i have a friend who joined the army last month and is currently in basic training. yesterday i finally received her mailing address, and was disappointed to find out i couldn't send her anything but letters.

now, this poses a problem for me. i am not a letter-writing girl. to me, dressing up any written correspondence consists of writing on something other than a leftover burger king napkin.

now i really want to send her a bang-up letter....i want it to be so damn beautiful it will make her pee her pants. so i'm trying to avoid the pretty store-bought stationary, but am coming up at a loss for what else to do.

does anyone have any ideas? she's a HUGE david bowie fan (one of the reasons we got along so well!), and i know she can't even listen to his cd's there, so i'd like to incorporate him somehow.

thanks in advance!
