As part of my continuing efforts to help boost YOUR creativity, I have created a FUN new project.
I’m assembling a team who wish to become GLOBAL pen pals. We’re not here only to BOOST OUR CREATIVE ENERGY, but SHINE our lights onto a world in need. People are lonely, unable to go to their clubs, guilds, and community centers. They miss connecting with artsy, like-minded people and now they can!
HOW IT WORKS:
1) Join my special Facebook group BOOST YOUR CREATIVITY WITH LORRAINE TURNER
2) Send me an email with your mailing address written EXACTLY how it should appear on the envelope. You will be matched with another team member through a random selection process. One of my assistants will contact you by email to send you the contact information.
3) Search for creative pen pal writing ideas on the internet and Pinterest for inspiration.
4) You can keep it very simple or hand decorate it. Why not print out some of your favorite images such as your quilts, sewing projects, or artwork? These can be cut up and pasted to make beautiful stationary.
Browse the scrap booking section of your local craft shop for stickers, stamps, and fun themed papers. Use your imagination and have FUN!
5) Kick off your first letter with an ALL ABOUT ME theme. Write four interesting things about yourself and add images, art, or however you wish to decorate this.
LET’S GO GLOBAL!
Please join this wonderful project and help SHINE YOUR LIGHT to someone who could use a BOOST! And while you’re at it…please share this with your friends, craft clubs and quilting guilds.
Together we will spread our snail mail hugs by sending a simple letter.
PS: If you’re reading this blog and think you may have missed the deadline…guess what?
THERE IS NONE! You are free to join anytime.
Love the deadline comment! Thanks Lorraine!
Great Renee, Thanks for JOING THE TEAM!
Is there a way to join this without having facebook? I do not do any social media but would really love to have a pen pal. Having a pen pal was one of my favorite things as a child in school and this is so appealing to me.
There are many pen pal organizations that charge for this service. I am offering this out of the goodness of my heart and set up guides to keep it as safe as possible. Social media platforms are not for all and I understand this. My project may not be suited for all people. All members of the global pen pal project must join the special FB group.
Can I join by using my husbands’ face book page?

What a wonderful idea! I am at home with my husband who has been battling cancer for four years. He cannot eat, he cannot speak. I don’t have much creative inspiration right now. I am sure there are other fiber artists with these challenges.
Dear Judith, thank you for your comment. Please follow the steps listed above to join this TEAM!
I want to join the penpals

Cant wait all excited
Hi Lorraine
I would love to be a penpal but am not on Facebook. Can I still participate or is that not possible?
There are many pen pal organizations that charge for this service. I am offering this out of the goodness of my heart and set up guides to keep it as safe as possible. Social media platforms are not for all and I understand this. My project may not be suited for all people. All members of the global pen pal project must join the special FB group.
I would love to join. I love “meeting” others from all over the world. I may be moving in a month or two – would that create any problems? This is awesome Thank you
Dear June,
Once you are matched, you will need to let your pen pal know your exact mailing address. It can be quite frustrating for members who invest their time only to sit and wait for a letter which will never arrive. Sign up and be sure to tell us how you wish to proceed.
