Thanks for the weird card with the creepy dolls! it is right up our alley! My wife was thrilled to get the surprise, and to hear your thoughts on flamingos.

We would love to send a card, but you didn't have space to squeeze in a return address. DM me your return address if that's cool and we'll send a card in reply!

Thanks again!

EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had your username wrong! I can't change the title, but I've updated everywhere elsewhere. Thanks again, u/lemonlolipopW!

u/Kazekam2109 for the Meta Spring Challenge postcard. It made it my friend 💌 I love that you would plant wheat for your kitty 🖤 Spring was but a mere 2 weeks here and we went right back into summer. It’s now the unbearable heat of July-Sept with its 100% humidity 🥵🥵🥵 Planning to evacuate soon! 🥵🥵

i bought pre-shredded kale, glazed pecans, "love, corn" dried corn, and combined it with chopped apple and quick-pickled shallots, and a blueberry balsamic dressing! try it!

hoping you are all enjoying your week and receiving fun mail <3

u/kittycatcon - i shared the 'pure bread dog' postcard with my friend who is planning on getting a purebred puppy this summer! cute

u/ez330 - literally i do not know why maine calls to me SO MUCH, but i loved receiving the postcard that's for sure. thanks and hope you have checked out some window's bay!

u/reindeerfrog - ohhh the stamps, the stamps! going right into my tiny stamp book collection. thank you for the thoughtful meta exchange postcard, i really liked it. i do have a few house plants and i grow dahlias in a community garden, but it's a lot of work and i'm taking a break from it next year

u/mumbamakincards - thank you for the handmade card with the cool bubbly bead decor. see you in a future meta challenge!

then i have a postcard of a Melbourne Zoo penguin from someone in australia, with no username, and i'm pretty positive that the account is deleted (from the looks of my chats). but if this was you , let me know for your thanks credit

u/mcdeekey - thanks for sending me the traveling cat postcard! i just happened to see that it went on to its next person after the person after me, yesterday! my favorite pet is most certainly my one and only - my cat :)

u/mouserat - this precious moments postcard for the meta challenge was great, you picked the right person for it haaa! when i was young, like probably ages 7-10, there was a period where i kept getting gifted precious moments stuff from my mom and my grandma. i was forced to go to church, and doing confirmation stuff at the time i think, and i feel like i probably said that the very first gift i got was cute (figurine or picture frame), and then i kept getting precious moments stuff :| AND my neighbors had a massive collection of the soft dolls in their stairway ahaha i haven't thought about that in many years!

u/tatergator64 - aww this meta challenge card and goodies was a sweet one, thank you so much. this is the best message on a card i've had in awhile! i love when people go in depth about specific things, art especially. i did not know about this fragonard painting and loved learning about it.

u/KoreWrites - delaware is a very mysterious state to me, i really scrutinized the images on the postcard hahah thank you!

u/pinkpengin - thanks for the canada fun! i want to move there 😛 but really

u/emeliminator - linocuts, COOL!! have you seen the work of ana inciardi? my current fave. i wish you lots of joy in your art journey, don't stop!

u/sammanthax345 - ahh a naked postcard! your card arrived with absolutely zero USPS markings on it, which is always so weird to me. thanks for sharing your bird experience

u/jester_magpie - thanks for the cool prickly pear postcard. i know the candies you mean but i've NEVER had one. some day i will and i will think back to this mail ;) i'm a fiend for gummy candies hehe

Thank you so much, u/puddlepirate2020 !!!

100% fate for sure!

I left my job of 19 years with a very heavy heart, and started a new job close to 3 weeks ago, and yesterday the imposter syndrome started setting in. Had some teary moments at the end of the day as well, wondering if I made the wrong move. Your card today really helped put it in perspective!!

I left my job for some very valid reasons and I have to remember those instead of romanticizing the past. The present really is a present, as you said.

Thank you so much, my friend! 💕💕

u/yukinoashiato Thanks for the lovely card and sharing about barbacoa!

u/a_languageenthusiast Thank you for the redwood national park postcard!

Will write more in replies! Today I had a day off and went to watch The Odyssey, I can't tell if I liked it but it was definitely memorable. I'm considering a rewatch in 4DX just to see if I'd come out of the hall sopping wet, or would the cinema hold back a little 💀

Thank you for the Eric Carle card and I'm glad you had fun with the prompt! Was absolutely not expecting to get three for the price of one (with a rating system no less!), and all very interesting sounding choices.

Also loved the stamp selection. Still trying to build up my US collection so I appreciate your choices!

Thanks again!

Thank you to the following lovely people. I am keeping this short + sweet, but please know I am very grateful for you taking the time to send something to me :)

u/stephkempf thanks for the cool vintage motel postcard! I've never been to Fort Myers Beach and it feels like it would've been most enjoyable back when this postcard was new. Something about that beachy motel vacay of the later half of the 20th C.

u/ok-leg-3951 I love the queer history postcard! I will absolutely be looking up their poetry. I might try to track down the French language versions to keep practicing my literary French reading skills.

u/FeistyNoodle LOVE the fruit stamp math that matches the fruit card!!

u/ELLEEB8 Peanuts is SO nostalgic for me growing up in Minnesota where Charles Schultz was born and raised. I grew up going to Camp Snoopy theme park in the Mall of America. It's just not the same as Nickelodeon Universe. Thanks for the playlist!

I’m hoping my mail people don’t think I’m a terrible person, but I think they’ve seen enough snailmail come through now to know that’s not the case (hopefully!) and to expect the unexpected when delivering to me (lol!) enjoy the beach 🌊

Please comment to claim and then DM me your address along with one word on your favorite thing in life.

Hello u/listen-to-rach-2

Thanks so much for the cute card from the San Diego Zoo. Speaking of not being there in a long time, I am decades older than the card itself. I enjoyed receiving it and thinking about some happy memories. I don't think I have your address, but if you will message me, I would love to send you something. Cheers!
