Organizing Snail Mail In A Traveler's Notebook

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?

Tampa Letter Writers Club: Letters of Gratitude

I'm pleased to announce that I'm part of a talented group of women forming the Tampa Letter Writers Club. November 17 will kick off the group's first event: Letters of Gratitude. We will meet at Buddy Brew Coffee in Hyde Park Village from 6pm - 8pm.

Join us and write letters of gratitude and encouragement to either people who have helped you personally or to your local first responders for their service. Materials will be provided. The event is free and open to the public. 

If you can't make this event, don't worry. We have many more planned for 2017. Stay tuned. 

Outgoing: Bewitched Mail

This month's outgoing snail mail intends to enchant recipients. I've used my favorite kraft envelopes, calligraphy, rubber stamps, and coffee stained ephemera to cast a spell. Pen pal goodies have been tucked into a glassine envelope seal with a blood red wax seal. I'm pleased with the overall look. If you are curious about the types of goodies pen pals send to one another, check out the following video I filmed last year for ideas.
