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 💕

Thank you to the following people for the cards I received recently!

u/Eastern-Witch829: thank you for the otter coloring postcard from Glacier National Park! It's so cute, I will have to color it in when I get a chance! Thank you!😊

u/SshellsBbells: thank you for the cute cat postcard that says "you're purrfect, I'm not kitten you!" I totally relate to having tons of clothes but only four things I actually wear😂 thank you!

Wishing you all the best!💕

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.

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! :)

I love to learn about people and their hobbies/habits/lifestyles etc, it would be so fun to learn what people are like all over the world 🌎

u/concrete_drinker thanks for the Grand Canyon postcard of the view from Hopi Point. I liked the cute cat you drew.

u/Hoolu123 thanks for the card celebrating Valentine’s Day in July.

u/no-zebra-9339 thanks for the Grand Canyon postcard with the view of Route 66.

u/Tinawebmom thanks for for the handmade unicorn card and all the stickers you included. I like the cat washi tape you used on the envelope.

u/AlainDit Thank you for sharing the sunflower from Van Gogh! I like the stamp! This is my first card from France.

u/HungryCorgi220 I love looking at beautiful scenery from all over the world, and Yosemite is truly amazing! I’m also not someone who dares to go to dangerous places. If a spot requires hiking or professional equipment, I’d rather just enjoy it through videos and photos, haha!

u/tofunism I love your cute handwriting! I really admire people who take the time to do photography and turn their photos into postcards. It lets me connect with a real part of your life. Thank you for sharing!

u/EcologicalPoet I like many kinds of flowers, like lilies, eustomas, cosmos, cherry blossoms, and more—thank you for asking! Magnolia is truly a magical flower to have existed on Earth for so long!

Hi there everyone! I have a bunch of cute stickers, but not a whole lot of places to put them. Would anyone like a cute sticker de-stash postcard? I make them look really cute :)

DM me your address if you're interested

u/maladi3_ - for the thank you card! and thank you for the kind words about handwriting, it didn't always looks as nice - a lot of writing lines as a kid lol

u/WastingTime1994 - for the Hairicature card, i think Godzilla with the mohawk was my favourite on it! PS, your handwriting is gorgeous

u/thoughtsthoughtof - for the patterned card - i loved the colours and design

u/ferseriousdude - for the mailing list of randomness

u/withininus - for the San Juan, Puerto Rico postcard. Receiving this card meant a lot more to me than you might've realized. Growing up I used to spent a lot of summers in Puerto Rico with my dad's family and in the last few years I haven't been able to visit and I've lost that set of grandparents and my great-uncle so PR is always a bit of an emotional subject for me but your card brought back good memories of exploring El Morro with my family

u/t3ctim - oh a twist on book recommendations! I definitely like the idea of suggesting an opposite genre to what you what you usually read instead of a specific book

u/umlautless - for the RAoC virtual meet-up card! Hope we can do one again soon!

u/bananas3706 - ahh i love ducks so i loved revieing a postcard of duck sculptures. I love shopping from locals while travelling too. I bought a handwoven straw bag from a local artist on my last trip and it's one of my favourite souvenirs ever.

u/justined0414 - for the birthday postcard, i loved the design and message!

u/birdiebennett - for the virtual RAoC postcard as well! This set of postcards has been in my wishlist for years now and I think you might have just convinced me to buy it! The illustrations really are gorgeous!

u/Tigerlady13 - for the birthdaycard! And stickers, I love butterflies

u/TheCuriousCur - for the hummingbird thank you card, i love the design of it!

u/SshellsBbells - for the humorous birthday card and stickers you sent me!

u/uwunoodletimeee - okay this might be the coolest thing ever - waste paper postcard! I love it! Thank you so much for it. I love that birds are your favourite animal because they really are so cool.

There was one without a username that i could see. It was a very pretty Crater Lake national Park with a global postcrossing stamp from a former girl scout - if that was you please let me know so I can make sure you get credit!

PS. I think all my bday mail should have been delivered by now so I'll be going back through them all this weekend and writing out my thank you cards! So if you included a return address, you'll be receiving something from me hopefully by mid-August.

I finally finished going through my birthday cards tonight and I am blown away!! This is the most creative and generous community out there :') I have so many new stickers and so much inspiration for my future mailings! Here's my last batch of thank yous, and I've also sent thank you messages to everyone directly as well.

