My name is Phoebe and I'm a 27 year old English redhead - residing in South East England - with a passion for paper-crafts, snail mail, planning, crochet, miniature painting, gaming and I also bake occasionally as well! I've recently started exploring witchcraft too - I'm very much a baby witch! I have a 5 year old daughter, called Isla, and we both live with my partner, Conor.

I have been pen-palling for the past 12 years and often use Instagram as a way to connect with my fellow crafters/snail-mailers (find me at @inkyplum ). I've always adored doing anything and everything creative and it has lead me to study Film and Media Studies at University which I've thoroughly enjoyed thus far.

I am a spoonie and suffer with a number of chronic illnesses - the main one being Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. It has been through penpalling and snail mail that I have found some form of reprieve and am so thankful for those who have taken the time to write/send me something. Creating pen-friendships and exchanging mail with various people from across the globe has truly brightened the darker days and - no pun intended - has acted like a metaphorical crutch in my life when everything else seemed to be falling apart. How cheesy.
