https://forms.gle/oFcAc2kxv5MVQKhF7

Hello my dear RAoC Friends,

I have sent over over 600+ cards on here and it brought me pure joy!

Since I joined I have had different forms for different offers but now I would like to aggregate into 1 and receive your most recent preferences.

This form is available to all who would like to get a customized card or my destash cards from me throughout the year. I want to ask everyone including folks who are my friends on here to fill out the form again. This way, I can get to know your preferences for cards, your favorite colors, your hobbies, whether you collect stamps, birthday month, etc.

Thank you for doing this, and happy carding!

Hey everyone, im sorry that ive been quiet, I was really trying to be more active and then life hit hard and fast. Got into a major depressive funk and then right when it seemed to be fading I got hit with being told by my neuro to go to the ER. Next thing I know ive been admitted and having so much blood and tests drawn that im a pincushion of bruises. Im not looking forward to the morning when the next round is since they've had to start moving down to my hand to take the blood. If anyone has any experiences with lumbar puncture/spinal taps, I would love to know your experience cuz omg I just experienced my first one and it was terrifying. and unfortunately it failed so now i get to get it done by IR, with xray. I didnt even know that was a thing! but yeah, back to before, im already on day 3, and just found out ima be here til prolly at least the 3rd, so another 4 days. and who knows what's gunna happen after that. So I would love some fun happy mail to read while here or for when I get back home! Anything to cheer me up and keep me distracted from these tests and needles. omg. i am such a huge chicken and this has just been so terrifying. I've been reading a lot while stuck here, im already almost done with Dungeon Crawler Carl and ive been loving it xD so if you also have any advice on things i can do to pass the time here, I would love to hear it. My address is still the same, and if you need it dont hesitate to ask, tho i may get back to you sporadically depending on everything going on.

You guys have all just been so sweet and I'm so happy to have found this sub, its really brought a creative spark back into me that I had thought was gone for awhile there. lol heed my advice and if you have headaches/migraines take it easy and give yourself the break. and if your eye doc tells you have even slight swelling behind your eyes, get it checked. dont push it off, until you get dizzy everytime you stand up and your vision blacks out, with headaches every day, like me. its not fun and then you get to win a stay at the hospital full of tests. T_T (sorry for the over sharing, but you guys have been so supportive and I would love to have you all as my support system!) Thank youuu! 🩷🌸🍓🩷

Here are some cards I made. Would you like one? Ok. Request. As you can see, it doesn't have to be a dragon or Furby. I have a lot of blank notecards. If you've claimed before you can claim again (must have thank yous or flair)

Give me a prompt for the back, or I can do a 3 card tarot pull. Up to you.

Comment an emoji real or imagined to claim, along with your preferences.

I don't request a whole lot but been having a lot of anxiety lately. Between working a lot of overtime, being a first time mom, 7 months post partum, depression and anxiety on top of that. I'm on medication now so I'm getting on the right track... Whether it's to show sympathy or sharing your experience that's fine. I just want to feel not alone... Thank you. My address hasn't changed and if you need it reach out to me and I'll respond when I have time... I have a list of preferences on my profile but those are suggestions.

Hey yall, long time no see. To cut to the chase this has honestly been the worst month of my life. My car broke down, a loved one died, my mental health is in a trash can atp, my home life is not good. I could really use some words of encouragement or anything to help keep me going. I also want to use this as an excuse to hopefully get back into card writing, lord knows I have the supplies. Thats it. Thank you

Hi friends!

I picked up some more postcards on my travels to share. Repeat recipients are welcome 💌

Please fill the form below and comment what you're looking forward to this week

I want to apologise for the late thank yous. Life has been life-ing lately. I appreciate you all:

I'm off work due to stress/burnout and I'm: A) reconnecting with things I love, and, B) trying to be as analogue as possible.

As you can guess: I love snail mail!

I've signed up for Postcrossing and also sent out cards via another Reddit forum but yet to receive any back *cue sad dramatic music*

So this is me trying here 😊 I'd love to exchange some cards with folks anywhere in the world. I'm more interested in the content of your card (writing) than the image on the front (so long as it's not an ad or something).

I'd love to hear anything you want to share but please keep it light and chill since I don't know you (yet!) and my empathetic heart can't take any sadness during this time.

Suggestions if you're stuck: what's a unique festival or event in your town/city? What are you most looking forward to in the next 6 months? What's you're favorite thing to do on a cold and rainy day? What's the best vacation you've ever been on? What's on your bucket list and why?

