HERE ARE THE DETAILS…
This is a monthly mail subscription--you will get a letter from me every month that includes:
  • 1 Project or material to try (January's project is listed below and a few things I have in mind for the future are gold leaf, cyanotype, and more!)
    • All items are curated with creatives of all backgrounds and experience levels in mind.
    • Most projects can be done with what I've provided and basic supplies (so you shouldn't have to buy anything) and are do-able time and energy wise.
  • 1 Letter with details, instructions, inspiration, and ideas
  • 1 Mini quote card printed on watercolor paper for you to reflect--and paint on if you'd like
  • 1 Prompt card that you can use many times, specially designed for the club
  • Each month will have its own theme and focus color(s)
  • Mail is sent as a regular stamped letter WITHOUT tracking to keep shipping costs low
  • Open to both US and International friends, pricing details below.
The first piece of mail will be arriving January 2026!

WHAT'S IN JANUARY'S MAIL?

The theme for January's mail is visual documentation.
The month's colors are white and silver.
 
Our project is called 2026 Monthly Memories. You will receive a 5x7 print on cardstock that's ready for you to fill out with one memory a month. The front includes 12 lightly outlined squares and the back lists every month with a few lines for you to jot down notes about your memory. There are many ways you can fill in the squares--more details and ideas will be included in the letter. At the end of the year, you'll have a print filled with memorable moments from every month of 2026!
 
You'll also receive a square template (in case you want to cut and glue things into the squares) as well as all other items listed above. Everything will be carefully packaged with your letter and mailed out at the end of December so that you should receive it some time in January.
