I wanted to post a separate post from the last one just to say that I “arted” a lot of blank cards and envelopes last Friday and just need to find time to write in them. It was a lot of fun and this time I used some stamps. I have a beautiful moon stamp, but it did not stamp well on the cards. I used it anyway. I had more moon themed stickers than I thought I did, which were used on the cards too. Tomorrow is laundry day so maybe I can write the notes in them on Thursday and mail on Friday?

@Whistlefish, could you add the info about your daughter to your intro?
In my spreadsheet I link everyone’s name to their intro in this thread, so I can easily look it up.

The taste is a bit different between the 2 but almost no one will really notice. I think its just the US produces far more corn than sugar beets which are farmed more in the UK is all. I find international baking mesmerizing! Like in Italy most my pastries were never even close to as sweet as the US versions. I cannot do cannoli shells filled with frosting like the US bakeries usually have UGH!!
I have some happy mail opening to catch up on. I have been saving them up for a free moment to actually enjoy them. Its been a bit crazy here

Got the cutest little card from @Bugaboo!
Check out the cutest little astronauts.
Edit: now I’m annoyed that I used “cutest little” twice but seriously the card and stickers are super cute.
