Readers decorate their envelopes, and we keep every single one in a box by the door. Here are some favorites.
This letter arrived in a hand-decorated envelope with three different stamps and a drawing of a cat on the flap. We answered it on paper first, and we are sharing it here with permission.








The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that nobody starts out good at this, and the only way to get better is to print the thing and hand it to someone.
Keep writing to us. The mailbox is the best part of the week.
Print nights are pay-what-you-can. The jar covers toner and paper most months, and when it doesn't, we hold a swap and sell the duplicates from the lending shelf.
If something here doesn't work for you, write in. Half of our how-tos have been corrected by readers, and the corrections are always better than the original.
