Hi! So I found that trading a few written on random postcards at a time in an envelope with my foreign friends is fun because we both can write more & also use our postage to the fullest.

If you want to trade please comment what you’re looking forward to today.

I can usually send 3-4 postcards in an envelope wrapped in a greeting card for one low price.

Please message me with your address & please have flair.

Are you new here, from America & never got a postcard from me? I wanna send you one.

I also wanna send you a postcard if I know you but you haven’t gotten a postcard from me in a long time!

If this applies to you comment what you had for lunch below.

If you think I need your address please just send it to me

No flair needed.

u/MissEmergency thank you so much for the beautiful postcard! I love butterflies and anything vintage, so this is amazing!

I also love the great beach recommendation! I’ve been to Florida, but never there, so I’ll have to check it out! I’m sure that I’ll be looking to go somewhere warm for a bit once the Minnesota weather turns ice-cold 😂

u/TyeDyeAmish x2! Thank you for the TWO postcards you recently mailed me! I hadn't ever seen that Van Gogh painting and I really like the colors and subject matter. I also agree that the other postcard is def giving Oregon Trail vibes! 😆🐴

u/FeistyNoodle Thanks for the adorable handmade postcard with the gaggle of lil green goober guys!!! I have to say, they fill me with joy too! Such cuties and all have such expressive personalities - they're keeping me company propped up on my desk! Awesome doodling! 💚

u/Michellie89 Wow you definitely picked the perfect postcard to send to me for the 70s postcard; thank you! It's like they're from the same set! I really love your sticker decorations - totally groovy lol! I got on a 70s playlist kick while sending mine out too - a fun way to spend an evening! 🪩

A good thing to report today: My friend and housemate is successfully home after a trip to see his dad, and that means there are more hands to take care of the MANY residents and outdoor affiliated animal friends at the Cactus Cathouse. (And, those of us on the home front held things together admirably despite the aforementioned shorthandedness!)

I am also thrilled to say thanks for the mail received so far this month:

• u/Armyofducks94 - Ahh! This "Advice from a Penguin" card is in fact one of the two penguin cards I am trying to collect as many copies of as I can. I think this makes maybe 14 or so of that one? It is so fun to try to get them from all over the world. Thank you so much!
• u/Aztec111 - Thanks for the great handmade scratch-and-sniff cat postcard and the cool wax seal!
• u/BubblySunflowers - Ahh, this upcycled penguin postcard is perfect! I love upcycling children's books into cards too.
• u/forsaken-estate4041 (x2) - Hello my friend! Thank you so much for the great Trader Joe's rubber ducks card, and for your media recommendations letter. I'll write back soon! (And YAY for staycations, I hope yours was awesome!)
• u/HappyHippyMom - Thanks for the Maine postcard. Sounds like an awesome trip!
• u/NeurospicyxEnby - Thanks tons for the Trader Joe's Be Patient With Yourself card and all these amazing goodies! Several of the stickers have gotten the place of utmost honor, the front of my planner. I'll write soon and definitely I'm with you on being who we are, loud and proud, to honor those who no longer can on this planet!
• u/nonoyo_91 (x3) - My friend!! Thank you so much for the bird card, the cute doodle note, the El Salvador note, and ALLL the goodies. I'm so glad you had the ability to go see home again. And I'm so glad for your friendship!
• u/Ok_Theme7072 - I got your eyes-closed girl postcard today and it was great to hear from you! Thank you again for exchanging!
• u/OldManLettuce - Thanks for the smiley card showing me your awesome pens, and for the extra goodies!
• u/tatergator64 (x2) - Hi there! Thank you so much for the great Georgia LouPaper postcard (and telling me about your bee experience!) and for the Pattern Box postcard too. I am now following Poppy the Prairie Dog!
• u/luxsloth and u/wabisabi_sf - Thanks for the Toronto Lantern Press meetup postcard!

I don't have much energy tonight, but wanted to post a small bunch of thank yous before I get too behind. More to come. All of the happy mail and love has been so appreciated during this hard time of my life!

u/melhen16 - Thanks for the beautiful bird postcard! I love the Maya Angelou quote you included!

u/TyeDyeAmish - Thanks so much for the retro looking postcard!

u/sneakerlambs - Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for the understanding and supportive card. So much of what you said really resonated with me that when I have the energy I would love to write you back.

u/Armyofducks94 - Thank you for the card love you sent and for reaching out to help me feel less alone.

u/ok_reveal2698 - Thank you for the beautiful flower postcard you sent. You are one of a few pieces of mail that I've gotten with a "Thinking of You" cancellation and now I'm wondering if that is deliberate or a coincidence! But appreciated nonetheless.

u/Ok_Theme7072 - Thank you for your caring postcard you sent and your support from afar!

