I was wondering if any of you scrappin gals have a daughter about the same age as my daughter that would want to be pen pals.
She had a pen pal a while ago and the girl had some hard times in her family and stopped writing.

She really enjoyed having a pen pal so she asked me to see if anyone here may want to write to her.


She is 13

loves music and horses.

going into the 8th grade ( we homeschool)

really really wants a cell phone

I wish I did. I remember having pen pals when I was a young girl. It was so much fun. I had about 80. I was trying to have one in every state and in as many countries as possible. I think I got my first pen pal from one of the teen magazines. They use to let kids put in an ad looking for pen pals. I don't know if they still do. I hope she finds a new one soon! :)

My granddaughter Kayla is almost 12 (Aug 21)...she lives in North Carolina. Right now she's on a missionary trip with her church (in Mexico) but I can ask her when she gets home on Monday. She might enjoy that.

that sounds fun, but my oldest is only 8. However, she loves horses and music :)

My granddaughter might be interested. She just turned 12 in July, loves horses and music. I will see tomorrow if it might be something she would like to do.

My grandaughter Rebekah turned 13 on April 24th. She had a twin brother who passed away when they were almost 3 months. She is very bright and loves her family, loves our Lord and is a beautiful person. She does have a mild form of Aspergers. She did want a pen pal but the girl that said she would do it never answered her letters, so I am she would love the opportunity to try again. Let me know if your daughter is interested.

My kids are only 1 and 2 so I'm of no help there, but, I have a younger brother who just turned 13 this month. He is also homeschooled and my Mom has been looking for a penpal for him. He lives in new Brunswick, Canada. Plays hockey, participates in Scouts Canada, and is an animal-lover.
