National Stationery Week -- Let's Celebrate the Power of Paper!

Jill GerbrachtComment

Celebrate Snail Mail Magic with Me! 💌

Did you know it’s National Stationery Week? As someone who just completed a year-long handwritten note journey (yep, 366 days of heartfelt words and sentiments!), I couldn't let this week pass without a little fanfare.

To celebrate, I’m debuting something special:
The Jill’s Go-To Pack
A curated set of 8 notecards featuring the 4 designs I reached for again and again during my letter-writing year. Whether it was a thinking-of-you, I appreciate you or a spontaneous "you’ve got this!"—these cards carried my words with just the right vibe.

Why do I love them 🥰?
Because they’re versatile, cheerful, and just the right nudge to get you writing that note you've been meaning to send.

🎨 Jill’s Go-To Pack – 8 notecards, 4 delightful, all-purpose designs I reached for all year long.

🦋 1. Butterfly Trio – “Just for You”
My go-to for thoughtful, anytime notes. Sweet, simple, and perfect for any occassion, especially a “just thinking of you” moment that flutters right into someone’s heart.

🌸 2. Floral Heart – “From the Heart”
This beauty was made for meaningful messages. Whether I was writing to an old friend or sending a dose of encouragement, this card wrapped my words in love.

👯‍♀️ 3. Hello Friend – “Little Things, Big Love”
Bright, playful, and bursting with charm. A note with this card always brought smiles—and reminded me how fun it is to connect just because.

❌⭕ 4. XOXO – “Hugs & Kisses”
Short and sweet, this one says it all. When I wanted to send warmth and love, XOXO did the trick.

So grab your favorite pen, pour something soothing, and celebrate National Stationery Week with a little handwritten joy.

✍️ Put pen to paper. Make someone’s day. Start a ripple of connection.

With paper love,
Jill 💕

P.S. I’m offering a special discount on this card set this week! You can take 20% off this pack with code JILLSGOTO through Friday, May 23rd.

Wrapping Up my 2024 Note Writing Journey

Jill GerbrachtComment

Last year (I cannot believe today is January 1st), I committed to writing a note to someone every day since January 1, 2024…and yesterday marked my 366th note (accounting for Leap Year of course)!

It’s been a remarkable and incredible experience with so many unexpected surprises and connections along the way. I have no words for how meaningful it has been and how much JOY it has brought me.

I’ve put a lot of thought into who I would send my last note to, and how meaningful this note was to me.  While I’m keeping this to myself, I can share that it felt like the perfect way for me to close this chapter.

my last note!

While this isn’t really the end of my note writing journey—in many ways, it’s just the beginning! In the days ahead, I’ll be sharing more about what I’ve learned and how it’s inspired me to create something special for anyone who wants to experience similar connections through handwritten note writing.

I hope you’ll follow along and stay tuned for what’s next…I’m pretty excited about it!
