Wow, between sniffing the purple paper and eating the paste, its amazing that we are still alive!

As long as there are little girls, there will be pen pals, and stationery which as been SWAK. As a matter of fact, I just bought two boxes of stationery last night for my "big" girls, my daughter and our foreign exchange student. They have promised to send each other "real" mail, because they know that e-mail just isn't the same!
