My Pinterest addiction for cute packages and kawaii paper products borders on slightly obsessive. “Post more! Share more! I want to see more cute pictures of happy mail!” I shout to the computer screen late at night when I cannot sleep. So here is my very first #HappyMailHappyHour held at JamaRoo Kids Studio in Lower Pacific Heights for a small group of paper addicts and card collectors. The studio space is still bright and cheery after hours, perfect for gathering a gaggle of gals or bevy of bloggers before the weekend begins! What a fun time we had last Thursday evening .

A love of stationery means a love of playing with gorgeous cards pressed, painted, and printed by a variety of makers, made even more personal with our own special touches. Seeing how each guest personalized her mail for mom, sister, friends, and her beau was enough to make anyone remember how precious a piece of mail can be. Why not send a letter today or stick a note in somebody’s pocket and add a bit of extra pizzaz? Particular encouragement and inspiration for this party came from Egg Press and Hello Lucky’s joint venture #write_on. Learn more about it here.
Heads down and concentrate! Moments of silence between all of the laughter and chatter- writing is the focus.

Our group of lovely ladies played with an assortment of cards by my friends at Rock Scissor Paper, Julie Ann Art, Pennie Post, Mint Chip Ink, b-spired, Ink and Smog Editions, Egg Press and Hello Lucky. We washi-taped, stamped, drew, strung, and stuck to our hearts’ content with a collection of colored pens and paper pieces (origami hearts, tags, stickers, baby envelopes, etc.) taking it from regular mail to Happy Mail! Thank you to Beach Crab Photography for the photos as well as to my great guests for sharing their positive energy and pictures.

So cute!
Love. Snail Mail is the best. Especially when it's not bills. ..but if the bills came in Kawaii paper I would be more pleasant about opening them.
Oh I wish I could have been there!! You are seriously the BEST, I still have my letter which I will treasure forever. I am sorry you have found one of my weaknesses — snail mail. If only I were closer you could help me overcome this bad habit. …. I still have all of the handwritten thank you notes from my wedding —– 10 years ago!!!
Happy for your vision coming true. I so love this event concept (paper girl too) and it looks like you pulled it off so well. Congratulations.
Love,
Shalagh
Thanks Maggie! Was a pretty charming event! How fun if you were there! Pfff… BOS-SFO, piece of cake!
I think that should be a requirement especially with tuition notices, property taxes, etc. How much more pleasant would that be?
Oh Stacy, I am not surprised you still have it all! I am so happy you kept the letter I sent you. It will not be the last, I assure you! The wedding details though… that is impressive!
Thank you Shalagh! You are always so supportive! Looking forward to seeing your upcoming events too! I know it''ll be great!
This looks like it was amazing! I'm so sad I couldn't join in on the fun. Next time!
Lila, it was have been amazing to have you there! Was sad to miss you too! Next time for sure, okay??? Thank you!
