Hi! My sister and I are have decided to do a pocket letter correspondence over the next year... I haven't seen too much about them before (I know, I must live under a rock, lol) and I thought they were sort of like a crafty stash swap. But it looks like they're kind of a penpal letter in a pocket page protector form? We aren't really setting a theme for them, or anything- so I'm figuring on using the months of the year / seasons as the themes. ?? I'm trying to get ideas for how to put them together, and what to include in them. Non-scrapbooking or crafting things, as well as crafty things.
I do think I'll add crafty items from my stash that she might want to use, and perhaps some handmade crafty items, as well (she's a stamper / cardmaker). I've done a few Pinterest searches, and watched a couple youtube videos, but some of them are so super-uber-mega complicated, it's intimidating! She's also a lapsed scrapbooker and has said she'd like to get back into it with pocket pages, so I had the idea of including purchased or handmade PL-style cards that she could use to make her own pocket SB pages... not sure about that one, though.
Does anyone have bloggers, youtubers, or websites that you'd recommend for a pocket letter beginner?? thanks! 
ETA: my sister is also an elementary school music teacher, so perhaps including music-themed things, or office supplies like post-it notes, etc. AND, we decided one of the conditions is that we can't spend money... (but I already know I'll probably break that rule, lol) I was also trying to figure out how to include cooking-related or recipe-related things... 
(And I'm probably making this lots more complicated than it has to be.)
