By the way, everyone will be getting Christmas stamps on their envelopes because I bought like 5 books of forever ones a couple years ago before the price went up. LOL So Happy Holidays everyone!

Great! I was going to send one anyway but didn’t want you to think I was nuts if you had no idea why…lol…
I also missed our new member, BugaBoo!!! I will add her to my address book!
@PhoenixFireDesigns–lol…I still have stamps from the 1990’s…I am going to have to look them up because I have no idea what the denomination is…my supply of International stamps should be here by Friday, I hope! I also bought a few other designs as I only have a roll of forever flags!

I hadn’t counted yet but I knew we exploded with new people! So much happy 
Me! But I think you already know that 
I’ll get around to replying to your last one sooooooon…
Yes, don’t make it “work”! I try to let everyone know when I receive from them but I won’t be taking pictures of every little thing I get (I hope everyone understands!) I do appreciate everything but I don’t always have time for an organized photo shoot 
I’m also going to start little batches. I like sharing with everyone, but there are a lot of you now! lol I’ve re-re-re-worked my notes for you all so I’ll start rotating who I send to. So everyone should have more or less the same from me (not counting pen pal letters)
Hahahaha, happy holidays back at ya! 
I sent a few things out yesterday and I was going to send more today but my headache won out 
…this dang thing will not go away!!! I’ve had it since Saturday 
It’s not a full on migraine, but it is kicking my bee-hind! I’ll try again to send some more tomorrow

I’ve had two days of very happy mail. Today was this hysterical one from @Whistlefish so funny! And I love the inside too (any your writing is lovely- mine is so scrawly)
And yesterday I got an awesome package from @Magpie I’m not sure which thread it should go in, but since it made me so happy I’m putting it here.
She sent me a lovely note, with this gorgeous mushroom , it has a magnet on it, so it’s currently on my fridge, but it’ll get added to my hoop wall (when I get the other hoops unpacked and have a wall to put it on)
And she sent me the most thoughtful things-two craft kits, for my current chaos of house moving. For when I can’t find my supplies and don’t have a craft room, but need to make something.
The first is a collaborative project between us, she started a hoop and send me floss (some of her grandma’s floss!!) and a backing, and even a needle and thread puller. This is going to be great because I started crochet so would have something to do with my hands-but it’s vanished in the move.
And if that weren’t loveliness enough, she also sent me a bunch of papers, lots of masterboards, she’s challenged me to turn them into a collage. But that’s not all! On the back of each piece of paper is a little note a vignette from her life. She suggested that I can either read them all, and then collage, or save the notes to “nibble” at over time. I’m nibbling.

@whistlefish does indeed have such lovely pensmanship…it would take me hours to write so beautifully! The card is funny…
@magpie is always there in time of unexpected need! Sorry you lost your busy work craft but have a new one to occupy you as you find stuff! To see all those bits and pieces of things you made, @magpie, would make it a happy thing but to be able to use them together to create something new for the home is fabulous! lol another reason to save all the things…like a crumb quilt only paper!!!

lol we must have purchased the same stack pack…I recognize some of those papers! What a great use for them…I am using calendar sheets to make some envelopes but they seem a bit thin for some of the things I want to send…great idea!
YAY for new ideas for happy mail!

Boobies and Knockers … such fun happy mail being exchanged 
I decided to have Walmart print some of my photos rather than using all my home ink and after a delay (grrr) they are finally ready to be picked up. Now I can make my take on spring shower cards.
