The Lost Art








It seems the only thing I get in the mail now-days is junk, making a trip to the mailbox less exciting than it's probably ever been. Not that I ever got anything super exciting in mail before now, aside from Christmas time when making a trip to the mailbox is a bit more enjoyable with the anticipation of perhaps a Christmas card from friends or family. I decided I wanted to try to bring back the "lost art" of traditional, old-school communication via mail. Our lives are so busy and technology has became so convenient that we rarely make a sincere and thoughtful attempt to communicate with those we love. So I've designed a few "just because" cards that I am going print, HAND-write a note in, and send to those who I rarely get a chance to catch up with but cross my mind throughout the busy days. Besides, wouldn't it be such a fun surprise to find something bright and cheery like this pop up in your mailbox one day!? When was the last time you received a handwritten note, aside from the holidays, from someone who just wanted to say 'hello'? I bet it's been a LONG time.
