PLEASE HELP RAISE AWARENESS!!!

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!!
I started a gofundme campaign in order to help raise enough money to help my mom stay in school. We got laid off from our jobs so it’s been hard trying to keep up with the payments and school expenses. It would mean more than the world to us if someone was willing to help donate. A little can go a long way, I want to surprise my mom with the donation because she doesn’t know I began this campaign. 
PLEASE REBLOG THIS!!!!!! Let everyone know about this campaign!!!! Also the link to the campaign is:gf.me/u/bq5jgc 
I don’t want my mom to drop out of school just because we can’t afford her classes. She’s finally going back to school to be a certified CNA (her dream job)

Rainbow Pencils & Adorable Sticky Bookmarks by Duncan Shotton

Tokyo based artist Duncan Shotton has designed a set of unicorn colored pencils, which are made from several layers of recycled waste paper, as opposed to wood like a traditional pencil. Each piece has a 6-layer core, which is coated with a layer of black and white. Although they function like an ordinary pencil, the rainbow pencils create beautiful paper rainbows when you sharpen them.  The shavings appear as a beautiful paper 3D rainbow.

In addition to the rainbow colored pencils, Shotton creates adorable stick bookmarks for the bookworm in you. He aims to create functional, beautiful and high-quality products, which are inexpensive. You won’t even break $20 bucks in his shop. Get them here!

Snail Mail: Tips on how to save your money!

If you're just starting and really want a pen pal but are thinking about snail mail... you don't have to spend your money that much on decorating your letters. If you look up snail mail, you'll find that some people go all out and spend a lot of money. Here are my tips that I tend to do so ya girl can save her money lol 1. Try going to TARGET! The dollar section is literally my favorite. You can buy cute pens, stickers, note pads, stamps, etc. My last post was about gifts you can send to your pen pals so you can buy cute small items for your pen pal as well 2. Dollar stores! Literally my favorite place to find stickers or just about anything 3. Art Supplies Stores Sometimes they'll have cute stickers, markers, colored pencils, etc... They're not that cheap but sometimes they have certain items on discounts. So it doesn't hurt to check. 4. Michaels has a dollar section as well and you can find cute items in which you might need :'))) 5. Same goes for the store Blicks :-) 6. Big lots has a section of crafts stuff. It may not be called "crafts" and are office supplies but you're bound to find cool stuff if you have the time to sort everything out. 7. Joann's Fabric and Craft store Online: 1. AliExpress (the app) it's really cheap stuff. You can look up anything and find anything at a really good price. I bought metallic markers from this website and I am in love with them!!!! 2. Amazon has cool stuff. It just depends on what you're looking for Remember to have fun while you write to your pen pal! No need to freak out and spend so much money, when you can find a lot of cute things at an affordable price.

Snail Mail!?! WHATS THAT!?

HELLO MY LOVES! So I've been asked what "snail mail" is and I've been meaning to answer this frequent question. So when you get a pen pal there are different styles of letters in which a person may write. For instance, snail mail would be mail that is decorated and more thought out. There is a lot of time spent on it compared to a simple letter that you may have written to your pen pal. A lot of people who prefer snail mail, typically mail their pen pals gifts, add a lot of decorations to their letter. If you want to try this but don't know what to send your pen pal, my last post is about what you can send to your pen pal. The gifts do not have to be expensive and maybe you already own some of the stuff or can make it! Remember to just have fun with it :-)

I've tried blur too, and it doesn't work well. Just take an item (little piece of paper, keys, a candle) and put it over the address, and THEN take the picture. Voila!

lol thank you so much ✨ quite kind of you

[psmailers]

Hii! are you still looking for a pen pal? :3

Yes I am :')))

[psmailers]

What should I send to my pen pal?

Well I cannot really tell you EVERYTHING on what you should send to your pen pal but hopefully this will give you an idea:

1. CANDY! (make their day)

2. Pictures (whether it’s of you or something you just really like/find pretty)

3. Stickers

4. Post Cards from places you visit

5. Pencils/Erasers/Pens (They don’t have to be expensive or anything. It’s the thought and effort that counts!)

6. Post-its

7. Washi Tape (You can use a popsicle and wrap the washi tape around it. That way your pen pal can use washi tape you own!)

8. If you like to draw, you can draw anything on pretty paper and cut it out (maybe turn them into stickers?!)

9. Make magnets! DIY!

10. Make your own bookmarks with the things your pen pal and you have in common. Or maybe something you find cute

11. You can make pins and send them to your pen pals

12. Send them bracelets or a necklace (You can even make that)

13. Make a CD of your favorite playlist (Burn a CD of your fav. songs)

14. Cute hair pins

15. Souvenirs from where you are from/at

16. You can always get leaves or flowers and use tape that way your pen pals can save and see what your fav. flower or leaf is? lol or maybe you just like being outdoors

I can go on and on... I hope this gave you an idea or maybe you might even try some of the things that were on this list. Whatever you’d like, just remember to have fun with it!

SOS! I need a pen pal!

If you do not have a pen pal but really want one and don’t know where to start, I will give you some places to check.

1. You can always use google and type in pen pals or find pen pals. Several sites will pop up in which you can use to find a pen pal.

2. If you use Instagram you can always check the hashtag “penpals wanted” you’ll definitely find pen pals that way. There are also instagrams in which people make to help you find pen pals. Such as my Instagram!!! @/FINDMEAPENPAL :’)))

3. If you’re 22 or younger, you can always be my pen pal!!! I am always in need of a new pen pal

Hey miss!! Firstly, awesome tumblrs! Both your private and your p&s mailers one! :D I'm writing you, however, to advise you of something. I saw that on your p&s mailers one, you have pictures of your outgoing mail. I would highly highly suggest, that when you post pictures of outgoing or incoming mail, that you do something to hide/obscure/blur/cover the mail addresses - simply for privacy. You never know who sees the pics!! Have a look at my tumblr, and you'll see what I mean. Just some advice!

I do know what you mean however, I don't know how to blur it out. I've used some apps but you can still see the addresses. Thank you so much though

[psmailers]

Hey! Are you still looking for a penpal?

Yes, I still am :-))
