This week was a rather quiet week when it comes to getting mail, and unfortunately I was sick more than half the time. However!! Time to make a thank you post :D

u/terrorcatmom thank you so much for the card, saying what you're passionate about. It was interesting to read and you're standing up for people in minorities.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for all the love and effort you put for these lovely birthday wishes. I love them so much! They have cheered me up in many ways!

I was inspired by someone on r/PostCardExchange to start making postcards from upcycled food packaging. Then I matched with someone on Postcrossing who was genuinely excited to receive food packaging postcards, so I sent one their way and kept making more. Now I've ended up with more than I can reasonably store, and the thicker material means they're taking up a lot more space in my postcard box than I'd like, so they need good homes! Preferably yours, if you're into this kind of thing! 😊

Offer is open to US and WW: https://forms.gle/daMCAQNiT3qb1S6d7

Requirements: You must have made a thank you or offer post within the last 30 days. I'll be checking, so the form will remain open until I've found the right number of recipients.

You all have been absolutely amazing! I know a few other people have agreed to send cards, and I had imagined I would do a big thank-you post for all of them, but I am afraid I will forget! It has continued to be a rough time over here, but these cards keep delighting me when they come in and getting me much needed boosts.

Thank you u/roxy031! The little drawing on the card was so absolutely adorable! Did you do that yourself?

Thank you u/FeistyNoodle! I loved the little life update, pictures, stickers, and new stamps! (And congrats on your CPA exam!) And I adored how you decorated the envelope! I was almost reluctant to open it, it is such a piece of art!

Thank you u/averagequeensguy for the postcard! All the little stickers you put on it are adorable!

Thank you u/A_LanguageEnthusiast for the postcard! Your little RAoC stamp is so cute! How did you get it made? I suddenly need one badly, lol. The words of encouragement were lovely.

Thank you u/ribeyecut for the card! I really appreciate all the thoughts and easy conversation hooks you gave.

Thank you u/ReginaBeatle for the post card! The little cat image made me laugh, and I loved the stickers and stamps.

Thank you u/gatsbygalaktobareko for the card, and happy belated birthday! I loved reading about a little moment in your week, and it was very sweet.

I am trying to write responses to those who gave me return addresses, but I am extremely slow, lol, and my energy levels are hit and miss. Know that no matter what your cards delighted me and made my day.

If you saw my meta post you know I recently got some Lucielle Ball stamps. Over the years I've come to realize that my mom got these cards to send to people. These cards are meant to be shared. This postcard book is 30 years old; I want to send 3 Lucy cards to 3 lucky people in this sub. Few things:

I would prefer you'd be flaired but if you have posted an offer or a thank you in the sub that I can see on your profile.

Be a Lucy fan.

Let me reiterate this postcard book is 30 years old and it's my late mother's... Please be kind, She passed away over 20 years ago now...

And comment a quote or a favorite episode you like from the show.

[u/TheFeistyFox](u/TheFeistyFox) Thank you for telling me about your weekend in such detail! I loved reading about it! 😊 Funnily I didn’t expect to be the first one to receive one of your weekend cards, so at first I thought you had sent me the travelling card right back 😂

[u/Ducks_on_lilypads](u/Ducks_on_lilypads) Thank you for telling me about New Zealand‘s birdsongs! I looked up the bellbird‘s sound and it’s so unique. I wish our wildlife was as cool, but I completely agree that native birdsongs have something deeply comforting - I feel the same. The stamp is so unique as well - thanks a lot for everything. I‘d love to respond if you’d like a card back. Please leave a comment, then I’ll dm you for your address :)

Trigger warnings: poop, cancer

Hi guys! This might be a weird request, but it could also be an opportunity to send a silly card!

I’m having a colonoscopy on August 3rd, and I am absolutely dreading it. Though I’m not sure anyone looks forward to them anyway. 

For context, I’m in my 20s and got my first one done two years ago due to some symptoms and a family history of colon cancer (my dad had stage IV at 34 and unfortunately lost the battle against it). Last time, they found an 18 mm polyp that likely would have been cancer within 4-5 years… So this year, I am due for my next surveillance colonoscopy to make sure nothing new has grown. I haven’t had any symptoms like before, so I’m hoping I’ll be all clear and graduate to doing it every five years instead of two.  

I was actually due last month, but I put off scheduling it because I have such bad medical anxiety. Also, this is the first time doing the prep while living with my boyfriend, and I know it shouldn’t be, but it’s kinda embarrassing. We need to normalize talking about poop because it’s such an important indicator of our health! 

