Sending Happy Mail from From My Carolina Home

In this age of internet everything, and the current situation making us even more dependent on it, what could be a nice surprise? Happy mail delivered to your door! Happy mail can obviously be a homemade card, but there are lots of other ideas as well that I’d like to share today. Anything sent by mail can qualify as Happy Mail.

Thanksgiving Day Cards I made from mequilter

Prior to Thanksgiving, I made some Thanksgiving day cards for some of my closest friends and family members. I made 11 in total.

The most complicated but fun card I made was a stand-alone basket designed by Karen Burniston. She is a very creative designer and has an engineering background so many of her card designs have moving part. In October I made this basket for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It is a very versatile design. I have a Valentine's card design in the back of my mind.
