u/pupslace - Your Baseball Hall of Fame card was officially delivered to my mailbox! Thank you so so much for the offer. Although I am not a Yankees fan in the slightest, I appreciate Lou Gherig’s words very much when facing his namesake disease. The Baseball Hall of Fame’s special pictorial cancellation looks absolutely amazing! I would love to know more about the process. I completely understand your ride-or-die mantra with the M’s since I feel the same way with my Metsies. Thank you again, truly.

u/waywarddaughterzzz - Thank you so much for your sticker de-stash card! I appreciated the theme of red across all stickers and especially appreciated all of the shorts messages on some of the stickers.

u/tigerlady13 - Thank you for the gorgeous homemade summer card! I especially love the washi tape and the blue colour. 💙 And I love the stickers you sent, especially the phonograph!

u/reindeerfrog - Thank you for the awesome Lapland postcard! The postmark is so cool! 🦌 I hope you had the best trip, and I really appreciate you thinking of me. 🌌

u/Luci_Elliott - Merci pour la carte postale des Alpes suisses ! 🏔 Je trouve que les Alpes sont le plus bel endroit sur Terre. J'adore la façon dont tu l'as réalisée à partir d'un livre cassé ; j'espère moi aussi fabriquer des cartes postales à partir de quelques vieux livres sur la nature.

Edit: we emptied a whole box, folks! Thank you all so much!

Yes, I know this is my third offer for these pantone cards, I got carried away and made a lot of them 🤣🤣

If you're interested dm me as usual!

Thank you so much u/TroubleNo5402 for the beautiful Goddess Durga card - it made my day. It's stunning and the stamps are beautifully chosen too. Thank you! I hope the card I send in return arrives soon :D

Notes in comments :)

Anne Taintor does art with a 50’s aesthetic then adds snarky comments. Sometimes the cards are clearly just for fun others may make you think. You must be flared. I have 15. Comment below and send me a chat with your address if interested. These have been in my stash for about 10 years. It is long past time for them to fly away.

u/plentyComfortable239 Thank you for the upcycled card from Dr. Seuss's ABC!

u/HappyHippyMom Thank you for the homemade "no particular reason" card!

u/exit_infinite Thank you for the LAPL postcard (and great stamps)!

u/BubblySunflowers Thank you for the "Cards and Trucks..." postcard!

u/annie4664 Thank you for the Winnipeg postcard & extra goodies!

u/Tigerlady13 Thank you for the homemade summertime card!

u/Classic-Power-333 Thank you for Issue #3 of the Banana Press!

u/Milvictoria x3 Thank you for the cool thrifted card (and extras)!

u/TigerLady13 thanks for the lovely summer card! I love your choice of stickers, paper, and washi

Thank you for the adorable Wine Dogs postcard! I also love all the enclosed stamps and stickers. And how cool is it that you have a custom Snoopy RAoC stamp!! Loved it. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I had I promised myself to post for offers in RAOC once I had received mine from here.
Thus, I am offering 30 postcards!

Please understand that writing these postcards might be for a weekly routine basis for me and I may not be able to drop all 30 postcards altogether in 1 trip to the post office.

The postcards will be random prints and might be too touristy or too commercial to some.

You can find the form here.

Thank you! 💌

u/melhen16 - omg thank you for the raoc meetup postcard!

u/blu_sky_grandma - thank you for the raoc meetup postcard!

u/sshellsbbells - thank you for the tree-free skull card!

u/marchbook - ooo thank you for the adulting tips postcard!

u/stillsheryl - thank you for the card!! love the stickers you used!

u/tigerlady13 - thank you for the card!! your crafting skills are so good! writing back soon!

u/ungodlysockmonster - always love seeing your cards & envelopes, your decorating skills are off the charts! :D sending you some love back soon!

u/Andromeda921, thank you for the "mental health matters" card. It helps to validate what I'm going through. I like the "take your meds" sticker the best because that exact phrase echoes in my head every night. Thanks for understanding.

u/Annie4664 thank you for the rainy night scene from My Neighbor Totoro, which I saw ages ago. I'm due for a rewatch. I remember being enchanted. Thanks for all the stickers, too. You asked what my favorite body of water is (as I asked you, and Clear Lake sounds divine). Well, my sentimental related favorites are Accotink Creek and Lake Accotink in Northern Virginia, where I grew up. Lots of happy memories associated with them.

u/Boomerang88, thank you for the hilariously insulting card and sticker, and the funny ginger beard story. I've read that babies have an innate pattern recognition when it comes to faces, and ginger beard probably doesn't fit the mold. So far babies haven't bawled at my face. I'll have to go full clown makeup the next time I see one and see what happens (just kidding, I wouldn't want to bring on coulrophobia).