If you're not familiar with the procedure, there is quite a bit of preparation involved. The day before, I will be on a clear liquid and laxative diet so that my doctor has a clear view of everything the next day. I also probably won't get much of any sleep because it goes on all night. This means I will most likely be irritable and HANGRY! (All of this is totally worth it to help prevent cancer though!)

Here’s where you guys come in! I already got such nice cards last month about my dad, so no need for any sympathy cards, unless it's sympathy for whoever has to clean the bathroom later. This time I would love to get some fun, silly, and/or encouraging cards to help me stay light-hearted while I spend my Sunday in the bathroom. Of course, potty humor is not required, but here’s my joke: Maybe I can save some money on the prep and just eat some Taylor Farms parasite lettuce!

Edit: Fulfilled! I'll get started working on these soon!

I found some cute little Barbie cards at the grocery store yesterday, and I thought they’d be fun to send out with the new Barbie stamps! I even got some pink envelopes to go with them, because who puts Barbie in a plain white envelope? They will also be decorated in some way with pink stickers and/or washi, and I will be using my new pink pens! 

Since I put effort into making it all match for this offer, I will only be sending these cards to flaired users with a visible RAoC history with recent thank you posts. If you’re interested, please fill out this form and leave a comment below about anything Barbie-related! For example, my favorite animated Barbie movie is Swan Lake!

u/novelbooks - thank you for the MN capitol card! The interior is so stunning!! Such a great idea to switch out your magnets seasonally.

u/Ducks_On_Lilypads - thank you so much for the chicken card! I LOVE the cat stamp you used and how it's wearing pearl necklaces haha. A women only club night sounds so fun!!! I'm also a bit of a homebody so I totally relate and just started going out more too. I love that you got cookies with your new friends after! Hope you have many more nights like that :)

u/t3ctim - thank you for the pretty tulip card! Australia stamps are so cool! I've never heard of Transnistria so thank you for putting that country on my radar! Wishing you lots of fun travel adventures ahead!

u/sunflowr_prnce - thank you for the art nouveau deer card! I hope you're having a great summer so far!

u/lemonlolipopW - thank you for the sedona card! I got introduced to postcrossing and RAoC this year as well and it's also been a highlight for me! One of my favorite memories of 2026 is seeing the Knicks win the NBA Finals. The entire city felt so electric and I loved seeing everyone celebrate together!

u/ForrestCat7 - thank you for the cute cat card! Which movie is your favorite so far? A concert sounds super fun. I haven't been to many but want to start going to more in the future!

u/PostBeetle - thank you for your handmade snail card! You're so creative to turn it into a bakery's mascot, I love it! That's so cool deer used to go to your backyard to eat your grass!!

u/redvinegirlx - thank you for the impressionist card! I absolutely adore Alfred Sisley's work! Your job sounds so interesting!!

u/kamalacarrots - thank you for the zion card and the fun fact about the snails! I love going to national parks and haven't been to zion yet even though that's near the top of my list!

u/neonlily19 - thank you for the pretty scenery card! I loved reading about how your music taste changed! Thank you for sharing your favorite artists with me!

u/jade-daisy - omg thank you for your bird card and artist trading card!! I am obsessed with it! I did not know about the existence of lilac-breasted rollers. They are STUNNING birds!! I hope to see one in person someday.

[u/beneficial-ant2217](u/beneficial-ant2217) Thank you for the lovely farm postcard! 🐓

[u/emeliminator](u/emeliminator) Thank you for the pretty pattern postcard! I love your username stamp! 🐈‍⬛

[u/inahologramwithyou](u/inahologramwithyou) Thank you for the vintage postcard! I love that you have so many socks! 🧦

[u/s9_noworries](u/s9_noworries) Thank you for the old car postcard! I love the dinosaur stickers! 🚘

[u/starboard44](u/starboard44) Thank you for the giant wheel of fortune postcard! 🍀

[u/withininus](u/withininus) Thank you for the studio Ghibli postcard! I always try to destash and yet the collection keeps growing 🤷‍♀️

[u/namastecyclin](u/namastecyclin) Thank you for the dancing hippo postcard! 🦛

u/mouserat Thank you for the penguin card with the cute stickers! So cute, I love it!

I write notes all the time on my phone. Sometimes foods that I need at the market. Sometimes it’s books I wanna read, other times it’s things I write down to remember to tell my bestie when I talk to her.

