But I have a valid (enough) reason, (I hope). I've been busy working on sending some cards to friends. Also, the Mister's business got a little busy and I had to pitch in for a bit.
Why this month's mail took me more time than usual is because I wanted to include a little handmade knick-knack with it. Oh, and also, I decided hell yeah let's send mail to four people this month, all at once, why not.
I used 3 of the cards I got through my Frankie magazine from almost two years ago and made one card. Since I was saving time on making the cards, I decided to add a simple quote in each of the cards and make something small to complement it. I'm thinking it could be a bookmark, and I'm sure these recipients would love it since they love reading books.
I always underestimate the amount of time I need to prepare mail. I think it's because I don't have a clear plan as to what to include and what materials to use. Also, I feel the need to make my own envelopes instead of just using ready-made ones. Ah, it's more fun, really! It's nice to make people feel special. And you will definitely feel special by just looking at the envelope itself.
It's really nothing much, maybe because I was more eager to send them out than to make it more personalized. I hope they like their little cards! And I hope to get more creative ideas for my next mail project. March's one is gonna be big - and I only have one recipient. So I better start working on it now.
P.S: Happy Chinese New Year!
