Pocket Letter Pals is an emerging fun craft project centering letter pals (pen pals) that you swap with one time or ongoing. Instead of just a letter, everything is put together into a trading card size plastic sleeve page. Each plastic sleeve has 9 pockets per page. To do this project, you fill up at least 1 pocket with a personal note/letter and the other pockets are usually fields with goodies, quotes, ATC cards, etc. You pockets should be personalized to the person receiving it. I have attached a video of the woman who started this trend (Janette Lane). She will explain how it got started and exactly what they are:

I jumped on this run after just learning about it a few days ago. It looks like there will be a lot more swaps out there with this type of format. It is fun because the range of creative opportunities is large.
Here are 2 of the pages I completed:
The designs are directed at some of the things the receiver would like. Behind the decorative fronts, the goodies are such things papers pieces, ATC blanks, clips, a tea bag, post it notes etc. It's fun so check it out your favorite swap site and see if they are giving this a try.
