- The most powerful magic in the world is friendship, so let's write some equally magical witch letters for my friends' birthdays! Complete with bookmarks, hand drawn stickers, witch's brew, and wax seals.
The downloadable sticker pack with 64 magic themed stickers are available for free to all supporters on patreon and ko-fi or you can get them as an individual pack on both directly (I recommend getting it on ko-fi if you can because it's $2 while the minimum I am able to charge on patreon was $3):

"In a world surrounded by illusion, you are the unshaken truth" absolutely knocked the wind out of me. The letter is full of incredible sentiments and the entire project is so fun and personal. Your friends are so lucky to have you in their lives, and your viewers are lucky to get to go on these project journeys with you! 💙I also get so happy when I see my name in the Patron list 🥰
Ahhhh you are just too kind as always, I adore writing in a theme, I actually think it makes it so much easier to write funnily enough. Always repeating it, but I am far luckier to have my friends and they deserve much more than this for all that they add to my life. Thank you so much for always joining me on the journey and huge apologies for replying to this so late~
@MechanicalFiend Hey, never worry about lateness! You have so much to keep up with, I'm always surprised to get a response at all! Of course I'm happy every time, but if you ever need to save spoons, never worry about feeling obligated to reply, at least to me 🩵
I know what you mean about how writing in a theme makes it easier to write, though! That's how I feel about RP when it's a character that already exists. It's just easier to navigate once you have decided parameters to work in, instead of being completely freehand.
Your friends are so lucky to have you!! This was so fun! Your writing was truly inspired. I don't think you know how talented you are. You are a treasure!! ❤
I say this every time, but seriously I am the lucky one to have them. Really happy you could enjoy them! I absolutely love writing in a theme, it's so funny- it's 10x harder when I sit down to write my Christmas cards normally than when I do these haha. Ahh just thank you for all the kind words as always, they mean more than I can say~
"This is a second steep of some Earl Gray I believe, so is a little less strong than usaul, but that's good for me..."
"It's also just what we had." ahahah
"If I can sneak an Avatar reference into a project, I certainly will".
Amazing... It was a whole movie I've seen in less than 20 min. With credits and post-credits scene.
The amount of different talents you have is enviable.
Ahhhh well that is just so incredibly kind, thank you! Doing these types of videos is always my favorite, it's like I get to work on a little short film in some ways. They are just a blast to make all around, so super happy to hear you could enjoy~
Next level editing, almost like a movie!
I am beyond honored that you would say that, thank you!
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! Your friends are very lucky indeed to know you so well to receive such a gift. Well done!!
Ahhhh you are always far too kind my friend, glad you could enjoy, of course! I'll always say it, but I am far luckier to have my friends in my life and they deserve much more than this. Thank you~
yay more themed letters!
Of course! Look forward to making them every year!
I’ve now just started getting better at writing cursive… heck I wrote my mother’s Christmas letter in cursive
Now I gotta start writing more letters
Yes! Keep writing that cursive my friend! I hope you do keep writing more letters, spread a little of the cursive love~
It's wonderful to hear you sing. Thanks for sharing another magical video 🌹
Ahhh well that is incredibly kind, thank you for watching another video and spending a little time with me! Appreciate the kind words more than I can say~
You're creativity knows no bounds! ☺
Ahhhh well that is so incredibly kind, thank you!
Ayee... that standing next you. ARMYs assemble!
Of course! Honestly a craft does not go by that I'm not listening to some BTS or their solo work!
I love when you sing in your videos. Such a sweet, peaceful voice. This is my favorite video on your channel. I don't know how to explain this video, it makes me feel so good in my heart. ❤️
Your attention to detail is inspiring!
Ahh well that's so kind of you to say, thank you! To be honest I think it'd be the best if I could let go of just a little bit of the detail obsession, maybe one day?
I love watching you create these letters, so inspiring, I would love to see what your friends think when such wonderful mail arrives at their houses, i bet they're blown away!!!
So happy you could enjoy them, I love coming up with the concepts and working on the letters every year! My friends always send incredibly nice messages of course, so from what I can tell, they enjoy receiving them as much as I enjoy sending them~
Always nice to see a new vid. As an astronomer I always love the moon imagery.
Ahhh so happy to hear that you're also a moon enthusiast (admittedly a much more official one than me), I always wonder if people are thinking "A moon again? Really?" So that is a relief to hear! Because the moons are here to stay haha!
@@MechanicalFiend The moon is one of the things that began my love of wonder as to what is out there. And I think that's a great thing. I also do nerd out about the moon all the time. I am so privileged to see something so beautiful so close through the gift of modern optics.
