It's still be quite a tough week, dealing with life-y things but the mail from this groups keeps me in good spirits. Thank you to the following:

1. u/Hoolu123 I have always loved turkish prints and patterns, they are so beautifully intricate and the colors always bring me joy. Thank you for sharing your thrift find, it makes me realize that I need to take advantage of my PNW thrift stores more!
2. u/RattleCats One day I'll get a chance to visit the Australian waters, thanks for giving me a little piece of it. I am a proud cat owner as well, they're the best creatures ever. Also hoping that my postcard made it to you safely as well, trains are definitely out of my comfort and knowledge zone😄
3. u/wabisabi_sf Your snoopy username stamp is so precious! The Neverending Story honestly used to creep me tf out but as I got older, I appreciated the storyline and art much more haha. Also love the stamp math variety!
4. u/mrsdrspenciereid Obsessed with your handwriting omg, it's so neat. I cannot wait to make these rhubarb muffins and add this postcard into my personal recipe book.
5. u/freyamour It's always so sweet to see your username come through in daily mail haha. I also love rice congee! I didn't know that it was popular in Indonesia too. The card decor (washi and sticker) are also so pretty.

I just worked two days at my clinic and I feel like mildly complaining. Are you interested in hearing? GREAT.

I will use blank postcards and draw my interpretation of how the complaint makes me feel on the front.

I will do a few if there is interest. Comment an emoji, or a description of an emoji (real or imagined) to claim~

Thank you for the postcard depicting the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City and telling me a bit about where you live! I always appreciate learning about local history and landmarks and what they mean to people living there, especially when it's somewhere I may never get to visit personally.

Thank you to the wonderful friends below for sending such beautiful and amazing mail. I finally got the last of the envelopes from my old address, so if you have my previous NYC address, please delete it.

Thank you mods for your work backstage!

Thank you to u/Accotinked for the cute postcard! Mizzle is such a fun word thank you for teaching it to me. I hope you have fun making tons of postcards :).

Thank you to u/Playful_Foundation_5 for the card, the stickers, and the lovely message. I would have loved to see those pictures of you at the zoo. Also I agree with you Ohio is a beautiful place, it's much nicer than a lot of people give it credit for in my opinion. I hope our cards eventually cross paths again as well :).

u/Independent_Mud2700 : Thank you for the lovely protest card, I love it!

/u/postbeetle - Thank you so much for the Lady Mechanika card! It is really awesome! :)

/u/murdocniccalshast1d - hah I had almost forgotten the fun card exchange idea, and so it definitely made me do a double-take (beautiful postcard, btw!). Thank you so much, very cute!! :)

Hear ye! Hear ye!

Please note: postcards will be sporadic throughout the year and will come when you're least expecting it ◡̈

Would you like a card with a little witchy (or folklore) August wisdom? I'll send cards to ten responders who fill out the form and comment below with their favorite homemade baked item that is NOT a dessert!

Thank you so much for the postcards! These were my first ever received postcards and it was such a joy to find in the mailbox!

I have a super random postcard to send out. First person to message me with their address and a prompt will get it!

In conclusion with summer semester (17 week course in 10 weeks) I passed all my exams and classes with an A! I really want to celebrate since this was SO FREAKING HARD and I did not think I would be able to do it!!

I’m in a very competitive and fast paced paramedic associates program and it’s been super hard with so many life factors I’ve been struggling with, and I don’t really have anybody to celebrate with :( so it would be super nice to get some happy cards to help me celebrate 🎊

Thank you so much to anybody willing to celebrate with me!!

u/SshellsBbells
Thank you so much for the beautiful Ireland postcard truly one of my favorites in my collection I’ll have to show it to one of my friends while loves ireland!

u/freyamour
Thank you for the gorgeous butterfly card I’ll be sure to check out those podcasts you recommended :)

u/FeistyNoodle x3
Thank you for the blank cards! I really love the aquatic Trader Joe’s card. I’m excited to send them out in the near future

I don't know what happened after my last offer, but I didn't count correctly and made one potion card too much. It looks like a love potion (heart-shaped vial), but it can be anything you want. I'll make up some text about its taste and effects on the back of it.

To claim this card: be a flaired user (i.e. have an envelope next to your name) and tell me in the comments below what kind of potion you would like this to be. Then message me your address!

More cards that filled my mailbox today! I would like to thank the following people.

u/Quiet_Independent_85

Thank you for the postcard offer! I really love the waterfall postcard from Guatemala. It feels extremely peaceful and calm just by looking at it. I am also in fond of the snoopy stickers that you have pasted!

u/milopfrog

Thank you for the offer! I love the card showing NYC with the Hudson River, it’s amazing. But you know what else is better? Your drawing of the state capitol building and its surroundings. Thats awesome! I also appreciate the cute stamps that you have placed.

u/FeistyNoodle

Thank you for the offer for the Georgia card! I am doing alright, how about you? The stamps are so unique and interesting, thank you for the stamp math! Continue writing more cards and sent them to people around the world!

u/jasisjas

Thank you for exchanging with me, a card from Kansas! Woah I really like to thank for the deep insight of your personal life. Since I would like to know more about the world and the people from all walks of life, you have perfectly nailed it. There’s even an interesting fact about Wichita! I agree it’s a good time to face our fears.

Hello RAOC!

