I found these in my mailbox from @geekgirl today and “squeeeed” audibly! I was in love with her hearts when she posted them a few weeks ago and am so excited to have some of them! I’m going to make them into bunting to hang on my wall :smiley:

Hi back! I guess I am easy to miss here as I pop in rarely and post even less. But I’m missing my crafty friends and I love this thread, so I’ll try to stick to this now. This is a lovely board to be, even just reading! I want to do better about not just being happy about receiving happy mail and messages, but sending/returning some as well.

You know it’s not a swap, right?
So don’t feel obliged to send mail in return.

I know, I know. I want to though! I’ve received so much mail and I’ve been meaning to send letters or cards anyway, so here is an excellent place to come back to.

Not necessarily “in return” – it’s more that I have lots of little pieces and ideas floating around here that I always meant to send to various folks that are here too, for the most part.

Catching up…and packing up…I am taking my address book and cards with me on my long trip…hope to get some time in the car addressing envelopes to a bunch of people because I have been so spoiled with mail!

From @magpie, a cute kimono people card and a nice note inside! From @Amfkinney , the punny garden card, and the cutest watermelon card from @Ewulotta !

From @Smmarrt , who is not officially in this craftalong, a bunch of goodies including the smoothest paper I have ever felt…thanks…I am not sure I can cut them up into journal pages but I will! Using the good stuff…and want to try using those napkins after watching a few videos on how to do it!

and finally, from @PrincessP , a bunch of cool space/moon things, including the wonderful card. She also sent one of her embroidered badges!

I colored a page today but really didn’t care for it…I just am not that great at coloring in the lines…so I doodled it up and cut it up to make a few notecards…lol

Thanks, everyone! I will be back in the game with the August theme!

super excited to get happy mail from you and
@LadybugsAndBees !
Barbara, the postcards and sticky notes are fab,
and Cindy, I am thrilled with the outline of a scribble for me to finish by filling in! Very sweet of you to get me over the scribbling hump, LOL


(love the stamps, too! they may make an appearance on a masterboard soon?)
