Sipping and Stamping

Today was ideal weather for coffee-drinking and letter-writing outside, and a handful of envelopes were dropped in the post this afternoon :)  A tip for anyone visiting La Crosse:  Bean Juice has the best dry cappuccino around.  Seriously, check out that foam!

My Letter

I've become sort of obsessed with letter-writing recently because I like the idea of taking 10 minutes out of  your day to write a note and pop it in the post, and changing an entire day for someone else!  How do I know this is true?  Because today I got a letter in the mail :)

My dear friend wrote on the back of a concert poster she got when she was 16, informing me that I should continue collecting stories until we see each other next.  And she also threw in two awesome postcards.  Sigh.  What a great day.

The Letter-Writing Project

 

Before I left for Luzerne, I was digging through an old desk drawer and stumbled across the address book I took there as a student 8 years ago.  It was part of my letter writing box, as we didn't have phone or internet access during the camp, and were only allowed to communicate via snail-mail.  I never used the book much (we just exchanged email addresses and aim names), but I never got rid of it because it had amazing pictures of telephones from all over the world decorating its pages.  Coming across it now, and still thinking it's really cool, I decided to undo the binding, cut out the pictures, and use them as envelope liners.  And the letter-writing project began!  I packed the same letter writing box I used 8 years ago, started making my own envelopes (each one different from the other), and am busy popping them in the mail.  Send me your address!  I would love to share some handwritten stories with you.
