Hello! Let's try a homemade "Postalette Swap." I found a tutorial for Fern Letter Fold which is a sheet of paper that can be written upon, folded and mailed.

The theme for this month is JANUARY! (Holidays, New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Women Rock Day, Harlem Globetrotters Day, National Sticker Day, etcetera) Search through your stash and find a sheet of January vibes one-sided paper.

Write a personal letter to your partner, either handwritten or printed. Select three of the prompts listed below.

Seal the letter (think a sticker, wax seal, or a bit of washi tape)

WRITING PROMPTS:

1. Local events, parades or festivals – either in your hometown or state

2. Life update – what’s happened recently, moving house, family wedding, vacation, new pet, visited with a friend, and so on.

3. Describe three goals, tasks, or wishes for 2025? (any combination is fine.)

4. Would you rather attend a big New Year's bash or spend the evening at home? Describe your evening.

5. What are three things or trends you need to leave in 2024?

6. What is your favorite winter activity? What do you do?

7. New Year's Resolutions, January Challenges or Word of the Year? Explain.

8. The new year is full of new opportunities and dreams, if money were no object where would you like to spend the next year? Provide an explanation.

9. Pick up a new hobby or improve on an existing hobby?

10. Read more or cook more?

11. To celebrate sticker day January 13, include a sticker for your partner (sender's choice.)
