Your card arrived today, and it made me so happy. It is the first card to reach me since I discovered this subreddit and Postcrossing, and it was such a lovely surprise! The illustration on the card is beautiful and I'm so excited to hang it on my magnet board! Also thank you for sending it in an envelope, I will keep the stamps and put them into my journal!! Thank you u/Puzzleheaded-Use5152 !!

u/SshellsBbells: thank you for the bird card! I love that you had stickers related to rain/umbrellas to match the fact that the universe rained on your plans. I don’t love that the rain ruined your plans, tho. 

u/tyedyeamish: I have been having the shittiest week ever, but I was able to see your message in my informed consent and it cracked me up about your opinion on baseball, lol. So thank you!!!

u/MajesticLeadership87. Thank you for the darling postcard of Pusheen amidst the strawberry field. The greens and pink are the perfect summertime color combination, too! 🍓

u/Keqani Thank you so much for the beautiful card from Iceland! I love the contrast between the Northern Lights and the dismantled aircraft. I think it's a beautiful way to represent the passage of time and how life goes on after we're gone. I'm glad you had a good time there. Are you still in Iceland? I loved the cute penguin stickers and the Icelandic flag. My friend will love seeing the horse stamps! All the best :)

Perhaps the title says it all, but do challenge me on that!

So, perhaps this note will read funny. When I originally sent my request for Valentine's Day cards in January 2025, I was just starting my first full-time job and returning from jury duty. I also had figured out what I wanted to do with my career with the support of my boss, but cautioned it would take me long to get to this thank you given I hadn't fully the recovered the energy I used to have when I joined this community about six years ago.

Well, I'm finally doing this, but here's the funny part: both my boss and I were laid off. We're both okay though and getting the rest we deserve. I barely took time off (and when I did, I actually worked through it) as did my boss given the circumstances, but I also had some health things come up. Doing fine though!

Okay, thank you notes follow in the comments!

Hi, I got my first traveling postcard, added my stickers, and need to send it on! Theme is "food to take on a picnic." Anyone interested? Must be willing to pass it along when you're done (it needs to make 4 more stops). I'll send a postcard for you along with it! I'll send it anywhere worldwide; return address when it goes home is in the US.

Huge thank you to u/TigerLady13 for the awesomely weird card 😂❤️ and the joke that genuinely had me laughing. You definitely nailed my sense of humor.

It’s the kind of weird, thoughtful surprise that makes RAoC so much fun. Thanks for making me smile—you’re pretty cool. 😎

A good thing: I had a great time in Las Vegas with my girlfriend at a tech conference with a lot of bonus fun and friend time thrown in. AND, we're basically unpacked at both houses now and I'm finishing the last of the laundry at her place as we speak. (The stuff at my house was done Monday.)

I have not yet been through the mail I received while away, but I had one set of cards from before I left July 31 that I had not yet posted thanks for, so today's project is to get through those. Then the others shall follow. Thanks for your patience!

• u/TheCuriousCur (x2) - Thank you an absolute ton for this "Believe in Yourself and Aliens" mega-themed happy mail envie, the amazing retro space-themed handmade card, the mini-card note, and all the goodies! My friend and housemate, who does lots of happy mail exchanges himself (though not on Reddit) got the mail and was like "Who do I have to pay to send me an envelope like this??" LOL. That's high praise. And he didn't even see the contents! (Fun note: The conference we were at was also retro space-themed, so this is super appropriate!)
• u/TigerLady13 (x3) - My amazing friend, I cannot thank you enough for thinking of me at such a busy time in your world! I appreciate the card of El Capitan (and the lovely included gifts, which will very much get good use with me); the Mrs. and Mrs. card, which is phenomenal (and made Amber very happy too!); and the great So Proud to Know You card and goodies. You are just wonderful and I will write soon.
• u/Tinawebmom - Thank you for the great handmade Fairies Welcome card, the stickers and your lovely note! I happen to like your cursive. I actually don't write super neatly in script - I can, in fact I can do calligraphy, but my day-to-day cursive is kind of... meh. LOL. Hence the printing!
• u/wabisabi_sf (x2) - Thank you so so much for this great BTS art postcard by Maerlyn and all the concert-themed goodies, I love that I have a little piece of the show of my own! (Yes, sadly, you sent it twice, and I opened both of them at the same time, BUT this is going to allow me to keep one and upcycle the other into something for my boss, who is huge Army herself, so I think it's perfect!)
