All this typing has done a number on my once excellent penmanship.
So in an attempt to bring back the days when we actually had to remember to dot our "i"s and cross our "t"s instead of leaving it to our trusty iBooks, allow me to make a plea for the art of letter writing...
And to get you started, how about some of the world's cutest stationary,
like this little number found here.
or perhaps girls with wings for arms found here are more your thing (if I had a penny for every time I've said that):
Not sure what to write? No worries. Just fill out this SOF-fashioned MAD LIB, write it down in a card, pop on a stamp (those are the little square things that you put on envelopes) and pop it in a mailbox (those are those big blue things on certain street corners.)
Dear (Name)-
Remember when we met at that (event). It was so (adjective) and (adjective) that I just had to (verb) to you.
I really like you because you are (adjective), because you wear really (adjective) (plural noun) and because you like the SOF just like I do. I hope that you have a really (adjective) day and eat lots of cupcakes.
Love,
(name)
P.S. The SOF says hi and wishes you would write.

i'm leaving this comment because i've been away in mountainland and was appalled to realize that i haven't paid a visit to the SOF in weeks! but i assure you that i've been invoking the spirit ten-fold. put it this way... canoeing, thrift stores, and edible art for meals.
amen, spirit.
oooh. we want pictures, tam. So SOF from coast to coast.
jestodd, this generation's answer to ms. manners.
ooh i was just commenting about this. though we've known each other for years, i don't think i would be able to pick vikram's handwriting out - cause we've never once written anything to each other. (possibly a bit dramatic but mostly true.) nicole, i don't even know what your handwriting looks like and we're moving in together. we're pratically strangers!
Prepare to be impressed, Maya. While Nicole is an avid type, type, typer, her computer behavior has done nothing to the integrity of her hand writing. She's been a snail mail foot soldier for years now.
keeping the written word alive, one lovely postcard at a time.
