Wait, did you catch that first part? THIS IS A LETTER FROM JOY! She's embarking on a Thirty Things Before Thirty Years journey, and one item on her list was to write more handwritten letters. Apparently I was having a good Twitter reflex day, because I was one of 30 people to see her tweet and quickly email her my address. Bam, a week later, look what shows up in my mailbox. The card even has a cupcake design on it from Cakespy. It's like we're best friends or something...or I blog way too much about cupcakes.
It isn't everyday that one of your fave creative celebrities takes the time to handwrite a letter to you--and Joy is most definitely a celeb in the blogosphere. She'll be humble about it, but it's totally true. When I was in elementary school, I wrote a letter to Lisa Frank asking her to create a mermaid character for her colorful school supplies line. Lisa never wrote back, but I would like to credit myself with the fruition of said design a year later. Perhaps that's wishful thinking.
Thank you Joy for making my day! When I'm back in LA this summer, I'd love to attend one of your pop-up catering events with your partners-in-crime and actually meet you :)
