rediscovering a lost art

There are certain blogs  I love to read ( there is a list at the bottowm) and one of them inspired me to sit down and write to people – To send out cards “just because” - I loved this idea.  I immediately started thinking about who I should send cards to and my list just kept growing.
I used to write all the time to a few of aunts, some friends and I even had Pen Pals – one in Sweden and one in Japan! It was so much fun writing and I loved when I got a letter back. Now with Facebook,e-mail, twitter, letter writing is something I rarely do anymore. I think it is sad that my kids won’t know the joy of sending a special note and getting one back. I was so glad  Payton wanted to help me with my cards. She colored most of them and I wrote a note. She also worked on coloring envelopes for her great grandmas so we can send them each a picture she colored. She loves getting mail and always asks me where her mail is ,so I think it is good for her to send some  mail to her great grandmas.


Payton working hard. Yesterday we mailed seven cards and hope they make people smile! I challenge you to write to a friend , relative or someone how has touched your life and just let them know you were thinking of them. It doesn’t take that long and it can make them feel special.

Logan wanted to help too.

So watch your mailboxes, you never know when a special card or a package may appear to brighten your day!
