I think the art of letter writing is a fading star. It makes me a little sad but I'm as guilty of a quick email as anyone. Sad huh? I had a thought today about "Thank You" notes. You know just having a bunch of blank Thank You notes around always inspires me more to sit down and write that note that I normally wouldn't or would send in an email.
What about a card swap? Like a bookmark swap we did a few months ago but instead of making bookmarks make just small thank you cards. You could use cardstock to make the card, you can buy plan cards at hobby stores or some other creative way. Decorate, stamp, paint, draw, decoupage, glue, glitter, sticker, pressed flower, and so on and forever the possibilities go.
So, anyone up for it? I'll host it. Same run down as we did with the bookmarks.
Sign up. Ill give it a couple of weeks. In that time start brainstorming. Then Ill set a send off date. You send off your cards (I'm thinking 10 or 12?) along with a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE) to me. Ill gather them all up, divy them out to everyone that participated and everyone will be sent back a stack of original cards.
Are you in?
We need atleast 10 to make it a go. If we get more that's great too. Sign up here and if in a week or so we have that many we will go forward.
(so if all goes it would mean about the second or third week in june you would send out your cards)

Khim | 6 comments Nice idea, I really like postcards and letters, but I live in Holland, so I don't hope this will be a problem?

Cindy (cyndil62) | 1774 comments Khim, I don't even know how much it would cost to mail things to Holland from the US. I for one wouldn't have a problem with it but will have to hear from Tera.
