I definitely agree Kelli. I have started hand making all the birthday cards to be sent out to our friends and family each year. It’s fun and everyone loves getting homemade stuff.

I love your stamps, and your color choices (as usual).

Have a great day!

I love send cards. I have been buying them in droves at thrift stores of all places! Good thing too because Hallmark has gone pricey! lol

BTW I found this blog in my wandering and thought Africa her story was similar to yours.

I have to agree with you, I have letters my dad wrote to me when I was a teenager as well as wooing correspondence between me and Mr. Knitsonya, definitely grabbing those on the run. Lovely sentiment and beautiful stationary.

That warms my heart to know you appreciate the art of the handwritten letter/note. It’s a dying art, unfortunately.

I love your stationary! I am a big fan of the tangible mail, although I haven’t been a good letter writer of late. I have a box of letters from family and friends that I have been lugging around from apt to apt over the years. It’s on my fire save list too.

I like the idea of making my own stationary, have too too many projects on the front burner right now tho. Actually Kelli, in ref to my garden, its a mess, I need to spend time outside working but its like a tropical jungle right now with all this rain. I don’t want to complain tho. Its tough growing a garden in Phoenix, I’ve lived there, its a challenge.

I think email is the best thing ever but I do miss the big fat letters my best friends and I used to send (complete with stories of our romantic successes and failures, lol). Great quote you have there, too.

There is nothing better than a handwritten letter. I enjoy taking the time to write to my few far away friends a couple times a year. And am always looking for great stationery. Your stationary is so lovely Kelli.

As you know Kelli, I’m a huge fan of getting mail, there is nothing like seeing a hand written letter/card in the post box. When I was a child, I used to make up stories about my life, in letter form, and “mail” them to my mom, with an envelope and everything. My mom has kept them all these years and just the other day sent them to me. what a riot! Thanks for the reminder!

I have many boxes full of letters and postcards collected over the years, and they’re ones of my most beloved treasures! Nice stationery, really well made!

Yay! Can’t wait. I never would have thought that after college we would have become pen pals but I have to say that getting your handwritten letters all the way over here in Rome is always a real treat. There is anyone else who I write snail mail to, although I’d like to start sending out little cards “just because” to more people. I’m glad we’ve developed this tradition. It also gives me a chance to find and enjoy nice stationery to use for the letters.
