Sealed with a Smile

One of my New Years resolutions this year is to skip the email and instead reach for the pen.  In the past I have only ever written via snail mail for three primary reasons: 1. Thank You Cards 2. a response to a letter (which usually ends up stampless in my backpack for months at a time) 3. writing letters at summer camp hoping to get a response.

This year though I want to put all of my beautiful stationery to good use. I can't even begin to count how many different sets of stationery sit in storage under my desk. So this year I resolute to write someone once a week, whether it be a letter home to my Nana or a note to a sweet friend.

Over the holiday weekend I finished up a few overdue notes

I love coordinating envelopes

Hopefully later on this year I'll reach my goal of learning calligraphy to go along with my penning.

Expectations of this blog

For the past 4 years I have been "blogging" (if you count tumblr as blogging) on and off. I have decided to make a return to blogging with the purpose of sharing the information I learn on the internet with all my friends. I can't tell you how many times in a week people ask me where I learned something/gotten an idea from and my response is always, I read it in a blog. So with my return to blogging I have a few simple goals.

1. Share interesting and fabulous ideas with all my friends

-From all things DIY, fashion, politics, breaking news, beauty, and much more. 

2. Keep up with this blog and not let it fall off the face of the internet

-No one wants to look at a blog when the last post was 3 months ago.

3. Improve my writing 

-Practice makes perfect.

Hopefully I will succeed with these simple goals and make this blog the best it can be.

xoxo.
