Making stickers with some foil vellum paper on double-sided adhesive. I think these will look really pretty as envelope seals, don't you?

A woman's hand holds two sheets of stickers. Each sheet has six stickers that are 1.25" round, made on opaque vellum with a floral gold foiled print.

When rough feels hit (anger/frustration/despair/etc.) - do something good for someone else. Refocus energy into something positive. Write/send snail mail. Volunteer/donate to good cause. Do random act of kindness for a stranger. Share some positive news article. Put book in a Little Free Library. 🥰
