So cute Jocelyn, we all love getting little cute goodies from our pen pals and this is so easy to make. I hope you are yours are well. 😀🇳🇿

I just found your channel and I love this! I have always loved having a pen pal. I love reading! Love it! Love anything paper crafting! I asked to join the fb group! Can’t wait!

So simple and effective! I'll have to try for next time I send happy mail 🤩

thank you! I'll try to do the same :)

super, very easy way and it turns out great!

i love to write to my family letters,

Fabulous comprehensive penpal guide ❤ It'll be 30 years, next year, that I've been penpalling 😮 but I still love watching videos like this to gain inspiration, and just because they're fun to watch 😊 I 100% agree that penpalling is purely about the letter, the connection, and hearing your penpals news. Everything else in a bonus. I love a bit of mail art as I've always enjoyed art & crafts, but that's my way of relaxing. If I send something arty I don't expect to receive the same back. Everyone has different styles and ways of penpalling, too, so it's lovely to see everyone's unique way. It doesn't always have to be through art, craft, or little extras. Some people get creative with how they lay their letter out. I've had penpals who write in a diary style, or I've received kind of interactive letters before with things like thought bubbles popping up in spots throughout the main letter that might say what music you're listening to, the weather outside, what you're drinking, etc. There's so many ways to be creative, it doesn't have to all be arty based. And, just a letter is the most important part 💌

I will definitely try this.

I love this! Wondering, and you might share this... but where might one find a clear envelope like the stickers of the blue dressed ladies stickers? it looks like thicker plastic that has the non slippery feel that is nicer than the slicker feel plastic... at least for me. By where, I mean like what kind of store, as I know the stores you have local to you are not likely to be local to me.

I love the ladies stickers!

Fun idea!

I love this! Great job Jocelyn <3

Looks great. What a great idea. 👍

Ohh, what a lovely idea to put pen pal letters in or other little treats. Will absolutely have to make some for my pals. Thanks Jocelyn 😀🇳🇿

🥳 Happy Birthday dear Jocelyn!!💐

I just got Weyward from my Little Free Library! I'm looking forward to reading it!

Omg, you always get the BEST presents and your friends/family know exactly what you like! You should have a birthday every day! I love the stationery set, so gorgeous and all the books! Well done Jocelyn! Happy Birthday! Cheers 🇳🇿😀

I have two of those sticker books as well. Love them! And that pink book about witchcraft sounds great. I like reading about those things too. I have to put that one on my tbr list for sure.

Lovely gifts 😍 I've been eyeing up those sticker books after seeing you using them, they're definitely going on my wishlist, and there's so many! I have the 3 Tessa Bailey, Weyward, and the 1st Housemaid book on my tbr 📚 I'm really looking forward to reading Weyward 🧙🏻‍♀️

Happy Birthday! When is your birthday? :) Cool gifts!

Happy Birthday!!

so cute))

Lovely video <3 Where did you find the washi strips?

Lovely letters and decorating, can I ask where your washi papers in the tin is from I love it lol xxx

Oh so cute Jocelyn, another idea for my letters. Glad you are well, nice to see you. 😀🇳🇿

Hello i like to find pen pal friends im from sri Lanka

Love the idea of mango and pineapple together and in green tea is even better. I had the pleasure of watching this video twice. I didn’t see the cover of the journal the first time, as I was still in a sleep deficit from having gone to bed around 3am. Your words lulled me into nod land. The second time I saw the whole story you shared. That’s a success for both viewings. Just for different reasons. For the card slots thing, I have one in a similar style journal set. I have a business card/ gift card sized card that came with something around Valentines Day, I think so that is its story now, lol. The card has the word love on a red background and has that way where if you look at it from a 45 degree angle it shows something different. That’s what I know is in one of my card slots. If you want, ephemeral cards with some kind of wellness related words on one side and then the definition on the other side, or something like that idea, is what I suggest for a brainstorming idea session.

Love that steam coming off the tea cup!

This is a great idea! You can get wellness cards that are the size of the front pockets, or you could make scrapbook style ones of your own. Or I think photos would be nice, ones that mean something to you, to tie in with the wellness theme. Either on their own, or prettied up in a scrapbook style 😍

A wellness journal is such a good idea. It'll be so useful having go to receipes as well. The idea of finding food stickers, etc, fills me with joy. Journalling for me is about well-being anyway.😊

Does the post office think the images will snag up the mailing machines?

I love the idea of this. Where do you get your stickers & papers from? Also is that a specific notebook or did you cover up the cover with your own pictures?

Fabulous envelopes. I love watching your creative process. I find it very relaxing. 😊 xx

So good video! Living in Sweden, I am Looking for a pen pal to learn Hebrew and to meet more people across the EU.

Thanks for sharing these with us! That’s a cute sticker book, and fun way to combine the stickers, washi tape, and make fun mail envelopes for your letters. Neat!

I'm feeling very inspired to dust off my crafty supplies 🎨

Very sweet, and so many great ideas! It really does make me want to get back to my pen pals, but that will have to wait until after my big move! Thanks for all your effort organizing swaps and connecting pals, Jocelyn. It's been such a gift to me over the years! Wishing you happy journaling and paper crafting. ☀️

This is a great idea to cover envelopes that arrive in junk mail that would otherwise be thrown away, thank you so much for this inspiration! I'm so glad I found you, I subscribed.

I am absolutely here for Journal with Jocelyn! I adore this, it's beautiful! 😍 xx

I loved this! Very relaxing ☺️ xx

I love Journaling with Jocelyn. I will add a new appointment to my calendar for Journaling with Jen (my own name, lol). Thank you for sharing this with us all. Thanks also for your inclusion of your support of anyone who has a foggy day, I felt very welcome by watching you do this. I never thought you were whatever for the ink lid.

Love the colorful cover! Just realized that I don’t really need a colour printer, just the fancy papers.

Was just going through the many journals I have. What a great idea! Thanks! Keep the Journaling with Jocelyn coming! 😊❤️

I love "Journal with Jocelyn"! My newsletter for my books is called "Joyce's Journal"--same idea with the alliteration!

Beautiful postcard and video!

I decorate gift bags with magazine and calendar images and washi tape as well as making martching tags. Now I will add envelopes. Thanks for the idea. - jo shu

I just stumbled on your channel and I'm so happy that I did! I love projects that use magazines, old book pages, junk mail, and other things that would otherwise end up in the trash! I also love things that anyone can do without having to buy any expensive equipment or materials. It's so nice to see videos that encourage people to have fun and just enjoy the creative process without trying to perfect. It's easy & fun and I love that! thank you for the awesome video!
