AESTETIC PENPAL WITH ME: Last Spring Swap

Hello, lovers of floral beauty and cultural elegance! As the Sakura trees prepare to adorn themselves in their iconic blooms, I invite you to join a swap that immerses us in the splendor of cherry blossoms. This enchanting theme is inspired not only by the delicate beauty of Sakura but also by creative influencers like mochibujo, Mei Papier, Cat's Planner, and penpal_katrine.

The Sakura Mission:

Partner up with a fellow Sakura enthusiast to share the joy that these blossoms bring. Your task is to craft a letter of at least 2 pages, weaving themes of renewal, beauty, and the fleeting nature of life, as symbolized by the Sakura. Extend this theme to your envelope decoration, embracing the Sakura motif through your artistic expressions such as drawing, painting, collage, or even traditional Japanese art techniques. We encourage originality and a personal touch that reflects both the aesthetic and cultural aspects of Sakura. No prebought envelopes , your envelope must be decorated with washi, stickers, memos, or painted or etc...

If you need a burst of inspiration, explore "pen pal with me" videos on YouTube, or delve into the works of our featured creators who excel in thematic presentation.

Cherry Blossom Extras:

While not mandatory, including a little something extra with a Sakura theme will surely enhance the exchange. Consider adding Sakura-themed stickers, a small watercolor painting of cherry blossoms, origami shaped like Sakura, or crafted items that capture the essence of this beautiful season. Choose something thoughtful that you believe would bring a smile to your partner's face.
