What do you write your letters on?

I thought this would be a cool topic. :D Do you write your letters on regular notebook paper, computer paper, or something else?
I bought some fun stationary because I was sick of using regular paper. I wanted to send something fun. Sometimes I'll add color to it too, with markers. Around the edges, or just fun symbols at the side, like stars or swirls. I try to make it stand out, so that it looks like I put a lot of effort into it.

I just use regular white computer paper, but I always decorate it with a funky border.

I buy paper with funky edges at the only a buck store lol then change it up every letter I send out I sometimes use stickers also if for say I was sending to Miley and since there is Hannah stickers out I would use them on the letter to make it stand out :)

As a strictly IP collector I really don't know how this works, so out of curiosity do you guys ever type up and print out letters or do you only do by hand?

Here's an example of what my letterhead looks like that I use on all my requests. designed it in Creeting card factory express which is the same program I design all my custom cards on too. :D

I changed around all my personal information on this example, but you can still get the general idea. {up} Let me know what you think! :D

And at WOODMO, I handwrite EVERY request I send out as I like to make it as personal as possible. Typed letters to me just resemble form letters and celebs don't appreciate those as much as a handwritten one. Beleive I know, I've gotten around 50 replies back with handwritten responses thanking me for taking the time to write. {up}

I used to use reguler paper only coloured but about 6 months ago i found some really awesome and unique paper made for letter writing and it comes in diff cool designs like one looks like a old map along the edges and ones like a scroll and i have a few more designs. The paper i have now reminds me of letter paper from hundreds of years ago & it makes writing the letters funner.

Nice letter head there Ryan also I do think your right about the handwritten letters vs the typed letter. The reason I dont do handwritten letters is due to my hand writeing (which I need to work on badly lol) my hand writeing looks like something you would see from a 2 year old. Heck my 5 year old sons hand writeing is nicer then mine lol. But there is a FEW letters I have done that have have been handwritten. With mine I have the form there then I add in other stuff for that person to make it more personal the letter I have sent Kelli Pickler is VERY personal but it is also typed due to me not crying all over the paper while writeing it lol due to the fact my life growing up was ALOT like Kelli's life. But anyway with my letters I type them up and leave a spot at the bottom with my name below it to sign so I hand sign each letter I send out kind of like an autograph also lol :lol:.

You guys give me great ideas. I love your letterhead Ryan. I think I might start using stickers. I hand write all my letters too. I think typing it looks too professional. It's more personal to write it.
