Pen to Paper

So I wasn't able to complete my Pen To Paper Challenge due to life being overwhelming and the temporary misplacement of my cards hehe.  Since I've adjusted to my new life as a student and found my cards, I've gone ahead and written my notes as I had originally intended!


The first one was to someone whom I haven't seen in 10 years.  We were inseperable! There's a pretty funny story about our meeting too!  When we were about 10, I came home from school the one day and my Grandma said to me "I heard there's someone who is pretty excited that you're back!"  We had temporarily been living in Maryland and had just moved back to New York and apparently this person was THRILLED that I was back.  I looked at my Grandma and asked her what she was talking about.  In response, she asked me if I knew a girl named Heather.  To be perfectly honest, I had NO IDEA who this Heather person was!  Then my Grandma told me that Heather is her sister's granddaughter which made her my third cousin!

I had my friend Faron point her out to me in gym class the one day and we were the best of friends after that!  We were together at every possible opportunity and had tons of fun together.  A few years later, I moved to PA and unfortunately, I have not seen her since!  That move was particularly tough on me because I was so far away from my best friend!

I found her recently on myspace and then on facebook and we had the chance to reconnect.  I still haven't had a chance to go back and visit her but I am dying to!

My last card is to my aunt whom took me to battlefields, national parks, and all kinds of educational places when I was a child.  I believe she is part of the reason why I love to learn!  She also gave me an art kit many years for Christmas because she knew that I love to draw.

Pearista Pen to Paper Challenge Week 2


I've finished my second notecard. The name won't be disclosed as I'd love to keep it a surprise. This is a person whom I've only had the pleasure of conversing with via the internet but I've grown to love and get along with famously! I can't wait to meet this person in real life!!

    Writing this note made our meeting feel more "real". I am definitely LOVING this challenge!

Pen to Paper Challenge

I've written up my note.  This one is going to my Grandma. Writing it made me realize just how long it's been since we've been to visit her. I enjoyed writing it and think I'll probably write to my Grandma more because I'm not able to visit her!  This was definitely a good experience :)

Pen to Paper Challenge

I am a Pearista.  What does that mean? Pearistas are a group of bloggers that are sponsored by Pear Tree Greetings that share their value of staying in touch with others with their readers.  "Wait! What is Pear Tree Greetings?" you ask?  Pear Tree Greetings is an online stationary company that has many things to offer.  I really liked these Hard Hat Required birthday invitations but Logan insisted on Toy Story invites.  I'm thinking they'd still be great for Xander's birthday since he's still too little to tell me what he'd like.

As a Pearista, I have graciously accepted the Pen To Paper Challenge and will be sending one personalized note a week for four weeks.  I'll be sending a blank note card and envelope to the recipient to encourage them to do the same.

I'll be sending my first note to my Grandma whom I don't get to see often.  I don't intend on disclosing the other recipients just yet as I'd like to surprise them with their special notes but I will divulge in good time.

I'll be blogging about each note as I send them and what it meant to me to write them so stay tuned for more updates throughout the next four weeks.

Pear Tree Greetings will be picking one Pearista post a week and award that Pearista with a $50 credit to use towards any Pear Tree Greetings purchase!

Also, don't forget about this month's coupon code (which is also listed right below the page links) Throughout the month of August, enjoy 15% off anything and everything BABY! Birth Announcements, Baby Shower Invitations, Baptism Invitations and more!
