Snail Mail with a Twist

I have always loved writing, choosing nice paper, the feel of the pen moving over paper, adding little doodles around the edges.

Writing letters was one thing that kept me sane during what I have come to refer to as the dark years. That time when my health was at it’s worst, when my friends from school were off at uni or first jobs and I was stuck at home in bed, sleeping my life away.

I realised yesterday that somewhere along the line I got so busy that I forgot all about letters, and how much fun it is to send and receive mail.

Don’t you just L.O.V.E. it when it’s not a bill in the letterbox??

Today, when I was stumbling along, I found this site called letterfu where you can print foldable letter/envelope combo’s that you seal shut with a postage stamp.

They call it “letter~writing without envelopes, cutting or glue”, but I did have to trim the page a bit. I thought I’d give it a try by sending one to my niece down South.

I just hope it doesn’t rain between here and her house, because our printer is an inkjet.
