I actually don’t even know where to begin... I was genuinely overwhelmed by all the love that came into my mailbox this Holiday Season. Each and every card touched my heart, and left me speechless. This year has been wacky, in more ways than one, but the one shining beacon for me was this group. Knowing there would be beautiful cards in my mailbox, got me through the sadness of living and working in this era of Covid. 2020 can only be described as dystopian movie written by Stephen King, directed by 2020. It was a year of so much loss.. loss of life, loss of jobs, loss of being able to enjoy the acts of daily living. Usually during difficult times, we take solace in our family, but many of us were forced to be further isolated from those we wanted to be with the most.

This group became the family many of us needed, and for that I love every single one of you, and while you may think you were only ending a card, you were sending a lifeline, a connection to one another that was desperately needed for so many. So, I just really want you all to know, every card you sent has brought me tremendous joy !!

This was my first year doing a Holiday Card offer, and I had 200 responses, but I gotta say I had so much fun !! I want to apologize to everyone that I couldn’t write a more personal message, and for those of you that filled out my Google Form, I enjoyed so much reading about each and every one of you, and I would love to send a card again, and share a more personal response, with each of you. The diversity of this group never ceases to amaze me, and I have loved meeting so many of you, all around the globe, and some closer to home... that too through so many beautiful cards !! I had no idea such beautiful cards existed !! I need to ask some you where you find such unique cards, and stickers. For those of you that took extra precious time to make a card by hand, thank you !! It literally is a treasure.

I was able to send everyone a card, but if I missed anyone, please let me know, I don’t want anyone to feel like I left them out. I’d be happy to send a Holiday Card, or any other card you would like. I have to Thank so many people !! I’m going to list all of you at once now, and I will take pictures of card clusters, because part of the fun is seeing your card. I have a feeling I’m going to miss a few of you, but I will go through all of them again and promise not to forget you... Here’s to a magnificent 2021, a year that brings you all nothing but love, joy and happiness !!

P.S My mailman thinks I’m a celebrity. I caught him through the window, looking at each card with the curiosity of a child. So now I have some pretty awesome street credit with our mailman. Bless his heart and every mail carrier, who busted their backs delivering mail this year. They really honored their oath, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

P. S. S. Can I ask where can I find the really cute stickers ? I loved them, and now feel like my stickers were crazy juvenile.

P.S.S.S.- I’m excited for my next offer which I should be posting soon... while I can’t keep a secret to save my life, the only hint is... nah, I’m not gonna say 😜

Here we go.... I’m going to take photos of the cards, because it is so much fun to see photos. I plan on grouping the cards in accordance with the earburns once I get home.

OMG- I’m officially one of those gross, greedy grabby kids... I’m so sorry for posting such late Thank You’s. I guess I’m going to add something to my New Years Resolutions beside,  1. Read more (or at least turn the subtitles on while binge-watching TV). 2. Post proper Thank You’s as I receive such amazing cards from everyone. 3. Stop being a greedy hoarder, so others have a chance to receive Happy Mail.

Thank You for the award !! I’m so ashamed to be awarded for such bad behavior
