I’ve decluttered my craft room and came across a couple of cards-in-progress! I hope to finish them tonight and send them out tomorrow. Some are projects from long, long ago (15 years or so) some are recent. Some fit the themes and some don’t.

And some theme suggestions for March:

  • growth, new life and fresh starts
  • spring
  • use what you have

Today is the first day of Lent, the period before Easter. That’s of course a period of significance for people who are Christian. But for people who have a different religion or aren’t religious at all, there are still Lent-related themes that could be interesting. Growth, new life and fresh starts is a theme that can be interpreted in many different ways. Use what you have is my crafty interpretation of Lent fasting, but isn’t religious by itself.

All very nice theme ideas!
I like the idea of “use what you have” as a type of fasting

Hi, everyone! I’m back again for another year of happy mail fun! :slight_smile: :love_letter:

I am from Florida. My favorite time of the year is autumn and winter. In the past I’ve done a lot of various crafty things like knitting, crochet, cross stitch, making jewelry (including chainmail), handbound journals, sewing, and so much more. But lately the things I enjoy doing most are artsy things like ATCs, inchies, making decorated envie mail art, and using stickers, washi etc. Some other things I love are: birds, art, books, writing, coffee, rain, keys, sparkly/glittery/metallic things (I am a magpie!), puzzles, Harry Potter, fantasy, gaming. Both sending and receiving happy mail is a joy and I look forward to exchanging happy mail with you.

I also received happy mail from @bluebird!

Thanks! April, I’ll send you something in return!

With that said, @reinikka, please take me off the happy mail list. My life is just really busy and I don’t feel like I can commit.

I played with my new Big Shot today and I’ve cut a bunch of things for cards! Just need to glue them together tonight. I actually enjoy the die-cutting part more than I thought I would, as long as I can avoid tiny bits of paper, I’m just not sure if I’m ever going to enjoy working with glue.
