I'm a Geek for: Snail Mail

These colorful folders are home to my many snail mail projects. In the past few years I've been sending more letters then I ever have before. One of my projects is 100 Letters. After finding an old stationary book with 100 pages, I decided I wanted to send 100 letters to my friends and family all around the world. I'm very close to being half way through and once I do reach 50 I'll make another video.

 

Another snail mail project I'm apart of is the International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club. I was in the second round of pairs in April and I was paired up with a lovely lady name Amy who sent me a huge package for our very first exchange. She knew it was my birthday month so she really went all out. I decided to film myself opening the package so you can see what I got and my (very happy) reaction.
 

 I wish I had enough money to get a PO Box so I could post the address in every video I make and on this blog, but until then I am only open to becoming pen pals with people from the IGGPPC or close internet/YouTube/blog friends. If you fall into one of those categories and would like to exchange snail mail, let me know!

So "I'm a Geek for"is a link up I'm starting where geeky bloggers can collaborate on themed posts and link up!  If you want to join the "I'm a Geek for" party, link up with your own post about snail mail . We'd love to see it. And if you can't make it this time around, we'll be back in December with another theme. Join in then!

Pen Pal Mail: IGGPPC

I finally got around to posting my mail vlog from when I opened my first letter package(!) from my IGGPPC pen pal. I hope you enjoy my 'squeeing' and my inability to 'even' as I get probably the coolest thing ever in the mail from a stranger.



Thanks for watching!

Found Favorites #6 Stationary

With the results of the International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club Round 2 fast approaching, I though I'd do a stationary themed Found Favorites this week. Most of them are by related to the project as well. Get your gel pens and your stickers ready!

This Lisa Frank greeting card really takes me back to my elementary school days. I loved my blue leopard binder!

Oh man, Firefly stationary! Need I say more??!

You all know I'm a sucker for cute cats and these cat stationary cards are no exception.

These tiny encouragement cards are just so brilliant. Just seeing the message online makes me feel good, imagine finding one in a letter someone sent you.

I love Whitney's art, and this stationary card is just so cute and simple.

International Geek Girl Pen Pals Club

I have always loved all things literary and enjoyed the art of snail mail. Ever since I can remember I've had one pen pal or another.  They never lasted too long but they were fun. Over a year ago I started a project called 100 Letters.  So far it's been successful but it is still long from completion.

When I first heard about International Geek Girl Pen Pals I was a little hesitant, seeing as I'm already sending so much snail mail. The more I read about it, however, the more intrigued I became. This was not just a pen pal service, this was made for and by geeky women. So I signed up!  It was hard to pick 4 geeky things to represent myself. I could go the easy rout and just pick the popular ones but I ended up putting down the first things that came to mind.

Cats (the musical)
The Lord of the Rings
Labyrinth
Harry Potter
YouTube (and film making in general)

I have no idea if there will be any other Cats fans or Labyrinth fans out there, we shall see! I'll be happy with whoever I get and I can't wait to send out my first letter.

Are any of you a part of International Geek Girl Pen Pals? Round one and two are full but they have announced a round 3.  Make sure to follow their Tumblr to find out when you can sign up!

EDIT
My Intensedebate comment system started glitching a lot so I had to remove it. I did not want to lose the comments this post had but it had to happen.  I loved what people had to say so I screencaped it before I deleted Intensedebate.  (If your comment is one of the screencaped ones, consider commenting again, it'd make my day!)
