my first pocket letter pal has received her letter woohoo!




Yay! My first very pocket letter for my pocket letter pal, Jill, finally arrived at its destination WOOHOO! I wasn't sure what to make but then I remembered that Jill loves vintage stuff and pocket letters are about getting Happy Mail in your mailbox, so I combined vintage images about letter writing with crafty supplies. Figuring out 18 pockets turned out to be a bit more of a creative challenge than I expected LOL but it was lots of fun to make! 

Wishing you lots of crafty fun!

my first pocket letter received

Have you joined in on the Pocket Letter craze? So much fun! Pocket Letters were created by Janette Lane. You can see all the fun on her blog and her two Instagram accounts, here and here. They combine the love of paper crafting and letter writing, with the love of scrapbooking, stationery and planner supplies. I've loved paper, etc. since I was a child and also used to scrapbook for many years. I've been enjoying watching everyone's Pocket Letters on IG but couldn't figure out how to get started. I didn't want to swap with a stranger on the good old interwebs. So when I saw that my very first swapping buddy ever, Jill of A Little Bit of Everything was swapping them, I got all excited and told her I was interested if she'd like to do another one. WOOHOO!

Jill's arrived this past week --- mine alas, is vacationing most likely at the Customs Office or some other unknown spot between CA and CA --- California and Canada.

I'm betting you'll want to play along after you see how adorable Jill's is, so darling!

Jill remembered I like dogs and books and used those for her theme. So cute! And inside each pocket are goodies for crafty play, so much fun. Thank you so much Jill for being my first Pocket Letter Pal!

Hope you're having a fun crafty weekend!
