A Month of Letters

So, I have been lacking on the snail mail front this year. I don't know what it is. I guess I just haven't sat down and spent the time sending out mail, though I love it so much. 

My friend Luna introduced me to the "A Month of Letters" Challenge. For the whole month of February, the challenge is to send a letter on each day. That is a total of 24 letters, postcards, greeting cards, etc. through the US Postal Service to recipients.

Earlier this week, I joined Postable. This website allows you to compile an online database of addresses. I put it on my Facebook and Tumblr accounts and asked for addresses. Though I only have gotten a few people, I have addresses for people all around the world (which is exciting) that I can send mail to next month. I can only hope that they write back and I get to know them :)

So, if you want to join me, here is the link to the website where you can learn more and make an account! http://lettermo.com/

And if you want me to send you a letter, PLEASE leave you address on my Postable.  I'll make sure to send you something (I have vowed that if I get over 24 addresses, I will send more than 24 letters!)

Happy writing!

Another New Project...but Blog related!

So I have been recently sending and receiving a lot of mail. Thanks to swap-bot and sendsomething.net, I have not had a lonely mailbox as I used to have. And its nice meeting people through the art of letter writing.


I just got a nice card from my aunt Jane where she said," Letter writing is one of the last arts out there still that hasn't changed, but it is losing it's popularity."


I agree with her. I love getting mail! And it makes my day when I get a random postcard or note from someone new or old!


So I decided to do a Week in Amelia's Mailbox every week. I'm going to try to do it every Sunday (as my schedule can get crazy, we'll see!) But this way I can show the beautiful cards, letters and objects I get from all over the world! And I'll also be showing what I am sending out for the week!


And if you want me to send you something, just send me your address and something will be on your way very soon!


Have a great week all!
Amelia
