My pen pal list seems to keep growing. When I stopped to check the po box yesterday I picked up some fun stamps for my letters. A couple of my pals are cancer survivors so I thought the breast cancer stamps were appropriate. I also tend to stuff my letters with bits of yarn I’ve spun, origami and recently fabric scraps from the quilt I’ve started so that sometimes it’s tough to keep the envelope sealed. One of my recent letters arrived with a lovely wax seal on it so I popped by the local stationer in search of a seal of my own and picked up supplies. At first I had the wax stick too close to the flame and burned it but after several tries I got the hang of it. This is a modern sealing wax that’s very bendy so it won’t chip or break in the mail. I love it!

I love pretty stamps! The flower ones are new–haven’t seen them before. Where did you find your pen pals? I checked out the Ravelry group, but it didn’t seem too active. I used to love having international pen pals and miss the art of letter writing. I like your wax “J”–it looks great!
Happy Weekend!
