Snail mail is FUN!!! :D

Write a letter. Snail mail is fun! I love creating notecards from my original art. It's a wonderful way to share my work while giving the gift of a handwritten letter. I fully employ and enjoy many means of social networking but they should not always take the place of the unique gift of a handwritten correspondence. Here are a few thoughts on letter writing.

...of all the ways we express ourselves nonverbally, none is quite so personal as our handwriting-so personal and important that our signatures are legally protected as a mark of identity. Unlike other ways we use to express our individuality, we have sole ownership of our handwriting. It is a personal possession that no other person is allowed to use or imitate...Just as art expresses the intent of the artist, so does handwriting. ~Betty Edwards~

Letter writing is an excellent way of slowing down this lunatic helterskelter universe long enough to gather one’s thoughts. ~Nick Bantock~

Letters are among the most significant memorial a person can leave behind them. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe~

A letter is a blessing, a great and all-too-rare privilege that can turn a private moment into an exalted experience. ~Alexandra Stoddard~

The word that is heard perishes, but the letter that is written remains. ~Proverbs~

Sir, more than kisses, letters mingle souls; for, thus friends absent speak. ~John Donne~

A letter is a blessing, a great and all-too-rare privilege that can turn a private moment into an exalted experience. ~Alexandra Stoddard~

A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend. ~Emily Dickinson~

A Letter is a Joy of Earth -
It is denied the Gods. ~Emily Dickinson~


Send some love, share some art, write a letter!

Many Smiles!
Happy Creating!!
CARPÉ DIEM!!!
