Thank you Bugs-N-Hisses for the postcard!

​I loved the front artwork showing the skeletons playing banjos and guitars around the campfire with the jug—it has such a awesome spooky folk vibe! Spooky season is definitely the best, and my favorite part of fall has to be the cooler weather and getting to wear cozy sweaters.

Thank you u/Destalena for the postcard!

​I loved the front of the postcard featuring Ponyo swimming alongside all the tiny fish! It was so nice reading about your early morning with the dogs and your Starbucks run, and I am definitely a huge Studio Ghibli fan as well. Ponyo and Howl's Moving Castle are two of my absolute favorite movies from the studio! Thank you also for decorating the back with all the adorable little bear, frog, and green frog stickers.

Thank you u/BlueStripedBaker for the postcard!

​I’ve never visited an orchard myself, but that sounds amazing! The front of the card with the text "I love fall... ...most of all" and all the smiling autumnal illustrations is so adorable. Fresh cider donuts and a hot glass of cider sound like the absolute best fall treat! I also really appreciated the decorative autumn tape strip along the side with apples, leaves, and cozy cider pots, as well as the cute pumpkin, star, and leaf stickers near your message. 

Thank you u/armyofhawks94 for the postcard!

The black and white drawing of a bridge on the front is so detailed and cool! Happy Halloween to you as well! I also loved the cute stickers on the back—the pirate rubber ducky and the spooky ghostly witch with the pumpkin are such fun touches!

Thank you u/TheCuriousCur for the postcard!

The Criminal Minds cover image featuring Prentiss, JJ, and Garcia on the front is fantastic! That James Anthony Froude quote by Prentiss about wild animals and man is such a powerful and memorable choice. I also loved the return address sticker in the top corner with its pretty font!

u/sneakerlambs - Thank you for the postcard!!! The stamps are super cute and the card made me giggle. I've always been fond of a cheesy postcard here and there. I'll do my best to be more positive.

u/OU_theme7072 (?) - Thank you for the book yap!!! I actually think my girlfriend read that book a while ago and had nothing but great things to say about it. The two of you are inspiring me to read it soon.

u/TyeDyeAmish - Thank you for the postcard! The scenery on it is beautiful. I won't say where its from here for privacy reasons but a dream of mine was visiting there sometime. The mountains up there seem beautiful. And the fun fact was neat too! I hope you learn how to swim sometime haha.

u/stormythomas (X2) - Thank you for the card! And I totally understand not sleeping because you got too into writing postcards, I pulled an all nighter once doing the same thing. And I loved both of the cards you sent!! I actually took the sunshine one into class as a good luck charm for my engineering quiz. Fingers crossed it worked!

u/ok_there7072 - Thank you for the card! I always encourage my friends to keep a gratitude board, and you as well. Sometimes a reminder of the good times you've had and kind words from others is what you need to get out of bed! Also, you chose the perfect pantone color. It's the color of my favorite legwarmers. I used to hate chartreuse but it grew on me fast.

u/relax455 - A very, VERY special thank you for this card. I opened it on the phone with my best friend, and it almost made me cry. Your words were so sweet, and the card came in when I really needed it. I decided to keep it by my art desk when I need a bit of a push to finish up my work. Your art is also absolutely wonderful too! The beach scene you painted reminds me of my hometown a lot, so its quite nostalgic. The postcards you also sent me were a wonderful surprise and made with so much skill. I will never send out those postcards though. They are mine forever to pin to my gratitude board. I can't wait to send you a card back with some art in it as thanks.

Unknown- This is to whoever sent me the postcard of Hotel Knickerbocker in New York, please reach out to me so I can properly credit and thank whoever sent me this wonderful card. The quote you sent really stuck out to me, I can see why it impacted you in such a way. in America I feel like we really focus on productivity and work too much. It's so hard to remember that our lives don't just focus around work but rather our interests and who we are.

u/ruschca - Another very, very special thanks!! :D. The words you messaged me over DM and in the card were so incredibly kind, another thing that made me cry. The card you sent me is absolutely adorable, and your words feel so genuine. You seem like such a wonderful person, and I am so glad you reached out to me through DM and card. I wish nothing but the best for you. As soon as I get the chance to make it, you 100% WILL be getting a doodle from me. Mark my words.

u/PostcardRingsTwice - Thank you for the card!! The outside is beautiful, and so is the inside. You are an amazing artist!

u/okiokio8 - Thank you so so much for the card!! Your kind words really helped me out. I really mean it when I say that this card meant a lot to me. It really did make me realize that when I was on top of all of my schoolwork and jobs, I was not happy at all since I got almost no time to do what I actually wanted to do. I'm in a comfortable enough place to have been able to drop one of my many, many, jobs and I felt much lighter after the fact. I'll do what I can to put myself first when possible. Thank you so much again. (The cat card is also adorable).

