When I was in grammar school I think it maybe 4th grade we were learning about letter writing and we had to choose a celebrity, a company, and a family member to write to. I didn't really think anything of it and definitely wasn't expecting any replies. I was shocked one day to hear that I got mail (As a ten year old I never once recieved anything int he mail besides for magazines). The company I wrote to (some sticker company) sent some free stickers and cool letter and the celebrity I wrote to (Rosie O Donnell) sent an autographed pic and 2 koosh ball pencils. That was probably the moment I realized that recieving mail is like a mini-Christmas lol. Anyway, so I started writing to celebrities on and off for the next few years and I recently started again regularly (at 17).

maybe I was bored haha I don't know. Uh I guess I started because I watch alot of sports mainly hockey and football, so it's kinda cool to me to have kind of like a piece of them in a way.
Yeah not much of a story. It feels good to get things back.

I wanted to write to Devon Werkheiser, just a fan letter. So I did a google search on him for his address. I stumbled upon this site and I found out could get an autograph from him! I was so excited! Istarted working on a letter and a little gift right away. The best part was when I found that big yellow envelope in my mailbox!

Then, after that, I thought, "Wow, I can really get stuff back from writing to my favorite stars!" And it just grew from there! So far, I have 5 autographs; 2 being gifts for my family! My sis also has 2 autos! It's a fun hobby, and you feel kinda connected to celebrities! It's so much fun!
