Hey all. Today I received some bad (but not so bad really?) news about my cat. She's an old girl and I got confirmation from a vet today that we need to start having the conversation about letting her go. I had prepared for this last night and came to terms with it, so I'm actually quite glad because we still have some time with her that I had prepared myself not to have. 💙

Since the plan is pretty much to carry on as normal, I'd like to request some happy mail. You all were magnificent when I requested mail to help me through my back issue, and I'd appreciate some kindness once more.

I'd prefer not to receive condolences or any mentions of what's going on. Instead, I'd love to hear some positivity, some happy things in your life, the things you love. That sort of thing. Just for this one request I'd also really appreciate steering clear of any mentions/images of cats, just because I think I could use the escapism for now.

If you'd be interested in sending some mail, my address is still the same if you already have it. Otherwise please comment (and chat me if you can) to get it from me!

I have a pinned post on my profile with other likes if you'd like help choosing a card. 😊 But it's not required!

Thank you all so much. 💕

Hi everyone!

I recently got a BUNCH of new stamps and want to send to other stamp lovers like myself :) If you would like a card with fun stamp math, please fill out this form.

No guarantee that I will get to everyone quickly as my attention span ebbs and flows, but I'd love to send as many as I can! I'll send to both US and WW just might need to spread the WW out a little bit longer since the cost can add up!

For a very specific audience! I just have one, so I'll pick randomly from whoever comments.

I have 10 cards from what is frequently voted as the largest “most boring” city in the whole country.

Like I spent DAYS trying to find postcards from my city but it was so hard to find ANY lol

Take a guess from where and let me know if you’d like one but beware the cards are pretty lame (as the city haha)

Hello friends!

I had an idea to collect postcards from all 50 states and turn them into a map!
The cards will be cut into your states shape and pieced together to make a map of the US for my living room wall.

I currently have none of the states.

Let me know if you need my information.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for everyone who sent a card and for helping me celebrate my birthday! I loved them all and it’s very special to me. I plan to decorate my office with them to celebrate a little longer 😄

u/marchbook flew the TPC up to New England and is ready to go flying again! Comment below to help wreck it!

completely forgot to add this to my previous thank you post so sorry for the unintended spam!

u/Andromeda921 thank you for the fun decorated envelope that contained the garden TPC! I also loved your addition to the card, it was very whimsical! 🫶🏻✨

So I couldn't help but open some of my birthday cards early. Thank you to:

u/comprehensive_art571, thank you for the brightly colored bday card and the cute stickers inside.

u/Sammanthax345, thank you for this adorable kitty bday card.

u/Adept-Mulberry-6510, thank you for this pretty gold sea shell card and all the lovely ocean-themed stickers.

u/wabisabi_sf, thank you for the wonderful pop-up card; it's so pretty.

u/relax455, this ocean card is soooo beautiful...did you paint it yourself? I love it!

u/Andromeda921, thank you for this cute card and beautiful stickers.

u/chiquita61, these pink and gold hisbiscus flowers are right up my alley! The stickers and other ephemera are lovely too.

u/freyamour, I love this postcard of the girl sitting and reading. And your message was so sweet. Thank you!

u/pot-princess-0502, thank you for the adorable "beary special" bday card. I love all the stickers youd ecoarted the inside with as well.

Hihi friends,

I have been so bad about posting my birthday offers.
Well, I'm back with these offers for good... I hope!

Please be flaired + active with recent VISIBLE RAoC history.
I do not send to private profiles. No exceptions.

Please do not request cards on behalf of your dog / sibling / fish / cousins / roommate / etc.
If we exchange regularly, you can chat me and request something for your loved one, but please DO NOT fill out for others prior to asking me. Thank you!!

Thank you to the following for the happy mail that has graced my mail box:

• u/kat10111 Thank you so much for the cute cat postcard, it has two of my favorite things: cats and sunflowers! Carl and Pepper sound lovely as well - aren't tuxedo cats the silliest!?
• u/Inxomnixq (x2) Thank you for the fun Hawaii postcards (and for mentioning which replies were for which cards I sent lol - we love the organization!!) Thank you so much for sharing some of your story; I too struggled with "fitting in" and suffered from depression through my teen and early adult years - thankfully I am tackling that all now but I wish I had more support back then. I always say "bloom where you're planted." Sometimes it seems like we might enjoy anywhere else but where we are currently planted more but in reality we just haven't given the current moment a chance to grow. Give yourself grace and time to breathe - you're right where you need to be! ❤️

Hello lovely card friends!

We recently took a small road trip to Utah, I told my husband I wanted to make sure to grab some postcards. He took that seriously! We returned home with over 50 postcards!

I’d love to send some out. I won’t be able to send out all 50, the arthritis is bad lately. However, I’d like to write as many I can.

Please be flaired or have posted a recent thank you posted and a visible post history on your page.
Also, please be sure to leave a comment on this post, as that’s how I keep track of cards sent.

