2001 and 2002 Family letters

**Valerie** · 09-07-2005, 10:39 AM

Hi, folks,

If anyone is interested, I have both the 2001 and 2002 family letters saved as word documents, and a lot of questions that people are asking on some of these threads are addressed by them. I would be glad to share them with you if you are interested. I don't think I can post them online because my guess is that they are copyrighted, but sharing one on one would probably be all right. Anyone know if this is so?

Peace, Valerie

I never even heard of these "family Letters." I would like to read them. Would you e-mail them to me?

I don't know anything about copyrights, though. So only if it's OK.

I'll pm you my e-mail addy, K?

Hi, Jamee,

After Amy D. stopped publishing her monthly newsletter, she did a once-a-year update for a few years that people could have sent to them for $1.00 and a SASE. I still have the texts of two of those years, and they are fairly lengthy and comprehensive letters. Some folks have wondered how her kids handled this lifestyle as they grew older, and this will help clarify that picture as well, since in one letter her oldest is getting ready for college, a couple of others are in high school, etc.

There are a few folks who have pm'ed me with your emails; since the letters are stored on my other computer, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get them off to you. But I'll do that ASAP.

Peace,

I am interested in reading them also Valerie. I'll send you a PM.

**MandiDawn** · 09-08-2005, 10:36 AM

I would really like to read them also. If I can figure out how to PM, I'll send you my email address

Hi, folks, I sent the letters out to ten of you who requested them; there was one person who didn't include their email address, but I have sent you a private message asking for it; so hopefully I can get this out to you. Anyone else that would like the letter?

Peace,

Thank you Valerie! Do you know if she still does this? I mean all the way into 2005?

Very cool. I'd love to get a copy.

**sarathom** · 09-09-2005, 02:13 PM

I would love to read those!!!

**pepper1** · 09-09-2005, 05:41 PM

I would love a copy myself

**Valerie** · 09-10-2005, 11:32 PM

Jamee, I believe she stopped doing these a year or two ago; they were just more than she wanted to continue doing. For all the rest who would like a copy, just private message me with your email addresses, and I'll be glad to get them out to you.

Peace,

Thank you Valerie! I printed mine off and read them that evening. Now they sit upside down in my printer for use of the other side of the paper

I really enjoyed them though, thanks again.

I would like a copy too... I think Amy D's was one of the first frugal books I read.

**Valerie** · 09-12-2005, 01:14 PM

I just sent out another batch of letters, so if you requested a copy prior to today, you should have a copy. If not, let me know and I will resend.

Enjoy!
