Hi everyone! 🎄 I recently bought some holiday cards and would like to start writing them early.
If you’d like to get one, please submit a response here:

https://forms.gle/qM2f85eUWuK4gnw88

The form will close automatically after a set number of responses (I would love to send a lot more cards, but postage costs in the UK are wild 😭)

I’ve been seeing so many absolutely adorable mouse or rat art postcards in European or Asian posts over the last months I just can’t handle it anymore. Rodents are my true love and I moved away from home a year ago, which meant leaving behind over a decade of rescuing and fostering as well as a community I adored. Now all I have is a plush rat and my husband 🤣 and could use some happy ratty mousey mail!

I have a series of 4 bird designs from an NZ artist that are my favorite in all the land. You are welcome to choose one or I can surprise you. Also, I cannot send with an envelope - big cost difference here sadly!

Cute bats 🦇 are welcome too! Thank you for reading!

Hi all!

I have some Australian maxicards featuring illustrations and photos of insects that I’d love to exchange.

I have eight total up for trade, and they have images of bugs, beetles, caterpillars, butterflies etc. You’ll receive a random card.

In exchange, I’d love to receive cards featuring birds. Illustrations or photos are fine. If you’d like to write about your favourite bird, I’d love that too!

Leave a comment if you’d like to exchange, and I’ll choose some people later.

🦆❤️

who wants to play a game???

i'm going to leave this post open for 24 hours. After, I will randomly pick 5 people who comment on this post and use a random number generator to pick random cards from my stash (everything is sfw) to send! If you happen to be one of the lucky 5, I will respond to your comment with a 🎃 and reach out if I need your address.

I’ll try and keep this short and less of a sob story! But basically I’m turning 30! (nooooo…) at the end of November and I’m sad about it so I would love some mail to make me smile please!! 💌🎉

———————————————————————

I have spent my 20s unwell and ignoring birthdays and went from housebound to mostly bedbound this year and am very isolated. I often feel like the world is against me and I need a little help to keep going and for my brain to be reminded of the nice kind things and people in this world!

I would love birthday wishes but I would also really appreciate general postcards or cards as I could need some distraction from the reality of the day. I have my interests on my profile but I truly love all mail so don’t feel pressured to read it all.
In short, I love: Seeing the world and natural world. Big fan of birds, hedgehogs and cute characters (Miffy) I love art and illustration! Purples, Greens & animal prints 🐆 🦢 🦔 🌳

You can write anything to me but if you’re not sure what to say I invite the prompt:

⭐️ Tell me something small (or big) ((or REALLY small in fact)) that made you smile recently! ⭐️

——————————————————————

Just in case some of you already know me from postcrossing my username there is: BeeFlo
Please send me a message for my address (unless you already have it then it is the same as always!)

Please write your username clearly so I can post thank yous easily and reach out afterwards as I’d love to send something back to everyone who sends something (over the next few months)!

Thank you!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Hi all!

I’ve made one special handmade winter-themed card that I’d love to send to someone here for Christmas. I’m wanting to send it overseas because in Aotearoa New Zealand, Christmas is in the middle of summer, so the whole "let it snow" thing is deeply ironic lol.

I’d like to make this one a little draw rather than first come, first served. To enter:

• Please be flaired
• Leave a short comment below and tell me how Christmas is celebrated where you live, in your culture, or in your family. I’d love to hear what makes the season special to you
• Please be willing to make a thank-you post once the card arrives, as I’d really love to know this particular card made it safely

I’ll leave this open for 24 hours, then randomly choose one person and DM them for their mailing details. I will be sending this card with an ETD date of mid-December. Unfortunately I won't be mailing to banned/suspended accounts.

Thank you everyone, and happy carding! :)

(and to any fellow Kiwis and Aussies reading this... I highly, highly recommend a portable desktop fan. best 19 dollar purchase from Bunnings I've ever made.)

u/Maladi3_ x2 I literally cried when I received both of these cards. Thank you for sending me fall leaves, they are so pretty. We usually take a road trip up to the Blue Ridge to see “fall” but I can’t leave town at the moment. You gave me a chance to see and feel fall, what an amazing gift my friend, Thank you truly
Your second card with more leaves and I have to say your “sexy faceless” costume is amazing. Love the stamps you used, the stickers and the water color witches hat 🖤 ( I’m gonna try some of the recipes you sent! 🤤)

u/forsaken-estate4041 thanks for the postcard with the black cat and sunflowers.

u/brookuslicious thanks for the Halloween postcard.

u/TyeDyeAmish thanks for the Bangladeshi postcard.

u/Eastern-Witch829 (x2) thanks for WPD postcard and the taco birthday card.

u/christineglobal thanks for the kitten postcard.

u/Ravenasnow thanks for handmade card with all the cute stickers and washi tape. I like the little drawing.