Yes! I love themed letter episodes! Maybe these are the most cinematic ones. And guess who else keeps all the little paper and plastic packaging bags! :D
So happy you like them, I look forward to working on them every year too! Yes! Gotta keep all the good packaging, it always comes in handy for something in a project~
omg YES!!!! i haven't watched it yet but i know i'll love it!
Hope you can enjoy!
Every year I look forward to seeing what kind of letters you wrote your friends. You inspired me too create costum birthdaycards for my friends this year!
So magical! The perfect comforting video after a long school day
Ahhh well I am so glad to hear it! Really happy you could enjoy~
the labels for stickers is such a clever idea!! definitely trying that sometime
Had the label paper for so long and was wondering what to do with all of it, so stickers was the solution haha! Now I use it every year, totally recommend it!
Upset that youtube didn't give me a notification on time 😅
Been waiting for the letters for awhile now, that's what got me started here.
Always wanted one selfishly.
As always, I hope you are doing amazing. Happy SUPER early valentines as well.
~yours sincerely youtube friend.
Well if anything, I am the one severely not on time... apologies for the super late reply! Yes! I always look forward to working on the letters too. If I could send one out to everyone, I totally would! Hope you are doing amazing as well my friend and happy SUPER late Valentines to you hahaha!
What a fun video! I enjoyed seeing your creativity as you made several items to go into the envelopes. I'm sure that your friends will be delighted to receive your letter.❤
So happy you could enjoy it, I love working on the themed letters every year! They were! Just posting the video now, but sent them back in November haha~
I would love to pay for these letters if they were a subscription service, gosh darn lucky friends you have!!
No cuz like same, the chokehold that subscription would have on me😂
To be honest I would love to do that, but it would 100% be a full time job to run a subscription service of these kinds of letters. If only I had the time!
@@MechanicalFiend maybe someday ✨
What a fun and extra special gift❤ Your friends will be thrilled!
yes! witchy letters are perfect and I love these, as always
You have an incredible talent. Thank you for sharing.
Not at all, thank you for giving it a watch! And for the super kind words, of course~
I’m so so impressed and inspired by your creativity every single time!! I love seeing all the ways that you transform little scraps or pieces of stuff that you already had into something so truly beautiful and magical… I mean this when I say that your channel is the most relaxing and inspiring corner of youtube for me! Love every video you put out.
Great work as always, Devon! I really enjoyed the effects and I will have to use the tea staining at some point. The little touches on, well everyrhing show how much your friends mean to you too.
Regarding chai... I got hooked on it while deployed so I agree with you. I definitely enjoy it om these colder nights. Add a dash of cream and a bit of sugar and it's perfect for my taste.
Thank you thank you, glad you could enjoy it, as always! Tea staining is so much fun, especially if you love the smell haha! I will admit that I pretty much only drink tea cold, even in the cold months. I'm just not really a hot drink person, but pretty much all teas are fantastic cold, including chai!
the mushrooms are so cute! i always love seeing you go the extra mile to change the theme around you too. i appreciate all the effort you put into your content!! i also really enjoyed hearing you sing in spanish, your voice is so soothing :D!
The mushrooms were one of my favorite stickers, they're super fun and easy to draw! Thank you so much! Truthfully I think at times I put a little too much effort that is unnecessary haha, but I appreciate you saying that more than I can express. Thank you for all the super kind words~
i cannot express how much comfort and joy these videos bring me!
you have such a creative mind, and i’m so grateful that you take the time to create and share them with us!
thank you SO much for your channel!!
and thank you so much for bringing so many of us an immense amount of joy!!🤍
Ahhhhh you are always too kind, your comments always bring me the same in return, so thank you! Apologies for a super late reply, but thank you so much for giving the videos a watch, I am beyond grateful that you choose to spend a little of your time with me to make things 💜
Your friends must be truly great friends to warrant one of your creatively charming letters. Very well done, as always. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I say this every year, but they really really are the best friends and deserve much more than just this for everything they add to my life. Thank you so much for giving it a watch, as always- really happy you could enjoy~
If anyone wants to send letters through usps, make sure they're not too small or too thick! there are requirements for both for their sorting machines
Yes! Although I know there are also specific nonmachinable stamps for things that won't go through the sorting machines as well. I always measure to make sure everything will fit though!
YAYYYY ANOTHER POST!!!
