The end of Universal Letter Writing Week
{Day 7 of Universal Letter Writing Week 2011}
Sadly, it’s the last day of Universal Letter Writing Week. But that doesn’t mean we have to stop writing letters! It’s been so much fun reading about all the letters y’all have written this week, writing letters of my own, and hearing how you’ve been inspired to send more handwritten notes. Since there seems to be a lot of interest in this, I’ll definitely be posting more on the topic of letter writing. Maybe once a month or so.
If you’re really hungry for more ideas on letter writing, links to neat websites and articles from stamps to postcards to the Pony Express, 365 Letters is a great website to bookmark. Carla started this blog to document her progress as she wrote a letter a day for an entire year. Now she updates her site with letter writing prompts, quotes, articles on letters, links to other websites, etc. You definitely should pay her a visit!
Thank you for coming by this week. Remember to enter the giveaway for a $10 Amazon gift card before you leave. The contest ends at midnight (EST) on January 15th.








A related topic that you might address, no pun intended, is handwritten thank you notes. In my experience, they’ve become pretty rare except for event gifting (weddings, bridal showers, and baby showers). A post on ways to make letter or thank you note writing fun for kids would be cool. I’m hoping to teach my daughter by example. I saw this post recently that I thought was an interesting idea for thank you cards “written” by younger kids
