So I had this idea last night as I was writing letters. I actually write real handwritten letters to people all summer because when I am at camp it really seems like the thing to do. That mentality probably comes from when I was a camper and the only form of communication that we had was letters. I like writing, and writing letters at the end of the day is a great way to decompress (especially after a day like today).
I suppose though, that you are wondering what the idea actually is. Along with writing letters I also like to get mail, also, the walls of my cabin are kind of bare. So, I thought that I would put out a proposal for post cards. I don’t really know how many people read my blog, but if any of you out there write me a postcard from wherever you live or are spending your summer then I will send you back a nice handwritten postcard from Maine or New Hampshire. I will even sweeten the offer and say that if you write more than one postcard this summer I will send you back more than one.
Now I suppose you are going to ask why I would do this. As I said, I like to write and I am happy to write to anyone who writes to me. I also think that writing by hand is a dying art and I would like to keep it alive for as long as possible. It is also fun to get mail from other places. This certainly is not the most expensive of summer opportunities and it is cool to get neat post cards. Maybe if I get postcards from any of you I will scan them and post them on my blog.
If you want to send me a postcard and participate in my summer postcard swap, you can find my address below. I made it a graphic just for a little sense of security. Of course, in order to write you back I will need your address, and I figure the best way to do that is to either email me or use my contact form here. If you don’t care then i suppose you could just leave your address in a comment. In any event, let’s have some fun with this!
