Anyway, last Friday, my Grandmamma brought me to a lady's house. Her name is Ms. Ruby. We've known her for a very long time. Her kitchen table is right where you walk in, and first thing I saw was the felt, needles, buttons, and thread we were going to need for making a pillow by hand. Later on, my mom met us at the house and I worked a little more, and Ms. Ruby called a friend, Ms. Bonnie, and we headed to McDonalds. After a well deserved meal, we went back to the house and I worked on the pillow until I was done. Here is the finished project.
Now, I have 3 penpals, Allyson, Sydney (my cousin), and my new friend, Julianna. She is the daughter of Ms. Kimberly, from Brown Bag Studio. I wrote the first letter. Julianna was sick for awhile, so, she couldn't write back. After a while she did. She sent this for me.
It's a pencil. She made it out of a stick. You see, she took a stick from outside-a perfect-sized one, of course,and got all the bark off of it. Then she painted it. Then, her dad drilled a hole all the way through. She took the lead from the pencils that you get that you push the button, and more lead comes, and she put some in. She also sent me replacement lead! Thanks, Julianna! I want to thank ALL of my penpals for writing me. If I haven't written you, I'm sorry. I've been VERY busy.
Blessings!
Love, Joy

Hi Joy!
Your pillow turned out wonderful! I remember having a few pen pals when I was your age. One was from Canada and the other was from Finland. I always looked forward to getting the mail.
Take Care,
Debbie
