Fan Mail Friday- July 5th, 2024

Hello crafters,

We hope that you had an enjoyable Fourth of July! It's our first Fan Mail Friday in July and we have lots of fun and wonderful things to share with you! This week there are early birthday cards, patriotic cards, new friends and more. Let's dive in to this week's fan mail offerings.

Richard sent a beautiful, scalloped card, photo and poem with us this week. Below is the lovely poem; we had to share!

Why do we love?
A question as old as time,
Echoing through the chambers
Of our hearts and minds.

We love for the laughter
That dances in our souls,
For the warmth of a touch
That makes us feel whole.

We love for the memories
That we hold dear,
For the shared experiences
That bring us near.

We love for the beauty
That surrounds us each day,
For the way it inspires us
In every single way.

We love for the strength
That it gives us to endure,
For the hope it instills
And the trials we can cure.

We love for the connections
That bind us together,
For the sense of belonging
That lasts forever.

So why do we love?
In the end, the answer is clear,
For love is the essence
Of why we are here.

"Why do we Love?" - Zachary Starr

Elizabeth sent the prettiest blue and white Celebration Chest card inspired by the blouse worn during the May's Member's Only. How fun! It's great to hear from you. 
Thank you Veronica, for the gorgeous card, candy and gift. You are so kind, and we just adore your flower shop card
Candis sent this U.S.A. bicycle card complete with a cute joke. Ready?
Q: What do you get when you cross a patriot with a curly haired poodle?
A: A Yankee Poodle!
We love the Gazebo Dies and kitties for the Fourth! Diane wrote to say that she loves Madison, and has had the best time making patriotic cards this year.
Your amazing projects and kind words have made our week! Thank you for thinking of us, and for sharing your spectacular cards with us. If you would like to send something to us for Fan Mail Friday, you can mail it to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. Have an excellent weekend friends!
Love,
Anna

Beautiful cards today. Richard that touch of pink in the roses is brought out with your choice of card base and also I love the poem.
Elizabeth this is definitely a celebration card, gorgeous.
Veronica the store front is perfect for any occasion, I love all the little details.
Candis I can’t wait to use the Madison papers for the bicycle next year. We use to decorate our bikes and be part of the community parade on the 4th of July.
Diane if I had a gazebo my cat would definitely be lounging around inside like she owned the place.
Have a great weekend everyone
