What a lovely pile of mail! I make so many cards…perhaps it is time to send some of them out to everyone.
Now that things are a little calmer here, I have written a few postcards. I will mail them tomorrow. Canada Post is on rotating strikes still, so though the mail is moving, it may take longer than usual to arrive at its destination.
yay! happy to have any & all participants~ we are exchanging addresses directly with the person you want to correspond with (not keeping a master list like at the beginning of this Craftalong).
Have fun!
That goes for @AIMR as well! Go for it!
@Silky_Bee the stack of cards makes me happy just looking at it!
you are inspiring me to get going on some of the postcards I have been neglecting sending out into the world…
I got mail from @Silky_Bee !
A beautiful ‘Get cozy & read’ card, wonderful text, and some fall stickers.
Thank you very much!
I’m happy you liked it. It’s so rewarding to send something that stays in the EU and doesn’t take weeks to arrive.
Hey all of you lovely crafty people… I am struggling with my mental health pretty bad right now as my right wrist deteriorates into a mass of pissed off ligaments. I am finally seeing a hand surgeon next week but I have hit a serious low psychologically. I would love some happy mail to bring more happy into this situation… I will write you back with my left hand or just finger paint something undecipherable or something. You all are so much light and I am feeling pretty dark lately.
If you need my address I can send a PM with it.
Sending you lots of light. I have had this exact issue and I remember how frustrating it was.
I will send you some happy mail for sure, but Canada Post is on rotating strikes, so the delivery time is unpredictable.
I just wanted to remind you that there is no expectation ofreturn with happy mail, as it is not a swap. So please take time to heal and to enjoy any happy mail that comes your way, no strings attached. ![]()
Goodness, that’s rough!
Hugs & prayers.
Heading out of town in the morning, but if you’ll message your address, that will prompt me to write as soon as I get back (or possibly during my trip)

Pm your address, I need motivation to craft ![]()
I’m so sorry to hear that you are struggling. I hope you’re getting better soon.
Have you looked into digital art as some kind of creative outlet? Around 15 years ago I had to start using the mouse with my left hand due to medical reasons. It took some days to get completely used to it but after that I never switched back. This allows me to do digital designs or scrapbooking and stuff like that even if I cannot fully use my right hand.
My fall mail is on its way to you.
I briefly considered that. Yesterday I finally sat down and made myself paint. It looks like I can watercolor paint as long as I don’t need excessively precise drawings. I just can’t do much else. Even the touch screen on my iPad is a bit difficult at the moment. The pressure is mildly irritating.
I keep getting great sewing ideas and sewing is totally not working right now.
But painting yesterday did me a world of good.
I got lovely cheery mail from @Silky_Bee yesterday. Thank you xx
My hand is almost recovered, so I’ll be sitting down shortly to send some mail out.
I am fortunate to be pretty much ambidextrous, but I had to use my left hand for my mouse when I sprained my wrist. I have one that works with either hand. Great idea!
That being said, I am working on getting mail out to a bunch of kind people who helped me in my down times!
I’ve received some lovely happy mail from @LindyBlues and @Silky_Bee this week. Thank you both - you’ve brought a smile to my face!
I got lovely Happy Mail from @LindyBlues today!
Thank you very much!
You’re welcome @wittychild&@madebyBeaG
Glad to hear Canada Post is working again
My mental health ups and downs have been a bit much lately, but there are some lights, and one of them is you all. Mail from @LindyBlues @megwell and @AIMR has been sweet to receive lately. You’re warming my crafty lil heart!
You’ve had a bit of roughness lately so it’s no wonder that you are feeling very down. It might take a bit to get through it, but maybe a few sparks of light along the way will be of comfort to you. Glad everything arrived! The mail is only going to get crazier with the holidays and all!
Take care and know we are all thinking of you!
how fun to see all of this happy mail!
I popped a postcard in the mail to you recently & hopefully it won’t take a side trip before getting to you…
