Hello stampers! It is my last day here in Canada so I thought happy mail would be a great topic. Happy mail is a handmade card between the bills and flyers and it is always appreciated. When you see that special sized envelope in the mail with handwriting on the front of it, you just know you are in for a happy surprise. I received happy mail yesterday so I thought I would share those cards with you today.
The Cards
I got this lovely card from my team member Karen Gardner. The snowmen are vintage, from many years ago. She told me it was one of the first sets she got. I love that!! This card has so much sparkle in real life.
This stunning cardinal card is from team member Jean Burke. I think the paper might be contraband but the cardinal is from Toile Christmas. Her idea of putting the sentiment on an angle like that is really great!
This last beauty is from fellow demonstrator Marion Greenlund. I love how she combined the trees from Winter Woods with the Feels Like Frost paper and the stitched rectangles framelits. The foil is from the Peacock suite.
A Great Idea
I had a great idea this morning. SInce happy mail is so wonderful I was wondering if you would like to send ME happy mail in Holland! I would then blog about the cards that I get in the mail and at the end of my stay in Holland I will choose one lucky winner to get the Poppy framelits from the new catalog. Here is my mailing address:
Jackie Bultje c/o Gerard van der Sar
Bloemenlaan 6,
2691 JC ‘s-Gravenzande,
Zuid-Holland, the Netherlands

First day here and I started with a fresh raisin bun (krentebol) then I had some butter almond cookies, a stollen bun (raisin bun filled with marzipan almond paste) and then a whipped cream and hazelnut meringue pastry at night. It was a great day!!

Hello Jackie!
I love following your blog and the inspiration that you provide. I hope your Pap is doing better. Enjoy your special time in Holland.
Am I able to be included in your Happy Mail drawing if I live in the United States?
Hugs, Barbara
HI Barbara. Everyone is included in the draw regardless of where they live. Isn’t that fun?
