It's my pleasure, Julie. ^-^ I love your blog and work, by the way!
As for me, I used to write letters all the times when I was a teenager. I had penpals from Germany, Sweden & the united states. It was before the internet kicked in! I remember getting my first email from my writing penpal and how it just wasn't the same. :-(
Since I didn' have access to a lot of beautiful stationary when I was a teenager, I would draw on regular business sizes envelopes and personalize them. I remember the post office lady would -love- my letters and she encouraged me in doing more of them. :-)
Oh, and I also drew my own stationary and copied them with a black and white photocopy machine.
I'm still best friend with a penpal I used to have! We just recently started writing letters to each others, again. :-) And we're wondering why we ever stopped in the first place!
I must admit that, during the 2000's era, I didn't write much mail, unfortunately. It's because of groups like the Letter Writer Alliance and hearing about people writing letters again that I started doing it again. :) I realized how much I missed it!
I'm glad you're all joining this group. It's about time we have a team about this on Etsy. ^-^