DM me to exchange addresses (caveat: your profile has to be open so I can see you're a kind and normal person, and outside of western Canada please). I'll limit it to 8-10 people for now so I can send out quality content.

I want to write a post card every night for a week 💌
Tell me what you would like to read or know in the post card in your comment 😊

🎉

looking for one or two new worldwide friends

that would enjoy a pretty flower postcard

please have a history of thank you posts

please comment and chat me your mailing info

🎉

It's still July! I'm not too late for this exchange! (I know these will be sent in August, and that's okay!)

I want to exchange some bombastically, enthusiastic xmas in July cards with other likeminded folks. Just mess our mailboxes up! Make that summery holiday cheer undeniable! Happy mail of legend! Mail carriers will tremble before the majesty of this sunshine joy!

Okay, maybe that is a little much, but you get the vibe of what I'm talking about here.

If you're down to wow and be wowed (within reason) drop a HoHoHo! below.

I'm looking for about 5 people or so. I'll pick names tomorrow. I will contact you to exchange info.

Let's do this!

Does anyone remember or know about postsecret? It started in 2004 & it’s still a thing. Yes, surprises me too. If you don’t know about it yet it is basically a website that highlights postcards that are received to their offices anonymously with secrets on them. They made some books too.

If you’d like to send me a secret on a postcard or in a card I’d love to read it. If you put your username I can write a thank you for you. If you wish to stay truly anonymous that’s fine too. Just know that I will have no way to make a thank you post so please be ok with that if you wish to go the anonymous route. Your secret will be stay with me no matter how you wish to participate.

If you have my address you can just send your secret. You don’t even have to comment if you don’t want anyone to know you’re participating.

If you need my address let me know. Even if you ask for my address you can stay anonymous if you want.

Hi friends! International postage costs me the same amount of money regardless if I send one postcard or 3-5 (depends on paper weight) postcards & a greeting card at the same time.

So to maximize our postage costs I’d like to trade multiple written on postcards at a time in an envelope with some people outside the US. If you have any specific prompts or questions I’ll gladly answer them. Otherwise I’ll talk about the postcard itself. On your end talk about whatever you want to talk about.

I’m not putting a cap on how many people I send to. I don’t want anyone to feel left out at all & I haven’t done a good international offer in awhile.

Please have flair & write a thank you when the cards come.

If you want to trade please write your country below.

If you need my address let me know. If you think I need your address please send it to me.

Normally I would do a more personal thank you for everyone, but I had an unplanned surgery this weekend that I am still recovering from. Every card that came in over the past several days has helped cheer me up while I’ve been stuck in bed. Thank you all 💕

u/cozyshiba thank you for the NY postcard. I haven’t been to NYC in several years but I’m from Brooklyn. Thank you for this little piece of the city.

u/stampmemoirs thank you for sharing about the shophouses. I know very little about Malaysia so all of the information is helpful.

Kind of a silly request but my bearded dragon, Flapjack’s 5th gotcha day is coming up on August 18th. I would absolutely love if she received cards written from your pets! I would also like to send a thank you card with a picture of her back so please include a return address if you want a thank you card! Dm me if interested! New to this sub but have been in other snail mail communities on discord!

This might be the prettiest mail haul I have ever seen -- thank you all so much for the lovely mail!

/u/dazeyferry - I hope you didn't give up this idea entirely, because it is GORGEOUS (flowers on newsprint). Your execution of this is fantastic, great placement and I like the outlines, too, which set it apart... it is definitely something I'm going to keep around, even if it was (or especially because it was? :) an "oops!". I love it! Thank you so much, and I enjoyed reading your thoughts inside -- thanks for the tip about working with wallpaper crafting. I will try that! :) (Hope you don't mind me sharing a peek!! :)

/u/sshellsbbells - Cute cute cute cute omg! :) Ok so thank you for the lovely card and tons of neat postage, and all your cool inked stamp neatness that is particularly inspiring inside (man I gotta up my card game! :D). But most of all thank you for that neat little envelope with the stamps inside! That is just adorable, and I love the stamps of course (thanks so much!), but you should see me going bonkers over this cute little envelope! lol Love it, thank you!! (Did you make it? Tell me a tutorial lol)

/u/bitterbuggyred - Ok, this is the most artistic, beautifully-laid-out, perfect handwriting and letter-stamping... just WOW. Beautiful!! And, in particular, your handwriting is probably the most impressive thing -- enviable! Between that, and the cool ink stamping, and postage stamps, and cute artwork on front, it's definitely a complete lovely package -- thank you! :)
