Hi Everyone! I received two pieces of Happy Mail. A beautiful card with some cool stamps from @magpie and a very cool postcard with a pressed flower (my favorite by the way) from @susieoregon.
Thanks so much, it is just simply amazing what a fun piece of mail can do to lift your spirits.

Absolutely this. I now get excited when the postie comes, although there is still disappointment in what is sometimes delivered!!! But, that makes it even more of a surprise, I’m usually in a meeting when the post arrives so have to wait to go and collect it!! (Unless I’m being rude!! and that’s only with long term colleagues who know me well)

I received one of @Ewulotta’s pretty cards, a fun bird and tiny stars (not pictured) from @megwell–it is fun to receive bird things(!), and another bird card and sweet note from @Magpie. Thanks for all the happy mail!

I’ve been awful about posting what I get the day of… sorrrrry!!!
Last week I got a pretty birdie from @Cindy
And a great cow card with stars from @megwell
I have finished all my May Flower cards. I ended up with two designs so I mixed them up, dealt them out, and I was surprised to find I have enough for everyone! 
So today I started filling them with words so I can send them out 
I have three almost ready to go, woo hoo!

I can add you to the “special requests” section if you like 
That way you might receive a bit of happy without feeling pressure to send your own. You can send me your address if you trust me and I’ll share it when requested. Or anyone could contact you directly if they want to send you something 
Let me know if that sounds good to you
And reminder for anyone and everyone 
There is no rule or requirement that anyone has to send anything. It’s 100% up to each person how much they participate That’s what makes it happy

Ok I just marathon read through this entire thread (apologies for the million hearts!) and I need to join in! I’ve got an idea I’ve been mulling over for cards…
Here’s a bit about me - I live in Chicago with my husband and our 2 cats (my fur babies). I’m a software engineer by day and structure obsessed weaver by night. I’ve been vegan for over a decade and love everything about cats and weaving. I’ve recently touched my toe into paper crafting via the Art Journal zooms and am enjoying getting to learn about and try new supplies and techniques. My favorite colors are all of them

And I got some fun extras in my Use it or Lose it package from @Bunny1kenobi so I thought I’d share those over here 
I sent out five May Flower cards, they’ll be picked up tomorrow to be on their way
And I just want to say: You guys are all amazing! All of you!!! If you are reading this, you are amazing

I received a card and goodies today from England but don’t know who to thank. No return address and the signature didn’t tell me anything.
