Super Pen Pal


Letter sent by Heleen (the Netherlands), received long time ago, I'm afraid.

Stamped on the envelope the super design she made for the League of Extraordinary Penpals.


(As a Superhero Penpal myself, I think I have the right to personalise her design with my crayons...).

Your Mail Box


Sent by Ciara (the United States).

Amazing handmade postcard (painting, collage... all in one!). It was sent as the April swap of LEP. Participants were supposed to sent a picture of their mail boxes (I also sent an artwork, not exactly a picture). So April mail arrived in May...

My Mail Box


Postcard received from Postmuse (the USA).

It arrived more or less at the same time as the monthly newsletter of the League of Extraordinary Penpals. It inspired me to participate in the April swap. I took a picture of the mail box (the one I send mail in). But I find the mail box that I receive the mail in too boring (too regular, too square, too grey). So I drawn it in an envelope instead of taking a picture. This is the result (sent to Kim, in the USA):

Little Red Riding Hood


Sent by Tereza (Czech Republic).

I wanted to tell you that the letter I wrote to Little Red Riding Hood (to participate in April LEP challenge) was published yesterday in LEP's blog, yippee! And then I remembered I had received this cheeky Little Red Riding Hood some time ago.

I asked you for the postal address of Little Red Riding Hood. I did not realize that she could read the letter on the blog... and answer! So please, don't miss the reply she wrote (in the comments). By the way, I do not  understand what Scriptor has to do with the matter... ;-)

Letter to Little Red Riding Hood


April LEP's challenge was "to write a letter to or as your favourite book character". So I decided to write an important letter long time postponed. I can't say Little Red Riding Hood is sort of "my favourite book character". But anyway... I had some questions to her. 




So here is:
Dear Little Red Riding Hood,
We are about the same age. I remember you were about seven when I started reading your amazing story. For that reason I dare to write to you, because I feel we know each other since long time ago.
I must say your story always has fascinated me, and it’s for that I still read it to my nieces from time to time.  But thirty years later, they remain still some unanswered questions that sometimes keep me awake in the middle of the night. Now we're both grown-ups so maybe you can help me to avoid those uncomfortable sleep disorders.
a)  When I was seven I started to need glasses, and I of course I hated them. But your case helped to convince me. The possibility of not noticing my dear nan turned into a hairy beast scared me a lot, you know, so I finally decided to put on my glasses. (By the way: my Mum sends a big thank you).  Now I’d like to know the truth: Do you have any serious eyesight problems?  I mean… it isn’t so difficult to distinguish a wolf from a granny in normal circumstances, is it?
b) Why did you wear always this odd red riding hood? Didn’t you mind the children laughing at you at the school? And more important: Are you still wearing it? What does your employer think about that?
And c) Do you have a real name? Do you use it, or do you use Little, etc.? Or maybe do you sign as Big Red Riding Hood?
I hope you 
aren't offended by my questions and you have the time to answer me back.
Yours sincerely,
E.
By the way... anyone who knows her address?!?

Super Smurf


Sent to Heleen (the Netherlands).

I told you about the League of Extraordinary Penpals. Of course I could not resist to get involved in this project. Superheros usually keep their identity secret. But, you know, sometimes there are distractions, accidents, leaks... And It is how I discovered that Heleen is also a Superhero Penpal.

The occasion warranted a superhero envelope* with a superhero postcard inside!


*The superhero penpal in the envelope was drawn by Heleen. I only put the colours and the stickers.
