    This is so cute, my god it is the most adorable thing one can think of. Totally appropriate for our love birds out there. Imagine sending love letters to your loved ones everyday through this services, Imagine the tons of tiny envelopes and letters that will be collected. It's totally insane and I must applaud the guts of opening a business on the foundation of an idea that just popped out. It's completely unbelievable. I am browsing the pictures this instant again again. Will see them once again before leaving the post. Great job!