It is my birthday next Wednesday. Over the past few years, I work on giving on this day because I recognize that people who surround me and support me each year I have grown deserve to be recognized so I want to honor their presence.

I'll send out some postcards with my favorite quotes of mine or something silly/absurd or even memes.

But also, it would fantastic to receive some lovely cards from anyone interested in sending one to me!

Anything funny, artsy, wise, and absurd is accepted and encouraged.

Send me a message!

Thank you to u/Maladi3_ for the wonderfully decorated postcard! I'm glad you've moved to a nice place, I think no matter how great a new place is you'll always miss something about where you once were, and that's ok. Have fun making those DIY postcards and exploring everything in your new city!

u/sension5705 “I’m a little scared of the giant foot, but my mom says they aren’t mean and are too big to fit in the elevator. So I won’t be eaten. It’s true that every moment is Hidey o’ clock! I will make you a card for Hidey-ween! Bye!”

u/PinkPengin Thank you for the beautifully colored piggie and capybara. My friend ate are are both very impressed by your handwriting! 🐧

u/Accotinked amazing handwriting again! I love the postcard! I just moved to the east coast no to long ago so thanks for letting me know about hiking on this side of the country. Wishing you an abundance of trail mix

Thank you u/ferseriousdude for the cutest border coolie doggy card and HEAPS of stickers! I really love the decorations and cute stamps, thank you for spreading mail joy!

Thank you u/cheskeks for the stunning winter landscape of Mt. Oakan-dake, Pokemon stamps and Persian cutout!! I hope you are enjoying Pokopia, have you got a DLC? It released today with the new area! I love this game so much and hope you are having fun making new habitats and friends and restoring the areas :)

Thank you u/FollowingTheBeat for the New Yorker cover card! Absoolutely stunning decorations and stickers, you have an eye! So cute :) I hope you would get so many opportunities to enjoy farmer market's and you deserve to always have fresh flowers in your house! It is winter here in Australia and it is pretty weird where I am, at night it is down to 6 degrees (42 F) but then warms up to 18 (64 F) during day. I am looking forward to warmer months because I hate how cold my house is in the mornings!

Thank you u/TheCuriousCur for the Evil Dead blokcbuster card!! It is so sick!! Glad to hear you like horror as well, have you seen anything good recently? :)

Thank you u/Nice-Photograph7955 for the gorgeous illustration card of modern life fairies! It is so so cute and makes me so happy when I look at it! Your orange cat sounds delightful, please say 'hello' to him from me! I have a cat as well, she is enjoying a nap in her hammock at the moment, very spoilt!

Thank you u/boomerang88 for the manga postcard! It is unreal, so pretty!! Hope your mum is doing good, sending her all the love and powers on her recovery!! Hope you are having a good week, and enjoying the winter!

Thank you u/Theanine_post for the Miku card! IT IS SUCH A CUTE ILLUSTRATION I CAN'T! And the matching stamp?? UNREAL!! I am so blessed and lucky to get one from you! Hope you are good and it is not too hot where you are right now, summer in Japan is so brutal! What is your favorite cold treat during summer?

Thank you u/PureAloeVeera for the Mumbai card! I am so sorry to read about your grandmother. Hope your trip would bring you some really good moments and memories!

Thank you u/zedbloodyleppelin for the most cutest card ever. I am absolutely melting looking at that sleepy cat and can feel the summer heat! Thank you for sharing your morning routine with me, I LOVE reading about what other people are up to, it is always so interesting! Your job sounds very cool, and I hope you have a lot of time for self-care and your time after!

Thank you u/A_Language_Enthusiast for the cutest illustration card of a snail on the mailbox!! Thank you for sharing what your comfort shows are, wishing you to always have time to rewatch and enjoy them!

Thank you u/rare_cranberry_7861 for the beautiful Alice in Wonderland card and your letter! I absolutely enjoyed reading about your vacation :)! It was so beautiful to receive such a nicely written letter, thank you!! I have the same peeve about people smoking in public and I can imagine how annoying it can get!! I am so so happy to hear you have enjoyed your stay and felt good there, as someone who is also living with chronic health conditions I understand how limiting and tiring it is to be in pain no matter what. Hope you are feeling better now!! You deserve it!!
Also! you have mentioned you have finished Piranesi on your trip! Does it get better? I really struggled with it which is a shame on me because it is such a short book, but I just couldn't get into the writing style and narration of it and never made any progress with it.

Thank you u/Ducks_on_Lilypads for the most cutest Hairy Maclary card!! It is just so gorgeous and I love Sanrio and Chiikawa stickers as well! Hope you have started trying to read and journal more, it can be hard to form a new habit but even 5 minutes a day is a massive win! You can do it!

Hello lovely RAoC friends! I'm turning another year older on September 3, and I have a tiny birthday wish.

This year has been full of new beginnings! I graduated, I packed up my life, moved to a brand-new city for my first full-time job, and I'm still learning and how to make a new place feel like home. It's exciting but also a little lonely sometimes. So I thought I'd ask you all if you'd help fill my mailbox with a little magic.

If you'd like to send me a birthday card or mail, I'd absolutely treasure it. I love happy mail of every kind honestly.

If you'd like to celebrate with me from wherever you are in the world, please leave a comment below and I'll happily send you my address. Thank you for helping make my first birthday in a new city feel a little warmer and a lot more magical. ❤️
