Participant Vicki Stephens created some Month of Letters Participant Stickers to show her correspondents that she’s taking part in the Challenge. What’s more, she’s making those stickers available to you through a .pdf download. You just need a sheet of sticker paper or regular paper and a gluestick.
Just a reminder, these are NOT postage. Please do not put them on the front of the letter so that the letter carriers aren’t confused.
If you are writing to someone in the U.S. and don’t have their zipcode, or want to be super-helpful and use the ten-digit code, the USPS has a handy tool online for looking them up.
The royal mail has a similar service for the U.K.
If you are looking for a way to organize your Month of Letters Challenge, we have a calendar for you.
Participant Richelle had said,
“I printed up a calendar and am filling in the days with people I want to write! I have a big stash of stationary I am hoping I can finally use. I may have to break the rules and send more than one a day. So many people I want to write!”
That was a brilliant idea, so I made a calendar page that you can print out to help plan your letter writing. (Oh, it’s not breaking the rules to send more than one thing a day.)
Download the Month of Letters Calendar for February, 2012 as a pdf. Thanks for the suggestion, Richelle.
“Never think, because you cannot easily write a letter, that it is better not to write at all. The most awkward note that can be imagined is better than none…” —Emily Post, 1922
Allow me confess that I am surprised, and delighted, by how many people seem to be excited by the Month of Letters challenge. I had thought that, if people seemed interested, that I would make a website for the challenge next year. La! Perhaps this year is a better idea.
However, that does mean that you are arriving at a website that is half-baked. I can see the need for a central location, but will need your help in understanding what the community needs. So stop in the Forums, poke around the tête-à-tête.
Let me know what you are interested in.
Oh, and get ready to send some mail.
