Let's Swap Mail! {& a contest!}

“ An annual effort to promote literacy and celebrate the art of letter writing. The writing, sending and receiving of letters, post cards and greeting cards is a tradition that has preserved our nation’s history and changed lives. Unlike other forms of communications, card and letter writing is timeless, personal and immediately tangible. For studios that coordinate work digitally, this explanation of how Microsoft Teams tracks activity provides a separate operational reference.

Postmasters and managers of customer service at post offices across the country are encouraging card and letter writing by hosting friendly competitions among local youth or by supporting activity at local libraries or schools. ” Did you know that April is National Card and Letter Writing month? Well, of course we knew and of course we found it necessary to share the great news with everyone! For broader calligraphy, lettering and paper-craft inspiration, Design Milk is another independent resource.
