    I find this tool handy for making envelopes. I imagine it could be sourced somewhere closer to you.

    Yes. And yesterday. And the day before that. I bought $100 of vintage stamps last week to fuel the habit. When there's a lull, I can always turn to Postcrossing, where I can max out at 26 travelling cards at any one time (though I'm usually 5-10 cards).
    Your one-upmanship is getting annoying. I may see if I can pull back that postcard I sent yesterday!

    I have various templates and kits to use to make envelopes, but for a start the best way is to actually carefully take apart an envelope that you have received, that you like, and feel is the right size for whatever paper you want to use for your envelopes.
    Then either draw around it on the back of your paper, or draw around it on a piece of card, cut it out, and make your envelope from your new template.

    Hi Chrissy, I hadn't thought of that. Great idea.

    I have a We R Memory Keepers board, mentioned somewhere else on this forum... but my only real gripe is it wants you to start with square sheets of paper...

    I have something similar that I bought from Hobby Lobby, and that wants you to start with square paper too. It's not always ideal to do so.

    I wrote another 3 sides of A4 for my current penpal letter - I am hoping to finish it this week before it gets too enormous!

    I reached 17 sides of A4, oh god. I need to work out how to finish it, and enclose some swatches and a tiny Christmas note, because this was supposed to be the November letter!

    Brevity. Soul of wit.

    Sent Christmas cards for the first time in years using my newly acquired teal blue Parker 45 filled with Lamy Pacific Blue.

    I did intend to count how many letters I wrote in 2018, but then it isn't really of any importance.

    I did post 3 letters on the last day of the year.

    Thank you my friend.
    I'm still wrapped around my first cup of coffee of the morning. As soon as it's inside me I'll begin following my pen across a page - it's my intention to do that all day. A few of it's track will be enclosed in an envelope and tomorrow begin winging toward you. My best wishes for the day, for the year, forever..

    I've used the (sort of) quiet time between holidays to clear my reply pile and am down to only one left to go.

    Hmm, maybe? In two minds about whether I want to put my address in the book, although the default to remove it in March seems reasonable.
