Pen Friends and Mail Art

Good morning world. I have found a website that I really, really enjoy. I cannot tell you how nice it is to learn that I am not the only one that does things like this. It has given me a "home" with "relatives" to play with:

I am very taken in by the posts that I have found there. I will no doubt be visiting there again and often.
In case that wasn't enough to thrill me, I also found: www.lettersandjournals.com
I have to tell you I will be going there frequently also. I am really enjoying my corresponding and mail art. It seems to have blossomed and come alive within the last month. THIS IS ME HAPPY!

IT'S BEEN FOREVER, WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

Okay, granted, I don't ever finish what I begin, but I must say this has really been ignored for a long, long, long, long time. I've been asked why I dropped the ball (thanks for noticing, Scotch). Well, I don't know. I will say I have gotten to within one state of having a pen pal from each state. Do people in Delaware know how to write? I have made some wonderful friends and I have learned some interesting things that I would never have known. For instance, where else could I have learned about ATCs? Not only do I know what they are now, but I have actually made some. I have learned a lot about mail art, FBs, post card collectors, people that journal (a lot), and even people that write as someone else...I am so much smarter that I might quit asking Ash for advice. I have gotten to the point that I don't care if I spell everything correctly, nor do I care if my punctuation and word usage is politically correct. I still have lots of family stories that need to be told in a place where they can be read by family. Some of the stories are funny, some are sad and some are just family history. I've been referred to by a first cousin (Judy Richard) as the family historian... I wonder, is that good or bad?
I'll try to post more stories soon and often.
Good day...
