When I was in college and after graduating I was awesome at sending cards and letters. I loved doing it so I was constantly mailing things out. Josh used to joke that I kept Hallmark in business. Then I had Jasper…and I didn’t have as much free time. I slowly got out of the habit of sending cards and notes to my friends. I recently got the book The Art of the Handwritten Note by Margaret Shepherd. It has totally inspired me to get back into note sending.
I sorted through my box of note cards and stationary. I’m definitely in need of some new stuff. I think I’m kind of picky what I write on though. I much prefer the paper to be a textured or linen paper. Cheap thin stationary is just not for me. And letterpress…oh, how I love letterpress. My dream is to have my own letterpress machine someday.
I think once I get back into the habit of sending my friends mail I will keep it up. There is just something so great about getting non-junk mail. I know I appreciate so I think others will too.
Um, I have a letterpress kit for sale… If you are interested… I have 3 additional plate sets and some ink, wipes, etc… Let me know! I have only used it twice. I love it, but I gotta stick with one craft – scrapping!
I put it on Craigslist a while back, but it didn’t sell. I don’t think people know how cool it is!
I agree, I love sending snail mail and receiving it as well!
Great idea. I have been thinking about doing this too! Maybe we should be pen pals?
And I heart letterpress. SO much.
