I feel like you guys give me too much credit :sweat_smile: You guys are the true magic element of the Happy Mail’s success :kissing_heart: I was inspired years ago by seeing other people share random Happy Mail and eventually I started sending my own, then I received some too :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: which made me want to send more… Then there were the holiday card exchanges that eventually lead to the craftalong. But it all started because of someone else’s kindness, the generosity of this community, a little bit of bravery from myself by putting myself “out there” more, a little nudging from some LC friends… and it’s success is all because of you wonderful people :heart:

I feel like @magpie told me to :laughing: but I can’t remember for sure… she’s often the little angel on my shoulder nudging me along :wink:

@Magpie is our LC angel!
Okay, let me rephrase that: Magpie is one of our LC angels!

I’m currently working on August themed stationery and writing the notes in the July themed cards.

I’m hoping things-G-d willing-will calm down starting September. My 17 yo will be getting a job and going to night school. DH and 19 yo daughter have an appointment this month to talk with college FA so hopefully she will be taking classes.

My brother was here for his second visit with me from this past Saturday afternoon till Tuesday morning. It was so much fun showing him places on LI that he had not seen before, even though he used to live here. He has plans to visit again next month. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And DH….(Thank you G-d!) is having his last two chemo treatments tomorrow and next week! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those of you that sent him cards or jokes or prayed for him.

Ummm…I have a request that I hope isn’t too much to ask.

I want to make a list of the people I’ve sent cards to already so I can send cards to different people next time. If you’ve received a card from me as part of this Happy Mail group, could you please reply and let me know? I’d really appreciate it. TYSM

(I’ll start the list with the ones I’m sure of. )

Autumn Showers Bring Quiet Cozy Hours & Recipe Exchange

Maybe you will use your quiet cozy hours for writing/typing up your favorite recipe? :thinking:

When sharing recipes please keep in mind that some Happy Mailers are under the legal drinking age and some may not drink regardless of age :wink: Similarly, when receiving recipes keep in mind that no one is trying to offend/poison you even if there are ingredients you don’t ingest or are allergic to :wink:

Yeah for the October theme :partying_face:
I’ve started working on the August cards but things are going super slowly. Maybe I’ll skip August. I kinda lost track during July. I still have some July cards here to write :see_no_evil:
