In three days it will be National Handwriting Day, January 23. Wouldn't it be a great idea to celebrate this holiday by mailing a handwritten letter to someone important to you?

For more inspiration, go to the website of last year's winners of the Graceful Envelope contest. And if you get really inspired, there's still time to submit an entry before February 25 this year staged by the Washington Calligraphers Guild.
