Who loves happy mail? Sending, receiving, plotting, etc ![]()
Happy Mail is any mail sent/received with the sole purpose of making someone happy
For this craftalong we’ll focus on crafted happy mail. Some crafty happy mail might be a handmade postcard, decorated envelope, handmade card or stationery, small crafted gift, etc.
Each month we will have a theme to inspire us and I’ll keep track of Birthdays also. Please note that the theme is just for fun if you want to try, but if you’re not feeling inspired or you want to do your own thing that’s A-Okay too!
If you have a birthday in the month we’re in or the next month you can post in the thread or send me a message.
Share your address with me if you like and I’ll share it with anyone that wants to send you a surprise Happy Mail / Birthday Wish! (If you trust me to share your address please make it abundantly clear in a private message. Say something like “I give you permission to share my address with anyone that requests it for the Happy Mail craftalong”.) Or you can ask people to contact you directly ![]()
When you first join the craftalong please consider sharing something about yourself and the kind of happy mail you enjoy sending/receiving
I’ll try to keep the Happy Mailers & Birthday lists current. Please message me if I need to change anything ![]()

All happy mail is given freely without the expectation of mail being sent in return. Ask each other for addresses, feel free to say “no”, and you share them at your own risk. This is not a swap! Lettuce Craft and myself take no responsibility if someone fails to send or delays sending anything There are no “points” or swap credit, this is all just for fun ![]()

Take a quick look and make sure you understand before jumping in! I don’t want any hurt feelings over here!
I live in Washington state and I love sending random gifts that I think someone will enjoy, random ATCs, and pen pal letters. I love receiving pen pal letters, cards, anything! I’ve been getting to know some people through letters recently and I find it more enjoyable and personal than facebook 

(I just don’t like Pepe Le Pew [he’s kinda a creep, lol]) and used to dream about having one for a pet, I have a small collection of Moomin stuff and along with that I love anything that has to do with Finland
. I also love jellyfish imagery and artsy fish
have been growing on me this past year. Fox things remind me of my kiddo because I used that motif when he was a baby, but he has his own opinions now. Some of his favorite things are rainbow anything, stars & “outer pace”, eggs, cats, pizza, pineapples, Minecraft, Paw Patrol, Baby Shark, and PJ Mask. He’s preschool age and also likes helping Mommy make gelli prints. I’ll freely share his name and age in a letter but prefer to keep that info off the public side of the internet.
lol… I think I better stop there or there won’t be anything for me to write about in letters!
