Hello everyone! Apologies for getting this video up so much later than I usually do. It's a struggle keeping up with life in general (if you've missed my social media etc updates I've got pneumonia (walking pneumonia - so not AS severe but it's still exhausting)) plus trying to work!
Anywho - I wrangled up everything that was sent to my PO box last month and got it filmed to share with y'all!
You can watch in HD over on YouTube HERE <-------click!
Thank you all SO much for taking the time out of your day to send something for me to share here. I'm getting excited for my new office space (supposed to happen in a few months - I'll update more on that when I know more!) and have plans for a display spot where I can rotate the cards y'all sent in and show them off more! I also plan to do up a binder to better sort and keep all the letters I get sent (I read every one and keep them!) when the time comes as well!
As for all the cards I personally make - like I mention in the video those I keep for personal use, some I give away, some get sent to manufacturers (forgot to mention that in the video - I've shown that on my social media before) for them to use for advertising etc, and now I send cards to my Patreon supporters.
For those that have been asking here is the link to my Patreon page that I was talking about in the video:
And now for the rest of the info:
If you'd like to mail a card to be featured in an upcoming Happy Mail Haul video here's my mailing address:
Amy Rysavy
Box 1041 MARTENSVILLE PO
Martensville, SK
S0K 2T0
Canada
July Theme: Summer/Food/Drink
August Theme: Fall/Halloween
September Theme: Drinks: Coffee/Tea/Cocoa/Hot Chocolate/Martinis (whatever floats your boat lol!)
(A repost of some important info!!)
Like I mention in all the Happy Mail Haul videos - I am not strict with the themes.. The post can be notoriously slow especially getting to me here in Canada, so I like to share everything that shows up in my PO Box the previous month regardless! If you ever want to check out previous months Happy Mail Haul videos you can find them all here:
If you want to send ahead and mail cards for multiple themes in the same package I am totally OK with that. It helps if you add a sticky note or something to mark what month each card is for. Please do not send more than 2 cards for each theme (so there are the 3 upcoming months therefore 6 cards in total). I cannot accept large packages/boxes of cards. I don't have anywhere to store large amounts plus it takes up a lot of my time to film/edit/upload these videos and limiting the submissions to 2 per person ensures it's fair for everyone. Thank you for understanding!
If you are interested in donating your cards there are MANY charities and organizations out there. You would need to do your own research to find a cause/group/organization that works for you and what you want to do! Everything from local nursing homes/palliative care units/Ronald McDonald Houses to charities to cards for troops is out there - LOTS to choose from!
Also if you haven't sent in a card before but want to go ahead! I love seeing what y'all are making, and being able to share it with the rest of my audience. We all have to start somewhere ;). Also again there's no need to send gifts or anything like that. I more than appreciate the thought, and I read all the letters I receive (I can't respond to them but I read and keep all of them!).
For those reading/watching - I would love if you'd take the time to leave comments/questions/etc for those that sent in something in the comments below and I know those that sent in would love to read them!
