You know what I love getting in the mail? Letters. Notes. Real stuff, written by hand, not computer generated. I just love it when folks take the time to write something just for me. In fact, I received a package yesterday, and it had quite a few items in it, some of them fairly costly, and a plain note card with a couple of paragraphs of handwritten text. Actual real and true stationery, ya’ll. Though I must say, I have no idea who it belonged to, because the initials on it are not those of the package sender, but that’s ok, I enjoyed it anyway. In fact, when I was asked what was in the box, I replied “a card”, and when pressed I remembered to mention, “oh, and all this other stuff”.

So, this morning, I was thinking that for someone who loves to get real mail, I hardly ever send it out. And that’s a shame. And I really liked that note card yesterday, so I thought maybe I should send out notes now and then if I want to get notes. I looked at Custom Photo Cards, and I think I like the one pictured here the best. I’ve heard it said that when you take a picture in color, you capture someone’s clothes, but if you take a black and white, you capture their soul, which led me to do something else:

I’d love to get blank notecards with one of those last two pictures, and just my name in cursive on the corner. Yes, I realize I’m not wearing makeup, but in those last shots, it doesn’t matter, does it?
