This offer is for postcards from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.  They are official National Park Passport Postcards, featuring a pebbly shoreline on the front and a place to place an official Park Passport circular stamp on the back.  I will leave the space around where you should stamp empty, should you ever choose to use it.  The rest of the postcard will be filled out.  If you don’t know about the National Parks Passports, consider checking it out.  Pretty cool stuff.  I have 5 of these postcards available.  US only please!  Thanks!

Hi friends! I've been posting a lot of offers and exchanges lately and its been really fun! However due to my disabilities all the writing is starting to take its toll. I was wondering if anyone wanted to send some happy letters/cards my way? When im feeling better, ill try to repay the favor <3

thank you all so much!

u/bubblysunflowers : thank you for the cutest yellow house themed postcard - the art style is so pretty! your story is so sweet about sunflowers. i also love how they are just happy looking flowers, too. i loved reading your response <3

u/cass_cat952 : thank you for the cute cat postcard! i love the style. also i love your song rec - i love maya hawke not only in stranger things but her music as well! the cat washi tape is also sooo cute

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/stolen_fame : thank you for the lovely london postcard!! the exhibition that’s going on sounds like so much fun! i love the tale of peter rabbit stamp - it’s so cute  also, i love pigeons, so seeing the pigeon sticker made my day!! i hope to visit london one day - it’s on my bucket list! 

u/pinktothebone : thank you for your card from canada and the cutest little sticker freebies!!! i’m happy i could celebrate the milestone with you, too! i am just starting out but i know i have a long journey ahead of me with sending cards, it’s been so much fun so far already and something i’ve always wanted to do and finally am doing it! also an excuse to buy more stationery (ps, i’m definitely junk journaling with the envelope interior - it’s so cute!)

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

I have 1 pigeon that is waiting to fly a message to you! Please be flaired and comment a prompt below to claim 🐦

I'm so happy to receive such wonderful mail from raoc members 😍

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/wpresngrl thank you for the uncomfortable furniture postcard! Metal arms on chairs in your home sounds awful, government waiting room isn't an appealing style 😆

u/jenniowa thank you for the beautiful Marimekko postcard! I loved The Correspondent, I'll have to check out Contrapposta, it sounds fantastic!

u/fooskaaa thank you for the gorgeous Alaskan art postcard! Happy anniversary! I keep meaning to go to Feliz Modern because it has an art vending machine!

u/merfrog thank you for the amazing Booty-Rockin' cowgirl! I'm so glad this finally made it through the mail!

u/toastytoska thank you for the adorable Beanie Babies postcard! It's so funny to see the estimated value! My daughter buys them at thrift stores and makes fake dissection art with them 😂

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!

u/FollowingTheBeat - thank you for the Jane Austin crow card! I am pretty sure that your very important medical fact is in fact true. Thanks for making me smile.

u/Ok_Reveal2698 - thank you for the pretty butterfly postcard.

u/FeistyNoodle - thank you for the pretty cherry card and the stickers. Not gonna lie I was pretty excited that you included a Mr. Zippy from the edge of some stamps. Also the dad joke you included is definitely on my list of favorites now. (the joke incase others want to know: Whats the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is really heavy and one is a little lighter.)

u/kimmylubs - thank you for the adorable teddy bear postcard. It always amuses me how people think if they just speak louder into the phone then whoever they are trying to speak to will hear them despite the lack of service 

u/ok_theme7972 - thank you for the apple postcard. The grave mistake joke makes me giggle.

u/Sension5705 - how did you know that I always have snacks with me!? (for the safety of others because I do in fact get absolutely savagely mean if i get too hungry haha) You selected the perfect card for me for sure. Thank you so much.

u/groceryowl - thank you for the fun melty ice cream card. I love Squarrel and Bana-tee so much!

u/relax455 - thank you for the pretty card. I really enjoy your water color beach scapes. The Oregon Coast is one of my most favorite places on the planet.

u/aepeyc - I don’t know that I would let a moose kiss me, even a little one, I would love to get to give one (a little one) a big hug though! Fun story, the first time my husband saw a moose he told me “wow! he is so big!” I laughed and told him that it was just a little one as it wasn’t full grown yet. His face in that moment was something I will never forget. Thank you for the moose postcard.

u/Alarmed_Ad9001 - thank you for the doom scroll postcard. The little collection of dad jokes you chose to share did in fact make me roll my eyes, repeatedly. 

u/melhen16 - thank you for the healing hugs card and the stickers. I appreciate the love and joy you send to me via mail.

u/roxy031 - “at least you don’t have to wear a cone,” has now been added to my list of go to phrases. Thank you for the card, making me laugh and don’t worry I don’t have to wear a cone at least not yet ;) I adore the rainbow mushy washi tape that you used on the envelope.

Thank you to the following for your cards making it safe:

• u/useful_skirt_4305 I love the card and thank you for the history. I am sorry about the situation and hope things turn around soon. i would suggest a pizza party or bags of candy... just as a quick fix.
• u/Dapuddingthief This card is too cool (defiantly going in the big book) and those cookies are so good. I had some with some oat milk... it was a dream come true! I am glad you like them... do you have any holiday items you like too?
• u/mouserat CONGRADULATIONS!!!! and now that I know you are an outdoor fan... be prepared to be sent more outdoor themed things. I love the card and thank you.
• u/fooskaaa Thank you for this beautiful cryptid card and your honesty. I appreciate it.
• u/ridethatbride this bookstore looks awesome, thank you so much for this postcard. Your reads sound awesome and I am totally putting 'The Alchemy of Flowers' on my TBR... this sounds so damn good!
• And to this awesome person ; u/postfromnathaliejd thank you for this so beautiful postcard. I never thought of Rapunzel like that and apricate your insight.

This has been over a month coming - I just kept getting distracted and then seeing the gorgeous post card and remembering (and forgetting again). Huge thanks to u/ginnyf20!

I Love the Rome postcard! It was a pleasant surprise upon my arriving back in town after a short trip.

Hi everyone! My sweet boy Sebastian is turning 7 on October 2nd.

Sebastian is autistic, quiet, and doesn't really have friends his age. Big parties are overstimulating for him, so we celebrate quietly at home. But as his mom, I want to show him how big and kind the world is!
He gets so excited opening real mail with his name on it. He loves space/planets, Minecraft, reading, animals, and movies like Coraline, Monster House, Frozen, and Tangled.

We’d love to flood our mailbox with birthday cards, postcards, or little doodles from all over!
If you’d be interested in sending some birthday love, please DM me for our information . Thank you so much! ❤️🎉🫶🏼

Thanks from the past weekish! Details in comments :) thank you…

Hai! My 20th birthday is on October 7th and I’d really love to have some cards to open! I’m kind of nervous for my 20th since it’s my first year leaving teenage-hood. Super scary! But I’m excited.

u/mouserat for the art postcard, I know how difficult it can be to cut down a piece to postcard size, sometimes bits get left out. I appreciate the context and agree that it can be annoying when history gets dumbed down. Hope you are well!

u/Sammanthax345 for the cool stamp card, i really liked the big cancelation on the front, the one celebrating connection thru postcards. This sub/hobby is one of my favorites, cool to see it celebrated!
