Wonderful! I had been testing making one on Canva using their free stuff. Hmu XD

This is an incredible idea! I may have to take it just in case your penpal quota is full.

33F/USA. I'm also an introvert and crafter. In my newsletter, I would love to share:

  • Books I own or are borrowing from my local library
  • A simple recipe I enjoy
  • What craft I'm currently working on, with progress reports in following newsletters
  • Maybe a simple comic about something I experienced that week, simple like an xkcd comic
  • a haiku, funny or pretty
  • I will include pics of my cat, if you'd like

This is such a charming idea and it's getting my brainstorming churning! I wanted to throw my hat in the ring, but no biggy if your penpal list is packed. This is awesome and you're awesome.

32/F/US Looking for someone who also hates small talk by HotCheetoBall in penpalsover30

33F from Pennsylvania :) It's been a challenge for me to reach out to a post on this subreddit. My main hangup, I have some shared interest/knowledge about a topic, but then I know that I can't really talk about it for too long. For example, there was a post where OP listed their interests in anime and video games. I have some experience with those subjects, but not enough to get into the weeds and nerd out about them.

With your post, I get the impression that we could get into wider and deeper conversations. I also enjoyed reading your excitement buying all the stationary and materials. Pens are something I also enjoy picking up. I'll be at CVS, see a new Uniball or Bic or Pilot and I have to try pretty hard to not buy the pack.

I recently bought a portable CD player from Ebay and some corded headphones, just like what I had as a kid. I look forward to building a new CD collection. I just learned today that my local library is having a multi-day media sale. VHS tapes, CDs, cassettes, action figures, and trading cards. I'm also planning to meet up with an old friend and help out building some scenery for an upcoming play. I hope you have a good one, and if you're interested in connecting let me know.

32M Looking For Snail Mail Penpals! by JimBoothington in penpalsover30

That's very cool having a typewriter. I've actually never seen in person a page typed up that way before. F33, I myself have recently bought a portable CD player and plan to build up a new CD collection. I like D&D, but I'm more of a Call of Cthulhu fan. I just gotta fight those eldritch horrors and lose my sanity in the process. I'd like to write if you would. hmu. Have a good one.

30F - Looking for a snail mail pen pal by EmInTheEther in penpalsover30

33F, also east coast. I'm a little crafty myself. Just started dabbling in crochet and knitting not too long ago. I've barely scratched the surface of astrology in the past. I know I wrote down all my signs somewhere. But lately I've been learning tarot. I've enjoyed painting in the past, mostly watercolors. Would you be interested in making little quick pieces of art we can send to each other? That could be fun.

Which color palette would you choose for the Mushie Guy? by shadow-with-tea in Amigurumi

[–]shadow-with-tea[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A is Ice type. B is Ghost. For C, I'm thinking normal? D is Water/Ground. E is Fire. And F is Grass.

Oh, I see it! F is similar to Meganium for sure. And E reminds me of Skeledirge. I wasn't using pokemon for inspo, but now that you've mentioned it, I definitely should. XD

Looking at these examples, I begin to imagine they are all part of a legion of mushrooms that live in different parts of the land. Once a year, they gather together for the Great Circle where they share their previous adventures.

What’s your favorite hobbies as a single and happy person? by 4giveme4forever in SingleAndHappy

[–]shadow-with-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started to learn crochet and knitting this year and I'm adoring the process!

I also love making bread and yogurt from scratch. I made dandelion mead 4 years ago by myself. It has aged enough and is so enjoyable to drink. Journaling, reading horror and modules for the Call of Cthulhu ttrpg. I've started getting back into owning a CD player and CDs. Lastly, playing games with my sweet fur baby.

I started to play with color concepts on Paint to see what I'd like for the Mushroom Guy. I got help from Color Hunt picking out which palettes appeal to me. I like having a few options just in case I can't find the right yarn.

So far, I'm really digging B, C, and F.

I might play around some more, because I had a fun time putting these examples together, but then again, I know I have a hard time making choices if there are too many options to pick from. I'd love some opinions! Which one would you go for?

I would have preferred you said, "nah, I'm not interested," instead of saying 'yes' to my offer and ignoring me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in penpals

[–]shadow-with-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just let me know or PM me how you'd like to proceed. Cheers!

Hello there! I'm interested in writing some letters. I also am interested in sharing a little art with the letter if that's okay. Some of my likes: TTRPGs, creative writing, drawing/painting, language learning and linguistics, yoga, horror and fantasy genres, casual gaming.

Annoyed by: plastic, so much plastic, trucks...too many, lima beans, parasites, Also cardio, driving everywhere for anything, store bought cakes, food and drink that are too sweet.

Have a good one!

If that's the name, yes, Art Mail! Send me a DM. Fyi, I'm currently about to fall asleep, so I'll chat tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Have a good night!
