Do you remember those pretty blue ink stamp figures on your school books when you succeed in task and the teacher was happy with you? Some teachers still use them. I did that too this year for my Christmas season letters. I really could not help myself!
Correspondence -penpalling as you may know it- has been my hobby f0r over 30 years. I have always decorated my own writing papers. At 80's there still was available pretty paper for the letters at the shops. Today the changes to find one are few; meaning up here in the North. Despite we have much more shops today than back on 80's. I guess it is because writing letters seems to be disappearing folklore but it is a wonderful way to keep touch with your friends and family.
On January 2015 I did some HomeMade writing paper and decided to start to share also it with you. Also on November 2016 I did some. Of course I've done much between and after too so unfortunately everything doesn't end up here on MyBlog. But sometimes I remember to take a pic before writing and sending them away. This time I used A5 size old squared note book pads which pages have already started to turn out a bit yellow. It all looks so nostalgic. I love to use my stash for crafts.
