I stumbled across this fabulous idea when I was looking for a way to organize all of my letters. They were just piling up in my desk draw to the point where they weren’t fitting. I ended up having to take them all out of the draw and had them piling high on my window seal. I didn’t know what to do with them. I didn’t want to throw them…
