We have lost the art of writing letters (we blog instead ;) There is a special thrill associated with opening a paper letter, seeing the hand writing, and reading the sometimes illegible words in the paper. I often think I should write a good old letter to someone, but soon realize that my addressbook does not have a single postal address, but only email ids and cell phone numbers. Beautiful post.

On the other hand, I think letterfolds are cool, and they're also handy for gift tags and hand-delivered notes. If you want to send an envelope-less letter back to your letter-writing friend, here are some resources: Preprinted sheets - http://www.letterfu.com/ and for more variety: http://www.ghh.com/elf/ I had a bunch of international penpals when I was a kid - I think there were lists in the newspaper - but I hardly write letters any more either unless there’s something physical I need to send with them.

My handwriting is terrible. Have got so much used to typing that writing on paper with pen seems so foreign. I can relate to your dilemma. My handwriting is terrible.
