Are you of the age that you remember pen pals?
For those that don’t know what it is, I really don’t have time to explain to you how we used to write letters on paper. And then snail-mail them!
Shocking, I know!
Okay, I never really had a pen pal, but I wanted one – it looked so cool in the movies!
In today’s technology driven society, we’ve replace pen and paper with Pinterest.
And, not going to lie, I do love Pinterest!
Holley at chasingdestino.com and I were talking the other day about how fun it would be to do a Pinterest project together. Sadly, we are separated by half a dozen States, so that presents a bit of a problem – but we decided not to let the distance stop up!
Holley found some great inspiration on Pinterest and we settled on a puzzle.
We have a blank puzzle that we will email you and assign you a number, and then you decorate your piece and mail it back!
Think about how amazing it will be when all of the pieces come back home and we put it together – I can’t wait to see how everyone decorates their piece!
This is the inspiration pin – how cool is that?!? Clicking on the picture should take you through to the original if you want to read more.
Let me know if you want to be a part of this – I know there are several artists out there that I would love to see participate, and there are some of you that have kids that could have a blast with this one! It’s due back February 14th and we’ll take lots of pictures and get those distributed to the participants before we publish the final piece!
Come on!! Let’s be Pen Pin Pals!
Email me, text me, let me a note, let me know that you want a piece! Join us!

Oh, yeah, there are only 10 pieces – so call now, operators are standing by! And because the response has been overwhelming, I’m willing to give up my piece in the puzzle – because I want to see what YOU create! And, I’ll get a copy of the picture and print it out for my new inspiration wall! 🙂
Did That Just Happen Blog 
I love this idea! And yes I remember pen pals. I always wanted one too!
I did too! Apparently I didn’t want one bad enough to actually work for it – but in my mind, I totally wanted one! LOL
Awesome idea Kate!! Can’t wait to see the finished product. Good luck to everyone 😃😃😃
I am super excited to see the finished project, I hope to print it out and hang the picture of it!
And, I may have to do more of these!
I’m sure it will look fantastic. 🙂
am I too late to be number 10? 😦 that’s okay if not I will enjoy from afar….and I might just do it on my own and give you the idea credit of course. xo
You are #10!!! Go you! Let me email you!
I’m probably too late, but what an awesome idea!
You can be number #2! 🙂 I really hoped that you would want to participate! Would you email me at kateandmrt@yahoo.com? I’m being too lazy to go search for your email addy!
LOL, no problem 🙂
I’m so excited about this…but is it weird that i’m having puzzle making anxiety?! I need something GOOD for my piece!
hahahahahaha! I know, right! You are so artistic, it has to be good!
I had pen pals in Europe when I was a kid!
I think this idea is fantastic, Kate! I’d love to participate but it looks like you’re already at 10?
I’m sorry, we have sold out! But – if someone backs out, I am emailing you immediately! Cause you’d be awesome at this!
Would you email me at Kateandmrt@yahoo.com? If you are still up for it – I’d love to get you a puzzle piece!!
Will do!
I had a pen pal in 3rd or 4th grade. She was from Botswana. She sent me a photo of herself. I was expecting a black girl. She was whiter than me and blonde. It was pretty cool!
That is awesome!! And pretty darn funny!
That is a cool idea, Kate!
Thanks! I think it will be fun!
What an awesome idea! I used to have lots of pen pals – I went to church camp out of state back before email was a thing, and a bunch of us used to write eachother year round. I can’t wait to see how the puzzle turns out!
I remember that we always promised to write at church camp… but I sure don’t remember actually doing it! LOL I’m excited to see how it turns out, too!
Oh I definitely remember pen pals! Count me in 🙂 x
Awesome Dean! let me email it to you! 🙂
I’ve had pen pals around the country and around the world ~ including Korea, Sri Lanka, and Guatemala. I’ve never been pin pals.
So, sure, pin me to your list.
Awesome!!! Okay, email me at kateandmrt@yahoo.com because I can’t find your email address – and I’ll get you the puzzle and instructions!! This is great Nancy!
I tossed you a line . . . “let’s do it!”
It’s going to be interesting to see if Holly receives 10 pieces all printed on the same side of the puzzle.
I’m assuming that the side with the numbers is the “top” of the puzzle.
hahahaha, yes, let’s call that the top!!
Never considered that!
Great! Numbers up. (And fingers crossed).
