It's still a few weeks ish away but I'm very excited for National Letter Writing Month in April! To celebrate, I'm sharing a few things: a free postcard swap and a new way to be a part of my mail club--no subscription required! Here are the details--
JOIN THIS YEAR'S POSTCARD SWAP!

Swaps are always such a fun way to connect with fellow mail enthusiasts! This is a FREE activity that I coordinate for fun so that we can send and receive some goodies in our mailboxes. 
 
Here's the gist: anyone who is interested signs up and I split everyone into groups of 4 - 5 people. You'll send 1 postcard to everyone in your group and receive 3 or 4 postcards back (depending on the size of your group). There are a few requirements and deadlines.
 
Click the link below to learn more and sign up! If you know of anyone who might be interested, please forward them this email so they can sign up as well--the more the merrier and international friends are welcome!

  • March 25th is the last day to sign up for the swap
  • March 28th is when you'll receive your swap match details
  • April 11th Please send all your postcards out by this date!
PRE-ORDER APRIL CREATIVE SPARK CLUB MAIL
(NO SUBSCRIPTION NEEDED)

I'm trying something new and offering one-time purchases of mail from the Creative Spark Club! This way you can see what the club is like before you subscribe or pick out specific projects without a subscription. 
 
The perk of being a subscriber is that you get a discounted price and if this is something you want to continue receiving, you don't have to remember to place an order every month (and you can cancel anytime.) Thank you to everyone who has joined the club thus far--I am very appreciative and grateful!
 
April's mail is now open for pre-orders and subscriptions! Order / join by March 15th to receive it. It's inspired by the different ways we can create when it comes to writing letters and sending mail. Below are the links and a list of what's included in the mail (more pics will be shared below-- if you're already a member and want it to be a surprise, please skip the rest of this note!)

  • 1 - 7x10" Lettering Guide, includes examples and instructions on how to create different kinds of fonts to embellish your letters and envelopes with
  • 1 - "A Good Letter Is A Little Bit Of Magic", mini packing tape postcard example
  • 1 - Instructions & Small Bag of Materials to make your postcards with including confetti, glitter, paper, stickers, quotes, etc.
  • 1 - Small Petal Fold Envelope Template, printed on cardstock w/instructions
  • 2 - Quote Cards, one to keep and one to share, printed on watercolor paper
  • 1 - Prompt Card, for additional inspiration throughout the month and beyond
  • 1 - Letter, a hello from me 

Do you know someone who might be interested in the Creative Spark Mail Club? Please forward them this email, I'd really appreciate it! 

Looking forward to connecting via pen, paper, and a postage stamp! 
Take good care and talk to you soon,
