It happens every year. I sit down with 3 or 4 boxes of newly purchased Christmas cards. A long (long) list of addresses and it’s time to write 60+ Christmas greetings to family and friends and I ponder… …what to write inside a Christmas Card this year… As much as I would love to say [...]
I just came across these Holiday cards that to be honest, I wouldn’t send as my ‘official’ holiday cards. However, I think they will be perfect for sending quick notes during December and I had to have them. Simple, beautiful and timeless….meaning, if I don’t use them all this year, they will certainly work next [...]
I’ve come to rely on a few types of stationery that fall into the ‘old reliable’ category in my stationery arsenal. Everyone needs a stationery that is enjoyable in an all purpose—YET—elegant and respectable sort of way. Meaning, if I want to fire off a quick letter that perhaps isn’t long and drawn out, then [...]
Dearest Shelby And Kaitlyn, There is a way to break life down into simple terms. A measured system of how we move about our days. When we look at every situation, every single thing a person does, it can be broken down to choice. Get out of bed. Choice. Brush your teeth. Choice. Go to work. Choice. [...]
As a prolific writer, I find myself drawn to reading other journals and letters from people of the past. If the book says, Personal Diary or Personal Letters of so and so, I buy it. Virginia Woolf was a prolific writer herself, both as her ‘work’ and on a personal level. It was reading a [...]

Dearest Shelby and Kaitlyn, I have an entire laundry list of words (idea’s) I have written down with the express purpose of writing to you about each one. Somewhere down that line I had written the word Death. It was one of those, not pleasant, but I’ll get to it topics, but since I have [...]
I look at any holiday as a great opportunity to reach out to friends and loved ones through the snail mail system to brighten their day. I believe because Thanksgiving falls right before the Christmas season, it tends to get over looked in the card department. However, the basis of Thanksgiving should definitely be a reason to [...]
It’s that time of the year when I get excited to buy a new planner for the upcoming year. Every new year deserves a fresh clean start and nothing says clean slate like a new planner for the year. A few years ago I discovered the Moleskin version of a yearly planner and I haven’t [...]
It may not be elegant. It may not be expensive. But I’ve found my favorite pen to grab when writing in my journals or penning a letter to a good friend, is a Sharpie. More Specifically: The Sharpie Grip Stick Fine Point Pen. Expensive and elegant pens around the world just groaned and maybe even eye [...]
