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 :purple_heart:.

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 :slight_smile:

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

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

wow! that is some assembly line you must have :slight_smile:
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

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

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

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! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

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!
