I’m very new to the whole world of WordPress but I was nominated by a fellow blogger for an award ( Liebster Award) which requires me to give 11 random facts about me. So in response thank you to May K Hella for nominating me and here are some facts.
- I LOVE letter writing and snail mail, I have around 14 female penpals in the following countries USA, Canada, France, Germany, Brazil, UK, Australia, Austria. Right now I have 5 letters to write and send to Brazil, USA, UK , France and Germany.
- I’m a stationery collector and have a very unhealthy relationship with it LOL I buy way more than I’ll use in a life time but I just can’t help it.
- For the last 4 days I’ve had a really soar arm and swollen hand, to the point that I wasn’t able to hold a pen or type well. This morning my son grabbed my arm playfully and pulled it really really hard . I screamed a lot of obscene language ( not at my boy at the pain and promptly told him not to repeat mama) and all of a sudden my arm feels back to normal, I can type. No need for a Dr’s appointment tomorrow.
- I’m upset over the UK’s exit from the EU, personally I’d like to stay in.
- Green is my fav colour.
- I can sew and make clothes.
- If I was not a teacher I think my ideal job would be a make-up artist or fashion designer or even a simple dress maker.
- My fav classic books are To Kill a Mocking Bird and Jane Eyre.
- I speak French ( well I try to!).
- For my next book idea I want to work on a crime fiction story I’ve had in my head for almost a year.
- I’m a member of a book club here in London. Well I run it to be honest.
And that is me! 11 random facts.

Yeah that could work and be a nice surprise for him. My penpals I found on Interpals and also check out PenPal of the Week great places to start. I’ve been in contact with mine for 2 years now really great experience.

That’s great. I’m trying to think of where they used to post Pen Pals when I was a kid. I think my only concern is that I would have to give my address to a complete stranger.

You can get around this if you set up a PO box address…. Something to think about if you’re serious about it. To help protect your private address. Let me know if you take the plunge into the wonderful world of letter writing it really is fun.

Thank you. It is a skill that you always learn every time you complete a project or attempt to read and follow or adjust in some cases an industry shop bought pattern for a garment. My Nana used to sew and I spent a lot of time with her as a young girl before she passed away. You should give it a go, try something simple at first like maybe pillow cases or a simple shirt. Let me know how you get on.

Wonderful Kim! The long lost art of writing letter ! I used to have penpals. There is some excitement to be felt at getting mail addressed to you that is NOT a bill of some sort.

Yes totally agreed. Half the reason I have for the last 2 years indulged in this great art. I’m about to write a letter now destination Australia! Need a break from editing I think… just for a few hours. You say you used to have pen pals, why did you stop May?

A lack of commitment in my teenage years, perhaps… We all know how that goes
