Do you write letters?

Talk about anything under the sun or stars - but keep it civil. This is where we really get to know each other. Everyone is welcome, and invited!

Well, do you?

Yes, I love writing them and getting them!

Just so you know, I took a picture of the envelope to cherish forever.

That is really touching; thank you. I always wonder if I'm taking the decorating a little too seriously, so that is happy-making. Nothing quite like something you make, no matter how small it is, being appreciated by others. :)

The card you sent to me is still on display on my counter. I really don't want to ever take it down. But I will keep it forever.

Really, I think you all should strive to have your latest addresses on file with me at all times, so I can randomly send stuff; it's too hard chasing after all of you, especially given your collective flightiness. ;)

One of the envelopes you sent me a couple years ago is still stuck in my "important paper memories" file folder. :)

Who wants a postcard? I'm in a postcard-sending mood. First... 5 people to post here get a postcard. And I will draw one unlucky person from that group to get a letter.

...and I'm thinking the postcards will be handmade this time.

Put me in, Coach!

If I get one of anything and you give me a return address, I will send moderately fun mail stuff back!

I have not moved since...ever, really. Same place.


Steph, I do believe I owe you some mail. Surprisingly, despite being in your house for 5ish days, I do not know where you live, exactly. PM me your address?

I won the letter! Thanks, Jan! It's so awesome to get mail and was very fun to read, and the "Newfoundland zoo" made me laugh. (Also, Canadian stamp = way cool.)

Tell Ginny thank you very, very much for the picture. It looks like a baby to me! Little Bit's first non-sonogram portrait :stoned: (Possibly in a Green Lantern mask or somesuch. That was Donny's first guess when I showed him the picture before I'd read the letter. He knows Ginny as "the little girl in Newfoundland with the Green Lantern costume.")

For everyone else's enjoyment:

Many thanks again!

Yay! I'm glad people are getting their letters. They sat for so long by the door before I finally mailed them. I also used my international stamps, then found my USA stamps this week.

I received a very beautiful hand-stitched card from the lovely Jan. :)

I'm glad that made it there. I always get paranoid the envelope will open and the letter will go missing or the entire thing will simply never show up at all.

Steph, you're next. :)
