I wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog, and I am really enjoying your month of letters and postcards. It's a great experiment, and it looks like you are getting some wonderful art and postage stamps in the process. I'm off to read what I have missed.

I linked to some places that would appreciate letters or postcards. I like the way some schools have had after-school events to encourage writing kids with illnesses. Carol suggested arranging something for nursing homes. I'm surprised by how many people have written their favorite authors and gotten return mail. That might be a good project for your classes--even is they didn't mail them! jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-45408334393200003812016-02-25T07:01:49.927-06:002016-02-25T07:01:49.927-06:00:) It is exciting!

You are so right, most of what comes in the mail, goes right in the trash--so finding a genuinely personal item is a pleasure!.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-37406692372561421202016-02-24T20:09:23.634-06:002016-02-24T20:09:23.634-06:00What fun you're all having.

Talk about anticipation! These cards are so pretty and personable. I love your art work. I have a friend who teaches art at our school. I've told her about your work and mail, so we're trying to work out a way to use the idea in her art classes. (Too bad Common Core doesn't leave room for fun in the English classroom.) I will try to get photos if we manage to pull something together.Mary Marcottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569619947909529203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-11279241545889875802016-02-24T16:02:30.001-06:002016-02-24T16:02:30.001-06:00This is so good!

We don't really have that sense of anticipation with the mail any longer which is kind of sad. I guess as book bloggers we still get excited when we receive our lovely parcels but mostly the post is all junk and unwanted items these days.<br />Well done you.<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-48396926489145129292016-02-22T18:28:53.076-06:002016-02-22T18:28:53.076-06:00:-) :-) Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13828728.post-28120675112898168342016-02-22T16:21:48.366-06:002016-02-22T16:21:48.366-06:00Just checkin' in, Debra!
