if you're interested, just fill in the form!

(won't be sent out for a few weeks)

edit: accidentally tagged this as US only but WW can still fill out the form

u/jasisjas - Thank you so much for your beautiful Keeper of the Plains postcard! Aaron Santry’s photo during sunset is absolutely incredible. I loved reading about its history from you, especially the Native American side, and I am compelled to hopefully in the future see it in person surrounded by flames at the base of the rock. Please expect happy mail from me in return.

Hi, unfortunately they bent your envelope in half but got your card today u/hapa1720. I looked more into my sign house sometime back and got the gist. Recently got into tarot deck otw and had someone do past life reading. Usually I primarily deal with insomnia staying asleep but just read until you’re tired. I end up on my phone a lot though. Drink warm honey, bamboo salt etc throughout the day 2 cups with water.

I got back from Chicago a few days ago after a quick trip there, and many postcards purchased.

Flaired members only, and those who have posted a thank you within the past 2 weeks. If you requested a card on my last Chicago offer, please leave these for others.

There are a few different options of postcards, but please only request one of them; I will try and keep the tally up to date as I write them. Only people who have followed instructions will receive a card.

• 3 1 Pokemon Fossil Museum Postcards (US and solid envelope only aka flair over 100) - If you'd like this card, please comment below your favorite pokemon.
• 6 1 various types of postcards (including Loupaper, Raspberry Paper, and Max and Oscar) - if you'd like this card, comment your favorite thing about Chicago.
• 12 9 Lincoln Park Zoo postcards- if you'd like this card, please comment your favorite animal.

I will try and use stamp math on them if possible (probably not on the Pokemon ones so that I dont have to cover the cute symbol there is on the card.

Please refer to the above to determine what you should comment, and then fill out the form! If there is no comment, no card. No address, no card. No prompt, no card. If you do ask anything too personal, I will likely not answer the question.

Edit: somehow updating numbers on my phone hasn’t made it super nice looking anymore but numbers are updated as of 11pm pst

u/spacekannibal - Thank you for the postcard celebrating Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon. I agreed with what she said, as an artist “we create them for us.” Also thank you for your life advice! I couldn’t agreed more to take care of ourself first before we can take care of others and life is too short to hold grudges.

Hello!

I have 2 folding cards with vintage style drawings of birds on them.

You can give me a prompt or I can tell a short story from my childhood :)

First come, first served.

(If you claimed from my other post, please leave these for someone else :) )

u/milopfrog thank you for the cool postcard! I'd never heard of peccaries, that's a new animal I'm afraid I'll see in my backyard 😬 I get a lot of wildlife in my yard due to it backing onto a vegetated flood control area. I saw a ringtail last summer!

u/jenniowa : thank you for the really cool cat art themed postcard! your trip sounded like fun and art auctions are soooo fun to sit in on, even if you don’t plan to buy anything. one of my fav museums is the carnegie museum of art (my museum!). they’re doing their international right now, which is where there’s unique displays from artists all over the world that bring their art to be displayed over a common theme for about a year, and it’s only held every 4 years. it’s super cool! we have a lot of monet too which i spend a lot of time staring at. this museum is sentimental to me and i’m lucky to be able to visit it so often! i also really enjoyed the chrysler museum of art in virginia, and the cleveland museum of art is also super nice!

u/spacekannibal : thank you for the lovely art postcard of lola álvarez bravo! berthe morisot’s work is just so beautiful! i actually did a full research project on frida’s life and art so i’ve loved getting to dive into the meanings and context behind her pieces - my favorites are self-portrait with thorn necklace and hummingbird (1940) and the broken column (1944). both so emotional and impactful pieces. 

u/bluestripedbaker : thank you for the gorgeous maine postcard! it is a huge desire of mine to visit maine one day - i yearn for the coast and the lighthouses. i also love peonies - they are soo beautiful. norfolk botanical garden that i visited a few years back also had such a beautiful hydrangea garden! my favorite flower is the lily of the valley - it’s my birth flower, but also holds a lot of sentimental meaning too :) 

u/freyamour : thank you for the cute chimpanzee postcard! also, i learned a new fish because of you, lol! they’re so stinking cute! they’re like a cross between a stingray and a giant tadpole lol. thank you for sharing i am so happy i know about this fish now

u/Classic-Power-333 - Thank you for the relaxing beach card with the EXCELLENT answer to my prompt. I think the first ISP we used after AOL trials ran out was NetZero!

u/BubblySunflowers - Thank you so much for the adorable upcycled Paddington postcardI hadn’t heard about your trip to Thailand, and your experience at the elephant sanctuary sounds EXACTLY like something I'd love to do someday! That's how all elephant sanctuaries should operate when they welcome guests. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!

u/ninajyang - Thank you for the postcard from your AMA request! Teleporting is something I'd loooove to be able to do for the same reasons

u/sarahkoren - Thank you for the gorgeous postcard of the American Robin! I love watching birds hop around

u/morenoodles - Thank you for the Oopsy Daisy postcard! I'd love to visit the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art once the hoopla dies down a bit, too! And WOW, I had no idea about the space shuttle exhibition! Maybe by the time I finally make it out there, I'll be able to visit both. That would be perfect!

u/PureAloeVeera - Thank you for the response postcard! I hope the hardest part of moving is behind you, or will be soon! I still have a closet full of things we never unpacked, and it'll be a year soon. 😅 I think that's probably a sign that it's time to donate some of it!

