I am sure I will! Patience, sister :blush:.

Honestly, I love that I am still getting mail every.single.day, lol. But we are in & out & it’s gonna pile up on the porch!

I have 7 replies I wrote instead of packing. I couldn’t help it, I love all your letters! But it’s going to be a long night, haha.

Hello all!

I’m officially “pausing” my participation in the Happy Mail Craftalong. I still have plans to write back the letters I’ve gotten. Sorry for being a bit MIA - big life changes happening here! My mental health is wackadoo, med changes ensued. Also, I’m going back to college! I’m switching careers! I’m kicking these kids out of the house. (Not truly…they’re just going back to daycare/school and after homeschooling and SAHM-ing I am PUMPED to be alone. Lol.)

School starts in a couple weeks so I’m doing a lot of running around trying to get things sorted and figured out. I’m nervous my online shop won’t cover the cost of daycare so I have to step up my game.

Thank you all for all the lovely mail. I truly appreciate every single piece that graces my mailbox.

@Reinikka I’m tagging you here so you can update the list that I’m on “pause.” Thank you! :slight_smile:

I just mailed out a pile of domestic and international happy mail yesterday from June. I have July cards ready, just need to write them. Still need to post photos.

@Whistlefish, don’t worry and just take real good care of yourself!
You took a wonderful step in returning to college and I totally understand how you will love to no longer be full time in charge of the kids. You go, woman!
(And you can’t stop my Happy Mail that is on its way to you, LOL.)

Thanks! :blush: I overcame my “not a papercrafter” fears and made a few with different misheard lyrics.

I have been receiving so much happy mail which has been keeping my days bright! I was absolutely dumped on at work causing 6am-9pm days all week and going NUTS!!! I would love to work on some but the kids and house come first in the few hours I haven’t been working. I will get them out there though! Its a personal goal!!!

oh, I’m glad your card got there (and the rest is such fun to see!)

I’m intrigued by the jigsaw puzzle pieces!

My fault…
They are NOT an actual puzzle, but they are for crafting.
I ordered an impossible puzzle (of my own design) and decided the pieces could be used for crafting. But forgot to explain. LOL

They are really bright and cute - I’m going to enjoy using them in mixed media things :grinning:
