&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m Karen, married to Stephen&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;we home educate&amp;nbsp;our 2 children, Niamh, 6, and Patrick, 4 and we&amp;#39;re in beautiful historic Lincoln in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Niamh actually came up with the idea of writing to other children all over the world because she&amp;#39;s feeling all grown up about setting up her very own e-mail address! LOL&amp;nbsp; And I think it&amp;#39;s a great idea too, it&amp;#39;s been many years since I&amp;#39;ve had a pen pal and it would be nice to have one again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;re an outdoor kind of family, we love nature, hiking, camping&amp;nbsp;and all that! Reading and art are the big things in the Brennan household at the moment, and then&amp;nbsp;there&amp;#39;s also&amp;nbsp;sports,&amp;nbsp;the whole family pretty much loves almost every sport there is!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Niamh&amp;#39;s also&amp;nbsp;really into all things environmental and saving the planet, rainforests, oceans... the list is endless really!!!! LOL&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; She&amp;#39;s also just started attending a pottery class, something else she&amp;#39;s very excited about and chatters non stop about it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for me, apart from the outdoor things, I love cooking, especially baking,&amp;nbsp;sewing, knitting, I&amp;#39;m always trying new homely crafts, I just like to &amp;#39;have a go&amp;#39; at most things! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of my main passions is reading, I will read practically anything! And I love art, I&amp;#39;m a trained illustrator and studied art history, though the children keep me so busy I don&amp;#39;t get that much time to indulge in &amp;#39;grown up&amp;#39; art.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, that&amp;#39; us!&amp;nbsp; : D&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#39;s hoping to hear from some of you soon!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the best&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining in a project we have undertaken as a homeschooling family to learn about different parts of the world and the people who live in it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My idea is to have an exchange envelope. This involves each participant, school, family or group to fill a large envelope with paper based items that reflect their coutry and culture. I have devised a list of items that you would put into the envelope to send to me and I would then send the same to you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By making the project an exchange envelope full of paper based items I hope to be able to keep the cost down for those who wish to particpate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please send your email of interest to kereng@epals.com and I will happily send you a list of items that would need to be put into each envelope. Most things should be very cheap and cost effective.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because this is an exchange envelope it can occur at any time of year, so regardless of the date, if you are passing by and wish to be involved please email me and I shall get back to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#39;s hoping that we can get a number of people from a variety of places around the globe to help make our geography class more interesting! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keren&lt;/p&gt;

She is just starting to write and we recently started postcard collecting and writing. I would like to continue this through her education, so we are looking for others to trade cards back and forth with. One time or many, up to you. Currently we have Virginia History related postcards to send out to anyone who will send her one. Hope to gain many friends from around the world and learn about each other. Thank you for your time.&lt;/p&gt;
