I’d like to send you a card, geekgirl, but I don’t have your address.

So I’ve searched the thread and listed the cards I have ready to mail and I have a list of 20 people I’ve sent to at least once. I’ve PMed some people who I don’t think I’ve sent to for their address.

I received more lovely mail from @Amfkinney
Thank you again.

This has been a great start to the week.

And in answer to your question, carpet decisions have not moved forward​:roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

A good reminder for me to get a move on!!

Maybe they are trying to crack the secret message, because who would send random old magazines in a re-used envelope as a gift? They probably think some 007 plot is more likely than someone wanting to cut out words out of magazines to make art.

Mwuha! I guess you’re right.
I finally got a message that they will send it through to me.

Thank goodness!

Cheesy English magazines are really not worth that much effort!!

Happy Mail feel good moment of the day :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Back in the early days of this pandemic (five, ten, one thousand years ago…) I started sending Happy Mail to people I vaguely knew in the real world through community theater. One turned into a nice pen pall :love_letter: I had run lights for a show she was in and we became facebook friends even though we’d only trade greetings in passing and I think there was one cast & crew lunch outing we both went to… anyway… Today we met in person for coffee and it was really nice :slight_smile: I haven’t had a social life (outside of work/volunteering) in about six/seven years! So it’s kinda nice to be making a friend after so long :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: And I have Happy Mail to thank for that :heart:

I love happy mail and this happy thread, but I’m having to face up to the fact that I haven’t been able to spend much time on it since I started at my new job. I’ve updated my info, just to let you all know …

Since I started a full time job again, I have struggled to keep up with my happy mail alongside my other projects, and I’m not able to send often atm. I’ll still try to send things from time to time, but it’s likely to be veeeerrryy sslloooowww … :snail: :love_letter:

You know you don’t have to ‘keep up’, right?
Sending some Happy Mail every once in a while is okay.
You don’t have to send mail to everyone, every month.
I send one or two at a time. Sometimes there’s days between them, sometimes weeks.
I also don’t follow themes, I just do my own thing.
Keeps ME happy too.
It shouldn’t feel like an obligation.

And then I went on vacation and am now catching up on this thread and everything really. Been here for five days now and have been doing lots of relaxing (read: sleeping).
