a month of letters begins.

Today marks the first day of a month of letters!

I have already dropped my letter in the mailbox for today and have my one for tomorrow signed, sealed and ready to deliver!

All you have to do for the month of letters is mail anyone you desire something every day that there is mail. So no sundays or federal holidays! What a great way to tell someone you are thinking about them!

Have you decided who your first letter will be sent to?
