intro

Real letters, cards, notes, etc. Written by real people. Sent to real people. Pen, pencil, typewriter, blood; on parchment, notebook paper, greeting card, cocktail napkin. Doesn't matter. These are the things we keep stashed away. They stay special. Email has its place, but it doesn't hold that power. It lacks the sense of permanence and we will never show the long string of "143!!!" "<3 <3 <3" "Thinking of U" messages sent via beloved's Blackberry to our grandchildren.

So screw email.
Fuck email.
Write a letter. Send a card.
If you should be so lucky as to receive a letter, share it! With us! With the world! Send them to me at jillhannahcrafts@yahoo.com.

If you just type up the contents of the letter, please be sure to say on what the letter was written (ie "clean notebook paper, written in purple gel pen"). Names will be changed. If you send me a picture/scan of the actual letter that's even better. I can photoshop names out if necessary.

Now go dig through your shoebox.
