Sending and receiving happy mail is one of the greatest joys; don’t you agree? Walking to your mailbox, opening it up and finding a special envelope just for you? Just thinking about it makes me happy! Today, I'm sharing a fun list of ideas to spruce up your happy mail to make it even more fun, along with ideas of neat little goodies you can include as well!
Letters and cards are so amazing – you can be as simple or as creative as you’d like! The very basics you need are only a piece of paper, a pen/pencil and a stamp. That’s it! Easy right? But let’s take it a step further and explore some extra happy ways to get creative!
Next, let’s talk about all the super fun things you can include in your letters and happy mail! Below you’ll find a list of all sorts of unique goodies that fit in an envelope... Stickers Washi tape samples Tea bags Confetti Handlettered or art pieces Scripture and quote cards Bookmarks Cool Aid Packets Sharable Prayers (these by Dayspring are amazing!) Gum Paper clips (there are super cool shaped ones now) Extra stationary or cards Photos Coupons Postcards Seed packets Sticky notes Origami Recipes Balloons Hot cocoa or instant coffee (would probably require extra stamps) Pressed flowers Decals Ribbon or fabric strips Woven friendship bracelets Lists of favorite songs, movies, books, places to visit, hobbies, etc. Small nail file Tiny calendars The possibilities are endless! So my challenge for you today is to write a letter to someone you know would love to hear from you, or a happy mail card, and incorporate some of these fun ideas to make it extra special! Spread Jesus’ light, love and joy through the postal system. Have fun creating! Tell me down below; what are some of the ways you enjoy getting creative with your happy mail? "A happy heart makes a cheerful face." - Proverbs 15:13

I'm so happy to be sharing with you all about our wonderful January and February Smile Projects today! Let's begin with our January Project featured above...
I know the photo is a little crowded, but just look at all the beautiful cards (blurred for addresses), packages/boxes and donations we received! Our January project was for a super special family going through a hard time who needed a little help from their Christian family and you all truly delivered. I believe this is the biggest Smile Project we have ever organized - praise the Lord! The family were so, so grateful and overjoyed and the children were as happy as can be. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your kindness and generosity. God is so good! This is truly a beautiful picture of how we as Christians can come together to help people through the special opportunities He brings our way. Next is our February Project! For privacy reasons the project coordinator did not want any photos featured of this project, but I can tell you it was a huge success and the family was truly blessed, encouraged and thankful and were reminded of how much God truly loves them. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for contributing and making it such a special blessing for them! By the blessing of our Lord Jesus - you all make these projects possible! All of these projects are made by you! Each note, card, letter, package, gift - every single little thing sent to every project comes together and makes a beautiful gift to share Christ's love. How beautiful is that? May God bless each of your kind and caring hearts abundantly - thank you. Great things God has done and will continue to do. |
