june foodie pen pals

My apologies friends that I’m getting this up so late. I’ve backdated this post, just as a FYI.

I’m sad to say that June is going to be my last Foodie Pen Pal month for a while. This is my 10th month to participate, but unfortunately I’m going to take a little break from the program for a while!

I still think this program is amazing and y’all should definitely sign up if you are looking to make some blogger friends. Unfortunately for me – life is about to get way crazy and I’m trying to back off the optional responsibilities as much as I can, to make time for the new required responsibilities that are about to jump on my plate!

If you want to see my other packages, here’s September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April and May here.

In case you don’t know what Foodie Pen Pals is, here’s a quick overview:

The Foodie Pen Pals is a pretty simple concept. We all signed up to receive a pen pal and we were supposed to send them a hand-packed package of food, costing only $15. Homemade treats can also be sent! The purpose is to expose fellow bloggers (and readers!) to new foods and all share our love of food! If you want a little more detail, check out founder Lindsay’s post to read the details.

If you want to sign up for the November swap, just email Lindsay at theleangreenbean@gmail.com and include the following information:

-Your full name
-Your email address
-Your blog name/address
-Your twitter handle (if applicable)

She needs your email by July 4th as pairings will be emailed on July 5th!

This month I sent my package to Monica from Mon Makes Things. Check out her blog if you want to see the package I sent her! Her pictures are adorable of the package I sent her!

My package came from Christy at Chocolate Covered Diamonds.

Here’s what she sent me:

Loaded backed potato popcorn & white cheddar jalapeno popcorn

Figs, dates and apricots – mmmmm

Almond crunch snacks – these are really good too!

And some trail mix, but somehow when I uploaded the picture – it only uploaded half of it. Weird, right?

Thank you Christy for the goodies!