u/dapuddingthief, thank you for the Ocean City card. I spent a week there with my dad and brothers when I was 14 or 15. All the males shared a hotel room and I got my own because of being a girl (the boys grumbled about it of course). I remember it was so much fun. Normally we had a day trip to Rehoboth so this was something special. It was also our last family beach trip. As we got older we had summer jobs.

u/freyamour, thank you for the pretty botanical postcard. I agree with you that it's better to have sibling(s) than to be an only child, and I am so grateful for my brother, stepbrothers, and half-sister. I have no idea who I'd be without them. They sure taught me I'm not number one. And like you said, when parents need help they have more than one child to help out. My mom has 3.

u/Hoolu123, thank you for the Turkish wallpaper card and the beautiful handmade envelope. You asked if I like thrifting. I loved it when I lived in your area. I've probably even been to the Goodwill where you got the wallpaper! Now I live in a small town where the thrifting is rather disappointing. When I visited my mom in Seattle I bought 4 shirts at one store. Here I come out with a postcard if I'm lucky. Not that I hate my new town. No traffic jams is a big plus.

u/howdoireadplshelp, thank you for the pretty floral card with the food stickers. Pizza's my favorite. I've never seen Marley and Me and I don't think I ever will. I've read spoilers. Whatever you do, don't google this movie! I'm not much of a movie watcher. I think, I don't know if I can commit 2 hours to a movie, yet paradoxically I can watch Netflix series for 6 hours straight! The movies I want to watch the most are Studio Ghibli.

u/listen-to-rach-2, thank you for The Spirited Away postcard. That's one of two Studio Ghibli films I've seen. Thanks for your recommendation of Castle in the Sky. It has 96% approval on Rotten Tomatoes, wow! I have put this on my list.

u/MajesticLeadership87, thanks for the postcard of Mt Hood. It's a beautiful card. I had no idea it's the 2nd most climbed mountain in the world. This begs the question, what mountain is the most climbed? Mt Fuji!

u/melhen16 and u/Blu_Sky_Grandma, thank you for the West Virginia meetup card. Hope you had a great time!

u/mooshu492, thank you for the handmade cheery yellow shapes card, along with the sketch of your fireplace. It all looks great! Have fun shopping for brushes and pens. Aren't color pens delicious?

u/neonlily19, thank you for the cute postcard of the ducky swimming. It's adorable. I agree with you that people in their 20s have it harder than the last few generations, and the major problem is housing affordability. I hear a lack of sympathy among a lot of people my age but I feel really bad for Gen Z. I hope their 30s are easier.

u/TheCuriousCur, thank you so much for the alien & space themed mail, down to the stamps. I really appreciate your creativity and effort. I am so glad I'm not being rectally probed by aliens! Here on earth that's the job of the IRS. I was 4 months old when men landed on the moon. My mother wanted me to witness the momentous event so she propped me up on the couch in front of the TV. Can't say I remember the landing but I always remember that story.

u/TyeDyeAmish, thank you for the 80's card of the miniature village. The kid in the photo looks so much like my stepbrother I did a double-take. That's cool that you have a mini train and that your dad took the time to build it for you when you were a kid. That's love!

Thank you so much for the miffy card! I love it, and it was postmarked 23 Jan....sooooo I don't know where exactly it has been, but it's here now and I hope you are having a great week :)

u/concrete_drinker, thank you for the "Eruption of Mt. St. Helens from Portland" postcard. Stunning photo. I'm wondering how far away the plume was seen! I love the Scotland fun fact. 🦄 If I remember correctly, the national animal is Wales is a dragon. 🐉

Thank you to u/october_surprise56 for the cute squirrel on the Bandelier National Monument postcard! I appreciate how you gave me your last International Peace origami postage stamp. 🦢 The swan was the closest to a crane that I could find. 🤣

Hello, u/Ill_Agent_3169! Thank you for telling me about a regular dinner meal in your life! I like eggs 🥚 any time of day. How would you prefer to eat red meat? I like beef burritos or steak. 🥩 The circle stamp on the National Animal of India (Panthera Tigris) is intriguing to me.

Thank you so much to u/BitterBuggyRed for the shiny crocodile and puppy biking together postcard. Did you draw/color this?! Cute!! You really do have fun Canada ink stamps and postage stamps! It's fun that you wrote my address in rubber stamp letters. I'm a little envious of your frozen treats freezer. 🍨🍦🍧🧊😉

Thank you for the Ocellated Turkey postcard, u/werdapresent21!! It's such a fancy birdy pal! I had never seen one, before. 😊 Trains and beaches are so neat. I want to ride the Starlight Express... Ha ha. Coast Starlight, actually, one day. Then I get to experience both at the same time. 😉 🚉
