new birthday sticker 🎂 july and august mail has been shipped!

Hi patrons

Thank you so so much for the kind support throughout the shop update! It went well and I feel encouraged to bring another your way hopefully sooner (": I hope it has been fun to receive your packages and use the stationery!!

A new year on patreon has come around, it's crazy to think that I have been doing Patreon for 3 years now. I keep a small binder of my previous happy mail themes and it takes me back to the memories and emotions that went into each theme. Thank you all for being a part of this page and journey, it's a gift to have a place to share 💛 If you had favorite themes I created or you wouldn't mind seeing, I would love to know!

New year means a new birthday sticker as well! Here is the new design ✨ Because a new cycle of birthday stickers is in August, I have held onto patrons' mail who have August birthdays until these stickers arrive to me. If you were wondering where your August happy mail is, this is why! 🙇🏻‍♀️ All other July and August happy mail have been shipped!!

As a heads up, I still have the September happy mail preview in the works... a lot life things have been happening that took precedence, but you will hear from me in the next day or so with the theme. Finishing some last details and will send everything to production! I appreciate your patience!!! I know it has been taking a while. It has been a tough month and I am taking each day one at a time. 🌱 Along with this, a revelation I had is that I value making my sticker sheets "full full", if there is a gap on the sheet, I want to fill it with something! Filling the spaces makes me slow, but it's the best feeling when I look at the finished result!! It also keeps my brain going because sometimes making journaling sheets feels like a mini puzzle, haha! 🧩

Here is a small sneak peek of what the mail looks like 🥰

Congrats on 3 years Kara! 🎉 I love flipping through my collection of your stickers! It’s so fun to see the different themes from month to month ☺️ I think the food themes are always my favorite ❤️ The upcoming journal theme looks so cute and I can see so many iterations of this with art (paints, crayons) or music!

Hitomi Saito

That sheet looks so good, I can't wait!

Lily

I can’t believe it’s been that long. I wished I could’ve come across your work sooner as I am literally obsessed✨with everything that you do! I love seeing your notifications popping up as it means a new look at your monthly stickers. I am always amazed by your drawings as I keep telling myself “no this is my favorite sticker sheet” each month. 😂 I look forward to see what’s in store for you and what you create next. 💕

Cally

A suggestion for the upcoming season is like maple leaves/pumpkin patch/haybail/ bunnies throwing leaves theme. I think you thrive in warm color palette. It would be so good perfect for this upcoming sticker sheet. 😊

Cally

The bunny is back!!! 🥹🥹 I love when you make your sheets full full too! It’s so pleasing to the eye. I’d love seeing more warm tone colors used for the upcoming fall because I think of you when I see them. Golden yellow is your color!

Tough people last Kara! P.S all the things i bought are splendid, love them so much! 🥰🌞

Qian Qing

I bought a bunch of stuff from your shop update and they were absolutely gorgeous! keep up the splendid work

Happy 3 years Kara!! Time sure does fly by…it is VERY hard to pick a favorite theme out of all of the previous happy mails 😅 However, all of your Japan-related themes will have a special place in my heart 💛 The birthday stickers are always a fun thing to look forward as well! Can’t wait to keep seeing what you continue to create in the future ☺️
