Snail mail quotes portable#
If you want to have a portable “desk” for letter writing on the go, check out my pen-pal binder tutorial. If you want to see how I organize all of my supplies, you can check out my room + desk tour post. Maybe get a little one for on top of a desk so you can put small supplies in it? I also have a simple box for goodies that’s on top of my desk so I can quickly sort through it and find things I want to include in letters. Plastic drawer organizers would also work great. Another idea that someone gave me was to put stickers in clear page protectors in a binder. That would be great for flipping through to find certain ones. Supplies: And then of course we have all the supplies! There’s always the obvious, like little cans or jars for writing supplies. I really like having a file folder with different sections for stuff like stickers, stationery, and already decorated envelopes. So of course I need an address book! But I like to make a pen pal notebook and put not only addresses in it, but also keep track of incoming and outgoing letters, my pen pals’ favorite colors, and also their birthdays. It’s nice to be able to flip to a “pen pal profile” if I need to look up their address or when their next birthday is. Information:I have a few of my pen pal’s addresses memorized, but definitely not all of them. I think it would be neat to be able to flip through your letters in a binder, but then you’d probably have to punch holes in the envelope so I’m not sure how that would work. You may need several of them depending on how many pen pals you have and how many letters you get. Another idea is to store them in a file folder or three-ring binder. I personally love keeping my letters in a big drawer so I have them handily stored in my actual desk. Especially if you have heaps of them and you just want to pile them in something to keep them contained. Letter storage: Most of the ideas I’ve heard relate to boxes, and that’s honestly a pretty great way to store them. So! Here are a few tips that might be useful for you. At least that way the cleaning up process won’t be so bad. My desk and even my bedroom floor can quickly be taken over by letter writing supplies, but I think it really does help if you have a good way to store everything. Or at least it is if it’s combined with a messy person such as the one writing this post, heh. Sometimes I think writing letters might be the messiest hobby out there. Keep them on a spot on your desk, or make a little holder for them on your bulletin board or pegboard. Several people keep the letters in plain view so they’re always staring at you, waiting to be replied to. But if you’re excited to decorate the envelope and stationery, go ahead and start with that! It’ll get you in the mood for the actual writing of the letter. (Hey look, that even rhymes!) Of course, if you don’t usually do a lot of art, or don’t enjoy it, this might not be the best way for you. In my experience, you’re more in the mood to reply to letters right after you read them so if you set aside even just 20 minutes to be able to write letters after you get the mail, it’ll help you get a head start on it.Īnother way to get started is to start with the art. I usually feel the most like writing letters when I actually start doing it. One of the best ways to do it is to just make yourself set aside time for writing letters, even if you don’t particularly feel like it.
Hopefully this will be helpful for me too, because I’m rather behind at the moment! Shall we begin? -KEEPING UP WITH REPLIES-įirst of all, I’m gonna give you a few tips for keeping up with replies. We’re each doing a sort of Pen Pal 101 post, so together they make 202! We’ve been brainstorming a ton of ideas so after you read these posts you should be all set for writing some wonderful letters! Anywho, one of my pen pals and blogging friends, Laura, is doing a pen pal collab with me today! I’m so excited for it. If you don’t then I REALLY LIKE SNAIL MAILING. I’m pretty sure a lot of you know how much I love snail mailing by now. **please note that there are a few affiliate links in here.
