I have not had a personal blog since I stopped updating my live journal in ~2008.
Well, hello there my dearies, and just who might you be?*
Welcome to my brand new blog!
My name is Jessica, I’m 27 years old, and I live in Rock Camp, West Virginia (population 34) with my husband (Seth) and our many pets! I’ve been writing letters to faraway friends and family my whole life (well at least as long as I’ve been able to write), but I’ve only recently merged my love of postal correspondence with my “social media presence”. Since joining the online snail mail community I have found incredible inspiration, including the urge to start this blog!
My hope is that this blog will be a resource for fellow snail-mailers, and that it will serve to inspire you as I have been inspired by countless others.
Do you need incentive to pick up a pen and send a letter right now? You’re in luck! April is #NationalCardAndLetterWritingMonth [in the USA] – the perfect excuse to send some love through the mail! I’m participating in the #write_on campaign (sponsored by the awesome folks at Eggpress and Hello Lucky Cards), and challenging myself to write at least #30LettersIn30Days! Here’s a glimpse of what I’ve mailed out so far:

There’s still plenty of time to join in on the fun! Check out the hashtags above (on Instagram especially) and you’ll find tons of ideas for creative mailings! Remember while you scroll though, a stamp, an envelope, a pen, and a plain sheet of paper are all you really need to brighten someone’s day! Don’t stress, just write!
Struggling to figure out who to write to? Send me a letter, I always write back!
Well, hello there! Disclaimer:Â I have not had a personal blog since I stopped updating my live journal in ~2008.
