Years ago, I hosted a Valentine's Day letter event and wanted to offer people some suggestions for writing a love letter. But I had two concerns:
1) it had to be easy 2) it was important to emphasize that love letters are not just for lovers So I created a template, an easy fill-in-the-blanks love letter. And people really liked it. This year I wanted to create a new version. Because I've been wanting to experiment with collage, hand-lettering, working off-line, and keeping things loose, this was the project I picked. Below is the finished piece. Be sure to download the fill-in-the-blanks love letter along with a stationery sheet, write a letter, and say something nice to someone you love. Oh, I love mail, and I've had my eye on this gem for a while. It's the Letter Writers Alliance Pigeon Post, and it comes with everything needed to mail it. Yep, you can mail the pigeon (no box necessary)—fits into the blue mail box on the corner. I'm so excited I may send it to myself and then to someone else when it comes back. I'll keep you posted!
January is Creativity Month, and if you remember our post from Monday, this is Letter Writing Week . . . talk about having your cake and eating it too! Mail lovers rejoice.
Getting mail is always fun, and now it’s even better. I discovered this gem at a local craft show this past December and just had to have one. They are designed by the very creative Holly Karolkowski of Art for Small Spaces. Holly's creativity doesn't end there. She's also the creative genius behind Lost Monster Designs . . . take a peek!
