Christmas Thank You Cards are a perfect way to follow up with someone after Christmas for many reasons. You received a gift from someone Someone did something nice for you or your family You want to show appreciation to someone for any reason you feel good about Someone baked you holiday cookies…or even gave you [...]
Christmas Cards are typically a brief greeting that one sends out to family and friends and I recently wrote about simple messages that can go into a Christmas card here. Writing a yearly Christmas letter that goes along with your Christmas cards can be a fantastic enhancement to your efforts. A Christmas Letter is something that you [...]
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 [...]
As much as I enjoy writing letters and sending them outbound on the back of the slow snail, I equally enjoy reading letters, collecting letters and studying the art of other peoples written expression. Vincent Van Gogh and his collection of letters is right up my alley. In a voyeuristic tone, we can all enjoy [...]
Philately: The collection and study of postage stamps and other postal materials. Of all the things I could fall under, I don’t believe philately is one of them, however, I do love stamps.

What I also love about Etsy is the chance to run across something that isn’t necessary meant for one thing, but [...]
The first penpal I ever had was a colossal disappointment. I don’t know how old I was when I first desired a ‘penpal’ but I know I was a youngster. Since my Mother had forbidden me from writing the State Inmates who advertised in the classified ads, I was desperate to write someone…anyone…So when my teacher announced to the class that we [...]
I read once that the written word is the most precious of all relics…I tend to agree. Writing has the potential to be a lasting sentimental treasure you gift your future generations. A true relic of ones past. I’m a bit of a sentimental fool (ok, overly sentimental) so I cherish each little letter, note, card or written [...]
There is nothing stationary about stationery. We purchase it with care and intention. We place our words and thoughts upon it’s black space and then lovingly seal it up and send it away for others to enjoy. In my opinion, that is movement with profound impact.
