I received my first letter from my new penpal, Lotte! She is from Belgium and I sent off my first letter to her a few weeks ago around the 1st of May. I was surprised to have received her letter already! It was dated the 24th of May and I received it on the 3rd of June!
I am looking forward to writing with Lotte. Not only will the letters come swiftly, she seems like a fun person. She likes fantasy, and I have found fantasy books to be one of my favorite genres as of late. So we should have fun things to write about as far as that goes.
She is only four years younger than me, and I always like to think of myself as young at heart, so I think we will get along in our maturity level.
My Peacock Stationery
She wrote that she loves stationery and I am jealous of her ability to find some! I wrote her first letter on ripped notebook pages and the second on a template I printed from the internet. I am hoping to find really nice letter writing paper somewhere that isn’t going to cost me an arm and a leg. Until I find something great, I suppose I’ll keep printing templates. The one I found was nice, though. It was a peacock design.
Watch out for more correspondence from Lotte and others!
