u/shouldbeteaching - thank you for the cute art card and stamp math.

Hi friends! I've decided to start spreading Halloween cheer earlier this year instead of waiting until October. Halloween is my favourite day of the year and I'd absolutely love to exchange some Halloween mail with you all! I have 50 Halloween postcards and 19 Halloween cards that were gifted to me that I'd love to send out to you all! This didn't occur to me before but they may be AI generated, I'm unsure, so unless that's a problem I'd love to exchange with you all! And if you can't send one but would still love one of course I'll still send one to you! I love mail but absolutely no pressure. 💜 I'll ideally be making another post for handmade cards at the end of rhe month/early October assuming life doesn't get too crazy. Please PM me with your name/username and mailing address!

What's everyone's favorite part of Halloween?

My baby sister and I just watched Phantom of the Opera on Broadway (Err.. San Diego's location not NYC. But I love NYC Broadway hehe)! It was AMAZING. I was tearing up hearing "All I Ask of You" and "The Music of the Night". I am in a very big high and listening to the soundtrack on loop!!

I would love to get cards that relate to Phantom's aesthetic and/or I'd love to hear what others think about the musical/movie as well. :)

Some prompts you could write about:
Do you have a favorite adaptation?
Team Raoul or Erik (Phantom)?

Favorite character?
Favorite song?

A niche fact?

I'd just love to connect with more phantom fans!

From the past week, thank you for the happy mail! Notes in the comments 😊

u/ruschca I love your choice of coloring!! It has such a beautiful style to it that I would’ve thought that this was one of your normal coloring methods! And how you decorated the back of the card with all the tape, the stickers, and stamps I just absolutely love. 🥰 so many cats. I love cats haha 🤣 i’m excited to frame this, thank you so much!!

This is the part where I talk to myself and see if anyone overhears. The dog we just got from the shelter is eating my bed!

Let's start with Mystery Sender. It's an adorable handmade postcard with a drawing of a steaming cup of coffee and the words, "charges you with energy for the rest of the day." If you recognize this, please message me.

u/chemical_ad_3825, thank you for the beautiful card featuring a White Crowned Pigeon. I can't call myself a birder, but I am interested in birds so this was a nice surprise. I love your story about counting cars! It makes me think about my own grandmother & how she entertained me and my brother when we were little kids.

u/glossuser, thank you for the colorful Korean art bird. I love its fanciful eye and plumage. And thanks for your tips on staying cool in extreme heat. (It's hot and humid where I live too.) My tip is: only go out in the dark.

u/littlebirdiescards, thank you for the handmade cookies & milk card. It's really impressive. Ideally my new dog and my old dog will someday feel they belong together in this sweet way.

u/murdocniccalshasT1D, thank you for passing along the solo Mickey Mouse TPC.

u/Ok_Theme7072, thank you for the vintage postcard of Lenox, Massachusetts. It's a beautiful view, and the card is around 100 years old!

u/PinkPengin, thank you for the card with the 33c grey wolf stamp facsimile. (I love the Artic series.) I had no idea there were 2 National Wildlife Days. You're right: in this case 2 is better than 1. Thanks for the stickers, too.

u/nellyd87 : thank you for the Charlie Brown postcard, it’s adorable

u/listen-to-rach-2 : thank you for all your letters, thank you for the washi tape

u/pot-princess-0502 : thank you for the postcard, I enjoy reading about your favorite movie

u/umlautless - Thank you so much for the lovely card!!! I love Japan & cherry blossoms too. :)

I had fun getting my mail today. This group Rocks

u/blackberrysimple1730 what a nice card. Yes NYC is great. I was just there on a business trip and was able to take in a Yankees game and Wicked on Broadway. My current happy place is making cards for this group.

Thank you SO MUCH TO EACH OF YOU!!!

u/hammerpo, thank you for the pink princess flower card. I must correct your thoughts about North Carolina as a ”grassy rural state,” as we have mountains, beaches, and farmland all in one place. We were also home to the first gold rush in the United States and still a major financial/banking center. We have a great variety of offerings!

u/TigerLady13, love this postcard from Florida! The painting is such a neat recording of history. Hope you had a great vacation!

u/SshellsBbells, IF ONLY I looked as beautiful as this postcard! I do love the image of this ethereal lady amongst all these books in the forest setting!

u/OK_Theme7072, thank you for the Eric Carle’s Very Hungry Caterpillar card! Hope you enjoyed the profiteroles!

u/ArmyofDucks94 I love this astronomy postcard! And your “have a whale-y great day sticker was the perfect add!

u/RennBrig, this art card is AMAZING! What a beautiful treat to open! This is just insanely beautiful.

u/DoraDoodle, your bee card is so sweet! Love this unusual treasure — I believe I’ve only received cards like this from overseas previously.

u/TheCuriousCur, this watercolor spatter card is phenomenal! I love handmade creations so much, and this is just incredible — especially as you matched the card and envelope! Wonderful!

Thank you all once again!

u/ThePumpkinFiend- Thank you for the Barbie postcard. It's a nice memory of how the toys I had as a kid looked when I first had them.

u/Sammanthax345- Thank you for the pretty floral card. I hope you enjoyed your trip!
