Love Letters Straight From The Heart

 There is a special place in our heart for love letters.

A stack of love letters like these are a thing of the past.

With emails and texts so easily sent,

when was the last time you received a handwritten letter?

Do you have a stack of letters in a beautiful

old memory box that sits on the top shelf of your closet?

Or possibly if you are younger,

you might have found the stack of love notes that

your father sent to your mother.

I found one of my mother's first love letters from my dad

and it started with...

"My dearest little lamb."

 When I found this on Pinterest,

I thought it might be a wonderful gift to a child.

Something to leave your son or daughter for those

special times in their lives or when a lovely

note from a parent is just the thing they need

at a difficult time in their life.

 A pretty handmade envelope 

made from beautiful floral papers

might suit a best friend. 

Taking the time to make something 

special for someone who is special

 is so rarely done today.

 

 I love these lacey paper envelopes

made from paper doilies.

Maybe these would be beautiful for

a wedding invitation?

 And I am absolutely mad about all the 

lovely creations of Hens Teeth Art.

Her beautiful creations would be gorgeous

framed as a keepsake.

And, if you couldn't create an envelope

like the ones above, Martha Stewart Crafts to the

rescue.  It might just start with an outlined

envelope using a ruler and a marker.

Maybe it's time to take a little time

from our usual routine of writing just emails or texts.

With the beginning of a new season and

more time being spent indoors,

let's spend the time to create a

keepsake for the special people in our lives.
