About Me & Things I Love

Hello! My name is Julie and I'm a 30 year old homeschooling / unschooling mom, girlfriend, stationery designer, penpal, sushi lover, photographer, writer, blogger, friend, daughter, French speaker and much, much more.

Julie

I have a 5 year old son who's creative and witty, just like his mom! ;) More about him below. ♥

I've been into penpalling and swapping for years. I started writing letters when I was 7, so it's been over 22 years now! I used to swap decos and slams, but am now focusing on letters. I have wonderful penpals who are very dear to me. I love snail mail and everything that has to do with it: pretty letter sets, colorful pens, stickers, decorated envelopes, rubber stamps, notecards...

My love for paper products + my interest in penpalling + my creative side = We've Got Paper! I started designing letter sets just for fun and eventually opened my own stationery shop. I love having my own business!

My other interests are psychology, personal growth, spirituality, reading, cooking, badminton, movies, music, alternative medicine, animals, photography, the law of attraction, communication, etc.

I usually get along really well with people who are unconventional (or at least open-minded), artists and creative folks, writers, photographers, independent but friendly and genuine people as well as optimistic and positive individuals.

Things I always love receiving: writing paper, pens and markers, notecards, sticker sheets (not loose please), envelopes (size A2+), notepads, scarves, socks, tea bags, things for my son (see below), etc.

My Son & Things He Loves

Louis-Justin is 5 years old and he's homeschooled. He's in love with trains. He collects railroad / train postcards and loves receiving mail!

He's very imaginative and invents stories all day long. He likes playing with figurines, reading, "writing" letters to his penpals and sending them his paintings, taking photos, playing in his sandbox or at the park with his friends, watching DVD's, etc.

Louis-Justin

His favorite characters / TV shows / movies are: Franklin the Turtle, Diego and Dora, the Little Einsteins, the Smurfs, Mickey and Minnie, the Incredibles, Winnie the Pooh, Thomas the Tank Engine, George Shrinks, Monsters Inc, Mighty Machines, Rolie Polie Olie, etc.

Things he would love receiving: FIGURINES! Also, little boy stationery (paper, notecards, stickers - trains, airplanes, cars and trucks, you get the idea), clothes (wears a size 5 for pants and 6 for shirts), postcards, toys, sticker books, etc.
