And I keep the digital version.mandarinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413240094728405118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-36550060927366241742010-01-05T15:34:56.913-05:002010-01-05T15:34:56.913-05:00Happy New Year!

It does take longer than sending an email, but it's so much fun when you receive a response in the mailbox! Thanks for including me in your experiment!!<br /><br />Did you notice, when you spend an evening writing letters, that your hand begins to hurt?! That surprised me! I guess we don't tend to do much writing of any kind anymore, unless we make a point of doing so. :)knitseashorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594976722011232979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-53548601843424243812010-01-05T06:04:23.176-05:002010-01-05T06:04:23.176-05:00I really love this idea and all the organisational...I really love this idea and all the organisational tips you've picked up from having pen pals this year.

I've really enjoyed it and as a result getting to know you even better. It is so much more intimate than blogging and that is very nice. Every time I get a letter, it is very exciting. <br /><br />I've been keeping my letters wrapped in elastic bands, but a basket is always a good idea.ZoesMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279493011192565601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-18957024015379137212009-12-27T20:09:49.705-05:002009-12-27T20:09:49.705-05:00Add me to the list of people interested in being a...Add me to the list of people interested in being a pen pal.

I had to laugh about the stationery because I got some for Christmas with some new sealing wax too. I've got my letters tied with ribbon too. I won't be selling them on e-bay but The Collected Letters of Emily has a nice ring to it :) Happy New Year!Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-57608593434155460932009-12-27T14:04:02.334-05:002009-12-27T14:04:02.334-05:00I used to write to so many penpals- don't know...I used to write to so many penpals- don't know how I got out of the habit, as I love writing and receiving letters and love stationery too!

And then I reached the last paragraph and see that you are asking for additional penpals. I guess that's my cue: add my name to your list & I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll draw my name. <br /><br />Have a wonderful New Year and I look forward to reading more here. I'm thinking I might try posting more frequently on my blog in 2010 (that is, regularly, not just more than once every 2 months as it has been recently), so I hope you'll stop by there too and occassionally leave one of your delightful comments. <br /><br />A basket of letters, bound in colorful ribbon, sounds very homey!Anne Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419931136194330529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-84398362628006460522009-12-26T16:23:25.995-05:002009-12-26T16:23:25.995-05:00Have a lovely blogging holiday until the New Year,...Have a lovely blogging holiday until the New Year, Emily!
