Love it. With regards to the photos, did you cover them? Do you find that they stick to eachother when folded? X

I didn't even think of that! But no, I've not covered them and they're not sticking together so all's fine!

Yay! I love this video thank you! I am so excited to start- the one thing that is holding me up today is trying to figure out what size paper to use!!! All the cute paper are smaller, but thinner paper. The regular size 8.5x11 paper is nice but not sure if too big?! Help please :) Any advice on best size paper you prefer? I have all cute decorations to use (tape, stickers, all junk style beautiful things). Can’t wait to keep watching your videos and learning more. I just joined the fb group
@TheReadingResidenceКүн бұрын
Any paper is fine! I like to use all sorts, so smaller and thinner I just write on one side, I use the full document size (this is how my Pen Pal printables come from my store) and everything in between, and also note cards and postcards. Just play around with it and have fun!

This is wonderful! 😍 Plus, it's a trip that I also loved, so it's lovely to spot the familiar places. As you know, I typed a very detailed diary style report of our California Honeymoon and included lots of photos, but I still have a bag full of all of the papery bits that I picked up. Maybe I should convert it into a scrapbook to include them ❤

Hey there! 🌸 I'm Anu, 16, from the serene land of Kerala, India. Looking for a penpal to add a bit of creativity and color to my days (and escape endless screen scrolling!). I’m a blend of kawaii and vintage vibes-I adore both pastel cuteness and cozy, earthy tones. I spend my time with music, painting, dance, and crafting, and I’d love to share these little moments with someone who vibes with a mix of dreamy and retro! Let’s swap letters, thoughts, and a dash of creativity. 💌

Ooooh, a Post Office trip video would be EXCELLENT! A postbox topper 📮 Sadly, the postbox right outside our house never has one, but lots in the local area do. Maybe I need to learn to crochet/knit 😂 I'm a seasonal reader, too. I'm a bit in limbo at the moment, with it being the Halloween version of Twixmas. I'm not quite ready for the Christmas books yet, I'm waiting a couple of weeks, then it'll be 100% festive reads 🎄
