Prairie Eydie's Writing Challenge - Part 2

I am NOT Kitten you when I say these delightful cards are available on Etsy at Prairie Girl Greetings.

I am 15 cards into the 30 cards in 30 Days Challenge. I wrote to my Uncle, my mom's dear friend, and a "long lost" (but never forgotten) family friend. I sent a card of courage and gratitude to a fellow middle school Reading Specialist. Sprinkled in the mix are Thank You(s), Happy Birthdays, and Missing You (Meowy Much) cards. Everyone I wrote to are people I know. Now I am ready to branch out and write some letters to people I don't know.

This is the image Harrison Ford's "people" sent me. My copy is in a box somewhere; I look forward to finding it someday.

I am going to write some fan letters. This is an activity I LOVED as a tween/teen. I would gather addresses of my favorite celebrities from Tiger Beat and Bop magazines. Hours would be spent penning just the right letter, back then I was naive and thought my letters were actually being read by celebrities. Billy Joel, Tom Wopat, Daryl Hall, and Harrison Ford are a few of the celebs I wrote to. (Harrison Ford sent me an autographed B&W photo of himself as Han Solo. He signed it in blue marker that I smudged while trying to figure out the authenticity of the signature.)  

This time around I will write fan letters to people who aren't singers or actors. 

Sharon Draper, my very favorite YA author, will be hearing from me. She is such an inspiration as she became an author after being an English teacher for years in Cincinnati, Ohio. Her books are riveting and beloved by both teachers and students. 

I love this so much!

I will write a letter of gratitude to Kelly Rae Roberts. Kelly Rae's art and her on-line classes inspired me to start my own card line. Her art breathes gratitude, love, and courage.  

My copy is autographed, water logged, stained, dog eared, and loved.

Finally, the wonderful Natalie Goldberg will be receiving a letter of thanks. It was Natalie Goldberg's book, Wild Minds, that gave me permission to write and write and write. Wild Minds was recommended to me by my Grandma Sara, making the book even more special. 

Who wouldn't want to celebrate their birthday with these fun ladies?
