I received some cute monogrammed note cards recently as a gift, and they are such lovely fall colors that I'm tempted to jot off some handwritten notes to a few friends.
Or would that just be terribly old-fashioned of me?
Seriously, I love to get letters and little gifts in the mail, don't you?I also enjoy the technology that allows us to keep in touch so much easier than ever before... flat-rate calling on the cell phone, email, blogging, Facebook... It's great!
But I kinda miss the little "treats" I used to find in my mailbox, too. So I've been trying to make more of an effort this year to write a note and... gasp! ...spend 42 cents on a stamp to "bless" my loved ones with a surprise in their mailboxes on occasion.
What do you think? Do you like "real" mail? Or does it not matter to you?

I love real mail I think the last that we got at our house was a birthday card from aunt Karla!
I love writing letters and agree that it is a lost art! With email and the internet it seems like most people don't have pen friends and write letters! Have a beautiful day!
I love getting letters. Both in the mail box and email. Seems we don't get much of either anymore, I'm sure it is because of the phone.
I sometimes spend time reading letters from by-gone years. Even the ones I wrote to my mother bring back memories that I had forgotten.
i love getting letters or cards. I used to be so much better about it. I dont think its so much the postage but more of time. I've been forced to going back to writing though--and I'm enjoying it!
I love handwritten notes and letters on beautiful stationary and note cards. I have a nice collection of each and fountain pens but seem to be in a stall on letter writing right now. It's contagious, you know - send a note and you just might get one!
Oh, I completely agree. I love to get a note in the mail. It means so much! I also like to send them. Unfortunately I don't do this very much. But, I am now challenged to try to make an effort this week. Have a great weekend!
Yes, I love receiving mail, and try to make myself write cards, especially to my elderly aunts and a few friends who don't use email. It really is becoming a lost art!

Yeah, I know I'm a guy on a girly blog ;), but I wanted to let you know of my new post on worldviews! Hee-hee! It also has a great little cartoon that I thought was very appropriate. You might want to check it out. Shameless self-promotion? Yeah, but it's totally pertinent to what you've been talking about, what all, with sending little "care" packages and stuff.... Yeah, uh-huh! ;)
I know all about it. Who do you think makes frequent little trips to the post-office, with pinkish, frilly, little envelopes and packages, prepared by my loving wife? I felt obliged to make sure the postal clerks knew that I don't have girlfriends in all 50 states in the Union! :O
Receiving handwritten cards and letters still is much nicer than an electronic message - however beautiful or clever.
Oh yes! Real mail is so much fun!! I think it's a grand idea to send some surprises. Enjoyed the one you sent me! And that stationary is REALLY cute. It's being displayed with my fall stuff!
I love regular mail and email. It's so fun to think someone else has been thinking about you enough to drop you a line. I can't imagine how they waited weeks at a time for a letter. I know when I was growing up that's all we had, but now I am spoiled with the computer. Love those pretty notecards though.
