Crafting Letters ~ Snail Mail

I started this tradition before we moved and had almost forgotten how much fun it was for the kids, simply sending cards. One day I was cleaning out a closet and I found the box of blank thank you cards that were left over from my wedding. Just simple white ones, and knowing I would [...]
