InCoWriMo, stands for International Correspondence Writing Month, which rhymes with “Ink a Rhino”. The goal is to write one letter, card, note, or postcard everyday for the entire month…
{Photo by Amy :: Express Yourself} As the first day of February and in honor of creating love-ly connections, we wanted to share some of our favorite ideas for celebrating this month. These are meant to challenge you - heart and mind and soul - and get you outside your comfort zone and into some old familiar territory, as well as some new places too. {via} First up, is the Month of Letters Challenge. The idea is that in February, you write a letter for every day the postal service runs. That means on Sundays, you can give your letter writing a breather. Why? We say why not. Who doesn't love to get real mail in their mailbox. And the connections made by hand and post are so much more authentic. We are taking the challenge on and we encourage you to do so as well! There is an entire website dedicated to this project complete with FAQ's and notes on how to connect online via Facebook and Twitter to help take the project from virtual to reality. Next is the Letters of Note site, where you can be inspired by fascinating and interesting correspondence gathered and curated to share with all. This love letter is worthy of a read. {via} Finally, for those of you more prone to pick up a camera instead of a pen, here is a photo challenge for the month of February from Fat Mum Slim. We are looking forward to this challenge as well and we'll be sure to tweet our pics with #febphotoaday. Be sure to share your letters (if you dare!) and your photos with us here, on our Facebook page, or via Twitter with #noteablyunique. {write on. read on. click on.}

Welcome to my first Month of Cards post :) I'm very excited for this month! Yes, it's only day three of mailing in February, but I have gotten a card in the mail each day, so I'm off to a good start. Today I'm sharing this super simple hello card that I made with my Silhouette. The hello was a free shape a few weeks ago, and I learned how to offset the grey on the Silhouette blog. Offsetting the type worked perfect to help the words "pop" in this card. For anyone who knows me, this is a perfect card for me and I love my purple hello card! I think I'm going to make more of these in other color combinations to have on hand. Have a great day and happy card making/letter writing!

So, it's the home stretch of preparing for A Month of Letters Challenge. Today I finished up my "LetterMo packet". First I made a list of everyone I wanted to write during the month. (Unlike many who take part in the challenge and find new pen-pals, I write only people I know and use it as a chance to keep in touch and/or catch up). I divided it between those I want to write weekly, those I want to write before the 14th (mainly sending Valentines cards, for instance to great aunts), and those I want to write after the 14th. Then I printed off a master address list and seals for letters. The LetterMo calendar I printed off then took the names from my wanting to write to list and scheduled out a plan so everyone should get their cards in time, but spread out the writing for me. I also gathered some stickers Valentines stickers and stamps to have handy. I discovered that the cards I was planning to send for Valentines Day had square envelopes; which requires extra postage and the upcoming pretty tulip 2oz stamps don't come out until the 14th... Thankfully I have a stash of extra envelopes I've picked up over the years and was able to find rectangular envelopes that they fit in well and would qualify for Forever stamps, which as you saw from the first photo, I have a nice set of heart stamps that will work great! I got my postcard set and put some postcard stamps with it. That way if the plan doesn't work for some day, I can just pull out a postcard, write/address it, and stick a stamp on real quick. Then I put everything in this pretty expanding file. Front has the items in the first photo, back slot the postcards. And in the middle each slot has like 3 days worth of cards for the first two weeks, and each of the next weeks has their own slot it will be split up as it gets closer. So, are you doing LetterMo?
