IT'S BAAAACCK :cokecat:

Writing letters is fun! Getting letters is even more fun! This is the Third Secret Penpal!! :deco: It seems like everyone had a lot of fun in this before, so I hope even more people will take part this year.

You'll write a letter to one lucky H!Pster! You can write anything! As much as you want! You can include anything with the letter! A nice magazine, candy, nothing else , whatever works for you!

  • Poor handwriting? I don't care! Sign up!
  • Can't think of anything interesting to write? I don't care! Draw pictures, include newspaper & magazine clipping. I know I would love to have some foreign-language/country articles to read :thumbup Anything goes!
  • Not comfortable with English? Write in any language you want!

Registration Deadline: June 30th - I will draw names at the end of the day, Elfster will in turn send you an email with information on the person you drew. Please only sign-up if you intend to participate, and withdraw if circumstances change.

Please add your mailing address to Elfster. It is only visible to the person that draws you. If the person you draw does not add a mailing address, PM me here at JPHiP, and we'll get things sorted!

After the draw: Start writing! I'm hoping people can receive their letters by mid-July.

:cokecat: SIGN UP (http://www.elfster.com/exchange/view/5125198/9d4a98/) :cokecat:

Looks like I'll have to bring out my papercraft skills once again. Guess I'll have to buy more glue and paper and scissors and x-acto knives.





Completely forgot I still have to build the rest of Link together from last year.  :nervous

A life-size Hyomin (or maybe a bit taller than the real thing :P) :heart: Alternatively, Howl's Moving Castle.

Pumped and I have no idea what to write! I actually tried writing a letter a couple of weeks back and ended up doing 6 pages. I then proceeded to throw those pages in my bin :nervous Going to get this right, I hope!

When I woke up I was being pestered by my mum to see if I'd be at home at 3 still to get a parcel... o___o at first I didn't know but then I found out I was home until evening so I asked "is this to wait for dad's parcel till he's home??" but no, it was for me? I couldn't remember ordering anything... and anything that could of been delayed till now especially not described as "a big box" XD;;
Honestly, thank you so much- it really made my day! And you know what? Ghibli models? You picked the best ones. Totoro's been my favourite/most watched Ghibli film since I was a kid, well before I knew of Japan and Anime (lol I remember my mum reading the subtitles to me as I couldn't read fast enough). I actually squealed when I realised what they were! >  W <

Well I'm glad you like them.  :)

I was worried if they were gonna get flatten before you got them. Worst if they haven't made it at all.

I comfess that it took me 4 hours for each of those Totoros, without instructions.

Now who wants me to make them papercraft models? (hopefully not life-sized ones  :nervous)

I've written about 3 draft letters at this point, all of which have been binned.

I was actually avoiding checking this thread because I didn't want to be demotivated by seeing everyone else's awesomely brilliant efforts and they have indeed been awesomely brilliant, may I say! Fear not, though, dear penpal! I shall definitely have my letter posted before the month is up! Hang in there! :jphip:

I still haven't sent mine out yet...been distracted by job hunting and Team Fortress 2 (and now PWO). :nervous I hope I can finish it up by the end of the month.

And to whoever is supposed to be sending me something: I received your e-mail a few weeks ago, I apologize for not acknowledging/responding to it, and I hope you can recover soon. :(

Beautiful art, amazing letter, and cool jphip stickers! Maybe I'll stick one on a future car.
I'm stepping my game up next time.
