The June Release Is Here!!!

And it's better than ever!! 

The new issue of PTM is here and it is full of inspiration!  This issue gives you several articles from our team members, all geared towards summer time! This month you will find an interview from Pauline, who is in charge of a lovely calligraphy project, called the Happy Hands Project. Her work is very inspirational, so be sure to check that out. You can also find several book reviews, with an opportunity to submit your own, a DIY using paint chips to decorate your mail and an opportunity to join the PTM team - check out this post to see if you have what it takes. PTM is also hosting a giveaway, which will be posted on the blog in just a few days, as well as a swap, which will also be posted here, so read up on that and then check the blog for updates. There are still pen pal ads, birthday shout outs and reviews, so if your looking for a pen pal, have someone you want to shout out or if you're interested in some really good snail mail shops, make sure you read all the way to the end! Plus, saving the best for last, we have a freebie this month, created by Fab! Be sure to visit all our team members sites - PTM would not be what it is, without the hard work of all of our members. We all work very hard to make PTM the best! Give us feedback, spread the word and join us on our social networking sites!
