so. i have a penpal.
well. i have a few actually - i'm quite spoiled.
2 are friends from university, both of whom i donned with in my last year there. 1 has been living all over, from martinique to (most recently) ottawa. and i get mail from ALL of these places! another lived in sandy lake for years, and has very recently moved to thailand to continue her teaching career (and as a side note: i miss her dearly). we send letters and paintings, and stickers and beads. we send books and writing tools, we send photos and stories. we have been penpals since we graduated university 5 years ago.recently, i've gained a couple more penpals. perhaps it's because i love writing and sending mail. and most recently, i've gained a fun and totally likeminded penpal in meredith - and she's so great and wonderful.
do you need proof? hmm. you're that kind of a person. well, ok. i get it. it's tough to just believe.
then all i need to say is, temporary tattoos from tattly.
yes. i got temporary tattoos in the mail. from meredith. try to tell me your pen pals are better.
and, in case you were thinking, 'oh my goodness jamie, i want temporary tattoos so badly! they were my most favourite when i had pen pals as a kid, and i want to relive that joy', i will say to you, i completely understand. which is why the first thing i did after opening my pen pal package of goodness and love.... was research tattly to death.
so, you'll see the kick ass tattoos i got. and it's true - every day i AM hustlin. so it all makes sense.
and then, find a pen pal. and send them some. it'll make their day, i swear this to you.
