Once again my Foodie Penpal has left me speechless. This month I was the lucky recipient of an awesome Vermont package from Elizabeth.All the items she sent me were made in Vermont which has given me one more reason to visit!!! AND she was able to put this little goody together amidst a snow storm on top of that!!
Thank you Elizabeth :) this was truly a wonderful treat box!!

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.
-Foodie Penplas is open to US, Canadian & European residents. Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. Same with Europeans. We've determined things might get too slow and backed up if we're trying to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and vice versa.
