New Year

I thought I would give this blog a fresh coat of color for the new year. I hope it is to your liking.

For those of you who don't already know how wonderful it is to receive a hand written note, postcard, or letter in your mailbox, trust me, it makes your day!!! I've been a pen pal for many years and I can't tell you the number of times I have come home after a trying day to find a note that made me smile and forget my troubles.

Here I will highlight a few blogs that honor the letter;

52 Weeks 52 Letters Katy documents her plans to write a letter a week in 2011.

Letters & Journals is the name of a magazine Jackie Flaherty is hoping to get off the ground in 2011/2012. She has done her homework and I just know it will be a beautiful end product for those of us who love the written word.

The Missive Maven documents her incoming and outgoing pen pal mail that is inspressive it is sheer number and amazing creativity.

The Letter Exchange or LEX for those in the know, is a wonderful place to find pen pals. Such a great bunch of creative people! Not forgetting to mention Gary and Lonna who put each edition of LEX together and keep those letters flowing thanks to all their hard work.

Hope the above has inspired you to find pen, paper, and stamp , to make someones day.
