October & November 2021 – Love Notes

In October I participated in the Love Notes Project in two ways. At the beginning of the month I was a Love Notes Fairy. Then I exchanged three weekly postcards* with my assigned penpals. Along the way I also sent a variety of Happy Mail and cards for other occasions. My “notes” went across town, across the country, into jail & over the border. Whew, it was a busy month.

Then came November and I got my husband involved too. He sent some postcards while I continued with Love Notes Fairies and other notes of encouragement/support.

POSTCARDS WEEK 1 – Believe in…

Handmade Card – Paint, Layers of Paper & Rubber Stamps (from LAC)

POSTCARDS WEEK 2 – Find your way…

1016 Thebes, Tomb of Sen-nfer. 1453 BC – Ceiling covered with bunches of grapes. (from EB)

Beautiful stationary & a card to tuck in my wallet (from LAC)

“POSTCARDS” WEEK 3 – Here’s to…

Handmade – Mixed Media – Paper, Paint, Fabric, Lace, Thread, Ink & Stamps (from LAC)

*I sent an extra postcard each week to someone who is not part of the exchange.

And then…

Veterans Day – Thank You for Your Service

OOPS – Forgot to Take a Picture Before I Mailed “These”

BONUS

I do not share these cards sent and received to boast about what I am doing but instead to encourage others to take the time to send personal handwritten cards & letters. A text message or email will be read & forgotten but a handwritten note can become a source of encouragement for years to come.

Are you up for the challenge?
