It’s Going to be a Day of Letter Writing

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Feb 19, 2009

My step-daughter received a letter from her grandmother yesterday, and I received one from her the day before. She’s one of my pen pals and I absolutely love exchanging letters with her about her granddaughter’s experiences, the weather, changes in the household, and anything else that pops into my mind. My other pen pal is a writer friend, so I feel like I can connect with her in ways people in my real life will never understand.

So, today I’m going to write some illustrated letters with my step-daughter. She’s been away at her mom’s all week, and just returned home last night. She clung to me like she hasn’t seen me in months, and that was such a wonderful feeling. I can’t wait to work on these letters with her. She’s playing a puppy game with her dad right now, so I have plenty of time to work on some projects and deadlines before our day of letter writing begins. I’m so excited! I dreamed about it last night – that’s how much I’m looking forward to creative moments with this little girl.

I have a ton of “art related” articles and project tutorials to catch up on today, too. So, while I’m working on these while she’s working on art projects as well. She has a poster she’s coloring, so it will give us a good opportunity to “work” together on “important papers.” She so cute!
