Mail Club Cycle 3

I’m writing this on the sofa right now with my mini goldendoodle Harley curled up next to me. She’s 9, still acts like a puppy, but I call her a grandma because she’s getting so old. Time has been moving fast lately. Three days ago my boyfriend and I celebrated 11 years together and I keep having this feeling like I need everything to slow down just a little.

Cycle 3 of Mail Club is out into the world and I still don’t fully know how to process that.

What started as an idea has turned into something real. Not just something I’m making and sending out, but something people are actually holding, opening, and using in their own lives. That part means everything to me.

I love creating things for creative people. I love that this isn’t just something that sits on a shelf. It gets used. It gets cut up, glued down, written on, layered into pages that tell someone’s story.

That’s what Mail Club has become and what makes it feel alive to me.

What Cycle 3 looks like

This month was a little different.

I don’t usually show myself in my content, so creating a self portrait for the postcard felt unexpected. It pushed me in a direction I don’t normally go, and that’s something Mail Club has been giving me space to do more of.

To try things. To revisit parts of art I’ve always loved. To not overthink it.

Every envelope this month has a piece of that inside.
