I've got this 'thing' about mountains so it was pretty easy to get hooked on this beautiful picture by one of our partners in crime: Rita Neves. A lot of hearts and yeahs to this beautiful postcard, and let's read a bit about what snailmail means to her. ...
Hello dear letter writers! How have you been lately? Since the beginning of 2016, things weren't always as good and smooth as I expected in my life.

Hello everyone! How have you been? I have already told you some impressions about first letters, and what things I feel we should and shouldn't approach in our letter writing moments. Today, I'll be telling you a bit more about what to write on your letters, or mostly, what I like to write and read from my pen pals. ...
The sad part is that it does. Last year I've sent several letter wish weren't answered for several months. Some of those I tried to contact to at least know if it had all arrived, but most of the times I wasn't lucky. Meanwhile I even sent second and third presentation letters, thinking about post services and such. Some were answered, yes - but, several months later, as if it had only passed a few days, making me feel instantly a bit lost and distant from that pen pal. And it does happen. It's a good thing to keep in touch with our pen pals.
With love,
M.

Here's a bit from Kelsey, Washington, DC. - Snailmail is... an amazing kind of self-therapy for me. As I pour myself into papercrafts and letter...
Hello everyone! I hope you are going great, enjoying the first pieces of spring! Well, as you might guess for my recent absense, I'm dealing with much these days, and I'm preventing myself to tell a bit too much, a bit too soon. But of course not even the tremendous amount of wor or my companion named flu could keep me away from...
A few days ago I was making some new postcards for my pen pals, and I decided to make a special post + "kind of an event" for all of our felow postcard hunters and collectors around the world. Around the snail mail world, postcards will always be the simpler but precious way of getting in touch with your friends, family and pen...