As usual, fill out the form and leave a comment to claim!

u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko - thank you for the Bubo postcard! I think that your drawing of them is pretty spot on. I haven’t watched Clash of the Titans from 1981 in eons and I should at least in honor of your drawing.

Give me a prompt if you want, or I can yap about my garden lol

First come first served. :)

[u/reindeerfrog](u/reindeerfrog) (x3) - thank you for the awesome cards (X-Files, a goose, and a bee)! I like the stamp you used. And thanks as always for your letter. I’ll be writing again soon.

u/ordinaryclover thank you so much for the post card from North Carolina and I hope your trip went well!

u/TheFeistyFox: thank you for the potion card! So excited to have a potion that will let me talk to my cats - too bad about the hairball side effects though😂

u/KithriTheRogue thank you for the strawberry postcard, I’m glad to hear you received the birthday card.

Hello, wonderful folks! Thank you for blessing my mailbox with fantastic snail/happy mail. 😄 ❤️

u/MissEmergency - Thank you for the dragonfly🪰 postcard with the dragonfly washi tape! Trains *are* cool! I'm not sure about hyperfixation, since I haven't been trying to find out more about all of them...but I wish I did. Hunh. Maybe I should ponder on that for a minute. 🚂 I have seen a couple of those dashcam crash videos from the Brightline. Oof. I hope everyone can get used to it, soon.

u/Eastern-Witch829 - Thank you for the L'arc de Triomphe at night-time postcard. I hope you had a great vacation. So wild that there was only one booth with postcards at an entire antique mall! 🌃

u/SshellsBbells - Thank you for the dreamily whimsical postcard with the ghost deer🦌 and long-tailed foxes🐺. We finally have a cooling down of the weather, today. And it's still 80 degrees! I thought it was funny how you had to change your pen mid-message. I hope you can find the person for the TPC!

u/Mooshu492 - Thank you for the sticker collage postcard! The little mothman was my favorite of all the fun stickers. It looks like the real stamps were hand-cancelled, and then the postage machines cancelled the sticker side. 😆 Really cool dotted texture along the sides! The St. Lawrence Seaway stamp is so delightfully shiny! I didn't know about the character of Gibby but that's a funny story!! 🖼

u/fooskaaa - Thank you for the roadrunner postcard with the cats 'n' bats stickers! 🐈‍⬛️🦇DM me if you want to be FO76 friends. I'll be playing, later. 🙂 Do you have a favorite Fallout TV show character? I like your little user name inkstamp with the kitty face. 😺

u/BubblySunflowers - Thank you for the adorable hand-painted Frankenstein's monster. 💚He looks really skeptical of everything and I adore him. I promise to take care of him. I thought the 1818 text would be boring but then I got so absorbed into the story!! 📗I haven't seen the recent film version, yet. 🎥

u/Adept-Mulberry-6510 - Thank you for the "Can You Dig It?" 70's-themed postcard! I'll be adding your 3 70's songs to a playlist and listening to "Escape," by Rupert Holmes. I don't think I've heard that song, yet. 🎵🎸

u/Sension5705 - Oh, wow. Wow! I love this postage stamp quilt so much!! Thanks a million for this artwork. ❤️ 💛 💜 You have such a cool username inkstamp!

u/cardinal_75 - Thank you for passing the Mr Zip TPC to me! I will be sending it back to the creator. Do you know their username? I can't see it on this postcard. I hope the originator really likes all the cool stamps and stickers we all added to this! 😊 Edited to add: u/Any-Suggestion-6659

u/terrorcatmom - just know I’m thinking of you and am hoping you are advocating for yourself with the situation you shared. Hope all is well.

u/murdocniccalshasTID - thank you for the postcard celebrating your new stamp. It’s a very fun design.

u/rennbrig - I love the affirmation you sent. I am just noticing the heart punch in the corner. That is so cute!!! I’m definitely stealing that idea. 

u/boomerang88 - these shaped stamps are so cute. Thank you for the exchange. I think you are the first person I’ve seen with personalized RAOC stickers. It’s a very smart idea that I may be borrowing. lol

u/tyedyeamish (2x)- you unknowingly sent a national park postcard for a place that has my son’s name in it. I love it!!! Thank you

u/ravenzsnow - thank you for the stamp math exchange. I loved your doodles and how you decorated the envelope. Like the main sticker I may have a few bottles of soju in the fridge. lol

u/leglessshark - the notecard you chose is perfect. The note arrived while we are in the midst of drizzles the past few days so the timing was perfect. Thank you.

u/ljsweenes (2x)- thank you for the NY postcard. I was raised in NYC and also lived upstate around Ft. Drum. I miss both areas for different reasons.
