Me too – I love my diary and I would never change it to an electronic piece. I had a try (10 years ago with a palm) and it was not-for-me!
And I love cards as well.

I have already told my local friends that when I leave for college in the fall they should be expecting letters from me! I also love it when someone sends me mail. I have a whole box full of letters that people have sent me since I was about 9 years old. I have pasted some of them into an inspiration/memory journal so I will have easy access to them.
It’s cool that you wrote about this because I’ve been trying to work on making some stationary recently so I can send letters to people.
Happy writing!

Your stationery is beautiful – I love the Frida portraits. You have inspired me to print some address labels so I will have no excuses for at least sending a few postcards while I’m on vacation!

I limit my handwriting in birthdays, Christmas, Easter and wedding cards, but me too, I’m the proud owner of a messy address book and an even more messy agenda!

It is a lost art, isn’t it? Email has a lot of advantages and I think it helps people stay in touch since it’s so instant gratification. But it is always fun to receive a thoughtful note or letter–just like it’s nice to have something you can touch and feel. Your cards look lovely. I like to make handmade cards and postcards, too–I just wish I did it more.

Snail mail is the best! I love sending cards/notes and also receiving them among the stack of bills or junk mail in my mailbox. (Oh, love letters! I checked out that book about love letters I was telling you about. I can loan it to you too if you want.)

I too love handwritten notes and love going to my mailbox and being surprised by them. When I was going through my tumultuous time last year when I lived in TX, I remember finding a sweet surprise letter on handmade stamped stationery from you Kelli with words that filled my soul and touched my heart. That is such a wonderful gift, and I am glad you love to share that with your friends and family. I update my calendar each January so that at a quick glance I can see who is celebrating birthdays, anniversaries and weddings, but I also have a Palm Pilot where ALL of my addresses and contact information lives, along with the birthday info yet again. And THEN I have my work Palm Treo that has all of my work contacts in them. I miss the paper and pen address books and day planners and enjoyed hearing how you too paper clip stuff to them, add notes and doodles, etc. Great post!

I used to be a big journaler….loved everything handwritten. It started when I broke my leg and wound up in the hospital. I started chronically every detail of every day. I love the tiny little handwritten notes and the record of my life that it created. Not to mention the number of fights it helped me win! I can totally relate to your new year ritual of updating. that was my FAVORITE way to spend NYE…a fresh journal, predated of course, I would go through and decorate pages for birthdays and special event…stickers, stencils, stamps, it was a very soothing ritual. I’ve lost this ritual now that i have my son, but hope to find the time to do it again. Thanks for reminding me of it!

I love, love handwritten notes/letters. I really thought I was in the minority on that but I guess not. My friend gave me a box filled with cards, stationary and post it notes for Christmas and I was tickled pink. I love all your handmade stationary. So cute!!

Oh yes, something to hold in my hand, to read again and again, I love it. Love those strawberries, too.

Such a great post. I agree with you that something handwritten and personal in the mail is so special. And it works both ways : it is a special process for the person who sends it, and most definitely a delightful thing for the person on the receiving hand.
Have a beautiful day !
