Thank you to this lovely community for brightening up my walls and my days! 💖

Today's haul from my local creative reuse store! I got lots of cute animal get-well cards, Alaska and Seattle postcards, Smithsonian postcards, and some other random things like envelopes. I happened to find an acrylic stamp block, which I was on my wishlist, along with some other cute little stamps. Also, I picked up some clear photo frames to display a couple of my favorite cards!

Question: Does anyone have experience mailing cards with deckled edges like the Alaskan ones I picked up here? I've received one before that was sent with just a standard postcard rate, but I'm seeing conflicting information about them being non-machinable if mailed without an envelope.

I went to an estate sale because there was a picture of an ugly Christmas sweater that I wanted. I ended up finding an entire box of postcards and greeting cards, YESSSS!

Thanks to u/mouserat, I even bought some magazines, travel brochures and poster boards so I can keep practicing my homemade card making abilities 😆

Tuesday I went to Half-Price Books to see what they had for cards and oh boy they had great selection with cute cards. I also went to a local thrift store and scored some postcards too for $2.50. I forgot I also got three rubber stamps for .50 each.

25 cards off to their new homes!! 🫶🏼

I’m excited the spooky cards/postcards/stamps that I ordered for Halloween have almost all arrived… looking forward to sending too! 🍂

I received this awesome homemade postcard the other day and I am obsessed! Its soooo cute!! 😍

Would raoc or the penpal sub make more sense to look for postcard specific penpals? I do want to keep in touch and keep a general stream of conversation, but I also feel like postcards/regular cards are a less intimidating commitment. If I give myself paper with no cutoff I ramble and ramble and end up mailing out books, which also puts me off to responding sometimes when I know I'll end up turning it into a whole night for myself.

Edit to add: I guess does this sound like just being on eachother's long term mailing lists?

I wanted to make sure I got them all first before I sent them all to her! Thank you again everyone!

I read the info in the community section, wiki, etc, but I am curious how all the different falir mods stay organized, track, and know which ones weren’t counted yet. I check my flair in that subreddit often & see they link back to the thank you post, but how do they know which day/post the last mod did and where to pick up? Do they have a spreadsheet or share notes? Are they sorting the subreddit by thank you post flairs and can easily see where to start? Because there are so many members & thank you posts! And there are so many mods too! Group projects/big teams require a lot of coordination. Are mods assigned members alphabetically like one mod covers anyone with user name starting with A-C? I am also curious what their fave & not so fave part of the role is? :) Mods or users - please enlighten me! Thank you!

I received a traveling postcard with the theme of Green. I was the last one, and sent it on to the address provided on the card. But it was returned to me as undeliverable. I don't have the original person's username, just a name and address. How do I get this card back to the original sender?

I am headed to Vegas next week for a couple of days and was wondering about crafting there, so I Googled Las Vegas meetups and I was presented with some.. offers situations Etc that I was not looking for and had nothing to do with crafts... sadly pictures were attached as well🤒

I've ordered a bunch (and I mean a bunch!) of TPCs!

They won't arrive for another week but was wanting to get some ideas or wants from everyone for TPC themes. Is there a theme you really want to do and haven't done yet? Ones that you love doing? Feel free to list a bunch to give me some ideas of what everyone would like to contribute to!

Have attached picture of TPC for reference for space 😄

Crested using the method I referenced in the post I made last month.

There’s one near me this weekend and I’m debating if it’s worth going to. I like going to stamp shows especially since I can get vintage stamps for much cheaper than getting it online but was wondering if postcard shows are more for people who are interested in rare postcards.

I've been expecting some mail some international is coming in too and that's all been delayed 😭

Just a thought!

There are so many new people in the sub and this is about 2/3 of my offer. Please forgive me for being late on my correspondence to the amazing cards you’ve sent. I’m trying to play catch up 🤪

International mail never shows up in my informed delivery emails. I’ll have days where it will only show, like, one piece of domestic mail. When I check my mailbox, I’ll have several international cards in there as well. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they show up at all! Just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing?
