Hi everyone! 💌✈️

Can you believe we're already about two weeks away from our Round 2 shipping deadline? Time has flown!

This round, you'll be mailing: 🌍 Your Bucket List page 🎈 Your Hot Air Balloon for your group's collaborative adventure

If you need a refresher on the requirements or aren't quite sure what needs to be included, don't worry! Just hop over to the How-To Guide where you'll find all the instructions for all the Rounds.

One small favor: please hold off on mailing any Round 3 items just yet. You're absolutely welcome to start creating them (all of the details are already posted on the How-To page if inspiration strikes!), but let's keep everyone's happy mail arriving together for each round.

Running Behind? That's Okay.

Life happens. If you aren't going to make the shipping date, grace is always given. This isn't about perfection, it's about creating, connecting, and encouraging one another.

The only thing I ask is this:

Please communicate with your group.

Pop into your group chat and let everyone know what's going on. A quick message saying, "I'm running a little behind, but I'll have it out next week!" makes a huge difference and keeps everyone from wondering if something happened.

One thing we've noticed is that the groups that are absolutely thriving are the ones that are chatting with one another. They're sharing progress photos, cheering each other on, asking questions, and simply saying hello every now and then.

That's really what the Sisterhood Shuffle is all about.

Yes, we're exchanging handmade pages... But more importantly, we're building a creative community around a shared experience.

So don't be shy, jump into your group chat, say hello, share what you're working on, and encourage one another. The more you put into the community, the more you'll get back from it.

As for me... 🙋‍♀️

I'm right there with some of you! I'm running a little behind on my own pages too. 😂 I'll be sharing more photos of my progress soon, and I absolutely cannot wait to see everyone's Bucket List adventures and Hot Air Balloons arriving in mailboxes over the next few weeks.

Happy creating!

❤️ Tiffany

Creating connection, one handmade page at a time.

🎈 Round Two Reminder: Around the World Adventures

Ship-Out Date: August 15, 2026

This round's theme is all about destinations and adventure. Your 5x7 or 8..5x11 folded pages can feature:

A bucket list destination you've always wanted to visit
A place you're traveling to this year
A favorite destination you've already visited
Or even a completely imaginary world of your own creation!

The possibilities are endless, so have fun with it and let your imagination run wild.

🎈 About the Hot Air Balloons

We've had a few questions about the hot air balloons, so here's a quick clarification. Each sister should receive one hot air balloon from you.

Your balloon should represent your chosen destination and can coordinate with your pages if you'd like, but that's entirely up to you.

Guidelines:

Maximum size: 4 inches tall
Any shape or style is welcome.
Decorate it however you'd like!
Make sure you put on the balloon somewhere the destination you would send your sister maybe a title and info sticker on the back.

I included an example hot air balloon template simply to help anyone who needed an outline.

No Printer? No Problem!

A fun trick:

📱 Pull up the balloon image on your phone, place a piece of paper over the screen, and lightly trace the outline. It's a quick and easy way to make a balloon template without needing a printer.

🗺️ About the Map Download

The printable map included in the downloads is intended as a background or journal element for your own book if you'd like to use it. You do not need to print and mail a map with every page unless you want to. It's completely optional!

📚 Round Info Can Be Found on the 'How To' page of the website

🎥 Need Help?

I've been adding more resources for everyone:

✨ A How-To page with information about each round ✨ Additional tutorial videos ✨ A Facebook page where I'll be posting helpful videos and updates in case you miss the TikToks.

I also recently shared:

📖 How to make a custom Sisterhood Shuffle book 📚 How to use a simple composition notebook for your pages

There is no right or wrong way to build your journal, make it your own!

💌 Before You Mail Round Two…

I have posted updated mailing lists in each group, minus anyone who has decided to bow out or isn't communicating.

❤️ Communication Is Everything

A few sisters have already let their groups know that life circumstances may delay their pages. And that's okay. Life happens.

The most important thing is simply to communicate with your group. A quick message goes a long way and helps everyone know what's going on.

We're building a community here, not just exchanging paper.

Thank you all for making the Sisterhood Shuffle such a warm, creative, and supportive place. I absolutely love seeing your photos, your ideas, and the friendships forming along the way.

💡 A Few Reminders

• You don't have to wait until the month begins to start creating! If inspiration strikes early, go for it.

• Your pages can be any style vintage, whimsical, mixed media, scrapbook, watercolor, clean and simple...there is no "right" way.

• Most importantly, create something you'd be excited to receive yourself.

❤️ Thank You

Every envelope you send is more than paper and glue.

It's encouragement.

It's inspiration.

It's a reminder that creativity connects us, even from hundreds or thousands of miles apart.

Thank you for being part of this amazing community. I truly can't wait to see where this adventure takes us next.

Happy Creating!