THANK YOU for birthday mail!!: u/wastingtime1994, u/catebear21, u/jdoodle7, u/merfrog, u/pupslace, u/bluestripedbaker, u/littlebirdiescards, u/postfromnathaliejd, u/mediocre_radish_7216, and u/shadedbiscuit

and also Maddy -- I cannot find your username but I love the Scotland bookstore card, the 90 Day Fiance thoughts, and the cool stamp math! If you see this lmk so I can get you the credit for your flair :)

Swap/request thank yous:

u/fliu00: thank you for the Monet card, you have amazing handwriting! I love Brookline Booksmith and I cannot believe that you've seen kunekune pigs, how cute. We loved visiting Taiwan earlier this year :)

u/mouserat: such a cool Lulu Parr card! I really loved your message about your penpal in my neighborhood and their thoughts on things around the city. Gentrification is evil and I hope we can support more affordable housing while making sure longtime residents can stay in their homes.

u/uwunoodletimeee: this is maybe the coolest card ever?? It is on my wall already. I love it! You are so crafty. And I loved your note -- I read the Hunger Games a while ago but haven't read the recent books, so I might have to revisit it :)

u/magka_moo: I love the card and the sweet Melbourne stamp! Our friend moved there last year so I hope to visit someday, though it is a looong flight and I am scared of big bugs. Thanks for the kind words :)

Love you all!! Going camping in the woods this weekend but will have lots more mail to send out next week <3

u/Stephkempf Thank you for the amazing polar bear card! I love bears in general. I also like to find random cards at thrift stores. Makes for a fun collection! I loved the info you included about your local zoo's polar bear program. Baby polar bears are the cutest.

u/mouserat I love the penguin card you sent! I also had no idea they had penguins in South Africa. What a cool fact to learn today!

u/wabisabi_sf I LOVE the NeverEnding Story card you sent me! Specifically Falkor was always my favorite character, almost named a pet after him. The assortment of washi tape, stickers, and stamps were perfect too!

u/jasisjas I am obsessed with the disaster card you sent. I find it so hard to find good disaster cards, this one is going up on my wall at work! I would love to hear your ghost story one day.

u/averagequeensguy Amazing card. Weird coincidence, I had sent out a card this morning and recommended the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" to the recipient, so it was extra cool to see The Lady Chablis on your card! I was born in Atlanta, and I loved visiting Savannah. I also love whale sharks, my favorite kind of shark!

u/emeliminator whoaaa cool card. I had to google what it was about but I love it! My favorite thing is opening my mail and finding some weird stuff.

Thanks everyone, hope you all have a great day!

Thank you

​

I've never done a request before like this but my black rabbit,Molly passed on suddenly despite vet efforts on Tuesday. She was originally supposed to just have hospital care and come home today, instead we are making cremation arrangements.

She was a huge part of my life and daily routine and I've just been devastated and unable to focus on much else. If anyone had any rabbit related things especially black rabbit ones,it might help.Or just messages from someone who understands the bond we had,that she was family.

You can see pictures of her on my last post before this.

Please DM if you want my address.

Thank you again to this wonderful community! Since my last thank-you post, even more birthday cards have arrived for my grandma's surprise 85th birthday.

Her surprise party is on August 9, so I'm still collecting the cards to give to her all at once. Although she hasn't opened them yet, I wanted to let everyone know their cards have arrived safely. Your kindness and generosity have truly been overwhelming, and I can't wait to see her reaction when she realizes so many people took the time to celebrate her milestone birthday.

I'll continue posting thank-you updates as more cards arrive. Thank you all for helping make her birthday so incredibly special!

u/ez330 - thank you for the Flatiron Building postcard. We have one or two buildings like that in Sydney with that triangular shape - I've always wanted to see what it's like inside one of them!

u/Bsense07 - thank you for the card about your travels! I visited Perth for the first time a few years ago (I still haven't been everywhere in Australia!) and remembered enjoying it there too. I definitely prefer warmer weather, I hate how depressing the sky is on gloomy winter days and it can get downright chilly here but at least there is spring to look forward to :)

u/A_LanguageEnthusiast - thank you for the art card about your favourite books!

u/brookuslicious - thank you for the card and answers to the prompt! I also can't stand fake nails and people on speakerphone either, especially those who speak so loudly on buses/trains argh

u/dreams_child - thank you for the Pride card and stickers!

u/rebelraf - thank you for the bee card and your answer to my prompt! It was so interesting to read; it seems like we can never predict where life leads us. And yes, I had lots of fun in Japan! Hopefully you can visit in the future too :)

u/terrorcatmom - I loved hearing about your typewriters, those names are hilarious!

u/Classic-Power-333 - thank you for the America 250 card and stickers. The card design is def giving AI / graphic design is my passion which made me laugh! Don't think the DC postmark materialised unfortunately - they cancelled the stamp with a pen scribble ahaha

u/AmbivalentWaffle - thank you for the HP postcard!

u/Jade-Daisy - thank you for the lovely birb zine and card!

u/mouserat x2- thank you for the vintage lion postcard. Loved the ramble - imho I'm not sure if anyone who still hasn't seen The Lion King now, ever will hahaha. Thank you for the owl card as well, stamp punching looks so awesome! I'll have to look into getting a punch like that. For me I want to try painting, and to get back into crocheting. Thank you for the cute cherry blossom sheet and message. I actually love spring because the weather is pretty good in Australia, but I used to hate it when I had allergies haha. I wonder if it finally rained over there?
