I am a 32 yr old stay at home mother of two (Luke is 4 and Henry is 4 months) and I love writing letters and more importantly receiving letters. I have a few penpals and also write to family and friends. I have even been known to write to strangers. I am hoping if circumstances permit to jot you a bit of a letter - my husband got made redundant this week so I kinda have some things going on but once it settles down I will write.

Other than that, I have sent care-packages (with letters) to my sister who has had interesting jobs in various places, and also enjoys travelling. I have one good friend with whom I have maintained a letter correspondence over the past 5 years since I moved away / back to my home-town. Your blog is inspiring me to write more, the trick is finding the time. I have written lots of thank-you cards in the past few months, but hope to start writing letters again soon.<br /><br />Take care,<br />CĂ©lineCelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359728560243370040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-56458663972298927142010-09-15T19:17:40.715-04:002010-09-15T19:17:40.715-04:00I wrote a letter to a soldier after you posted abo...I wrote a letter to a soldier after you posted about it and I received a response about a month ago. it was really neat and I have written back and forth with the soldier.

I have your letter, and need to eke out some time to reply. I've also heard back from my old English Penpal... you inspired me to write to her again after a long absence... and she would like to continue our friendship by mail! I thank you for that!<br /><br />Margie <br />www.whitechocolatebunny.wordpress.comMargie (and Fae)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05541639149779272153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-76126924550503092822010-09-09T21:58:15.279-04:002010-09-09T21:58:15.279-04:00I'm definately being encouraged to return to m...I'm definately being encouraged to return to my love of hand-writing letters and just today made some lovely pressed flowed cards with my daughter to send to my sister for her birthday. When I send cards, there is always a letter inside because I write very small and don't know how to be concise! Lots of inspiration from your blog happening here.

I did request a letter and have not yet had the joy of getting one but, I'm sure you will send it soon. We also wrote to a solider. Your efforts are appreciated even if we don't say so often.Kelly Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05597797209247672557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-61884406614893682422010-09-09T14:50:15.795-04:002010-09-09T14:50:15.795-04:00wow what a handsome soldier ;) Great blog...

I agree with "Homesteadgirl"...there may well be more letter writing going on due to your efforts than you can imagine. I did get my letter off to a soldier, no reply yet..and as you can well imagine he/she may still be reading my ramblings in a much-too-long letter..and reply or not, I felt it very worthwhile.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187124060268319664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-41691922768702717982010-09-09T10:47:41.323-04:002010-09-09T10:47:41.323-04:00I am one of those lerkers I guess...I love to read...I am one of those lerkers I guess...I love to read your posts but haven't really made that joy vocal. I have always been a letter writer and still hav a box of letters saved from geat grandmas etc that are since passed..they are treassures with every sense of the word...I will be posting on my blog soon about how I am teaching my daughters about letter writing and I'll be sure to link it back to you! Keep up this revolution...people are too busy making things fast and easy and what they really need to do it sit down and write a letter!! :)<br /><br />www.ourbrokenroad.blogspot.comHalliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222042125775932911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119548544666358256.post-84729486475050302992010-09-09T07:06:43.129-04:002010-09-09T07:06:43.129-04:00I sat down the night before last and penned 2 than...I sat down the night before last and penned 2 thank you cards, one anniversary card, and hand-painted a birthday card. I also had my kids make birthday cards, draw pictures, and write letters for faraway cousins and friends! There's still so much to be tapped about letter writing! Don't give up your blog...it doesn't really matter WHO is reading it...they may send a letter, even if they don't let you know...think of this big, soft, universal exchange of letters that's happening whether you know about it or not! Kinda mysterious and fun!The Knitty Gritty Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890656094078973552noreply@blogger.com
