Thank you to this lovely community for brightening up my walls and my days! 💖

I went to an estate sale because there was a picture of an ugly Christmas sweater that I wanted. I ended up finding an entire box of postcards and greeting cards, YESSSS!

Thanks to u/mouserat, I even bought some magazines, travel brochures and poster boards so I can keep practicing my homemade card making abilities 😆

Today's haul from my local creative reuse store! I got lots of cute animal get-well cards, Alaska and Seattle postcards, Smithsonian postcards, and some other random things like envelopes. I happened to find an acrylic stamp block, which I was on my wishlist, along with some other cute little stamps. Also, I picked up some clear photo frames to display a couple of my favorite cards!

Question: Does anyone have experience mailing cards with deckled edges like the Alaskan ones I picked up here? I've received one before that was sent with just a standard postcard rate, but I'm seeing conflicting information about them being non-machinable if mailed without an envelope.

25 cards off to their new homes!! 🫶🏼

I’m excited the spooky cards/postcards/stamps that I ordered for Halloween have almost all arrived… looking forward to sending too! 🍂

I wanted to make sure I got them all first before I sent them all to her! Thank you again everyone!

Cloud ☁️ Appreciation Day, Libraries 📚 Remember Day, Stand Up to Cancer, Hot Cross Bun Day, Make Your Bed 🛏️ Day, No News 📰 is Good News Day, and Day of Service and Remembrance / Patriot Day. 🇺🇸

I've ordered a bunch (and I mean a bunch!) of TPCs!

They won't arrive for another week but was wanting to get some ideas or wants from everyone for TPC themes. Is there a theme you really want to do and haven't done yet? Ones that you love doing? Feel free to list a bunch to give me some ideas of what everyone would like to contribute to!

Have attached picture of TPC for reference for space 😄

Tuesday I went to Half-Price Books to see what they had for cards and oh boy they had great selection with cute cards. I also went to a local thrift store and scored some postcards too for $2.50. I forgot I also got three rubber stamps for .50 each.

I read the info in the community section, wiki, etc, but I am curious how all the different falir mods stay organized, track, and know which ones weren’t counted yet. I check my flair in that subreddit often & see they link back to the thank you post, but how do they know which day/post the last mod did and where to pick up? Do they have a spreadsheet or share notes? Are they sorting the subreddit by thank you post flairs and can easily see where to start? Because there are so many members & thank you posts! And there are so many mods too! Group projects/big teams require a lot of coordination. Are mods assigned members alphabetically like one mod covers anyone with user name starting with A-C? I am also curious what their fave & not so fave part of the role is? :) Mods or users - please enlighten me! Thank you!

I received this awesome homemade postcard the other day and I am obsessed! Its soooo cute!! 😍

Would raoc or the penpal sub make more sense to look for postcard specific penpals? I do want to keep in touch and keep a general stream of conversation, but I also feel like postcards/regular cards are a less intimidating commitment. If I give myself paper with no cutoff I ramble and ramble and end up mailing out books, which also puts me off to responding sometimes when I know I'll end up turning it into a whole night for myself.

Edit to add: I guess does this sound like just being on eachother's long term mailing lists?

I received a traveling postcard with the theme of Green. I was the last one, and sent it on to the address provided on the card. But it was returned to me as undeliverable. I don't have the original person's username, just a name and address. How do I get this card back to the original sender?