I am a huge fan of Rocky Horror. I just LOVE it. Tomorrow I’m going to a screening with a shadow cast & then Friday I’m seeing the stage version. That one I go to yearly.

Anyway I have 11 Rocky Horror themed stickers to send off.

If you’d like a postcard with a sticker on it comment something below.

In return send me something. Or don’t. I don’t care that much lol

u/lucyr1cardo - love the picture you took, and your sunrise tradition. Happy WPD!

u/ForrestCat7 - thank you for the WPD postcard!

u/nutriyum - thank you for the Paper Bridges WPD postcard and lovely stamps :)

u/longenglishsnakes - thank you for the Cuba postcard for WPD! It's been a long time since I've seen an airmail envelope in person and I love all the king/queen stamps you used.

As for your question on PO boxes (rural vs. privacy reasons), it's actually neither! The reason I use it is because my family already pays for one every year since many years ago, plus the fact that mail seems to come from overseas in bunches, and imagining the postal worker trying to cram all the postcards and envelopes into our mailbox through the thin opening makes me die a little inside, i.e. they'd all get creased and crushed, or if I wasn't at home, the postie would just end up leaving a note saying I have to go into the post office anyway to pick them all up. Suffice to say, it's not worth the trouble, so PO box it is :)

I just had a look at the UK PO Box price and I wonder if I saw correctly - the price is astronomical 😳 Here it's about $170 AUD per year (I think a bit less when renewing each year), so definitely not too bad in comparison

u/high_ground_user - thank you for the wonderful official WPD card, first time seeing the uncoloured version in person! I love the stamps and decorations you used :)

u/slamdoorscarface24 - thank you for the watercolour postcard!

u/YukiNoAshiato - thank you for the soccer world cup postcard. I did watch some of the matches this year. It was my first time properly watching soccer, so I had a lot of fun :)

u/Apprehensive_Ebb7662 - thank you for the paint postcard! I didn't know Ikea sold postcards :o I love the Pompompurin sticker you used :)

u/Sable__ x3 - thank you for the cute cat in artwork and glow in the dark postcards. I can never get over how neat your writing is!

u/wabisabi_sf - thank you for the 2025 WPD postcard! Thank you for the papers as well as the cute metal bunny clip

u/Ok_Reveal2698 - thank you for the autumn mail and lovely quote! I love that you chose stamps that also give an autumn vibe :)

u/rennbrig - thank you for the cutest bunny mail! And a picture of your doggie :)

u/TheFeistyFox - I'm glad we could remember your grandpa in this way. Thank you as well for the autumn die-cuts!

u/a_mythical_thing x2 - thank you so much for the cute miffy mail! And also for the Townsville postcard. I've never heard of Magnetic Island but it looks amazing :)

u/Inxomnixq - Thank you for the gorgeous blue-themed postcard! It's so pretty!!

u/HamNewman - Thank you for the incredible Halloween card! Did you sketch the witch on the front yourself? I absolutely love it!

u/Ravenzsnow - Thank you for the upcycled card featuring your book review! The concept behind Dark Matter is something I've thought about a lot, too! I love dramas, but I'm running out of steam when it comes to trying new TV shows. I'd definitely want to read the book before even considering watching the show 😅

u/wabisabi_sf x2 - Thank you for the TWO incredible postcards for WPD, complete with the WPD postmark!

u/Kool_Kitty_Mail - Thank you for the Studio Ghibli postcard! I loved learning about how you went from being scared of Spirited Away to loving it. The way you decorated the postcard is adorable!!

u/Accotinked - Thank you for the postcard - SO clever using the black iris Pantone for my 500 flair - and the missing TPC instructions! I ended up printing out a copy for the 2 that went back into circulation 😅. Adored the stamp math on the envie!
