Thanks! I do use this design a lot on cards, not usually exclusively as I did one this one though.
I’m thinking we should restart (or reboot or recreate) the Jar of Hearts idea from the old site. Each Paper & Mixed Media member and Art Journal-along member could create some mixed media, or fabric, or any media hearts that are ready to send to a fellow Lettuce head when they are going through stuff. I’m thinking of sloth003 - Quilt of sadness and love and LadybugsAndBees - Happy Mail Craftalong 2021 ~ Monthly themes and Birthdays too! - #2647 by Magpie.
I know this coincides with the Happy Mail thread but I wanted to post quietly in a corner so the folks I mentioned won’t get notified…
I’m thinking this is a good way for me to use some of my master boards and other paper stuffs I have accumulated in the last few months. Let me know if this sounds like something we can/should do.

I love the idea, but my heart’s not in making things for people right now, and I feel like the whole point is to send something made with heart (especially if it is, in fact, a heart!).

Well I plan to make a bunch and have them ready to go when I see a post. Since Thursday is a day off, I’ll get some started.
My mom saves me her Talenti gelato containers so I have a place to collect them.

I love this idea. Do we have addresses for the ones you noted? I’d like to participate.
I was hoping to get lucky from the list that we created when the old site shut down or ask around - maybe the Happy Mail Craft craft along to obtain the info…

and one more … I think this one needs the white space filled a bit, not sure if I’ll do dots or tiny stars.

Oh, I love the idea of filling the lights with doodles!

I saw some cards like this but done with paper quilling. Thought it would look good with doodles too.

My boss asked me to make a special thank you card for a friend of hers who donates money to our preschool. I’ve done this many times over the years so I try new &/or different things but I always incorporate kids handprints.
The front of the accordion - I may have one of the Pre-K kids add to this
I have maybe 5 or 6 more handprints but I ran out of steam last night. And I wanted my boss to see and sign it today.
P.S. I solved the bobbin threading issue from a few months ago. I made 2 last night - no problems! Don’t know what was different but yay for smooth bobbins!
