little notes are thoughtful . . .

Whenever I send out a card or letter lately, I like to include little business card-sized notes in the envelope along with it.  It's kind of like including a little gift in with the card--something the recipient can hold onto and use as a bookmark or tape up as a reminder somewhere (I stuck a few strips of washi tape to wax paper and included that with the little notes as well).

The notes were typed out on my typewriter and embellished just a little with a hand-drawn border and a ribbon stamp.

It's fun to add a little something extra to the envelope--and it's always nice to have encouraging reminders, I think! 

Have you sent any cards or letters lately?  If you are up for a challenge (I know prolific mailers out there who would not consider this a challenge, but . . . ), the 52 Weeks of Mail group on Facebook has started up again with another 52 weeks.  I tried to follow along for the last 52 but fell off the wagon sometime this summer.  There is nothing magical about sending a piece of mail once a week, but I think that's a very reasonable/doable goal.  I hope to send more than that!

What about you?  How often do you snail mail?  Does once a week sound like something you could attempt?  If you're looking for someone to write, my mailbox is always open!  :)
