I like the creativity in making something pretty.

When my grandmother wrote letters to my mother, she and I would read and re-read again and again, until the next letter from my grandmother showed up. Your post brought back all those memories.<br />Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekar at <a href="http://cynthology.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow">Cynthology</a>Cynthia Rodrigues Manchekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582482381203565646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175359865999059996.post-44303005667021150332013-04-16T14:40:15.538+03:002013-04-16T14:40:15.538+03:00Funny you mention this.

When I posted this through FB I got some takers. There *are* still people out there that want handwritten letters, and I got some addresses. Then, my problem came to a head when I couldn't find any stationery. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, or maybe, that art, too, is dying. One day I'll have that beautiful box of stationery that I just don't want to soil with my awful handwriting. :P<br /><br />Jamie Dement (LadyJai)<br />http://writebackwards.we3dements.comJamie Dement (LadyJai)http://writebackwards.we3dements.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175359865999059996.post-49456529027901110372013-04-15T23:15:04.397+03:002013-04-15T23:15:04.397+03:00Love letter writing.

You can go to my site (I will link it below) and click on the link you can find my other blog Grandma Celia"s Love Letters. I don't mean to push it here, and I have been behind a little in posting, but they are scanned letters of my husband's Grandfather's letters to her before they were married. Its so beautiful the way everything was formally written. I wish they still had schooling for that.<br />KaTy Did at: <a href="http://www.lifesrideasiseeit.com/" rel="nofollow">Life's Ride As I See It</a>Kathleen Jennettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527996189920596997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175359865999059996.post-84123938877835534262013-04-15T16:31:43.585+03:002013-04-15T16:31:43.585+03:00I wrote a story a while back about an aunt who was...I wrote a story a while back about an aunt who was burning pictures of her ex-husband. Her niece commented it was a lot cooler than pressing 'delete' on her phone. There is something amazing about the tangible, whether it's a photo or a letter. That being said, I can't see myself going back to them. I love the convenience and relative safety of technology (with multiple back-ups) - as opposed to losing everything if you don't get that roll of film developed, or that box of letters burns in a fire.Carrie Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458547954843396305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175359865999059996.post-80423819873487606582013-04-15T04:53:30.581+03:002013-04-15T04:53:30.581+03:00When I move away to grad school this fall my boyfr...When I move away to grad school this fall my boyfriend and I have agreed to write each other actual letters at least once a week.

I send handwritten thank-you notes. I write something in every birthday and Christmas card I send. I prefer to write some of my fiction by hand before I type it into the computer. I've kept cards and letters from special friends. As the Age of Silicon continues, handwritten documents are all the more to be treasured!<br /><br />Happy A to Z!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175359865999059996.post-33730328451770503592013-04-14T18:08:17.671+03:002013-04-14T18:08:17.671+03:00I am a woman of a "cough-cough" certain ...I am a woman of a "cough-cough" certain age and although I blog and have email, I don't have an i-phone and an i-pad (also am retired and don't need these things for a job). I de-faced myself from Facebook since I am not writing a book and hated the comments on both sides during the election. So I do understand the value of these things. I write letters, I save letters from special friends and I cherish the letter I received from my parents who are now gone. Do you want to know how people felt during the American Civil War? read their poignant letters which are published in various history books. Letters and the written word are our history.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175359865999059996.post-30280982946185291252013-04-14T16:41:56.414+03:002013-04-14T16:41:56.414+03:00You are awesome for taking the time and doing that...You are awesome for taking the time and doing that!
