Mail Fun! Ideas, Contests, Resources, etc.

[[deleted user]]

Hi mail devotees! I thought this might be a good place to post any great mail-art related resources or ideas we come across. And thanks to Rift, our extraordinary moderator, I now know of and want to share:
1. The Letter Exchange (for penpal listings)
2. Bound and Lettered (a paper arts/calligraphy journal)
3. The Graceful Envelope Contest http://www.calligraphersguild.org/env... (which I certainly plan on entering!)

Happy Mail Day,
jamie

Great idea, Jamie!!

Here's where to subscribe to
The Letter Exchange
Bound & Lettered

and adding to the list...

4. PostCrossing "if you send a postcard, you will receive at least one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world."

5. Swap-Bot ♥ swap postcards, letters, etc!

Happy Mail Day!!

Cool stuff, you two! (And I will definitely check out the zine thing--I have my first two zines in progress (albeit slowly) so any resources, inspiration, etc. is appreciated.
