Introducing Let's Make Art Matter
Share
Hello friends,
We want to start off by saying we think you are amazing, brave, and wonderful people who are still chasing down their creativity and willing to try something new. And we love you for that.
We have all learned as we go through our days that life is hard, and we don’t necessarily mean just one person, we mean everyone’s. It may be one particular family that had a very rough year—from cancer to suicide to miscarriages to divorce. Every time something horrible happens we want to say something, anything, that could comfort them, but who even knows what to say in those situations? So instead of saying, we create. Just so they know we are thinking about them, just so they know they are loved. It is through these experiences that we realized that art can be so much more than fun illustrations. Art can help bring people together, spread love, and sometimes heal. We want everybody to know that.
So every month in our subscription box we include a little postcard. A postcard for someone who needs a little extra love or thought. But we need your help. While we would love to send these postcards to people we personally know, we want this to reach beyond my grasp, and that is where you come in. As you go about your day, think of someone who might need this. It can be anybody, a sweet neighbor that you appreciate, someone who is lonely, or down, or sad. Send us their information and we can see if we can brighten their day, even just for a little bit. Because we are all in this together.

We’ve had a rough year. My husband was sick 8 years but this final was the worst with him being hospitalized 17 times in a year, a coma, all the in home care. Last Christmas we were showered with cards. I would run out to the mailbox and sit in the car and cry over them. It was amazing .
So I couldn’t help posting how I love the idea of your postcards. Have you choosing someone different each month ? I sure hope so.
What a wonderful, selfless idea! Thanks for doing this and including it in the monthly kit! So excited I found this site!
