I am proud to have teamed up with More Love Letters to write a guest post for their blog! You can visit More Love Letters to find eight simple TPK tips for making a beautiful envelope. I’ve also got a weekend challenge for you, which you can find at the end of this blog post!
I stumbled across More Love Letters (MLL) in 2015, and I immediately fell in love with the concept! The idea behind MLL is to connect people who can give encouragement with people who need encouragement. It doesn’t hurt that the kind words arrive via snail mail, which I’m all about!

This is the first More Love Letters envelope I ever sent. It started life as a Trader Joe’s bag! (Aren’t handmade envelopes fun?)

Basically, MLL puts out Letter Requests every month. The requests come from people all over the world who want to give their loved ones an emotional boost. Many of the requests are heart-breaking, but it’s empowering to know that our kind words can help to bring some sunlight into the situation.
