Am SO excited this day is finally here… Today marks the official launch of our SNAIL MAIL valentines for charity! Eleven million thanks to all of you who donated your time, talents and LOVE to create these very special cards. Just a reminder, 100% of the proceeds benefit Elder Craftsmen, a rad NYC-based group that brings craft programs to senior citizens.
This is a GREAT organization and I’m so sorry to report that on the day that we contacted them to propose this idea, they had just found out that they lost their city funding! So… won’t you pls help us support this cause and purchase one – or a dozen! – of these very special valentines? They’re sold as a surprise assortment so you won’t know exactly what you’re getting – it was just impossible to feature every single one, sorry! – but they are all so AMAZING creative hilarious you’re gonna freak. View more here!
Speaking of freaking, I hope you will LOVE our new podcast episode coinciding with the launch of this project. It’s our first-ever all ILLUSTRATED edition of the FF show! Thanks so much to Annie Poon for her great annie-mations. One last thing… Uh, hello? FREE SHIPPING! We wanted to do something special to celebrate this launch so pls enter discount code “love” at checkout with ANY purchase and you’ll save $7.95 on shipping. We LOVE you!
Loving the new illustrated video and am stupidly giddy that my morbidish skull love valentine made the newsletter. I hope you make lots and lots for the Elder Craftsmen!!!

I love you guys. xoxo, Bee
comment by Bee — February 2, 2009
That’s alright! I understand; you guys got a ton of valentines!
Making it was so much fun! I’ll probably have to participate in the next charity event too. x)
comment by Kathryn — February 2, 2009
Just wanna say that the 3 valentines I ordered came today, and that I am THRILLED because I got the Jay McCarroll button one from the pic! The other two are darling, but I would’ve paid the $12 just for Jay’s because it is so beautifully made with the thick paper and stitched edges and custom envelope. This was a great fundraiser, and I can’t wait for you guys to do something like this again so I can send in a few of my own!!!
comment by Anna! — February 7, 2009
This is an awesome presentation.
I only wish the video would’ve been slowed down enough for everyone to see the cards for about 3 seconds so they could be “taken in” completely.
I would love to have been able to read everyone’s name and city/country.
