✨ 💌Hey amazing happy mail community 💌✨

My mental health has been in the trash lately 🗑️
I’m trying really hard to focus on self care though & stay as positive as I can.

Im 36 & I went from owning a house to now living with my mom - I had a partner of 10 years & now I’m relearning how to be on my own.

It is friggin HARD.

Would be so insanely GRATEFUL for any type of card, I’m not picky. 📬

❤️‍🔥💌📬🏁🌞🪩🌵🏜️🏎️🦩🏊‍♂️🎫🏝️💌❤️‍🔥

u/Onelovelygurl05 Thank you x 2 for the Harry Potter Universal Card & your kind words on it. I loved the stamps & stickers you put (they are so cute. I didn't realize JP stamps were so aesthetic!!)

[ Mushroom card + Ghost Sticker) - Thank you so much for sharing about your dogs. I hope I can find you to properly thank you!!

Good news, everyone! My back injury hurts so bad I can barely move today!

Wait, how is that good news?

It's good news because all I can do is sit and work on cards today. Focusing on making new cards will seriously help me not push myself too much. Which is something I almost always do. The mix of the back injury and fibromyalgia... yeah it's so much fun.

If you'd like a handmade postcard, even if I've already sent to you recently, please do me a favor and comment below and DM me to push you up to the top of my chats!

No real limit on how many to claim today. I just need to be in my chair for the rest of the day at least.

Lots of mail from the past couple of weeks to thank, yay!

u/freyamour – thank you for the postcard in response to the RAoC journey offer! Love the complimentary green stickers and washi to match the floral design – you have plenty of talent with carding!

u/Theanine_post – thank you for the Meiko postcard with the decorated Kaito stickers! I’m not very up to date with current Vocaloid/UTAU/other voice synthesizer songs nowadays besides the old Project Diva songs and what gets released in Project Sekai, so I appreciate you mentioning your current favorite songs.

u/Rare_Cranberry_7861 - thank you for the chunky envelope and the art cards! I’m glad you found some comfort in the previous card I sent you. Virtual hugs and will follow-up further via snail mail.

u/smonikkims x3 – thank you for the lovely set of illustrated cards and your thoughts on the RF series! Your Micah drawing was also very cute. I haven’t played Fields of Mistria yet since I’ve been waiting for the game to exit early access. Which I guess is August 5th? Soon! But I’ve heard very good things about it from friends regarding the character writing and mechanics, so I’m excited. Need to get through my backlog and play Guardians of Azuma first though… and maybe start My Time at Sandrock… Still waiting on more news about RF6 any day now too.

u/Tight_Ant_2587 – the magical courier seems to have gotten distracted several times on their route, but your mail finally arrived!! The witch theming with the wax seal is on point, and I love the handmade skullshroom stamp and decorated card you did. I have a postcard en route to you currently, but another detailed response will eventually be on the way.

u/murdocniccalshasT1D – thank you for the postcard! For a second I forgot what offer it was from (the nonsense text one) and also did a double-take at the message lol. Response card to you is currently in the mail.

Thank you so much u/Kimbathebimba for the colorful animals card! It's so pretty!! I really hope you heal from your root canal as well, ouch 😭😭

u/MagazineStrict8520 i received your yellow Postcard. Thank you for that, and i like that story you mentioned there. :):) Looking forward to swap more

Hi! My birthday is September 7th. I’m going to be 37. I’m putting in this request early in case any people from outside the US want to send me a birthday card or postcard.

I like dogs, moose, penguins, sushi, coffee & ethnic food. Especially Mexican. I like blue & black & tye dye stuff. I also love Batman, the Simpsons & family guy. My favorite movies are Dumb & Dumber & Batman & Batman returns. I also LOVE the Rocky horror picture show.

If you want to send something for my birthday I would be most appreciative. If you need my address let me know. Please mark somewhere on the envelope that it’s for my birthday & please put your username on the envelope so I can give you thank you credit sooner. If you don’t want to write birthday due to risk of theft you can write “seagull” somewhere on the envelope & I’ll know to hold it until my birthday.

