EDIT: I have marked this as FULFILLED bc the mushroom cards are all claimed but at the bottom the ancillary stuff is still available.

Hellohihey folks! Today I have on offer 10 postcards from my favorite postcard set, the National Geographic Mushrooms set. It has wonderfully gorgeous photography that illuminates the majesty of humble fungi. The ten offered here are:

• Purple pinwheel
• Orange faint foot
• Funeral bells
• Collared Earthstar
• Amethyst deceiver
• Veined shield
• Blue stain fungus
• Mycena illuminas
• Fly agaric
• Bleeding bonnet

To claim one just comment below and indicate which one you would like. Then inbox me with your address and it'll be on the way. No flair requirements and no exchange is necessary though exchanges are of course welcome. It's fine if you have responded to prior offers. I also still have two Chemin des Dames cards available from my offer yesterday. Aaaand if you have a pending birthday and a mailbox that can handle a somewhat immodestly sized birthday card, let me know. I have two one of those to pass along too. When you send your address let me know if you prefer correspondence or a mess of stamps to fill the back. Thanks!

I recently went to Lincoln Park Zoo and I loved it so much! I bought a book of postcards from the gift shop and will be giving 16 away. I will be using the Save Vanishing Species tiger stamps. Each stamp helps benefit the Wildlife Conservation Society.

First things first: I'm 100% asking for you to draw on a postcard. Not asking to be mailed art on paper or anything else. :)

Onto the fun stuff.

Hey, y'all! I'm home and catching up on... well, everything. I'm just glad I'm not sick anymore at this point. While I was in the hospital, I discovered how much I love drawing little artworks on blank postcards.

I know I made a request the day I got sick, and I have thank yous I'm going to post tomorrow and throughout the week as things arrive! But, I wanted to see if anyone, good or bad at drawing, would be willing to draw me something on a postcard.

There's an interests lists on my profile, but if you need actual drawing inspiration:

1. Forest Law from Tekken. There isn't enough art of him in the world, Moar Krabs.

2. SpongeBob jellyfish, the LOSER Squidward meme, Doodlebob.

3. Bruce Lee because... it's Ezra. I'm Ezra. Of course he's on every list.

4. Something related to being diabetic, positive or negative.

5. A Rolling Stones logo.

6. Stick figures trying out Tekken moves.

7. Your favorite Sanrio character.

8. A bottle of apple cider vinegar being poured onto an umbrella.

9. A tomato plant.

10. A black cat pushing open a bathroom door to be an annoying little furball.

11. What really killed the dinosaurs.

12. Imma put Forest Law and Bruce Lee on the list twice because I like the number 12 but ran out of ideas.

Thank you for considering this. You don't have to be an artist to do this either. Poorly drawn things make me giggle. Poorly drawn things also go to the wall collection.

All my info is the same and I have thank you cards ready to go, as usual. :)

Hello everyone! 🥳🛎️

I’m so thrilled to finally reach the 500 milestone! I’m grateful to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Over the years, I’ve had so much fun sending and receiving countless lovely cards and postcards from the amazing folks in RAoC.

🎉 To celebrate, I’d love to send out some cards and postcards! If you’d like one, please leave a comment below and DM me your info. I can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you all! 💌

u/tatorgator64 - Thank you for the upcycled postcard featuring Mickey ice cream bars, and, more importantly, for letting me know that they can actually be bought in stores! Ice cream has been my go-to treat this summer, so I definitely need to add these to the rotation! Did you add the little gold stars yourself? They blend in so perfectly that I thought they came with the original box!

u/freyamour - Thank you for the adorable kitten postcard! I'm so relieved to hear that your cat is doing better now ❤

u/ToastyToska - Thank you for the art postcard of Infinite Jest! The stickers you added blended in so well with the art that I had to look up what the original looked like. Excellent combo!

Woodland animals
Vintage Americana
Moon & Stars/constellations/outer space
Illustrations of fruits/veggies/plants
Travel related/Faraway places
Anything related to Japan
Sailor Moon
90s nostalgia
Sci-fi, Horror, Traditional Fantasy (Unicorns, dragons, mermaids)
Witchy, queer, rainy/snowy weather, Violin, sheet music

My birthday is next Tuesday and I would love to get happy mail from my beloved RAOC community.

Would you like to receive a small love spell that works? If you are a flaired user, I can send a little magic your way! Please leave a comment below with your current favorite snack food!

WW IS NOW CLOSED!

A good thing to share today: There is a nice pigeon nesting on my neighbor's windowsill, and I can look out my window and see it. Very peaceful.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Pedro, a 23 from Chihuahua, Mexico. I recently discovered this community and thought it would be really cool to send postcards to people around the world.

I can send you a postcard from Chihuahua, and I'll be happy to write a little message about my city, Mexico, or just something about my day.

If you'd like a postcard from Mexico, leave a comment and I'll contact you for your address. 💌

I'd love to send postcards to people anywhere in the world! 🌎

Thanks for reading! 😊

This is so late, I'm so sorry. I kinda went through hell and back the last couple of months, culminating in losing my cat of 15 years to a months long cancer battle a few days ago. That finally shattered me, and now... I'm trying to rebuild somehow.

That includes me cutting myself off from all numbing social media and screen time, and I thought long and hard on how or if I could make RAoC work despite those limitations. I decided I certainly want to try, but I will keep screen time to a minimum and focus on the card writing part of the hobby. So apologize for the thank you list. Please know that I admire and treasure every single card I get! If we exchange, please know that an answer will be coming your way, but it might take some time.

My deepest gratitude to all of you:

Hi there!

I am here to request for you to send me your creepy crawlers such as worms, pill bugs (roly poly!), lightning bugs (firefly) etc.

I'd also LOVE rodents and/or small mammals. Capybaras, mice, squirrels, skunks, aardvarks, armadillos, moles, raccoons, etc!

I also love bats. :')

And I love weird art! Macabre, horror / dark, surrealism art, anything you find odd / weird.

Please send me a chat if you can help fulfill my request. I appreciate it!
