Snail Mail Exchange

A few times a year, I organize a snail mail exchange.  I've absolutely loved seeing women across the country {who sometimes don't even know each other} connect through something real and tangible.  And who doesn't love to receive snail mail?!

Here's how it works...

If you decide to participate, I will randomly assign you a snail mail exchange buddy to whom you will send a small, fun snail mail package.  Think handmade, simple, thoughtful.  The point is just sending someone something to make them smile, not spending a ton of money.  And you certainly don't have to make something if you don't feel comfortable with that.  Just think of something YOU would enjoy receiving. 

Ideas:

  • Handwritten notes/cards or encouraging quotes/verses
  • Items from nature
  • Bookmarks
  • Something handmade/sewn/knitted
  • Tea/coffee
  • Simple jewelry
  • Lotion/soaps
  • School supplies :)

Here are some items I received during a fall exchange - colorful adorned paper clips, fun quotation cards that are now hanging in my craft room, and some beautiful pods from a sycamore in the sender's hometown, with inspirational words attached to them.  I still look at these every day.
