One Letter a Week Projcet

After reading a bunch of the "52 Projects" projects, I came up with one of my own. I am tired of being a bad communicator with my friends and family by phone, and even worse by email. So I have devised a plan. I will write one letter every week for a year. One of the beautiful things about this is I have been a collector of addresses since I was a kid, so even if people don't write back, I can still find someone in the old book that has not received a letter.

I am really quite fond of this little endeavor because not only will it let me start keeping in touch with long lost friends and family, but hopefully it will bring a smile to others' faces when they get a letter in the mail instead of a bill. I know I am always quite happy to get a card in the mail. The fact that letter writing is a lost art makes it oh, so much more enjoyable for me. (If you know me I have a keen sense of doing things that others don't, whether I mean to or not.) I have also been reading a lot and seems like letter writing keeps coming up in my books.

I think my idea is quite ingenious and am really quite excited about it! I have already received my first reply. I think the hard part is not going to be to remember to write once a week, but to keep up with anyone who decides to write back. I guess there could be worse problems to have.

Until next time....

  1. Love it! I would also like to receive a little note on a card or paper that has a little Lindsay art on it! I know that might be pushing it - writing at least a letter a week will be a challenge in itself! I wish you well in your endeavor!

  2. Great idea! Now send me your address so I can send you a Save the Date card. :) Your header reminds me of a restaurant in Denver I like that I will take you to next time I see you. It's called Watercourse Foods. Hope you are doing well!

    Love, Josie
