The Send Happy Project is a super ambitious positive grassroots campaign that is starting today, right here on Handmade Charlotte. Why today? Today is the United Nations Foundation’s International Day of Happiness and the first day of spring.

My 14-year-old daughter, Izzy, and I want to change the world, and gorilla art projects are a totally awesome way to help do it. So basically we made up some quotes, thought of our favorite energized vocabulary, and then reached out to our friends at Makr to create cool graphics and print postcards for us.

We didn’t have much time because, as you know, when a good idea hits you (like starting a worldwide merry-making revolution), you need to act fast! So Izzy and I designed and printed our cards with the Makr print-on-demand feature.

How can you help us in our quest to make millions of people smile everyday? Simply sharing these images on your social media channels will help a ton. But if you want to canvas the streets, your neighbors’ doors, and local coffee shops like we are, you can print out some of the images we created here or easily make your own with the Makr app.

So let’s come together and spread positive vibrations to the entire world. You can make a difference by shining your light. Impart a positive statement to someone, and they will voice it to another. We now have motion! Keep the project rolling and pretty soon you will encourage everyone you love to Send Happy. We truly believe that spreading good news and good vibes really will make a difference in others’ lives.
