I've been a somewhat busy bee and have just put up two new items in the Etsy shop.
It may be of surprise that I still write to people. I mean I really do, I sit down and write epic letters, small notes, post cards, or put together the occasional care package. My mother trained me this way starting at a very young age and really, who doesn't enjoy getting something in the mail that ISN'T a bill, magazine or advertisement?
The reason I'm getting into this is because the excuse I get the most about not writing is "I don't have anything to say".
Seriously? You have a Facebook, Twitter, tumblr and god knows what other kind of social networking tool - but you have nothing to say? Come on now, you can do better than that.
Personally, I prefer correspondence cards - this is what you call cards that are flat, as opposed to 'notes' or a 'note card', which are fold-over cards. Correspondence cards give you enough space to say a thing or two but they're not big enough to demand that you write a novel. I am a devout fan of keeping things short and simple. (Which I know you wouldn't guess by my rambling posts. My apologies, I write much more than I ever physically talk.)
If you've not written a friend or foe in a while, do it! Maybe someone just needs to know that you think of them every now and then. Leaving a comment on Facebook is not the same. You'd be surprised at how pleased someone will be to get something in the mail.

Ahh! These are wonderful! You never cease to amaze me with your beautiful brain. <3<3
And your personal note to me was so special I have it on my bookcase so I see it often. I am still grieving my grandmother and the Print is lovely. I adore your work and checking out your blog. I wish we could sit and have some coffee in the future :) Conversation would be swell. Cheers*