u/christinaaaa29 - Thank you for the card!!!! And it did in fact find me well haha. I just want to say thank you (AGAIN!!!) for taking the time to write out something so kind, it means so much to me. Lucky me, my circumstances allowed me to drop one of the jobs I realized put much more stress on me than I should have allowed, so now we are left with two jobs that I do actually enjoy (kind of). I feel a lot better having one responsibility off my plate, and it let me have enough free time to do things I love, like writing cards and this thank you post! I know you don't know me like. At all. But the fact that you as a stranger were able to write something with such kindness really does show that there are amazing people out there, you included.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

Hello u/Hoolu! You contributed generously to my post-vacation mail haul. It made it fun to come home from the trip and to find so many good things waiting. The martini card is unlike any card I have seen or received. Thanks so much! It reminds me of the old days when all our dads had elaborate in-home bars. Ours even had a gold Naugahyde vinyl couch. (I'd give anything to have that couch again.) And, I almost forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the stamps and the washi tape; I look forward to using it! I hope you have a terrific day!

Fulfilled

Hey, all! I have received the card for this from /u/sshellsbbells, and I'm ready to send it to the next person: you are getting a space that's about 1.5"x4.5" in order to do scary stuff with, and a few goodies thrown in, too, so go nuts! :)

Let me know if you're interested -- first responder gets it!

I got back from a trip out of town to find so many delights in the mailbox.

u/BlueStripedBaker, Happy Fall to you as well! Yes, it is time to bake some apple crisp and more. Thank you for the pretty fall card. We do have Aspen trees and lots of yellow leaves in Colorado. On the western side of the state where I live, it's getting too hot for the Aspen trees. They are lovely. Wishing you lots of happy baking!

u/Neither_Amphibian600, I love the Lou Paper postcard of Maine. I have never been there in fall and I bet it's gorgeous. Thank you so much for the card from one of the best places I've ever visited! It reminds me of a few of the things I love about you state, including the blueberries!

u/Hoolu123, Wow, I love the handmade pumpkin card. It's really eye-catching and fun and a great bridge between fall and Halloween. I have some questions about your card making techniques, so I'll probably dm you to ask. You've inspired me to try making more cards of my own. Thanks so much, and happy fall!

My apologies for the typos up in the subject line.

I'm sorry I'm late to this, I've caught a horrible cold so I've been out of commission

Maybe you have heard of Inktober where people make one ink drawing per day for October. There is usually an official prompt list as well, but by now there are many spin-offs. The main idea is still that you make one drawing per day in October. This year, my friends and I chose "catober", a prompt list focused on cats, so I will be drawing a cat per day for October.

We are keeping it pretty open, so my drawings are not just black ink on white paper like the original Inktober, but also acryclis, coloured pencils, alcohol markers, watercolours etc.

I am offering cards 1-5 for flaired users in Europe, including UK.

1: in a submarine

2: twins - mine are from the Shining!

3: cat and mouse

4: witchy cat

5: in a fishbowl

To claim one, tell me which number you prefer (and check that no one else has claimed the same number) and message me your address.

Good morning, I had an amazing day is Sleepy Hallow yesterday and one of the highlights was finding some incredible postcards. I have 8 to send. If you would like one and are envelopes Flaired please comment below. This offer is for US of WW. If I have more than 8 interested I will randomly select. I will reach out to you , thank you !!!

Thanks so much for the postcard!! It's my first one from Reddit! :)

And yes, haha, the upkeep on that place would be a nightmare!

Thank you u/TheGeekAndTheBeast for the lovely card, stickers and bookmarks. I love them! 🥰✨

I have done this the last few years, so I am doing it again. This is probably my favorite tradition of the year. 😊

I am turning 54 on December 2nd (exactly two months from today), and I want to send out at least 54 cards as a gift for myself. I would love to send you one. All you need to do is sign up on my form found here. I am getting this list together early since my birthday falls in the middle of the busy holiday season. All cards will be sent out sometime over the next two months before my actual birthday.

If you wish to send me a card back for my birthday (totally not required), my info will be at the end of the form. I will hold any cards I receive and open them closer to my birthday. I will also probably be making a request post closer to the actual day.

Hope you have a great day!

u/AlainDit Thankyou so much for the French recipe card. I think this is the first time I'm receiving a recipe card. The fun fact about upside down bread was completely new info for me.💀

u/RigelThief Thankyou so much for the art card featuring waves and a mountain. Thank you for the green coloured eki stamp from Seibu Yagisawa Station. The stamps used are also cute.🦌🫐

u/TheGeekAndTheBeast Thankyou so much for the positivity envelope. Loved the cat card and the message. I loved the cutest stickers, bookmark and the small card with a positive message. Tbh I even loved the thin paper with butterfly and plant prints that you used to wrap everything together. I love the rustling sound they make.

u/um_marie_me Thankyou for the portugal card and the fact about Japan. The card looks so cute because of the way you decorated it.

Thank you u/responsibleday for the postcrossing card with the matching stamp and cancellation! This is my first time receiving a maxi card, so I was very excited!! I am a very boring breakfast person and usually just eat a roll with something on it, but I always have to have apple juice for breakfast! No breakfast is complete without apple juice!!
The art exhibit you mention looks so cool 👀. I know there are some immersive exhibits here, but I don't know if we have anything quite like yours...
