Remember this stack of happy mail I shared earlier this week? Well, it’s officially on it’s way to oodles of my favorite people. I hope when they find it in their mailbox, it brings a smile to their face.

DIY Easter Projects for You & Your Kids!
Today’s inspiration is all about preparing for Easter. This morning my daughter asked me if we would be doing anything for Easter since we didn’t really do much for St. Patrick’s Day. (I generally try to decorate our home, even if it’s only a tiny amount, as well as to do or make something a little extra special for that particular holiday to make it more memorable.) Well, with all that is going on around the world with COVID-19, I admit our St. Patrick’s Day didn’t quite live up to past ones.
Send Happy Mail During Social Distancing
Last week I shared the idea of getting a jump start on your holiday cards if you like to send out handmade ones. Well, if it’s a little too early for you to start thinking about that task, why not just send out a bunch of happy mail to all those people you care about but can’t physically see right now because of our new norm of social distancing.
Social Distancing Make It Monday
Today I have a card pattern to share with you to help get you inspired and ready to make a card. This particular card pattern is from the now retired Close To My Heart Originals Card Pattern Book.
Virtual Classes & Craft Tutorials
We all are spending a little more time at home these days with the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation. As crafters, we’ve been preparing for this day. If you’re like me, you have tons of supplies just waiting to be used. Now is the perfect time to look through that stash of craft supplies and put them to good use! And we want to help you do that!
A Cardmaking Kit To Spread Joy
Today I went back to my past Craft with Heart Cardmaking Subscription Box to make up some quick cards. I was short on time, but I also didn’t want to lose my momentum of working on completing some of my undone projects (we all have them, right?!)
St. Patrick’s Day & Social Distancing
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For most, this particular holiday won’t seem quite the same this year with the new norm of social distancing. Parades have been cancelled, bars closed and where I live, you basically have to avoid someone if you see them approaching you on the sidewalk!
Chocolate Makes Everything Better!
When it’s Monday and you have a feeling it’s going to be a tough one, chocolate might be the answer!
