If I remember, I also have a few stickers and stationery in there - otherwise my letters tend to look rather boring. However, only the regular sized envelopes fit in there - it's not big enough for the long envelopes or for A5 envelopes, so I answer those letters at home because I don't like to put the letters in my bag without "protecting" them. <br />I like the list because I then know when I received a letter - I try to keep the reply and waiting time for my penpals low (or at least, close to how much time they usually take to reply) and it's really helpful to see when I got that letter and how long it travelled. With the lists I'm currently using, I love that I'm able to see how quick the conversations and letters actually are.<br />Anyway, enough rambling here :)Caddihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023813911383989084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730284892418965319.post-4423962221661308422014-07-10T23:05:25.306+02:002014-07-10T23:05:25.306+02:00Oh, so a spreadsheet like excel?

I used a list like that when I started postcrossing and I think I even wrote down the addresses each time and the reactions from the thank you note. Maybe you could do a post on your spreadsheet? I'd love to see it!Caddihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023813911383989084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730284892418965319.post-42880280673441920982014-07-10T23:03:31.071+02:002014-07-10T23:03:31.071+02:00I love that system!

Unfortunately, I don't think that would work for me - there are so many things on my desk, I think I'd lose a few letters from time to time - well, not exactly "lose" them, but having them turn up a few weeks later while organizing my clutter and realizing - oh darn, I think I still haven't answered this one! I have the same rule about the letters in my drawer though - no unanswered letters allowed there :)Caddihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023813911383989084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730284892418965319.post-21203948428163277912014-07-10T22:59:48.850+02:002014-07-10T22:59:48.850+02:00Yo te escribí una carta en 2012, pero parece que n...Yo te escribí una carta en 2012, pero parece que nunca la recibiste :( Hasta que te devolví el sello como lo querias.

When I have time to write, I sit down and as I finish them, I noted on the envelope the date I answer it. I keep the answered letters in a lovely large Paris box. When the clean envelope is empty, I am up to date.
