Just a Little Bit More

When I was younger, I used to write letters to my friends. Long letters with lots of ephemera in it. As I got older and friends didn't answer, I stopped writing. I have realised that I missed it so much. I am trying to get back into it again. While I love how technology helps us communicate, I love snail mail and truly believe that there is a special kind of joy in receiving mail.

Animal Images I Like

Comment: Hi Jo-Anne. I'm truly sorry that I have to rate you a 1, but I have not received anything from you. I know we spoke and you said you did mail it out and Canada post has cut back workers so it might just be taking a long time. I do hope I get it, though! It was a really challenging and time-consuming swap for me personally, so I was looking forward to getting one myself. I hope it shows soon! I will definitely re-rate if/when I get it. Best wishes. Update 11/24. JoAnne! I got your swap today and was SO SO happy! I had believed that you sent it out....I just can't believe Canada post took almost a month...that's crazy! Anyways, it was absolutely gorgeous and you completely blew my mind with your creativity. I loved how it was put together and I loved the little goodies you added inside the flap. I have to say though, that I am glad you numbered the pages because they were really out of order...1 then 9 then 6, 8, 5, 3, 4 LOL....but I REALLY enjoyed reading it. Thank you so much for telling me some things about yourself. You seem like a wonderful woman and I WILL be writing you back. Extra hearts and hugs to you! XO AHHH I forgot to change the number...Sorry lol!
