This starts a whole new category. Here is where I will review services and products geared toward letter writing and penpals. This seemed an appropriate way to start this category off.  Write_On takes place in April. The idea is to write 30 letters in 30 Days. These kits can be ordered to help you along with your goal. They are purchasable on a sort of sliding scale. If you can’t afford the price…

Backside of 30…

Shoot.  That’s been the case now for almost 5 years, and I’m just now quoting John Conlee? C’mon, Ash.  Actually, forgive yourself for dropping the ball on this minor detail.  I have been dealing with a small molehill of madness.  But … Here’s to 2016: The Year of the Monkey AND the Year of the Ashley. I’ve never not loved a birthday.  No. 1, it guarantees a party and favorite friends.  No. 2,…

National Letter Writing Month officially kicked off on April 1, 2014. It just so happened that one of stationery designers that I follow on Instagram posted this to her feed:

Can you imagine my delight stumbling upon this exciting news! As a designer, I find that I have I don't write handwritten letters as often as I should. But seeing this post I was suddenly inspired! I'm not sure if it was the cute letterpress cards or what, but I know I needed to get busy writing, again. EggPress and HelloLucky teamed and the Write_On challenge was born: to write 30 letters in 30 days. With the hustle and bustle, and technology of today, we have all gotten away from this medium of communication. Hopefully we will find our way back...

Here are a few pics of the cards that I received via snail mail. Honestly, they were so gorgeous, that I didn't even want to use them. 

Aren't they just lovely?

Would you like to join the Write_On challenge? It's not too late. There's still time to send a card or two a day to someone for the remainder of the month. Head over to the EggPress site and join today! You'll be so happy that you did.

Xoxo,

The Scoop | National Ice Cream Day is this Sunday, but...

Us cats are super excited because this Sunday is National Ice Cream Day--as declared by the Prez back in the day in 1984!

We're SO EXCITED that we're busting out the FCC cart early and wheelin' it over to Hello Lucky on Saturday @1 pm. We'll also have some non-dairy treats for non-dairy and non-dairy curious cats alike. 

Paws for just a moment...you mean the cats are celebrating a day early for National Ice Cream Day?

Why, yes! We can't help it, we're restless! 

So come join us for the fun!
