Had upwards at 20 for a while in my teen years, but now I have about 8, and I consider each of them dear friends. My best friend and I also write letters, but they take months sometimes because they can literally reach 100 pages, no joke... :D We've yet to meet in person, but we're super-duper close and it's because God brought us together through penpaling.<br />Can't say enough good about it. ^.^Raechelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11845190071944799602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087101926959112663.post-28038051922130824792016-08-03T08:54:21.892-05:002016-08-03T08:54:21.892-05:00Snail mail ftw.

So much so that I sometimes get in trouble with Mom because of all the stamps I use. :) <br />Yep, definitely helps with the handwriting. Happy to say that I've never had a pen pal write back to me:<br />"...What exactly were you trying to communicate in that last letter??"<br />Snail mail should never go out of fashion.

It's been a long time, that I know ;) <br /><br />The benefits you listed were all great! And I agree with all of 'em. I think the only reason my handwriting has remained legible is because I keep writing letters. Never really thought of letters being like the monthly wrap-up posts, but now that you mention it, it is true! :D <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this, Abi! I really enjoyed your post :) Blessing Counterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464499449142181452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087101926959112663.post-82722357607454529032016-07-30T14:43:29.742-05:002016-07-30T14:43:29.742-05:00Have you found that left-handed writing looks mess...Have you found that left-handed writing looks messier?

It's rather hard though, because some of them send me 8 and 10-page letters, and the most I can ever write is 3 pages... xD I love the pictures too, by the way!

She lives all the way across the country from me, and it's so fun to write each other and find out what's happening in a completely different place. Sometimes we'll even send packages to each other. :)<br /><br />I love all the pictures in this post, by the way. Vintage postcards/letters are my faaave! (My aforementioned pen pal actually sent me some vintage postcards. <3) <br /><br />Now I really want to write a letter... ;)<br /><br />m a r y l i zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505343613442203117noreply@blogger.com
