January Photo A Day
photoaday2

I spotted Fat Mum Slim's January Photo A Day Challenge graphic floating around on Instagram this week and started taking pictures. There is a photo prompt for each day and I thought I'd share my progress. Care to join? We're only a few days in, so feel free to start taking pictures - you don't have to be on Instagram or have a blog to participate.


Day One: (baby) Me


Day Two: Breakfast


Day Three: Something I Adore


Day Four: Letterbox

Stalking Central
Mail | To Missive Maven




Ilona, The Missive Maven, was one of my first constant penpals when I started writing to 'strangers' (people online) a few years ago. I remember spending hours on her blog ogling all of that pretty mail. I so enjoy reading her letters. There really is a craft to writing great letter and she's totally honed hers.  I've really missed writing to her, since mail has taken a bit of a backseat for me in the last year. I find that making letter writing as easy as possible for myself works best - getting out an envelope and some paper, designating a spare half an hour to write, decorating the envelope for 5 minutes, filling it with some goodies, then sealing it up. I'd like to try to send one or two letters per week this year. Have you sent any letters lately?