Talk about multi-talent. Is there something you CAN'T do? Your friends should be happy to have you sending letters like these, i know i would. Another nice video :)
Ahh well that is very kind of you to say, but indeed there are many many things haha! Really glad you could enjoy them, they're a blast to work on, so if anything I'm happy to be the one sending them~
Watching your videos is like entering to a magical world with all the good feelings❤
Stooooop I'm going to combust, that is so incredibly nice! Your comment has also given me all the good feelings~
YES YES YES YES
Hope you can enjoyyyyy~
I love your letter writing videos ! In this age where cursive writing and the art of writing actual letters has been largely forgotten, your are a refreshing reminder. Your witch outfit and make up were also great. Love the hat ! I along with many other of your other subscribers would love to have a cool friend like you.
Listening to you sing is always a treat.
Of course the production values of your video were superb. As always I look forward to your future projects.
Sci Fi themed letters ?
I hope 2024 is a great year for you.
Cheers !
The letters are always something I look forward to working on every year, getting to design everything around a theme is just such a blast. So happy to hear you could enjoy it! A very specific sci-fi theme is on my list, not sure when I'll end up doing it. Eventually though! Hope 2024 is a fantastic year for you as well my friend~
omg this is absolutely beautiful
Ahhh well I am completely honored you thought so, thank you so much!
@@MechanicalFiendyou make me inspired and excites to send letters like these to my loved ones!
I just like to say you are so Awesome and talented I would Definately love to be one of your friends whom receive these themed letters you write and the stickers and tea/ aka potion and bookmark with ingredients is So creative! You are So talented , your friends so lucky . Just watching your videos inspires me .
Heck yeah! I still can’t believe another year flew by already but these videos are always great! Loved the combination of the different stationery, the colors, the small details, it truly captured the spirit of the season!
I seriously can't believe it either, it's wild that it's already February too. The year just started yesterday! Thank you so much! You know I always love working on these and this was such a fun theme, gotta have a little bit of fall and Halloween all year~
Yayyyy new fiend vids!
Indeed! Hope you can enjoy~
Outstanding! I adore all of your videos, but I must confess your letter videos are my favorite. Writing letters is really special, and I love to go all out for my friends too! And I love that you used your white lotus seal again. I love using wax seals! Um, is there a way I can gift you a wax seal kit? I would be happy to send something like that to you! XOXO
Ahhh well that is truly the best thing to hear, I look forward to working on the letters, always! Making things that you know are going to people you love is the best. Totally, the (faux, in my case) wax seals are one of my favorite parts of the letters. And I appreciate that you would want to send one so much, oh my goodness! Unfortunately, I don't have a way to receive anything safely at the moment, but I am beyond grateful that you would offer. The fact that you watch the videos is already more than I can ask for! Thank you so so much 💜
I like the theme im gonna make also letters❤❤
Yessssss! I wish you the best with it! If you wanna share when you're done, I'd love to see it~
I like watching your videos while I play video games. I have a few cool dioramas you would appreciate. When I get my display the way I want it someday I’m gonna make a video of it and share it.
That is so cool to hear! Totally would love to see them, if you do make a video one day, definitely send it my way~
Great work
Thank you thank you so much!
Wow, you’re incredibly creative, love it!!
Very cool idea!
Have a nice weekend
Thank you thank you! Glad you thought so! Hope you have a lovely week as well my friend~
@@MechanicalFiend You're very welcome! And thank you ☺
You know, if you bought a printer, your whole world would change. I print all my stickers, bookmarks, cards, banners, prints AND I use inkjet printable shrink plastic and I can make earrings, charms, plant stakes and a lot more. I use an Epson Eco tank.
The point of this channel is that she enjoys crafting things herself
I do actually have a printer haha, I have used it for pieces in a couple of projects! To be totally honest, I don't use it all that much because ink is ridiculously expensive and as mentioned, I do really get a lot of joy out of hand crafting things. Especially for something like this, it just feels a little more personal to me. But printers are great tools!
I love your videos! 😀👍🦋
Ahhhh well that makes me the happiest to hear, thank you, as always! So glad you can enjoy~
@@MechanicalFiend 😀👍🦋🎉💚🌟
So so beautifully magical 🧙💛✨
Ahhh I am honored that you thought so, thank you so much for saying that!
You’re amazing
Always love these! Such great ideas ✨
I’m going to use this with my boyfriend. His theme is a bit of a challenge though 😂
also, how do you put on those faux seals?
do you just paste them or....?
Yeah! I just put them on with a glue stick as it's the easiest!
:3
:D
i wanted to write YOU a letter but my penmanship is horrible so i'll just leave this comment instead / =
Impeccable penmanship isn't essential to write a letter! But I appreciate a comment greatly, thank you my friend!
Found you and your videos through a mention in the Postcrossing website. What a delight you are. SUBBED!!! 😊🫶
