Happy Mail Craftalong 2021 ~ Monthly themes and Birthdays too!

I recognize those cacti stickers!

Look at these stamps!

I am so happy to have received one of @Ewulotta’s beautiful masterboard earth cards.

@madebyBeaG sent me a belated bday card with her very cool “Love” doodle.

And a family member I wrote to replied. She’s started sewing more this past year, I’ll see if I can get her to join us here!

I got a lovely letter from @Magpie and one of the beautiful watercolor postcards from @Lynx!

Glad to hear that! I’m sure there’s going to be a pile of cards waiting for you when you get back from hospital.

I got the best postcard and note from @Whistlefish today, it made my day :grin:

I feel bad that I’ve only managed to send out a couple happy mails, but even my temporary craft space had to be dismantled… Hopefully in a couple of weeks I can get something sorted. By then we’ll have safe electrics, yay

Yay!! I’m so glad you like the skunk. I’ve never painted a skunk before, it was a lot of fun trying a new creature :black_heart: :white_heart:

Amazing! Everything about it is wonderful - the tail, the face, the tulips. :heart:

So I inherited my grandfather’s desk… it’s solid! It was a beast moving it in and it’s staying put! The lighting isn’t very good and it was made before the age of computers (so there’s no good way to set one up)… so in the few years it’s been here it’s become a “catch-all” and it’s just a mess :sweat: buuuuuut! Now that I’m writing letters more I think I’m going to clean it up and use it for letter writing :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: so wish me luck! :sweat_smile:

My husband is not a big fan of the desk, partially because it has so many drawers! :joy: But I love it! The little drawers along the top have space for labels so that will help once I organize it all :slight_smile: It’s such a neato desk! It has hidden compartments too :heart: I’m looking forward to having it usable!!!

I’ve been half thinking about setting it up for paper crafting too but the lighting is so bad I don’t know if it’s a good idea… maybe if one of my lamps fits :thinking:
