National Letter Writing Week


This old WPA poster indicates the first week of October used to be National Letter Writing Week.  This coming week, enjoy sending copious amounts of mail to your friends and loved ones.  Try snail mail; everyone loves receiving a random and unexpected line.
Writing a love letter?  Make some scented ink:
  1. Mix together 1 teaspoon of essential oil with 1 teaspoon of vodka  
  2. Slowly add this mixture to a bottle of fountain ink
  3. Shake well
  4. Write away
Feel like you're not great at writing?  Check out the templates at writing help-central.  Or peruse Emily Post's 1922 article on writing etiquette preserved at Bartleby.  

Kids love receiving a sheet of stickers, coloring book, flat bracelets, foam crafts, or gift cards.  

This week, pop open that address book.  That letter will be appreciated.
