Free as a Bird Happy Mail

I find it ironic that my current favorite stamp set is called Free as a Bird, since we most definitely aren't at this particular time. Counted among my many blessings is the love of card making, and my rather large hoard collection of stamping-related supplies. I can shelter in place for as long as it takes to get past these trying times, with enough product to keep me busy for a loooong time. Now, if my garden would just start producing, I wouldn't even have to go grocery shopping.

Since I'm spending so much time taking my mind off of world affairs, I've been making and sending many more cards than usual. Happy mail is just the ticket for brightening someone's spirits. "Use up the pre-made card and envelope sets" is on my to-do list, and the Bird Ballad Laser Cut cards were at the top of that list. They are positively lovely, and paired with fussy cut images from the Bird Ballad DSP, make a beautiful card.

The greeting is from Good Morning Magnolia and I also used a sentiment from it on the inside that seemed so appropriate: The journey of life is best shared with a friend. We'll get through this together.

I want to encourage you to make the time to do something creative every day, if possible. It will take your mind off things that are beyond our control (other than self-isolating) and, if you make a card, SEND that card! It will brighten someone's day. Try not to dwell on the bad news. There is so much good happening, too, so focus on that. AND DON'T FORGET TO SEND THAT CARD! Someone needs to hear from you.