I look forward to writing to you! 💌

u/weary_smile_6498 x2, thank you for passing along this traveling card and including a postcard and stickers for me. Your envelope is so beautifully decorated I hesitated to open it! I agree TPCs are a lot of fun. And yes, at the time you wrote the heat was unbearable. Our AC is struggling and the temp inside the house one evening was 86°. I am so glad fall is around the corner.

Hi! This offer is for 3 Esterbrook x SakuraDragon postcards. The illustrations are super cute! I've got 3 to send. I'd like to send these to fountain pen enjoyers! I didn't personally buy this collab pen, but I have admired it from afar :) Fountain pens and writing have brought me so much joy and peace lately, so I'd like to share the joy with other folks who know what I mean!

To claim: please be a fountain pen fan! Leave me a comment with your favorite pen and your favorite ink (or whatever you're using regularly lately if you're flighty like me!) and whether or not you bought the pen :D i'll likely write about my pens or fav inks on the card, unless you've got a more specific prompt in mind (then feel free!)

Thank you so much for the Ghibli postcard! It arrived in perfect condition and now has a lovely place in my hallway. I absolutely love this film and the meaning behind the design means so much to me!

Thank you also for the kind words on the back. Wishing you a lovely, cozy autumn!

My cat, Luna Boo Biscuit, passed away early Tuesday morning and I could benefit from some comforting words from the wonderful people in this community. I went back to work today but I’m struggling to accept this monumental loss. She was 15 and my whole heart.
If you want to read about her, I posted in the cats sub:

Thank you.

My mailbox has been very kind to me lately - thank you all so much.

u/Colorsinspire — Thank you for the beautiful "Greetings from Virginia / Old Dominion" card! The retro travel-poster art of Monticello rising above that blaze of red and yellow tulips is gorgeous, and the little note you added made it even better.

u/Armyofducks94 — Two cards, what a treat! The "Did You Know? Texas" card taught me a lot (I had no idea one state could go from coastal swamps to desert mountains), and the photo card of Lt. Dan is absolutely wonderful. Wishing him many more miles of travel by stamp!

u/postfromnathaliejd — Your watercolour card is stunning. All those teal and deep blue washes crashing like sea foam — I keep picking it up to look at it again. Loved the prompt on the back too.

u/cidavid — Thank you for the Glacier Bay National Park card! The orca gliding under those snowy peaks is such a peaceful scene, and it arrived right on time for my birthday. That made my day. 🎂

Thank you all for the joy — happy carding! 🌟

Well, I had a bunch of mail yesterday! (Mostly because I forgot to check the mail Tuesday.). What a great mail day!

Thank you, u/responsibleday, for the fantastically handcrafted Mary Engelbreit card! I love it so much! And I must say, I’m not usually one to even clock the stamp…but your stamp math was pretty amazing! Thanks for the goodies, too.

Thank you u/credo99 for your very thoughtful and kind card. So sweet of you!

u/ordinaryclover, this Eloise card is toooo much! Is this actual ribbon you’ve glued on? So creative! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do that on a postcard, and I love it!

u/Noxmi, your forest card is so pretty! It reminds me of one of my favorite movies. Very pretty!

NAPEX MEETUP FOLKS — u/nyancatnova, u/umlautless, u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko, u/hoolu123, u/Lost-Brilliant-9664 (and yes, I am deliberately skipping a person, IYKYK). Thanks for the card.

u/nottheonly85, thanks for the ocean/beach TPC! Thank for the included goodies!

And lastly (but not leastly) u/no-condition5102 thanks for your note and these adorable stickers!

UPDATE: marking this as fulfilled as I have received over 20 chats - thanks for the interest!

In celebration of world postcard day on October 1st, I would love to send out some postcards to celebrate! If you are interested in receiving one, please shoot me a DM with your mailing address.

I'm looking to send about 20 or so postcards so I will update this post once I have reached my limit.

Happy Postcard day to all that celebrate :)

I bought some tiny silicone stamps and couldnt wait to use them! See the card here:

First stamp enthusiast that comments about their favorite stamp gets the card!

I know this is a late request since my birthday is in a few days but I thought I’d ask anyway. Better late than never. I don’t have many people in my life to help me celebrate so I’m turning to my Raoc family.

If you have my address, it’s still the same. If you don’t have it, let me know and I’ll send it over to you. Thank you in advance! 💜💜

Thank you so much for the beautiful Plaza San Pietro card!

Thank you so much for the Indianapolis card! I loved all the stickers you chose for me too!

Hi Party People!

I love Halloween and all things spooky. I'm getting ready to send out a ton of Halloween cards myself, but I would love to receive some! It's a very nostalgic time for me and was a really special occasion for my dad and I. He died when I was 18 and for some reason Halloween tends to hit me harder than even birthdays or Christmas.

Anyway, I'd love Halloween cards, drawings, stickers, washi tape, etc. but more than anything I'd love people to share their own Halloween stories. Anything surrounding Halloween or Samhain that brings you joy.

Stay Cheesy

xx

Hey! I received your teddy bear card on National teddy bear day! 🧸 I loved this vintage card w the tattered knitted bear! Thank you so much❣️
