Fun letter ideas

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend left for bootcamp on april 5th, 4 days ago and i write him a letter every day but they all just look soo boring. We are a fun couple and we are always laughing and making jokes so seeing black or blue ink on a plain white piece of paper just seems so boring and so not like us! I want to send him fun things that he will laugh and get a big smile on his face when he sees but i cant think of anything! Any one have any ideas on how to spice up my letters?

Oh and one thing i thought of was to send his letters in bright colored envelopes... sound like a good idea?

Love some of these ideas. Thanks for starting this post Cait.

I need to go pick up a local weekly paper that comes out. He loves to read a couple of the comics in it and a "Strange but True" section, didn't want him to miss out on those while he's gone.

I love the hand trace idea. I was planning on making him the same thing for Father's Day this year that I did for the last one, a finger painting of the kids' hands.

I was also going to go out today to look for stationary. I like the idea of the colored envelopes. That way he would know when he got mail...
