Sometime in the middle of the night

[conuly]

When all were asleep, my home was mysteriously moved from its nice, temperate slot in NYC to a very cold part of the Yukon. Brr! And so, as the subway doesn't run all the way up to the Yukon, and it's positively frigid outside, we're not going to the library after all. We can do that next week. Instead, I'll stay home. And bake. Warm me up a little.

We'll also write a return note to one of Ana's penpals. We sent out three (form) letters (she dictated, I typed), and we've gotten two in return... from the same person, who is very enthused. Aww :)

But I'm realizing that what Ana really needs to make penpals even more fun is some pretty stationery. We used to have a lot of it, and now I can't find any, even our ubiquitous pansies. I don't know.

So if anybody has a link to some awesome stationery (that's paper, not notecards, if possible) at a good price, or has a half-used box that they don't like the design of, or thinks they can get some off of their local freecycle, poke me, I'll pass you my address and pay shipping so long as it isn't too exorbitant. (Shipping to the Yukon probably is, but maybe by next week we'll be in sunny Florida or something. Hard to tell in New York!)

Also, if anybody reading this is going "Wow, what my kiddo really needs is an Ana penpal!", you can always poke me for that. Which reminds me, Ana was waiting with bated breath, sayga, for another video of Kira, so now she has to see it and type something up. Your kid is a very local star around here, LOL!

So did she see the cat video and the baking video? Kira made another one, a short one, on planting plants. She's demanding to make these things left and right. I am going to run out of hard disk space!

I seem to have an assortment of interesting writing and/or printer paper, some relatively subtle abstract patterns and some ridiculously bright colors. The only lined stationery that comes immediately to hand was made for air mail, and has a Japanese print of a wave at the bottom left. Does any of that seem appealing?

(I won't ask for money for this, since it's been sitting unused in my desk for years. And I can throw in a few pretty stickers if you'd like, or think she would.)

That all seems perfectly useful. If she doesn't use them, I can always donate them to the school or the library.

And thank you on the stickers offer as well... I'll say "yes" because stickers are awesome, but don't tell my sister because stickers are also evil.

OK, send me a mailing address. If you don't want to post it here, use the LJ private message thing or email me at redbird [at] livejournal [dot] com.
