Read When Letters

So I decided to jump on the band wagon and make the 

Read When Letters

Word of warning: This is VERY time consuming!

Make sure you start early so you can finish it before you send off your next package.

It was really hard for me to come up with enough ideas at first but after long hours of searching I found a post someone did about them and listed off like thirty different ideas! It was such a blessing, let me tell you. Or else Preston would've only gotten four letters. 

And that's just sad.

I ended up with 

nineteen

different letters.

 But after getting all my topics I decided that having just a single letter in there would be boring. And I came up with the idea to fill each envelope with all kinds of little things. Such as:

Pictures

Quotes

Scriptures

Funny Sayings

Love Sayings

Yeah I know it doesn't sound that much more exciting. But I promise it ended up way cute! Seriously. Anyway since I had to write nineteen different letters I decided to only make them a page each and I knew there was going to be lots of different things for him to look at and read. Then of course I decorated each envelope! That was like the best part! Haha just kidding but really.

Here are the different topics I used:

You Need a Kiss

You Need a Laugh

You Need a Hug

You Need a Smile

You Need a Little Encouragement

You Need To Hear From Me

You Are Feeling Homesick

You Are Missing Me

You Are Having Language Trouble

You Are Having Companion Trouble

You Are Stressed

You Are Feeling Unsuccessful

You Have Been Out 6 Months

You Have Been Out 1 Year

You Have Been Out 18 Months

You Are Coming Home

I Leave For My Mission

You Need a Few Memories

You Need To Know How Much I Love You

Here's a few examples of what I put inside each envelope...

You Need To Know How Much I Love You

You Need a Laugh

You Need a Few Memories

You Need a Little Encouragement

You Need a Hug

After I finished each one I tied them all together with a cute bow :)

This whole project was so much fun! It took me quite a while.. a couple weeks but totally worth all the hard work. I hope this post gives you ladies ideas for your Read When Letters :)

Happy Waiting!
