You know when things line up perfectly? Maybe it's all the green lights in the city at the same time, cutting minutes off your morning commute, or maybe it's when all of your friends magically want to do the same thing in the same night. Most recently, for me, I had...
One of my goals before I turn 26 was to visit San Francisco. I knew that I would love the city, so I had to make an official plan. Turns out it coincided quite well with the mail art event of the year, Ex Postal Facto. As much fun as the mail art events were, it was...
Considering that almost 100% of this past week was spent in San Francisco, there's not going to be much else covered in this week's happiness post. I had a wonderful trip, and I will go more into detail about San Francisco tomorrow. But for now you can check out these...
When I heard about Ex Postal Facto, I knew I had to go. Not only was it the mail art event of the year, but it was in San Francisco, which I had made a goal of visiting before my 26th birthday. It was perfect! Have a fabulous time with people while crossing off a...
Wow, is it February already!? Hi! I'm Michelle and I run Busy Weekends. As you learned last month, Mary and I are posting on each other's blogs all year about the progress of one of our creative goals. Mary's Peacock Vow is to consistently expand her business, and...

I was really lucky to be offered the chance to teach not one, but two workshops in DC! It's a great time of year for mail and being creative. People still really love to make valentines, which is great! My first workshop was at Melissa and Lisa's store, Analog. We had...
This was a really fun week! I'm really looking forward to this weekend in San Francisco... that is, if I can get there! They're calling for a bunch of snow. I just need to get in the air! I've decided to start a weekly photo contest. Basically, every Wednesday, I will...
Earlier, I texted Michelle about how it was everything I could do not to cry about how I feel about humanity right now. And she responded back with, "Cry." And that's what I'm going to do. It's February, and along with Valentine's Day comes cutesy candy, like...
Instead of making you a playlist for Valentine's Day full of romantic songs from the bands I'm really into now, I decided to take a more nostalgic angle. This playlist represents my musical taste from high school, which is ultimately pop-punk and emo. I hope you...
