It’s time again for another Foodie Penpals reveal day!
This month, I received my package from my girl Jordan over at Food, Sweat & Beers. Jordan is HILARIOUS and I look forward to reading her posts because they usually make me laugh out loud at least once. Plus, she writes about beer…so that’s awesome. Also…she’s so fun to follow on Twitter!
Check out some of the awesome stuff she sent me!
{A box that was stuffed to the brim}
{A sweet card & a fun little painting!}
{Jordan did you paint that?! I love it}
{Precision Packing- tetris style}
{Blueberry Granola that was great with my Lemon Chobani}
(Two new flavors of bars that I had never tried!}
{I’m saving them for finals week snacks}
{Candied ginger, which I’ve heard such good things about}
{Spicy chocolate = AWESOME}
{A fun new flavor of gum!}
{Spiced Apple Cider- the perfect drink for cold winter nights}
{And some fuel to fight off the inevitable winter sickies!}
So there you have it! Big thanks to Jordan for hooking me up with some great stuff!
And now it’s time for some details about Foodie Penpals. In case you’re a new reader, here’s a reminder of what the program is all about:
-On the 5th of every month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.
-You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal!
-The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!
-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about flat rate boxes!)
-Foodie Penpals is open to blog readers as well as bloggers. If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you are to write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to worry about writing a post for that month. *US Residents only please at this time- hopefully we can expand soon!*
If you’re interested in participating for December, please send an email to me at theleangreenbean@gmail.com and include the following information:
-Your full name
-Your email address
-Your blog name/address
-Your twitter handle (if applicable)
I will need to hear from you by December 4th as pairings will be emailed on December 5th!
*You may have noticed that today is only November 29th…which is not in fact the last day of the month, but tomorrow is Wednesday and I didn’t want to interfere with Jenn’s WIAW party!!
