Trouble Club July Rewards Preview

Here’s what’s coming up if you join my Trouble Club on Patreon before the end of July.

Japan Memories

This month’s theme is Japan Memories. I need to update my Japan guides so I’ll share more about how I plan my trips and find new places to visit, and write more about our 2018 adventures. I found a box of stationery and ephemera from my earlier Japan trips recently so I’ll be including some pieces in the Happy Mail packages. Plus there will be the usual wallpapers and printables.

How Patreon works

To get the Happy Mail rewards, you need to join my Trouble Club before the end of the month as Patreon charges everyone on the 1st. Some of the other rewards are available whenever you join. You can find out more in my new info page. July rewards are shared throughout August – this is the general plan but can change or be delayed:

  • Week 1 – payment processing, receive discount codes/access links
  • Week 2 – process posts, possible poll to choose certain rewards
  • Week 3 – wallpaper, printables
  • Week 4 – preview of upcoming theme/rewards, Happy Mail shipping
  • + additional posts/rewards throughout the month.
  • * Japan guide updates may not be completed during August but you will still receive the free download later even if you change tier

Can’t afford to join?

You can still follow along for free. You won’t get any of the rewards but I do make some of my posts public. Also, the $1 tier wallpapers will be shared with my newsletter subscribers the following month. You can also take part in my Surprise Mail Swap – I will often include leftovers from previous Happy Mail rewards in my reply.
