InCoWriMo - Better Late Than Never

February 14, 2017 by Tammy Wright in Letter Writing

I'm all set for InCoWriMo, but I'm starting a little late. Other obligations and responsibilities required my attention the first half of the month. But, I'm determined to catch up the last two weeks of February. If you would like to follow along, I'll be giving updates on my Instagram.

To make things easier, I've organized my desk and supplies. Here's a quick video with more details and supplies. Happy Letter Writing!

Organizing Snail Mail In A Traveler's Notebook

November 15, 2016 by Tammy Wright in Journaling, Letter Writing

The holidays are just around the corner and it's time for me to start thinking about the new year. I want to revamp several things including how I keep track of all my letter writing activities. 2016 has been most rewarding and I am so grateful for all the opportunities I've had to meet other snail mail enthusiasts.

My original system for keeping up with incoming and outgoing mail failed me a bit and I've attempted to correct the issue moving forward. A traveler's notebook dedicated to just my letter writing activities has been assembled. The video below has all the details. What type of system do you use for keeping track of mail?

Upcoming Mail Art Workshop - Lakeland, FL

October 28, 2016 by Tammy Wright in Letter Writing

Calling all central Florida letter writers. I've teamed up with the Lakeland Public Library again this Fall for a two hour Mail Art Workshop on Saturday, November 5. The event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. You can register online here. 

In this workshop we'll learn how to fold an origami envelope and get creative with glassine. As always, our analog table will be set up with washi tapes, rubber stamps, and all the ephemera a library can offer. This includes old book pages, maps, magazines, etc. If you are in the area, please come join us and make mail.
