That is really creepy and sad. No penmanship classes anymore. :( <br /><br />I'm sooo glad you have your mom's letters, tho! What a shame to think that maybe in another generation or two there might not be such mementos anymore. I'm part of generations who will be going extinct!!Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-86141047713516512772011-05-23T15:15:45.353-05:002011-05-23T15:15:45.353-05:00How cool!! I've never heard of circle letter!...How cool!! I've never heard of circle letter! <br /><br />You're right - a hand written letter is becoming a thing of the past. They don't even teach children how to write in cursive anymore - can you believe it! Some of my most cherished possessions are handwritten cards and letters from my Mom.Donna @ The House on the Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11996281285406090119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-78932360959147849172011-05-22T21:54:54.942-05:002011-05-22T21:54:54.942-05:00Carol--I know.

I am okay with the fact that most of the people I handwrite to answer me via email, but I sure do get excited to get my very own snail mail. ;)<br /><br />AliceKay--Not sure--hehe! Karma just tucked herself behind the piece of cardboard for an hour or so. She seems to kind of "acknowledge" odd new things or new placements of anything in the house when she doesn't know what else to do with them--hehe!<br />I've seen envelopes made from old maps, grocery bags, cereal boxes...you'd be surprised! I'm sure the mailmen are surprised--hehe! ;)<br />Thanks@handwriting. *blush* :)<br /><br />Terah--Sounds like you write letters even more than I do! I have weeks I don't write any, but then I often have 2-4 bookcards/letters going at the same time (I write in segments) so maybe it might average out to 1-2 a week, I suppose. Everything in my life seems to happen in clusters anymore. My good days clusters of activity--LOL!! ;)<br /><br />Serena--Whoohoo! I look forward to a handwritten letter from you, Lady! Thanks on the bookcards. :)<br />I was confused, too. Everyone took the letters and put them all in one envelope. And, as you can see, it was just a business size envelope. So I didn't want to write more than my one page. I hope by the time it comes around again it at least becomes a bigger, fatter envelope--hehe! <br /> I guess you really don't "need" an envelope for your letter if it is only one page and going inside another envelope, but I hope they get longer. Maybe I'll have to buy airmail paper and staple the pages together if they're worried about weight and postage--ROFL! ;)<br /><br />Lynn--My trouble is that I have written all over my old wall calendars--hehe! They wouldn't look very pretty inside. But I supposed I could coat them with some gesso on that side. You can use white sticky labels or glue on a piece of paper to write the addresses on the fronts if the print is everywhere. I haven't done this for years and she inspired me. :)<br />From what I hear, you could have painted it! I can see why you loved it! :)<br /><br />Tori--I haven't looked at stationery for decades, to be honest. Whoohoo! Even just for ideas it will be fun! :)<br /><br />Iggy--I know I find I like peaceful down time to write and hear the muse. Maybe you could check out this site on youtube: 10minutes2relax <br />One of the ways I can get a nature escape being housebound--LOL! I should post one of their videos in my blog sometime. Ahhh!<br /><br />Barb--Yes, Karma is very easily amused and intrigued by anything new and even just moving things around to new places--LOL! Well, our world is pretty small up here--hehe! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-47954420654334157122011-05-22T18:00:53.740-05:002011-05-22T18:00:53.740-05:00The Circle Letter thing sounds fun.

I like how that lady made her envelope I might have to try that lol What a wonderful way to use up an old calendar!

Me thinks I owe you one actually. Btw, I would definitely classify your bookcards as beautiful stationery. <br /><br />I'm a little confused about the 5 letters inside one envelope?? I guess I don't understand how the circle letter thingy works.<br /><br />Sorry to hear Blogger played up for you. To date, I've been lucky but I'm sure my turn with Blogger glitches will come soon enough.<br /><br />We've had rain here the past couple of days...a little sunshine today but more rain is predicted. <br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your weekend,<br /><br />Love,<br />Serena xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-76882495276142169742011-05-21T22:46:03.323-05:002011-05-21T22:46:03.323-05:00Karma is so photogenic.

Stationary and cards are a weakness of mine. But like you I will use good ol legal paper. I still have a couple pen pals. One is my aunt in Santa Fe. She writes such a beautiful letter. Xox.

That lady from Texas did a great job making en envelope from a calendar page. (i never would have thought of that) Look at all of the different kinds of stationery in your letter collection. And yes, the stationery with the lace looks delicate and amazing. Beautiful.<br /><br />Your stationery is very nice, too, and with your beautiful handwriting to go along with it, your recipients will have something nice to hold onto and read as well.<br /><br />I'm glad you had a nice day today. We have had seven straight days of rain at one time or another. Karen and I got in a downpour driving to Sayre this afternoon. It didn't last long, but it sure came down heavy.<br /><br />I'm about to set up a post to be published tomorrow morning. I hope Blogger cooperates with me on this one because there's a special reason for it.AliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-71716634903467016982011-05-21T19:55:52.917-05:002011-05-21T19:55:52.917-05:00Circle letters sound like a cool way to get some a...Circle letters sound like a cool way to get some actual snail mail!
