OK, I added a little drop down menu thingy at the bottom of the first post, just click on it to reference the prices that @susieoregon and @Magpie found :kissing_heart:

I’m making a poll! Ooooooh! Aaaaaaah! …Keep in mind that the themes are just suggestions and you can send anything you want :wink: Pick you’re favorites and try not to pick them all! lol. Poll closes in one week from now. I’ll link to the poll in the first post so you can think about it and find it again if it gets buried :slight_smile:

Our June Theme Should Be…
  • June Bugs
  • June Birds
  • June to the Moon
  • Hey June
  • Foody Juney

From @Renstar, your masterboard flower petals are so pretty!

Here’s the lot I sent today.


Half the cards I send are to folks not even in this swap, lol.

Having some trouble with loading my pics correctly oriented but wanted to post the ones that came out…

I got this lovely sunset from @PhoenixFireDesigns…I love the Gulf of Mexico and this is one reason why! Thanks!

Underneath, a lovely and nicely done floral card from @bluebird…lovely stationary and instructions as well underneath! What a clever idea to send a craft lesson! :slight_smile: Thanks…love your color palette on those flowers.

Next up from @bugaboo…how cute are those raindrops made from scrap paper!? She included a little wooden phoenix/griffin for me to use for something else!

Underneath, one of @Whistlefish’s gorgeous beehive paintings and some paper to use!

Finally, @saintcady sent a very happy card with the coolest rainy day themed wooden buttons and a lettuce craft book marker!

Wow…this was indeed a happy mail day for me…now I will spend some time planning on things to make, punching hearts out of the envelopes, and saving the stamps!

Those flowers are so pretty, are they marker and pen? Nice! And scratch and sniff, OMG, the nostalgia. Did y’all also have a sticker album with a puffy cover? LOL!

There was a little chat in another thread about starting a supplies exchange, or rather gift-along similar to this Happy Mail awesomeness. I started a topic, please take a look if you’re either searching for a supply or abundantly provisioned and wishing you had a way to pass some stuff along.

Here’s the mail I’ve been writing at my desk today, between scanning inventory, a very dull job indeed. Letters are way more fun.

LOL I think I was posting over there at the same time you were posting here! :joy:

Yay, glad you all are enjoying the happy mail and the scratch and sniff stickers! :smile:

Yes, these are pen and markers. :slight_smile: And yes! I don’t recall if it had a puffy cover or not, but I did have sticker books as a kid!
