A few weeks ago, I created 'Cartas de Amor', which means "Love Letters" in Spanish. It's a collection of personal love letters from 18 bloggers, including myself. In addition, there's a whole bunch of gift ideas, delicious desserts & more! The reason I decided to do it in a magazine format was because I really felt it would look much better than in a blog post.
I hope you'll enjoy it & tweet about it, add it to Facebook & share it with others.
My guy has always been a ROMANTIC throughout our relationship & so I wanted to capture the idea of what LOVE was for other people. There's something special about a handwritten note that far outweighs any email - taking the time write on a piece of paper is refreshing. It's truly an act of love to write a love letter. In fact most of the great poets did it this way.
It is such a blessing to have all these women share LOVE letters with all of us! Cartas De Amor is now live!!!! Please take a look here.
Please feel free to BLOG about it & if you do, let me know! I will re-tweet your post to my followers! Thanks!
Wow this is awesome! great creative way. I loved what you have done with those letters. You are an unlimited inspiration for me Jen <3

ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I had the most beautiful note from my husband that said "casate conmigo" (marry me?).
ReplyDeleteI treasured it and carried with me every single day in my wallet. Sadly I was stolen and my note was gone :(
I always regret not framing it. But still it's my heart!
