Do you decorate your letter with stickers?
I've recently started to do it, I think it's a great idea! {thumb2}
Do you write in bright colours?
Not really, usually I write in black or blue ballpoint, now I've just started to use green, too :D .
What colour paper do you use?
I use special stationery papers with various pictures and motives on them - I have quite a lot different papers and I choose a special paper for everyone I'm writing to :D .
What size paper do you use?
Mostly A5 papers, but I write on both sides of it.
Do you do anything else?
Well, I handwrite all of my letters, sign them personally, as well...nothing very unique :D Oh, sometimes I draw a small four-leaved clover for luck at the bottom of my letter :mrgreen:

Just a bit unusual. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever made the effort to contact you?
I include my Email address and phone number on my letterhead along with my address. I've gotten several emails from celebrities this way. Plus it easy for them to jot a quick note to let me know that there sending out my items. {thumb2}

It is a good idea to include your email address. I rarely remember to do it though. I'll have to just get into a habit of writing it under my address at the top of the letter, it just never crosses my mind at the time!

Sometimes I have stickers of the celeb I'msending to so I put that on the letter. I stick some shiny stars and butterfles on the envelope and letter to make it stand out :lol:

Do you write in bright colours?
I always write my name, my address and the celeb name in bright colours :D

What colour paper do you use?
I use white paper with lines on. I decorate the letter with butterflies, stars, love hearts etc so that makes it bright {up}

What size paper do you use?
A4 :razz:

Do you do anything else?
I have sent Q&A's to 2 celebs before. When I wrote to Jacqueline Wilson I drew her a picture and got my best success {thumb2}

I've used stickers to put on the envelope, but not on the letter itself. Instead I draw a doodle up one side of the letter.

Do you write in bright colours?
Goodness, no. I'm a teacher and I HATE it when my students do that because it hurts my eyes. I only ever write in blue or black ink.

What colour paper do you use?
White paper. Sometimes it's lined, sometimes it's plain paper that I've written on.

What size paper do you use?
A4, 8.5x11 inch

Do you do anything else?
I have designed my own paper on the computer and printed that out and written on it, but not so often.
Just little doodles.

If you can't draw, you can always buy a cheap stencil to trace and colour in. :)

Yes.
If you send a SASE you would have a better chance of getting a reply. I always send a SASE with my requests.

Wifi Dude it does affect your chances of a reply. If you have already paid postage they can quickly sign an autograph for you and post it straight away instead of having to buy stamps themselves. Its also ideal VV this way too. Plus its more polite, they are more likely to send you an autograph if you have paid postage.