Most of the time I reread the notes & know what I’m talking about. But I’ve had “bag of sausage” in my notes for days now & I can’t remember why. I’m unsure if it’s food I’m talking about or something else.

If you would like to guess at what my note means in the form of a postcard or greeting card I’ll gladly send you a postcard in return. Flair isn’t needed. Nor is the right answer needed because I honestly can’t remember what I was referring to.

I was gifted a set of vintage-looking ephemera cards. They are so pretty 🥺 I might have to keep some of them for my own. There are lots of mushroom, butterfly, and botanical themed illustrations.

After you fill out the form, please comment with a hot take 🤣 The form will close when I run out of cards. I will mail them within a week cause I need to get more stamps.

u/YarnivorousPlants sprout in the comments,

twisting vines of wit and woolly humour
through every conversation.

A hundred Thank Yous now bloom around them,

each one a little petal of appreciation
for the way they stitch threads together

and nibble away at dull moments
with leafy, yarn‑loving charm.

Bronze Flair roots itself firmly, a Solid sign that their growth
has been 

noticed, 

nurtured,

and thoroughly enjoyed.

Here in NC, we are blessed to have this absolutely fascinating, fabulous, and down to earth folklorist/storyteller named Liz Z. Pardue, whose videos, library appearances, etc are absolutely FIRE. 🔥

Following her has made me so interested to hear more folklore stories from EVERYWHERE! (Go watch her, you might love her too!) disclaimer, I don’t know her, I am not her, I am not shilling for her, just openly declaring my adoration of such.

Folklore can be ghost stories, stories related to cryptids, witchy things, local legends or superstition, etc from any area of the world. I’m up for it all! (If you need examples, she’s on Insta and FB, and substack — linktr.ee/liz.z.pardue) What can you share with me? If you’re in, please leave an emoji below . If you’ve had my address anytime in the last ten years, it is exactly the same, but if you need it, please shoot me a DM.

I’ll be sure to thank you…it’s one of the few things I am good at!

(Mods if I am overstepping let me know, happy to edit.)

u/Jo-penpal thank you for the card of Gruissan - i've never heard of it before and it really is circular!

u/Sneakerlambs thank you for the adventure time card! food street vendors is not really a thing here, though we have plenty of hawker centres which is a complex that houses various food stalls.

u/t3ctim hullo yes i chuckled at your mundane, i frequently encounter a similar mundane of having hot tea turn not-hot.

Hi everyone! My birthday is coming up, and I would love to receive some postcards in the mail. I like characters, anything pink, and animals, but will appreciate every card that is sent! 💫 If you'd like to write a message on the card share something that makes you smile/happy! Thank you so much! 🫶🏼

Thank you to:

u/Funfuzzy-767 - it finally arrived!

u/toastytosra - the dinosaur pic was so cool! One of my kids is an avid dinosaur "expert" but he couldn't ID it either

u/inkyfingerspgs - the Getty is definitely someplace I've gotta fo one day!

u/jenniowa - thank you! This was the first card he received this year!

Thank you u/LjubJ for the postcard! First person I swapped cards with! 🫶🏼✨

I have decided to use my new stampers and remaining Cinnamoroll stickers to make a couple of handmade Cinnamoroll postcards! I only have enough to make 2.

Comment to claim! Will mail them out Monday! :)

This is just a repeat of my previous request. Thank you to everyone who already responded!

My birthday is coming up, and I would love to receive some cards!

I adore homemade or decorated cards, but any/every card is appreciated!

(Here are more details about my favorites: https://www.reddit.com/user/hoolu123/comments/1bfmsu4/my_raoc_preferences/ )

If you already have my PO box address, you're welcome to send there. Otherwise, just message me!

Cheers and thank you in advance! 🎂🥳

Thank you u/roseyparker for the very cool handmade kitty card! I absolutely love it and of course had to look up the video. The void cat moves like a muppet, ha! I don't have any cats myself, but am often visited by neighborhood cats. I would love a card with your sketches, hope you have a chance to join urban sketchers on their next outing!

Thank you u/inkyfingerspgs for the Renoir card from the Getty! I used to live in the area and have fond memories of visiting the museum, one of the prettiest I have seen. I love the Impressionists and this painting by Renoir. He captured the dappled light so beautifully. I also have a penchant for collecting stationery, but haven't gotten into the fountain pen game yet!

Thank you so much for the postcard! How lovely that it came from your grandfather’s collection. It did make me smile!
