It's a Penpal kinda week!

This seems to be the week filled with a flurry of penpal activity!

Anna also got to join in the fun, getting a package in the mail from her beloved cousin, Chou.

Please check out Chou's world here:

12 Mariposa Alley

Anna: I can't wait, I'm opening it!

Lookit the squishy purple stingray!!!

*happy squealing commences as she rips through the package*

Anna: Lookit this stuff! Puppies and kitties and froggies and bunnies!

A Stingray and butterflies.... and LOOK AT THESE SHOES!

Me: That sounds a little too much like Alna for my taste -_-

Anna: HOW DID SHE KNOW?? How did she know I've been walking around barefoot for the last few weeks??? Chou is amazing!

She wrote me a lovely long letter too... you'll have to put this card on the penpal tree!

Me: Yeah, this stuff is all pretty neat.... but...

Me: I think you might want to question why Chou is sending you butterfly poops...

Me: and power hungry Domos intent on world domination!

Anna: Ooooh... oh my!

(I busted out laughing when I saw the PWPS sticker on the butterfly bag... it was fantastic!)

Penpals!!!

Hello!
Magrat here!! 

This morning I found out the coolest thing, my penpal, Lien,
over at Ryu's Dolls Blog
got her first letter from me!

Please stop over and see the whole story HERE!

It's so cute!!
Now that I know my letters will arrive safely,
I have to send her something more interesting!

 A NEW PENPAL!!!!

My girl, Pidge (find out more about her HERE)

recently got a letter from the lovely Lily!

A while back, my other 1/3 scale girl, Alna, sent a
Valentines exchange gift to the girls at Lily's house...

and they've all kept in touch ever since!

The lovely gift bag in THIS post came from them!

But that was all before Ms. Lily even moved in.

So now that she has, my Ms. Pidge has been very excited to write to her...

but Lily beat her to it!

Please check out the Penpals tab to learn more about Ms. Lily!!

  Pidge: Oh, Heather! Look at this!! I got the most lovely letter!
Aren't these kitties cute?!

Me: Aww... so cute! Who is it from?

 Pidge: Well... uhm... -_-;;

Me: What is it?

 Pidge: Technically it's to Alna... and kind of to me...
because the girl who sent it was afraid you'd given me a boot.

Me: I think you mean "Given you THE boot"

 Pidge: Oh... ok, Alna was worried I was getting new shoes and she wasn't
... but Alna said it was ok if I took over this letter.
Is that really ok?

Me: Yes, If Alna gave you permission it's fine.

 Pidge: Oh! Oh good! It's from a Miss Lily! She is so cute!!
She did ask Alna if she liked being famous...
and Alna's response was "YES!" but that it made her
very busy, so that was why it was ok for me to write
letters back. I hope I'm not too boring. :(

Me: I'm sure you'll be fine.

 Pidge: I don't know... I'm not a rock star.

Me: Thank goodness for small favors...
this house doesn't need more than one diva.

 Pidge: What?

Me: Nevermind, we love you just as you are.

Pidge: Ok then! :D I'm going to go write a letter back RIGHT NOW!
Look at how beautiful Lily's curly letters are!
Mine will look so sloppy! T_T

Me: OMG... stop worrying! Go... Write!

Pidge: Ok!

Pidge: Oh! One more thing!!!

Me: Yes?

Pidge: Alna and I got these SO LOVELY necklaces from chibinezumi!
Did you know she lives right here in Michigan...

AND YOU'VE NEVER EVEN MET HER!

>8(

Me: I know! I know! I really need to!
I'm sure Alna would like to visit Airy.

Pidge: Who is Airy?

Me: Someone who moved out before you moved in.

Pidge: Is it my fault she moved out? Was there not enough room?

Me: YES. Exactly. >8)

Pidge: ;_;

Me: I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Don't cry!

Pidge: You're so mean!!

For anyone who is interested in learning more about chibinezumi
and her wonderful creations
(She also makes awesome sparkle shoes that I need
to get Claire to show off!)

Letters from Penpals

 Anna: zzzZZZzzzZZZ

Me: Anna, wake up!

Anna: *yawn* Oh, hi Heather! I was just taking a nap.

Me: Yeah, sorry to wake you, but a package came for you!
*puts package contents down in front of Anna*

Anna: Whoa! Lookit all this! Who is it from?

Me: Your cousin, Chou.

Anna: Oh! Is there a letter?!

Anna: Oh my goodness! She wrote so much! I think I need to write her back a longer letter. T_T

Me: I'm sure your letter will be fine, no matter how long it is. It's not a competition.

Anna: Isn't it? ISN'T IT?! You know how family is!

Me: Uh... what?

Anna: I don't know, I saw this tv show where the family was very competitive,
so I thought that's how families were. Aren't they like that?

Me: No! Well... sometimes... wait, NO! No more TV for you, missy!

Anna: Aww, look, she also sent shells she collected on her trip! These are going on my shelf!

Anna: Oh, there was this little package in the letter too...

Anna: EEEE! Look! It's a necklace made from one of the shells she found!
How did she drill the little hole in it?!
Ok, now on to the boxes!

Anna: Mmmph!!

Me: Anna, you really need to be more careful. -_-;;

Anna: EEE! Earrings!! These are so cute!

Me: Wow! It was so nice of her to send you so many!
You'll have to share with the other girls.

Anna: I'm surprised Madoka isn't already here to nab some. -_-

Me: Er... me too, actually. That worries me.

Me: Here's a closeup of them!
If you're interested in a pair,
please contact Retrograde and see if she has any left to sell!

Wall-E is fascinated by the earrings... I think he wishes he had ears.

Anna: Sorry, Heather, I couldn't wait, I opened the next box
and it was filled with these lovely barrettes!

Me: Oh, we'll have to see who looks good in them!

Anna: I think Alna should wear the red bow... or maybe the pink bunny... I don't know.
Do you think she'll wear them both?

Me: Well, maybe not at the same time... but I'm sure she'll love to wear them. :)

Anna: Thank you SO much, Chou! Our package is currently on it's way to you... and my letter!

Make sure you follow the instructions on the letter's envelope. *nod*

Anna: I really, really, really love my new necklace! It seems perfect for a Geocacher...
to wear a necklace that is a found item.
It's just SO cool!

Me: Yes, thank you, Chou and Elly, you totally made Anna's day... and probably Madoka's too, if I could just find where she got off to... she's so... sneaky sometimes.
It's like she's everywhere and nowhere all at once. -_-

(Yes, I just cannot help but allude to Madoka's past almost every time I mention her...
it's like a sickness.)

Pen Pal Update!

There is now a tab at the top of the blog dedicated to Pen Pals!

You can go there to find links to the girls who my girls are pen pals with, so you can follow both sides of the story, or just check out some other really cute Pure Neemos.

Also, if you are interested in becoming a pen pal, you can go to that page for instructions

You do not have to be a Pure Neemo to participate!
My girls will happily write to any type of doll :)

A Letter Arrives at 12 Mariposa Alley

It's very probable that you all are unaware that Anna has a snail mail pen pal,
her cousin, Chou,
who lives at 12 Mariposa Alley.

Click on the image above to see the post about Chou receiving Anna's letter!

12 Mariposa Alley is filled with quite a lot of fun adventure, and I highly recommend checking it out if you enjoy the antics of my girls here.

If you read the comments, my girls often reply to posts made at 12 Mariposa Alley as well!

It's a lot of fun and one of those things that makes playing with dolls all the more interactive!

My girls are always very excited to write letters and send them off!!
