I have been getting SO much happy mail! Thanks everyone… it is always such a bright spot in my day. Wish I could reciprocate, but things are just so disorganized right now.
I’ve been going through everything we own and trying to get rid of at least half. In doing that task, I’ve run across so many old cards and letters (all of which I immediately put into my “keep” pile.)
It reminds me how much mail people used to send each other. (Similar to the amount of happy mail I’m currently receiving from all of you.) It’s cool! Thanks again, so so much!
I need to get going on some May items here! I attempted something while working one day…I thought I had a great idea and enough time NOPE had to come off mute and speak while my dismal failure was actually making noise and I pretended I was double muted while attempting to shut something off LOL
Back to the drawing board and send outs!

I received a pretty “grow” card from @Reinikka today!
If I missed anyone let me know! If you want your Birthday to be listed with the day of the month let me know what it is and if you want it listed without let me know!
If you only want to get a Birthday gift for me that’s ok I wont tell the other June babies
(Joking of course!!! )
I created more HM this weekend. Hoping to stick it in the post tomorrow. Would have done it today but it’s blowing a hooley and been raining all day - Of course - it’s a Bank Holiday here.
I’m really sorry for anyone that struggles to read my spidercrawl writing, I didn’t realise quite how much I don’t write these days and am finding that I’m having to relearn formulating my words properly. I’m pretty damn good at spelling so when I see my words missing letters etc. it’s quite weird!
This has been a good challenge and kept me away from the screen at the weekend, except to get inspiration!
I’m super impressed by those of you that make batches of a theme, I don’t seem to be able to do this one!
@Whistlefish, thank you for your letter. The paper is indeed beautiful. I remember my Grandma giving stationery as a present when I was young, I wish I still got that as a regular gift!
I had a busy weekend then was hit with a massive headache this afternoon …But I managed to get two more May Flower cards ready to send, just have to make it to the mailbox… Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive
@Renstar OMG I feel the pain. My hand writing is horrible! I was tortured as a child and since, passive aggressively, developed really bad hand writing. I can’t spell either so you have a leg up on me there!
@Edel. ohhh that’s beautiful! Reminds me of the arts and crafts movement very William Morris inspired with a twist!
I got my first happy mail! @bluebird sent me a great letter, art work (that I had to take off of my fridge so I could take this picture ), scratch and sniff stickers, and a few others. Thank you!!
Gotta say, I was grinning opening this and reading the letter so this craftalong definitely lives up to its name!
Has anyone other than @Ewulotta received anything from me yet? I’ve sent out quite a few but I don’t see peeople receiving them. Hope they’re not getting lost somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic! Tomorrow is my day off and I’m planning to make a few more
Of course, that makes sense - it’s wonderful to see lots of pics of the things that people have made, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to upload a pic of every piece of mail. It’s happy mail, not obligation mail
No upset here! I do like knowing my mail got to where it’s going but I don’t expect everyone to post pictures of everything they get.
Yup! 100%
I’ve started taking more pictures of the cards I make so that I can put them in their own post on LC and I’ve seen a few others do that as well. I try to wait for everything to be delivered but with international snail mail I sometimes post before everyone gets theirs… Everyone is also encouraged to post pictures of your process and finished cards here I know I love seeing them!
