I mailed a letter to my oldest granddaughter, telling her about when I was a little girl.
Jane, that sounds wonderful! I bet she will treasure it.
very cool!!
Lovely idea!
What a treasure!!
Mary, Thanks for posting the badges! They aren’t necessary… but they sure are fun…. made me feel like a kid with a sticker! This is my first year and I am enjoying it already. I appreciate all the time that you put into this! I got out my first mail today, a package to my daughter in college in Iowa with some Valentine goodies.
Do we get a badge for each item or just one badge for all?
Just one badge for each challenge met. Although, there will be some challenges (I hope) that involve things like visiting multiple new mailboxes.
I do plan on using a different mailbox every day and so far I have. LOL
I sent a birthday card today and it gave me two badges, yet in my Acheivements tab it shows nothing earned. Huh?
Oh! I didn’t realized the Achievements tab was still visible. That’s an old system that shouldn’t still active. You should see your badges in the right side menu.
Is anyone else having a problem with this page? I have filled out and submitted the “What Have You Mailed Today?” form several times, but it’s not posting.
On your page click on Letters and that is where it will be.
I don’t see mine either and I just filled it out.
Looks like there’s a time lag sometimes after you post it. Mine finally showed up.
My posts still aren’t showing up either, pout whine pout pout. I’d threaten to hold my breath until they do, but I don’t how to do that over the Internet : ).

I’ve posted 9 postcrossing today. All of them international and all of them for Postcrossing. I’d hoped to respond to a few letters today as well, but perhaps tomorrow.
I am a huge fan of Postcrossing! I would love to receive a postcard from you! You can find me on there under username CONTACTQUYNH. If you can’t find it, feel free to email me and we’ll exchange mailing addresses.
I have posted one postcard for Postcrossing and two birthday cards (one for my mum i law and one for my nephew that’s turning one)
I didn’t realize I should post here daily. Yesterday I mailed 2 birthday cards and postcard.
Today I mailed to notes to dear friends. So far so good!
Hope to hear from you!!! 🙂
22 letters written so far this month. Later this evening I will be over the 23 mark as stated. I hope all of you letter writers are having a successful February 2015!
I have spent a lovely few hours writing letters and cards! I’ve posted everyday but forgot to say I have posted!! ooops never mind lol
I started 2016 with three letters and a postcard to Italy, USA and Finland. One is to a friend, a former flat mate that returned in her hometown for personal problems. I hope it will bring her a smile.
I mailed three letters this morning before even joining this site. It was exciting to find an excuse and a validation for writing letters all in one place!
Day 1 I mailed out 16 items today which covered almost all categories and used a new postbox. Here is a post I did on my blog http://bridgetlarsen.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/a-month-of-letters-today-is-day.html
Wow, Bridget! You are a LetterMo powerhouse!
Bridget,
I see on your blog you sent a note through AnySoldier, but I read that the military is no longer allowing these letters through. I found this on the FAQ page of the Military Postal Service site:
8. Is there “Any Servicemember Mail”?
No. With large numbers of servicemembers deployed overseas this year, family members, friends and other Americans who want to support the military are asking about military mail service. A Department of Defense (DOD) News Release highlighted the cancellation of mail programs that allowed the general public to send mail addressed to “Any Service Member”. While these programs were very popular with the public, security concerns and transportation constraints with military mail led to their cancellation. As an alternative, the DOD News Release noted web sites that will post messages of encouragement and highlighted opportunities to support veterans and military families. (Click here to read the news release)

My husband has relatives in the military who say the restriction is still in place, but there are several sites offering to get mail to soldiers. Does anyone have more information?
Ruth
HI Ruth,
Wonder what site that is from because I got the addresses from this site http://anysoldier.com/WhereToSend/ and if it is to be discontinued then I have no idea why the addresses are being given out. You can see on the tab to the left when the messages were put up by the military personnel. I think your message above relates to letters addressed to a non specific person whereas these letters actually have a name which is what is allowed.
Bridget,
I can see how that might make a difference. Thank you for pointing it out! There is so much conflicting information out there.
Ruth
Thanks for the link Bridget. I may do this for Feb. I wonder if they are permitted to write back….
Yes, I think for the most part they are. I wrote a letter and sent a care package last year to someone stationed in Afghanistan, and she wrote back with a very grateful note.
I updated the badge based on Ruth’s comment.
Thanks! I was having trouble with that too. Makes sense now.
6 items for Day 1 Sent. 4 letters (1 International) 2 postcards! All ready for Day 2 and lots of notecards to send! I am delivering the letters by bicycle, to the drop box or post offices this week, cause great weather!
I also mailed two postcrossing postcards – one to Poland and the other to the Ukrain 🙂
I mailed 1 Valentine’s day card to Colorado City, Texas from a mailbox in Euless, Texas.
I mailed one postcard to Germany today.
I apologize! I also didn’t know that we could post every day we send mail. I may not do that part all month just for the surprise factor (for recipients on here.)
I did mail a little poem to my niece yesterday, and today was my first letter to someone one here. I even attempted some mail art. (Let’s just say I hope they like stick figures, stick trees, and badly drawn bears… ha!)
Oops, I meant “on here.”
Day 2 I mailed out 7 items today, have to find more people now hahahaha. I sent birthday, A spot of mail, International, Package, reply, A Marine servicewoman, postcrossing postcard. I am thoroughly enjoying finding new postboxes. You can read my Day 2 post here http://bridgetlarsen.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/a-month-of-letters-day-2.html
Sent out an encouraging package today =) http://www.cruzcreate.com/ink/the-power-of-the-post
I mailed 2 letters to 2 different pen pals because I missed yesterday (
Day 3=5 mailed:
Day 4 = 3 international letters with goodies inside them
Day 5 A spot of Mail,
Day 6 Mail art I usually try and make my envelopes interesting, so I got one of those adult colouring books and make envelopes out of them so the recipient can colour in the envelope if they so wish. You can see the post here http://bridgetlarsen.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/a-month-of-letters-day-6.html
Thanks for sharing this terrific idea, Bridget. I handled but didn’t buy an adult colouring book on Amazing Cities. I see that a few pages of towns and cities in my home province, so I may pick it up tomorrow for next week’s goodies.
I love that idea, Bridget!! I have a number of those coloring books, but have only colored in a couple pages, lol! That is a really neat way to use the pages.
Day 7 woohoo I did a week of mailing. This mail went out to a penpal I found on Letterset. A dear old Gentleman who is a prolific writer, no sooner do I send him an email to let him know there is snail mail coming-then boom he replies. A great story of love between him and his wife Lillian and a funny story of how they met in an army mess hall. You can see the post here http://bridgetlarsen.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/a-month-of-letters-day-7.html
Six pieces of mail went out today, including a birthday card and presents to my sister and a 1st Place medal to a student who won an arts competition last year (for Dance Choreography). She missed the awards presentation, but I kept forgetting to bring her the medal. Finally decided it would get there faster if I just stuck it in the mail instead. With a nice card, of course. It feels so good to have done that, finally! Other mail included a letter to a LetterMo participant I hadn’t corresponded with before and three Postcrossing cards, to France, the Czech Republic, and the Ukraine. And I sent some of them from a mailbox I hadn’t used before.
