ABOUT HAPPY MAIL

What is the Happy Mail Campaign?
Starting Sept 1 2012, I Stacy Julian , declare that I will make and send 365 handmade cards with handwritten notes. Now I do not want to do this along and I know with your enthusiastic support, we can do this. Join me in a pay-it-forward Happy Mail movement where people rediscover the joy of sending and receiving handwritten communication (with a stamp).

What is Happy Mail?
Happy Mail is a concept that we started with the launch of Big Picture Classes in 2005. We wanted to connect with our members in multiple ways. When you register for an account at Big Picture Classes we ask you some unusual questions, such as what is your favorite candy bar? your favorite color? Using those answers and with the help of our BPC team we randomly mail out happy mail to members. In fact when we celebrated our 5-year anniversary we sent out 500 happy mail packages to 500 Big Picture members all around the world. We continue to package and send happy mail out to our members throughout the world.

Welcome to our first Happy Mail challenge!!! We are thrilled that Doodelbug Designs is sponsoring Stacy's personal Happy Mail all year long. You are invited to play along with us by following the challenge and uploading your card to this blog post using the inlinkz tool below. See what the talented ladies of Doodlebug have created here.
