Mailbox Surprises

With the advances in modern technology, folks pretty much communicate these days with electronic devices...either via phone or computer.

Rarely does anyone actually hold pen in hand and write letter or note on a card to anyone.

Fortunately, rarely does not mean never. I happen to be one of those rare folks who actually enjoys crafting handwritten notes and letters to be sent as a way to let others know that I am simply thinking about them.

My hope with each card and letter mailed is that it puts a smile on the face of the recipient.

Not sure how many folks still get bills in the mail (most have gone paperless), but if they are anything like me, most of what actually comes through the mailbox is JUNK. So to unexpectedly receive something handwritten from a friend or family member is truly a "mailbox surprise."

As a result of my joy in handwriting cards and letters, I love stationery...especially BLANK cards with pretty designs on the outside. I currently have 3 boxes of blank cards with varying butterfly designs on each. So pretty! And a few months ago a friend gave me a box with the ones that are pictured here with my initial surrounded by a lovely floral design. Someone had given the box to her and she knew exactly who she would in turn give it to. I love it, and have mailed a few from this particular set.

So...there you have it.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: When was the last time you received or sent a handwritten card or letter in the mail? If you send me your address I'll drop one in the mail to you. Really...I will.

Talk to me!

Til next time...
