Oh yes! The envelope I got my Happy Mail from @bluebird in was also covered in beautiful drawings!

I received a card and some fun stickers from @Amfkinney today - my first since joining the craftalong! Thank you!

I received from @Renstar today!

Side note: I encourage anyone who’s making their happy mail cards to post them to the project boards! I’ve been getting some pretty cool stuff that I think LC-at-large would love to ogle .

I received from @BeesKnees … so beautiful … thanks for the journal prompts too.

I sat down to try out a new technique like 5 hours ago, ended up liking it, and have almost finished about 20 cards. So I’ll have some happy mail going out once I have time to write out all of the cards

The votes are in! 2022 will be the…

Year of Colors

If you have any ideas or specific colors you want me to include in the year please let me know I’ll try to have all the months planned in a few days

Nice! Feb is obviously usually pinks & reds (for valentines & flamingos, of course!) but it could be a totally different colour for a change…

Reinikka · January 23, 2022, 4:20am

My initial thought was Fuchsia February but that’s still in the pink category… I’ll do some more brainstorming before I decide! I would like to mix it up a little by adding color combinations too

kayrun · January 23, 2022, 11:20pm

wow! that is some assembly line you must have
neat that you are enjoying your new technique

I managed to send a couple of postcards the other day (while on vacation, but they are just generic winter postcards I happened to bring with me)…one is headed overseas & one in US

kayrun · January 23, 2022, 11:22pm

sounds like fun!! I predict that Feb will be a booger of a month for me workwise, but I’m hoping to send some Valentines and then really get crafting in March & April

Reinikka · January 24, 2022, 2:52am

All right! I have our Year of Colors or Year of Colours (depending on where you are in the world ) worked out! Keep in mind that it could change if someone gives me a more brilliant idea And also do what makes you happy, the themes (as usual) are just for fun

Fuchsia February
Mustard March
Aubergine April
Gray May
Jade June

August Gold
Silver September
Opposite October

Oh, I looooove the themes

Bugaboo · January 24, 2022, 12:15pm

I LOVE the year of color!

Renstar · January 24, 2022, 8:41pm

I received a pretty envelope and Happy Mail from @bluebird today.

Thank you, it was more enjoyable than my boring mail that also turned up.

Ewulotta · January 24, 2022, 10:52pm

I have a bunch of happy mail ready to be sent soon-ish At least the mail box is closer to our new home, just around the corner.

melg78 · January 25, 2022, 1:42am

I love these!!!

endymion · January 25, 2022, 1:47am

I sent a batch of Happy Mail today! Hope everyone likes…

Reinikka · January 25, 2022, 7:42pm

I collected all my fuchsia-ish gelli prints, copycat fodder pieces, blank cards, scissors, and sticky stuff! No idea what I’ll be doing yet but I’m getting started!

Bunny1kenobi · January 25, 2022, 8:18pm

I have received some lovely happy mail! I honestly can’t recall at the moment who all sent goodies to me, but I know I got something from @madebyBeaG and @Bugaboo and @Amfkinney (that wax seal is THE BOMB) and @bluebird. There may be some others I’m missing from off the top of my head and if that’s the case, I sincerely apologize!
