Why Don't We...Be Pen Pals!

Today on Twitter, I butted it on a conversation between Liv and Jess about how no one sends letters or cards in the mail anymore.  I'm part of a group of girls on Jezebel that sends postcards to each other so I suggested doing a blogger greetingcard/letter writing/postcard thing between bloggers and readers. They were game and I'm hoping a bunch of you guys will be too!

If you want to receive kitschy greeting cards, love letters, postcards, anthrax, etc...from a fellow blogger or blog reader, email me at melissanibbles@gmail.com  We can do this once a month, once a week, everyday, the possibilities are endless.  I'll match everyone with a penpal at the end of the week.

To recap:  Take a break from writing letters to jailhouse hotties and write to a cool blogger instead!

This is slightly off-topic but slightly relevant in that one of my magazines is actually focused on the stationery industry (Stationery Trends.) They're obviously into the written word in that industry and are having a "Twitter party" with a few giveaways tomorrow night. I don't do twitter parties, but I thought I would add the link from one of the sponsors anyway ;)

I *love* this idea, but I'm such a procrastinator I'd be afraid I'd forget to send something. :( (my christmas cards are still sitting on my kitchen table... all addressed, just never sent.)

This sounds like an awesome idea!! I'd love to do it, but right now I'm a nomad and don't have one place to "call home"/receive mail. If this is successful (which it should be!!!) can I join in March once I'm back with all you other stationary folk?
