Oh my goodness Johanna, this was wonderful! When I saw the video title I’ve never jumped so quickly to stop what I was doing and to watch. Such an amazing treasure for your friend to find in the mail box. Gorgeous fairytale theme. Having had many pen pals over the years, it was a joy to reflect for a moment and remember the days of using fancy writing paper, envelopes, stickers and stamps - and to think what fun it would be now to decorate my own. Great to know we can successfully address and send such works of art. .Beautiful, very creative and inspiring as always. Thankyou for sharing and yes please I’d love to see more ❤️
I am in the Canadian Rockies looking for penpals. I am happy to have many penpals. Looking forward to connecting with many of you. Beautiful video, and so many great ideas. I would love to see more.
Yes, please do more of this type of video! I currently write to about 10 women and I enjoy making my envelopes and packaging different for the receiver. Loved your Theme
Oh please do more of these I love penpals. I love your channel thank you for sharing your wonderful expertise with us all. Big hugs and loves xxxxxx Dorothy U.K. 🙋🏻❤️😘🌟
I remember old video (3 or 4 years ago) of penpal binder you altered to store all the incoming happy mail. Would love to see, how it looks like now, when it is full of all the fun letters. BTW it inspired me to store my penpal letters in binders too. Such a joy to flip through all of them.
What a cool way to send a letter. I love that envelope you made and using the fairy tale images. Johanna, you are just so creative and inventive. My older sister is like that. Just blows my mind.
Thank you Johanna for this video I must send an envelope with goodies for a friend crafter birthday and you have gave me a wonderful idea to do a decorated envelope. Love it.
I like everything that you showed here. I have a lot of pen pals already and I really want to send some things that would make them smile and remember me. Thank you for sharing your style and design.
I love this! I know it's not your normal video, but penpalling is my biggest hobbie and I'm always glad of new inspiration. Your work is as beautiful as ever Johanna x
Jack in the Beanstalk was always scary to me as a kid. The kid breaks into someone else’s home, steals stuff and then kills the guy, and this is justified because he is big & ugly. How is that a good moral tale for children? But that aside, lovely snail mail! Very cool envelope!
Dawn Lewis Yeah I was reading that book to my baby awhile ago and suddenly it occurred to me that it was rather messed up story! Now I realize it was written as colonist propaganda. Like if you go to someone else’s country and they are “savages” then it’s okay to commit genocide and take what they have. The same thing happened with pirates. Pirates are historically very bad people (murder, rape, slave trade) but nowadays there’s cute pirate themed costumes, toys, kids themed birthday parties. Like how did pirates become lovable?
@@uniquewhimsy622 people are nuts! Pirates became loveable because they represented freedom from the oppression of the daily grind and freedom from social conventions. I mean, who wouldn't love to drop the 9 to 5 job, travel full time and just take whatever they need or want? Most of us just aren't willing to murder, rape and plunder to get it. But when humans see something they like, they repress the negative aspects (like scurvy, VD, short and brutish life...). I mean, look at how people love the Pirates of the Caribbean ride where it is ok that pirates are literally stealing, murdering and (until recently) raping and selling women into the sex trade because they are singing a jaunty tune!
Dear Johanna hi! I love your unique envelope and all the sweet things that you prepared for your pen-pal! 😍🤗 Yes, i would love to watch more videos like it if you would like to make some more!❤❤❤
I absolutely loved watching this and would love to see more videos of your mailings and your process in putting them together. Thank you so much for sharing. -Renée
I love this idea. We don't have enough opportunities to communicate through mail these days. I used to penpal with camp friends all of the time. I would love to have a penpal! I am a newly retired teacher of students with learning challenges. I love in CA. My kids are grown, yet still live at home and work and/or go to school. I'm involved with many life projects, one of which is creating journals and mandalas. Would love the opportunity of connecting with someone. Yes...please do more videos that show different ways you use your creativity...it gives us all ideas for branching out on ours!
Well I made booklets for grandchildren 11 and 8, and put an envelope in each with things I had cut out. I made hidden pockets, hidden messages withing the book. Also on a couple of map pages and a colouring page I hid the words 'I love you' written on to the roads on the map. They loved then boy and girl. I also write letters to them both and send paper and a return envelope. They only live 2 miles from me but they love it. The 11 year old was given a sticker with a mobile with keys to press rather that touch screen, the olden days she said!!!! Ha!!
Wowsas. Beautiful. I’m thinking my 4 yr old grandee would love this. She’s in lockdown in Melbourne and would love a little bag of crafty treats. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏TFS.
A lady recently asked me to be her pen pal, I really need to send her a letter and some fun goodies soon. I would love more of these videos for inspiration! Thank you for sharing and have a funderful day. 💌💌💌

Classic Fairytale 💖
Goldie Locks broke into someone's house and stole food & used their items. I think Fairytale is another word for weird dream LOL
