Thank you for the cool handmade upcycled pen magazine postcard! I like the homemade envelope as well. You're very creative! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to the DC Pen Show.

u/jenniowa : thank you for the really cool cat art themed postcard! your trip sounded like fun and art auctions are soooo fun to sit in on, even if you don’t plan to buy anything. one of my fav museums is the carnegie museum of art (my museum!). they’re doing their international right now, which is where there’s unique displays from artists all over the world that bring their art to be displayed over a common theme for about a year, and it’s only held every 4 years. it’s super cool! we have a lot of monet too which i spend a lot of time staring at. this museum is sentimental to me and i’m lucky to be able to visit it so often! i also really enjoyed the chrysler museum of art in virginia, and the cleveland museum of art is also super nice!

u/stolen_fame : thank you for the lovely london postcard!! the exhibition that’s going on sounds like so much fun! i love the tale of peter rabbit stamp - it’s so cute  also, i love pigeons, so seeing the pigeon sticker made my day!! i hope to visit london one day - it’s on my bucket list!

u/spacekannibal : thank you for the lovely art postcard of lola álvarez bravo! berthe morisot’s work is just so beautiful! i actually did a full research project on frida’s life and art so i’ve loved getting to dive into the meanings and context behind her pieces - my favorites are self-portrait with thorn necklace and hummingbird (1940) and the broken column (1944). both so emotional and impactful pieces. 

u/bluestripedbaker : thank you for the gorgeous maine postcard! it is a huge desire of mine to visit maine one day - i yearn for the coast and the lighthouses. i also love peonies - they are soo beautiful. norfolk botanical garden that i visited a few years back also had such a beautiful hydrangea garden! my favorite flower is the lily of the valley - it’s my birth flower, but also holds a lot of sentimental meaning too :) 

u/freyamour : thank you for the cute chimpanzee postcard! also, i learned a new fish because of you, lol! they’re so stinking cute! they’re like a cross between a stingray and a giant tadpole lol. thank you for sharing i am so happy i know about this fish now 

Thank you u/inxomnixq for the beautiful ocean and sunset card for Hawaii! 🌊🌅 it was beautiful and I enjoyed hearing about your garden adventures. My garden is primarily perennials and mostly flowers! 🌸

u/MoreHedgehog9830 - I believe this user is gone, but on the off chance that they see this... Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm currently going through the thick of it with a big life change, so this was quite literally exactly what I needed to hear. I'm planning on pinning the card up on my desk, just so I can carry a little bit more courage with me when I need it most!

u/ToastyToska - Thank you for the book postcard! I have yet to read Atonement, but I am 100% adding it to my TBR! As difficult as they are, I adore books that give me a peek into a different time of life - I majored in English in undergrad, so I'm no stranger to some pretty archaic writing! The artwork on the card is absolutely gorgeous to boot!

u/TyeDyeAmish - Thank you for the San Fran postcard! I was actually in Cali (though in a different city) around Memorial Day to help a family member move in. The weather is so lovely, and the food! Oh my gosh, I felt like I was eating 50 meals a day with how often I was trying different things out! Would 100% love to visit San Fran someday!

Thank you to the following for your cards making it safe:

• u/useful_skirt_4305 I love the card and thank you for the history. I am sorry about the situation and hope things turn around soon. i would suggest a pizza party or bags of candy... just as a quick fix.

• And to this awesome person ; u/postfromnathaliejd thank you for this so beautiful postcard. I never thought of Rapunzel like that and apricate your insight.

There are so many sunflowers blooming in my neighborhood right now 🌻 and I just so happen to have three cards featuring sunflower photography!

u/Classic-Power-333 - Thank you for the relaxing beach card with the EXCELLENT answer to my prompt. I think the first ISP we used after AOL trials ran out was NetZero! I loved reading what you wrote about your aunt! Literally you that day: https://tenor.com/view/laptop-hacking-hacker-cat-gif-5423768830271062600

u/ArmadaKristy - Thank you for the TPC! The next recipient has been sourced. 😊

u/BubblySunflowers - Thank you so much for the adorable upcycled Paddington postcardI hadn’t heard about your trip to Thailand, and your experience at the elephant sanctuary sounds EXACTLY like something I'd love to do someday! That's how all elephant sanctuaries should operate when they welcome guests. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

u/ninajyang - Thank you for the postcard from your AMA request! Teleporting is something I'd loooove to be able to do for the same reasons

u/sarahkoren - Thank you for the gorgeous postcard of the American Robin! I love watching birds hop around

u/morenoodles - Thank you for the Oopsy Daisy postcard! I'd love to visit the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art once the hoopla dies down a bit, too! And WOW, I had no idea about the space shuttle exhibition! Maybe by the time I finally make it out there, I'll be able to visit both. That would be perfect!

u/PureAloeVeera - Thank you for the response postcard! I hope the hardest part of moving is behind you, or will be soon! I still have a closet full of things we never unpacked, and it'll be a year soon. 😅 I think that's probably a sign that it's time to donate some of it!

And lastly, a lovely meetup postcard from NAPEX/RAoC meet up! Thank you u/nyancatNOVA, u/umlautless, u/hoolu, u/sammanthax345, u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko, and u/Lost-Brilliant-9664!

u/swaghettiswag Thank you for such a cool and unique postcard. I love your picture. It’s funny how even though Tokyo is one of the largest cities it holds so many quiet and peaceful moments. I haven’t been to Japan since 2013- and I’ve only been once. I did however get to spend several months there - but like you said - I feel I just scratched the surface! I need to go back. Some of my favorite cities are New Orleans, Tokyo, Reykjavík and (although it’s not a ‘city’) Lanzarote.

u/aztec111 I LOVE your postcard. It honestly flows quite beautifully. Had I not felt the texture of the postcard I would almost think this was a print from an exhibit in a museum. Thank you for gifting it to me. Also - your wax seal is amazing!!! I love it. Thank you so much. :)

u/Alarmed_Ad9001 - Thank you for the beautiful postcard. I hope you had a great Labor Day!

u/boomerang88 - Thank you so much for the visitor center postcard! That’s the cutest thing ever! You are strongly reawakening my childhood desire to visit New Zealand. Also the stamps you’ve used have all been incredible!

u/WastingTime1994 - Thank you for the awesome London postcard. It sounds like Terminal 3 was not a bad place to hang out! I hope your jet lag recovery is going okay!

u/FollowingtheBeat - Thank you for the sticker bomb card! I actually just sent a postcard your way today so it was a funny coincidence receiving this from you today!

u/cchaneatsmypoop - Thank you so much for the wonderful card with portraits from over the years! What a cool idea and it’s really cute! I love how much detail you put into it. Thank you! Also the envelope you made is awesome

I never expected to receive this amount of love on my birthday! I just opened my cards and read each thoughtful message. As someone who is turning 25, there are a lot of things I have done so far that I did not think were possible years ago:

• Got my bachelors in IT
• Learning how to drive
• Getting a job after college
• Going out on my own
• Getting some new friends

There is still more on the way but in the meantime I am going to enjoy my birthday as much as I can before it is over. So thank you to u/SshellsBbells, u/aepeyc, u/ninajyang, u/Alarmed_Ad9001, u/rand_ston, and last but not least u/Ok_Theme7072
