Letter Write Month 2013

Time for another challenge! I decided to be a part of the LetterMo. More info on LetterMo here.


Here is what you have to do:

During February 2013 you mail at least one item through the post every day. It can be a postcard, a letter, a picture or whatever else you want to send. Whenever someone writes to you, you are supposed to write back (this counts as the one mailed item).
You have to send 23 mail-items, because Sundays are off and then there is a holiday some day (don't know what day) and yo get that day off as well. 

If you want to learn more about the challenge, look at the FAQ.

Wish me luck. I'll keep you posted about the progress of this project!

Happy New Year!



The new year on this blog starts with a card from one of the countries that is among the first ones to celebrate the new year - Fiji!