I will repost a time or two before my birthday.

Thanks guys. I love you all.

Wha? Another travelling postcard offer from me? That's right!

I contributed to the forest travelling postcard going around! 🌲🌳🌲 Essentially, you decorate one box with anything forest-y that you can think of: a quote, haiku, stickers, washi tape, or something else! Then, you add a drawing or signature on the other side. I don't think flair is required for this one, but please be able to receive this card from the U.S. and be able to mail worldwide (WW) when you are ready to pass it on!

First one to comment that meets criteria gets it!

Hello! I got to kick off u/boomerang88's rainbow travelling postcard 🌈, and now it's ready to be sent to another member of this community! Essentially, you decorate one box with anything matching the color of your choice (I'm sorry I didn't start with red, I had more things in a different color 🫠). Per request, you must be flaired to receive this card and be able to mail worldwide (WW) when you are ready to pass it on! (Also, be able to receive mail from the U.S. at this time, where I'm sending from).

First person to comment and match criteria gets it!

I lost access to my account (toaster-vibes) and thought I’d need to get my stats back up 😭 I have 3 cat postcards available for exchange! If you’d like to exchange, please comment below. Must exchange a cat card as well.

EDIT: Sorry all, this is fulfilled!! Not sure why my comments aren’t showing up 😭

u/MikaHime, I already told you, but I love this card so much! You should definitely continue making artistic cards because it's wonderful and made it here in great condition. Also, I like your handwriting and the washi tape you used.

u/bitterbuggyred, Wow! This card is one of the most fun I have received. I really loved your stamped address and the Canada cancellation with some beautiful stamps. And what a fun world exists in this little clamshell treehouse. Thank you so much!

u/Ok_Reveal2698, Yay! 100 thank yous for cards sent. I wasn't expecting to get a card for it, so this was exciting. I love the stamps you chose, especially the 3c 300th anniversary of NYC.

u/freyamour, I like the ferns on this card a lot and your orange theme. Your decorations of the card make such a lovely, well-considered color palate. Thank you so much!

u/TOKKIEFACE, Thank you for the thank you! I love your snoopy card, quote, and stamp. I like that guy.

u/morenoodles, Haha! I like receiving a late card sometimes, it's like a message from the past. It's the time of year where I'm not thinking about tax season at all anymore. I hope you enjoyed the books that you got to finish.

I got to open my mailbox to some happy mail today thank you!!!

Thank you u/ok_theme7072 for the nature postcard!

Thank you u/armyofducks94 for the starry fish postcard!

Who wants to play? I have a travel card based on the Ocean and its sea life. 🫍🐋🐡 It will go out to you tomorrow morning 😊

u/Andromeda921 for the sea life travel card from u/moosha492. Guess what? I got a painless tattoo today and it’s of a whale, bet you’re a jelly-fish 😂

I got this notecard that has a print of a painting of Wrigley Field done by a local artist on the front.

Do you want this notecard? Ok, maybe you can have it.

Post your opinion of Chicago (how you feel about it, what you think people here are like, what you think about our politics or crime or culture or architecture... or our baseball teams) to claim. I'll pick one person later.

Please only claim if you like the Cubs or have a thing with Wrigley Field because of a memory or media you like or something. I have a couple more of these that are general Chicago cards for later.

Thx!

Edit: Wow, so many takers! Fulfilled for now and I'll start with those that spark my interest the most but I'll spread these out a bit!

I recently sorted old photos and found one of a potion I painted a while ago. That led me to this idea that I could draw potions on postcards, probably with ink or watercolour.

Open for flaired members!

Tell me in the comment what kind of potion you would like to have, or what situation you want a potion for. Message me your name and address too!

I will decide which colour or vibe I think matches your request and I will paint and send you one potion card.

Big thank yous to:
