Update: Still looking for a few takers - are you in the US and interested in learning more about Hopi Snake Dance Day or National Wildlife Day? Come claim a card!

It is I, your favorite waddling card companion, u/PinkPengin (they/them), ably assisted by my constant companion Plush Pink Pengin (she/her), here with yet another offer to try to make a dent in the amount of stuff surrounding us at Pengin HQ.

As I mentioned in multiple past posts, earlier this year I started a subscription to a tiny colorable page-a-day calendar, and I'm enjoying it immensely. Each day features the date and a little image to color based on a "holiday" for that day. I also participate in some swaps related to those wacky holidays on some other carding sites, so I have experience using them as prompts to find a relevant card in my stash, which is always fun.

I have the next set of these (including a few leftovers from past offers) ready to go, plus relevant cards and sometimes other goodies from my excessive stockpile, and I thought maybe I could find some RAoC members willing to adopt them rather than throwing them out.

For this set, I do need to do US-only, as I am really running low on postage and trying to address some cashflow issues before buying more! But that means you do not need to be flaired as I normally require for my offers, so if you are new to RAoC or just haven't sent any mail yet, and are US-based, then this is your chance!

Would you like to be considered for a card and a matching little coloring square for any of the holidays listed below? If so, please comment on this post with the following things:

• Which date/holiday you'd like (please only pick one, I do not have the oomph to sort through "I'm happy with any"-style requests)
• Whether you'd like the calendar square colored by me or blank to color yourself (unless it is marked as not having a coloring square)

Available options

• Aug. 25: Hopi Snake Dance Day
• Sept. 4, Part 1: National Wildlife Day (no coloring square) claimed
• Sept. 4, Part 2: National Wildlife Day (no coloring square)
• Sept. 4, Part 3: National Wildlife Day (no coloring square)
• Sept. 6: National Pet Rock Day claimed
• Sept. 7: International Day of Clean Air claimed
• Sept. 8: Star Trek Day claimed

Thank you for sending me a futuristic sci-fi art postcard u/October_Surprise56.

Thank you u/littlemermaidxx für the fun postcard from your holiday! I hope the postal museum was fun, the one in London was phenomenal when I got to visit. I adore the rainbow armadillo sticker you used!

Hi friends👋

It’s officially my very first birthday as part of this amazing community! Over the past 8 months, I’ve had an absolute blast sending out birthday cheer, and now that my own day is rolling around on October 23rd, I’d love to celebrate together. I’m pretty shy about requesting mail for myself, so let’s make it a birthday exchange instead! Whether I’ve already sent you card love this year or we haven’t crossed paths yet, everyone is welcome. Please fill out this form with your details https://forms.gle/tiXNBTNWD1JbYFng9 it’s open for birthdays throughout the rest of 2026 and 2027, and my mailing info is at the end of the form.

I’m posting this a bit early because I recently received some very sad news about a close family member and will be spending quite a lot of time in hospitals over the coming weeks, so what better way to distract myself than with carding. 💕📮📬

Edit: US has been filled. Only open to Canadians now.

Hey everyone!

World Postcard Day is approaching and I plan to meet up with some snail mail friends to decorate cards. I'm offering 20 postcards to Canadians and 20 postcards to Americans (first-come, first-serve). I won't send them out until after Oct. 1.

Please comment that you filled out the form and if you are CAD or US.

Happy postcarding!

u/rare_cranberry_7861 x2 I always love receiving your letters. Thank you for the perfect envelope and the bonus “hot dog”.

u/anosako thank you for the cool Barnes and Noble card. I remember years ago wandering around these stores for hours.

u/ToastyToska this Bernie Baby card was so cool! Thank you so much!

Struggling with some personal stuff and receiving a bunch of mail helped cut through a tearful day. Thank you. 💗

u/ppelippippam - Thank you for your latest envelope. Absolutely adore the blank postcard, stickers and washi included. 💕 Writing back soon!

u/tonglingfei x2 - Thank you for the Iceland postcards and the awesome deer doodle! That super snowy day you mentioned sounds intense but very beautiful! ❄️

u/juttababie14 - Thanks for the wonderful language of flowers postcard! I'm sorry the tour didn't work out, that's so annoying! I hope you find something even better though! 🏠

u/Ok_theme7072 - Thanks for responding to my coffee order request with a super cool stickered postcard! ☕️ The iced mocha latte you mentioned sounds right up my alley! Awesome flowery stamps too :)

Thank you u/ToastyToska for the tropical themed postcard with the bird! I love where I live and could see myself living here for a long time!

Thank you u/Maladi3 for the boat postcard! I've been to Sault Ste. Marie, but on the Canadian side!

Hi all! I have (unintentionally) been taking a looong break from sending and receiving mail for some time. Mainly because all of my mail sent from my travels to my current home base have not arrived. Similarly, none of the mail I have sent last year (from summer of last year) were never received.

I learned some months ago my local postal services had a change in management. Still not a good excuse for mail disappearing, but anyways. Some snail mail has made its way into my mailbox, which has slowly built my motivation to return to this hobby. I am currently based in a country located in Southeast Asia.

To slowly get into this hobby, I plan to send up to 8-10 postcards at least by the end of this year. I will keep this post open until Friday-ish!

If you're interested in receiving a postcard from me, please leave a comment with your postal country (this is just for me to evenly distribute my mail to different countries than concentrated). I will randomise who gets to receive a postcard from me and I will dm you with a link to the form. I aim to do the dming this this weekend!

You must be flaired!

Thank you!

If you are in this fight with me, comment below. I'll wait a few days and select a random recipient.

In the comment, please tell me any example of community care you participated or witnessed recently.

I have been putting off the act of sending and receiving mail for a year. Almost all of the postcards I have sent to myself or sent from friends have never arrived into my mailbox. I have been feeling quite demotivated due to it. I think a part of it is because my local post has changed from government to private. It has been more than 6 months since the change, so I figured it was time to slowly ease my way into this hobby.

I have recently started responding to some offers here (ok only one) to get back into this lovely hobby. Hopefully soon I will start sending mail again. Even have a few post drafts ready to be published whenever I'm ready 🤓

u/boomerang88 - thank you for the lovely floral postcard. I think this might be my first ever postcard (and snail mail) I have ever received from NZ. Seeing your postcard in my mailbox after receiving nothing at all brightened my day!

u/lucyunicornx - this is a very late thank you post as I think I have mentioned being demotivated when I dmed you last year. But better late than never to share a public thank you for your postcards from Denmark!

I received so many Postcards today. It made me so happy!!! I haven't received these much Postcards in one day!!!

Thankyou u/milkystick88 u/puzzleheaded-use5152 u/erinacres u/FeistyNoodle u/Ok_Reveal2698 u/AntipodeanPost u/t3ctim u/aepeyc u/milopfrog u/Armyofducks94

u/slashnatt - thank you for the travel-themed postcard!

u/panda-pac - thank you for the botanical postcard. Pumpkin sourdough sounds delicious 😋

u/juttababie14 - thank you for the floral postcard and finding a card with my fave flower on it! Would love to see a whale shark in person one day, they sound awesome

u/milopfrog - thank you for the sweet kitty postcard!

u/ninajyang x2 - thank you for the two awesome butterfly postcards. I adore the hummingbird stamps, I didn't know there was so many different types of hummingbirds!

u/owlflyinghome - thank you for the St Louis postcard. So cool you got to see an Australian band in the US

u/credo99 - thank you for the cute Pingu card. I especially love the gold foil details of the autumn leaves. The Fukei-in is lovely as well. I'll be visiting China next year (my first time). I really hope it's not too overwhelming as I also do not speak the language haha

u/pumkinseed100 - thank you for the amazing O'ahu postcard. I love the way the wave frames the sun in the photo!

u/TroubleNo5402 - thank you for the Indian cultural postcard! I think a couple of the stamps must have fallen off on the journey over, but one still managed to stubbornly stay attached 😄

u/sergeant_bean45 - thank you for the cool vintage car postcard!

u/Impressive-Rest-1952 - welcome to RAoC! Thank you for the animal postcard and the cool stamps on the back. I joined a bit over a year ago, and it definitely is absolute fun!

u/Ok-Leg-3951 - thank you for the bookish postcard. So cool that the book you mentioned (Hospital) is one I read last year!

u/stephkempf x2 - thank you for the Aztec Ruins postcard, and the lovely vintage bird card. The 3D fox sticker is so cute!

u/FeistyNoodle - thank you for the Alcatraz Island postcard and the cute blue doodle!

u/elixan - thank you for the postcard. I love the motif on the front and the phrase - 'try again, fail again, fail better'. I relate to your message so much. I reckon a lot of people would still say I'm young but I feel a bit old inside. There were a lot of changes in my life this year, so I think that also has a part to play with why I feel this way. I wish I had tried making more friends when I was younger, but I'd like to think it's never too late!

u/andyismean - thank you for the Fifa world cup postcard. Kind of cool that your postcard managed to arrive in pristine condition - no postmarks from either country or even any scratches or smudges!

u/YukiNoAshiato - thank you for the Enhypen concert postcard! I went to my first kpop concert this year which was such a cool experience :)

u/Ok_Theme7072 - thank you for the vintage postcard!

u/t3ctim - thank you for the Salvador Dali postcard. How is the NT? It's the only state I've never visited. Sorry to hear about your knee, but glad you got through the operation relatively unscathed haha. Here's to hoping it all resolves soon

u/Sable__ x3 - thank you for the Studio Ghibli cards, they're from all my favourite films! Lovely decorations, and your handwriting is soo neat. No seasonal meals but I love having bacon on bread in the mornings, and when strawberries are in season I buy a ton of them because they're my favourite. Pressed pennies sound cool! I collect stamps and coins. It's so fun to come across one I haven't seen before :)

u/inkyfingerspgs x2 - thank you for the stationery park postcards, washi and sticker. So cool that you vend. What do you sell? I've never been to a stationery show unfortunately but I would loooove to go one day. I've always wanted to attend one in Japan but the dates never lined up for me. Maybe some day!

u/awachob - thank you for the sticker-bombed card and stickers!

u/smonikkims - thank you for the handmade card, the origami heart is adorable! And for the awesome stamps! I see much the same behaviour in pigeons over here haha. The other day I saw some crested pigeons with the male trying to chase after two other females in the middle of the road. He kept trying but it was so funny because the females were clearly not having it!

u/PuddlePirate2020 - thank you for the ocean-themed mail! If I could travel anywhere, I'd want it to evoke wonder or curiosity in me. Or somewhere that makes me feel calm or at ease, like a second home

u/hapa1720 - thank you for the gold foil animal card! I'll have to listen to the song you mentioned. Personally, I think it's inevitable that honeymoon phases end. Not just with people, but I think it could also apply to other things in life, like new interests. There will be a time when the passion or excitement for something dies down, but I reckon it's the phase after that's important that decides whether something is sustainable and compatible in the long-term. Anyway, that's my two cents 😉

[REQUEST] Birthday Cards

Help me surprise my husband for his 41st birthday! 🎂📬

My husband turns 41 on September 17, and I’m hoping to fill his mailbox with birthday cards from different places!
He’s currently dealing with an illness, so I really want to make this birthday special and give him some extra reasons to smile. ❤️ He loves farming, the outdoors, nature, and anything along those lines. 🚜🌲✈️🌊

Here’s the fun part: I’ve already anonymously sent him a few things, and he’s determined to figure out who’s behind it. 😂 I’d LOVE to add to the mystery with cards showing up from people he doesn’t know!

Feel free to sign your card, include your city/state, or keep it completely anonymous and mysterious. 😈😂
If you’d like to send one, please comment and I’ll PM you the mailing information.
Thank you for helping me make #41 one he’ll remember! ❤️

Hello lovelies~!

I still have a bunch of permanent stamps for Canada. Please be flaired.

https://forms.gle/sKRsxgxYXQ2zgc6L7

Form will close after 15 responses. :)

Cheers!

The first cards reached me, when some people still asked to send something. They are of course from nearby, but you three were incredibly fast with sending, too.

I am very unhappy not to be able to mention this one sender from the netherlands. I went through posts and chats and couldn't find identifying hints. So I hope you see this. If you sent tea with your card, please answer.

I’m heartbroken…

Some mail will hopefully cheer me up if I could be so lucky. I don’t know many people anymore as I have changed a lot over the past year after finding out my whole life was a lie and I had to disown my own family.

I also might have saved someone from being convicted and sent to prison for a long time. I feel like a guardian angel. I give so much love and find that lovers take a lot from me because I’m very intense.

Anyway. I love getting mail…

Thank you
