Foodie Penpals?? SAY WHAAA?!

SO I received an email from one of the health blogs I follow(just my subscription to receive emails when they update/post a blog). And today's was very interesting, she was talking about a program she had signed up for through another health blog. I just had to check it out.
It was Foodie PenPals by The Lean Green Bean , she started it in September of last year. Every 5th of the month you will receive your penpal via email, including that penpals dietary restrictions and allergies they may have. Then on the 15th of every month, you and your penpal will ship out those goodies in a box to you/your penpal, and on the last day you will do a blog post about the items you received from your Penpal!
The boxes are to be filled with: 
 1.Something written: This could be a recipe, your favorite recipe, what you included in the box, if you included any of your favorite foods in the box? a motivational quote? ANYTHING BE CREATIVE!!!!
 2. The Spending limit is 15$$
 3. you can include local goodies, something your area is most popular for, homemade goodies etc. 
 4. bloggers and blog readers are allowed to participate, if you are a reader you could email the blogger that you got and do a guest post on what you recieved!
 5. you are responsible for your shipping, make sure you pack it well and take into account how fragile it is, size and food life into account. Also don't forget about the flat rate boxes.


US or Canada Residents can do this, except someone from the US will NOT be paired with someone from UK. Foodie PenPals Post go to that link, if you are from UK and there will be instructions on how YOU can get involved also a form for US residents!!!


I signed up!!! I cannot wait to get an email with my penpal pairing!! this is so exciting!
