Make someone’s mailbox the best part of their day.
We live in a crazy, uncertain world, but despite everything, one thing we can agree on is that our home is our safe place. I hope you are continuing to enjoy the house portrait I created of your lovely home. After all, your home is a place filled with memories, milestones, and meaning. What if you could share it?
In a digital world, a handwritten card stands out. It’s tangible. It’s intentional. It’s unforgettable. I truly believe in the value of handwritten notes. In fact I love receiving things in the mail — besides bills and junk mail that is!
It may seem a small thing, but I firmly believe that your personal note to a friend, a loved one, or even a perfect stranger, could do much to brighten their day. The fast-paced world today needs real hand-crafted art, and it also needs heartfelt messages shaped by the human hand.
Because nothing feels more personal than a note written by hand… especially when it carries the image of home and your hand-crafted home portrait.
My husband and I have lived in a number of different historic homes in many different cities in the USA, and it is a tradition of mine to create our own notecards featuring our house portrait and using them to liberally write handwritten notes that I send in the mail.
Remember, your home isn’t just a building. It’s where birthdays were celebrated, holidays were hosted and where everyday life quietly became meaningful. Now imagine sending a handwritten note with that image on the front, whether a thank you, a holiday greeting or simply a “thinking of you.” note that randomly arrives with someone as a nice surprise.
Such a card is personal, memorable and timeless. In other worlds, let the love of your home — your safe haven — travel, one handwritten note at a time.
To get you in the mood, I’m offering beautiful custom notecards featuring your original house portrait on the front — ready for your own handwritten message inside. I have them printed by my local printer to ensure accurate color reproduction and quality. The cards come with matching envelopes. As part of this offer, shipping is free. Here’s how it breaks down:
50 cards and envelopes. $ 105
100 cards and envelopes. $ 175
200 cards and envelopes. $ 250
You may also consider a set of notecards of your house portrait as a surprise gift for a family member. A set of house portrait notecards makes a thoughtful closing gift, anniversary gift, or holiday present.
And as a bonus to show my passion for handwritten notecards, if my message has spurred you on to create your own notecards, I am happy to design a print-ready notecard with the painting of your house portrait on the front, for you to use . . . . at no charge.
As a final note, I invite you to join in my simple campaign to “Make Mail Meaningful Again.” In other words, slow down and write more.
In a world of instant messages and disappearing texts, a handwritten note lasts. It carries your voice in every curve of the letters. It holds intention in every pause of the pen. It becomes something to keep — not just something to read.
A handwritten card says: You matter enough for my time and my effort.
Bring back the power of ink. Perhaps you can ask yourself this questions, “When was the last time you opened your mailbox and smiled?: Let’s change that. Send a handwritten note this week. And don’t forget that one card can make someone’s whole day.
I would love to hear what you think about hand-written notecards and welcome any other feedback you may have. I always love to hear from you.
Spread the love and take care,
Leisa
