Haha, I feel the same way sometimes about always finding sign-ups too late! Fortunately, a couple of the mail things I do are monthly so you can always join in for the next round

What wonderful mail to get! I always intend to sign up for these kind of things but tend to come across them too late ;-/ Thanks for the links though

I love that it gives me an excuse to give and get fun things in the mail I’m glad to hear that you liked Neverwhere! Gaiman is an author I’ve heard such good things about, I have high hopes that I’ll like it too

I’ve been feeling that way about most of my gifts, but I finally put together one that I’m sure is awesome for my next penpal, mostly by stealing ideas from the gift Victoria sent in this post. It’s hard to be disappointed when you get chocolate in the mail! I’ve also never had anyone seem disappointed with the gift I sent and I think I’m always just happy to get mail, so if you’re interested, I wouldn’t let that stop you

This is such a great idea! Getting things in the mail is so fun. I’m glad you will be introduced to Neil Gaiman through Neverwhere – I really enjoyed that book and Neil Gaiman is just an awesome writer!

Oh man, do these swaps ever sound like FUN! I would also be worried that my gift wouldn’t be as good because I am not a very creative person. Neil Gaiman is great – can’t wait to hear what you think!

I agree! It’s so much fun to get and send snail mail but e-mail is so much easier that I’d never use it without these events

Wonderful! I’m excited for that one too. It will be the first postcard exchange I’ve done and I think it will be a lot of fun

I love snail mail but rarely use it anymore, so these events are great! I’ll have a more in-depth look when I get back from work.

Great books! I really like Neil Gaiman and Chocolat. I don’t remember whether I’ve watched the movie, though.
