Started writing to prisoners a few months ago! Unfortunately most facilities don't allow colored paper or glitter ink, stickers and all that nice stuff. So white paper and blue ink it is! Nevertheless it's a very rewarding experience and I enjoy it a lot. :)

I have been crafting my own envelopes out of pictures printed out on cardstock for my 4-year old niece. The one I just sent out had a family of golden lion tamarins, and the letter had fun facts about them and plenty of pictures. I also sent her some coloring pages. Her parents have been having a great time reading the letters to her, and she has been really excited to check the mailbox. I think I definitely in the running for best aunt, at least in her book.

Yep. I remember school lessons (and lessons from Mom) on how to compose and write letters; yes, there is an art to them. I frequently disagreed with Mom on how often they should be sent ;-) but, in the hindsight of several decades, I reckon she was right.

I used to have pen pals all around the world when I was a teenager, there was this organization that would set you up with someone interested in having a friend in your country and it was so much fun... it was so exciting to get from school and find an envelope on my desk, I really miss those days. I specially miss one of those pals, our friendship lasted for 20 years, we started asking about school and the last conversations were about her babies and my job. Wish I could get in touch with her again...

JetPens - these two things are completely off subject, but I found them interesting and comment/compliment worthy: 1. The progress bar at the bottom of your video is now segmented to show the different subjects in your videos. I haven't seen that (noticed it anyway) in any other videos. Helpful AND Nice!! 2. I really like that small candle holder in the wax seal segment. You guys have some nice stuff! Well done! JetDo continues to improve your (already great) content. :)

It amuses me that the current generation needs to be introduced to the concept of snail mail letters, but I think your video is well done. Since getting interested in fountain pens, I’ve experienced a renewed interest in snail mail and will be checking out your stationery offerings. Always thought that as a lefty fountain pens weren’t an option, but I’m glad to discover I was wrong! I just need to be a little more careful than my right handed brethren.

Love the expression in the envelopes and making them personable! But... the address should always be written in clear, legible font. Otherwise the postal worker may struggle reading your hand writing and won't be able to deliver the mail (or return it!). My parents taught me to write the address in capital letters with a printed styling so each character is distinct.

@user-ei8rb7sj6c 7 ай бұрын

I’ve seen books to record what books I’ve read, who I’ve entertained, travel notes, etc. What I’d love to have is a book to keep track of letters I’ve sent. Ideally it would have a pretty faux leather cover with “Correspondence Tracker” written in elegant cursive on front. It would lay flat when open for easy access. The pages would be ruled with column headings that say, Date Sent, To, and Description. There could be an address section in back for friends & family I write to often. As a bonus, it would have a card showing examples of pretty penmanship tucked inside a front flap for easy reference, and some type of pen holder for an average size ball point pen. It might even have an elastic closer. Do you know if any such book exists? If so, will you please add a link to it in your description box? Thanks ever so!

Writing letters is also a great way to express yourself to your elected officials! It's a great time to write cute letters to our city councilmembers asking them to defund the police, reduce the prison/jail population, or whatever issues are important to you. It's more fun than sending emails or making calls (though those are good too).
