Received today from @wittychild

A fun glitter card, and a “choose your own adventure” gift - bookmark or friendship bracelet (not sure yet which I’ll do haha)

I’ll edit to add pics later. Is there some trick to attaching photos? It usually takes HOURS of trying to get them to actually upload (lots of starting over as they freeze in the processing stage)

Also hope all my cards make it. Wittychild’s comment made me worry about some of mine.

Ack! I’m sorry to spread the paranoia like that. I think the postal system is just slow, honestly.

It usually takes me less than 10 seconds to upload photos so it might be something with your internet connection. I have had it take longer sometimes where it sits there and doesn’t look like it’s doing anything for a while though. When that happens I switch to adding one photo to my post at a time which seems to help.

It sounds like your wifi. Try going to a place with free wifi and see if there is a difference.

I received two wonderful cards.
The first was from @EclecticDreamer - She sent me a beautiful mixedmedia card with a lovely fabric heart and an amazing watercolor bookmark. I love the metallics on the bookmark. You did find the perfect gold!

The second card is from @LindyBlues - The book on the front of the card is perfect for me! The stickers are cute and the ATCoin was just the inspiration I needed.

I also wanted to share the wax seal! So cute!!

It could also be your browser. For some reason I can’t upload photos in Firefox on my phone, but Chrome works fine. (& Firefox works fine on my other devices :woman_shrugging:)

I received from @whatthepuck
Some of the strips fell off in the mail and they’ve gone missing! I’ve been sick and my husband may have pitched them without me knowing. Imagine it with two other cute valentines inspired ribbons!

And this plethora of cuteness from @Edel
The wee hoop is so adorable!!! And the kitty pin is the best!

I use duckduckgo. One pic at a time seems to work better so I’ll have to remember to stop trying to do it all at once.

I’ve got TWO to post today, folks! First up is this beautiful mixed media goodness from @geekgirl!

The beautiful card!

The bookmarks and a little heart! I’m always thrilled to get bookmarks because I collect them. These will definitely go into rotation.

…and this beautiful little affirmation box! I haven’t assembled it yet. It’s such a clever thing to add to a letter.


Thank you @geekgirl for all my magnificent goodies! I wish pictures did them justice because all the textures and dimension IRL are divine.

Speaking of clever things to add to a letter/card…
@Bunny1kenobi send me this beautiful card! There is shimmery golden goodness.

…and the inside has this cute little magnet! I never thought about adding magnets to happy mail. It’s such a smart, easy thing to do. I have magnet “paper” already. I may have to think about making something like that.


Thank you @Bunny1kenobi! I will proudly put the magnet up on my fridge next to my other magnetic swappy goodies.

And since it’s February 13th today…HAPPY OFFICIAL GALENTINES DAY! :women_with_bunny_ears::sparkling_heart::muscle:

[Edited to add in: they cancelled @geekgirl’s stamp on the back of the envelope so I have the cutest pristine manatee stamp in my collection now. :star_struck:]

I had a happy mail day so I have some more Galentines to add to the already awesome gallery!

I get so overwhelmed with all the goodies so I’ve just clicked love buttons so far in the gallery…

First a card and dino magnet from @jeanneleigh Thank you!

I will embrace the mothman way and Live Lurk Love!

Dino has shiny spots that were tricky to capture.

Next is this card and magnet from @Bunny1kenobi Thank you!

We have a shiny theme here :slight_smile: I like the speckled paper behind the heart.


Finally the cute magnet that was included!

I got some cards! It’s been a crazy week, dealing with lots of health stuff, so I’m sorry that this is a bit tardy.

From @Annchen, this vintage-y delight, along with a lovely bookmark and ephemera:

From @whatthepuck I received this pretty collage, along with a dainty and shimmery wire wrap bracelet:

From @wittychild in the Great White North (hello, fellow Canuck :wave:), I got a super sparkly balloon bouquet and a “hearty” bookmark/friendship bracelet!

I haven’t received my last 2 cards yet. I’m going out of town and will check with the post office if they aren’t here by Tuesday.

I LOVE everyone’s cards and beautiful small items, just spectacular! It’s been a very busy week for me, so I haven’t had a lot of time to post, but I’m looking forward to a more leisurely gallery re-read soon.

But I do have to share my amazing parcel from @Edel before I race off out for the day today. We decided to make the most of the international postage and added an extra personal swap. I received the most wonderful package of treasures, and just in time for Galentine’s too!

First, the gorgeous card, bookmark, and teeny sweet trinkets, so lovely! (and stickers and confetti too :grin:)

I am always using mug rugs, and always needing more, so this is perfect! I can’t decide what side I like best, the whale shark or the chicken :whale2: :balance_scale: :rooster:

AND, an absolutely beautiful piece of original art, so elegant!

And that’s not even the best part. When @Edel asked me for a favourite quote, I was secretly hoping I might get to see a little of her spectacular calligraphy and illumination - this was way beyond what I imagined :sparkling_heart:

I utterly adore this, and everything you sent. Thank you so very much, my friend!!

Happy Galentine’s everyone!

I received two beautiful cards in the mail yesterday!

From @jeanneleigh:


I love the dino magnet! I’ve got a burgeoning collection of magnets from LC’ers, and this will happily join the others.

From @whatthepuck:


The pinks in the bracelet are just perfect! I showed my mom, and she’s drooling over it too. :heartpulse:

Also, it cracks me up that the word “buttinsky” made it into my card.

Thank you both!