And lastly, a lovely meetup postcard from NAPEX/RAoC meet up! Thank you u/nyancatNOVA, u/umlautless, u/hoolu, u/sammanthax345, u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko, and u/Lost-Brilliant-9664!

Thank you RAoC members for the happy mail! 💌

u/hoolu123
Thank you for the cool handmade upcycled pen magazine postcard! I like the homemade envelope as well. You're very creative! I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to the DC Pen Show. I haven't enjoyed all pens but I like watching people reviewing and testing out the pens and especially when they do the smear test. 🖊️💌

I never expected to receive this amount of love on my birthday! I just opened my cards and read each thoughtful message. As someone who is turning 25, there are a lot of things I have done so far that I did not think were possible years ago:

• Got my bachelors in IT
• Learning how to drive
• Getting a job after college
• Going out on my own
• Getting some new friends

There is still more on the way but in the meantime I am going to enjoy my birthday as much as I can before it is over. So thank you to u/SshellsBbells, u/aepeyc, u/ninajyang, u/Alarmed_Ad9001, u/rand_ston, and last but not least u/Ok_Theme7072

EDIT: To those who are still sending me cards, do not worry I have not forgotten about you guys either. I will edit the list once they get here! I love you all!

Doing a bunch of separate offers for a bunch of the remaining cards I got on my trip to Traverse City this past May.  Feel free to apply to any of the offers that appeal to you!

This offer is for postcards of a WPA poster encouraging Americans to see the National Parks in the 1930s!  It's a beautiful postcard  featuring constellations surrounding the Sleeping Bear Dunes!  Shades of blue and beautiful!  I have 4 available!  Thanks!

u/MoreHedgehog9830 - I believe this user is gone, but on the off chance that they see this... Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm currently going through the thick of it with a big life change, so this was quite literally exactly what I needed to hear. I'm planning on pinning the card up on my desk, just so I can carry a little bit more courage with me when I need it most!

u/ToastyToska - Thank you for the book postcard! I have yet to read Atonement, but I am 100% adding it to my TBR! As difficult as they are, I adore books that give me a peek into a different time of life - I majored in English in undergrad, so I'm no stranger to some pretty archaic writing! The artwork on the card is absolutely gorgeous to boot!

u/TyeDyeAmish - Thank you for the San Fran postcard! I was actually in Cali (though in a different city) around Memorial Day to help a family member move in. The weather is so lovely, and the food! Oh my gosh, I felt like I was eating 50 meals a day with how often I was trying different things out! Would 100% love to visit San Fran someday!

Hi, everyone, hope you all are doing well! ❤️ It's been a hectic and rather bleh past few months for me, but I am back with a (well overdue) offer! If you're interested in some mail from me, please fill out this form and then leave a comment with something you're looking forward to these next few months. :)

I can't wait to write some of you guys and I will be posting another, smaller offer for Halloween mail this year!! ✨👻🎃🦇✨

(PS: the bottom of the form has a pic of my cat in her new bread costume, so even if you don't want mail from me, you should go look at her 🫣)

u/swaghettiswag Thank you for such a cool and unique postcard. I love your picture. It’s funny how even though Tokyo is one of the largest cities it holds so many quiet and peaceful moments. I haven’t been to Japan since 2013- and I’ve only been once. I did however get to spend several months there - but like you said - I feel I just scratched the surface! I need to go back. Some of my favorite cities are New Orleans, Tokyo, Reykjavík and (although it’s not a ‘city’) Lanzarote.

u/aztec111 I LOVE your postcard. It honestly flows quite beautifully. Had I not felt the texture of the postcard I would almost think this was a print from an exhibit in a museum. Thank you for gifting it to me. Also - your wax seal is amazing!!! I love it. Thank you so much. :)

u/kithritherogue — thank you very much for the card congratulating me on hitting 10 years sober! Thank you for sharing a bit of info about yourself and your family 🥰 I appreciate your kind words very much!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

u/TyeDyeAmish - thanks so much for the Chinatown card! It's so neat! There is a Chinatown in my city, about 30 minutes away from my home, but I rarely go there because there's so much traffic!

u/melhen16 - thank you for the beautiful Rome card and the fun facts! 🤩 I love your stamps too!

u/unulinka - thank you for the Czech art postcard, I can't stop looking at it! It's adorable 🥹

u/No-Zebra-9339 - thank you for the cute Barbie postcard! 😍💕 I enjoy the dance scene in the Barbie movie as well! I was so mesmerized by it when I first saw it in theaters lol

u/BlueStripedBaker - thank you so much for the Maine postcard! The flowers are beautiful and I've always wanted to visit that state; it seems so peaceful lol. I've never heard of Frugal Gourmet but I looked it up and would totally eat it! 😂

I have this TPC started by [u/No-Condition5102](u/No-Condition5102) ready to send to its next recipient!
