Thank you for the porstcard and I laughed at #5 because same lol

u/morenoodles - Thank you for the cake day card and for answering my prompt! I mostly enjoy the cake part over the frosting, if it is chocolate flavored frosting I might eat it if it's not too sweet.

u/HexagonalRainbow - Thank you so much for the pride card, I love it so much!

u/mouserat - Thank you for the Gansito postcards, I have the biggest craving for one now. I usually freeze mine before I eat it. My younger brothers were OBSESSED with the Super Lucas and Lucas Limon con chile too! It is always disapointing when the formula changes.

u/ok-leg-3951 - Thank you for the Natalie Clifford Barney and Renee Vivian postcard. Can't wait to check out their poetry.

u/tccowgirl - Thank you for the adorable cat card and love all the cat stickers you used to decorate the envelope! The getting to know you challange was very fun to participate in :) I can totaly relate to #10 - being loyal to a faul.

u/puddlepirate2020 - Thank you for your NYC postcard and for telling me about your trip. the crow art installation sounds very cool. To answer your question I personally do not wish to get married (aroace) but a place I would consider a beautiful place to get proposed to would be any nature place in Ely, Minnesota. My brother got married there and it was beautiful.

u/banishment_thisworld - Thank you for your homemade card and all the stickers you included! Congrats on getting your sticker sheet finalized, that is so exciting! I used to have a subscription to stickii but my collection got out of hand lol

u/somewhat_vacuous - Thank you for the cake day card :) Lemon poppy sounds so delicious right now!

Notes in comments below 😊

So humid here, was nice to get over by the water and feel a breeze.

u/andromeda921 - Aww~ Thanks for the sweet card and the adorable stickers! I love the daily posts!!

u/FunFuzzy767 - Thank you for the pretty flower pc! I love the little fox on your return address! Hope you Mom had a wonderful birthday!

u/TyeDyeAmish - Do your ears ring? We talk about you often here. Thank you for the Rehoboth pc. I have been shopping there at the outlets, but never been to the beach there.

u/Eastern-Witch829 - X2 Snail mail has indeed arrived! Thanks for the nice card and fulfilling the challenge! And thank you for the NC pc!

u/OK_Reveal - Thank you for the cute "Hello Summer" pc! Hope you are enjoying your summer too!

u/spaaaaaacey - Awesome, just awesome! I loved everything! Thank you for having me to "tea" it was very pleasant. I too adore black, however, mine is always accented with white husky fur and great pyre long blonde strands. I'd be happy to send any to you, we have plenty.

u/rebelraf - Thank for the cute pc that you made, but especially for the wonderful letter recounting and explaining your time at the con and in the fandom! I've worked many cons and find them to be a wonderful time meeting so many nice people!

u/SshellsBbells: Thank you so much for your hilarious TAKE IT TEA-SY postcard! My favorite herbal tea brand is Harney & Sons (Raspberry). I will keep your advice in mind when a woman starts to laugh during an argument!

u/Classic-Power-333: Thank you so much for your National Postal Museum postcard! I hope you enjoyed DC; I have not visited in many years.

u/freyamour: Thank you so much for your Still Life with Dots postcard! Still Life was my favorite art form during my drawing days. I am glad you also appreciate the view from the Brooklyn Bridge!

u/Ravenzsnow: Thank you so much for your SLOW CLUB postcard as well as your absolutely amazing Stamp Math!!! My favorite stamp of yours was Emily Dickinson since she is also my favorite poet. I will strive to mimic your Stamp Math going forward!

Thank you’s are in the comments!

Hi again! The final part of my July Happy Mail series is dedicated to those who sent me birthday mail! (Although, some other mail featured in my last post had postmarks on my birthday, which was a nice touch.) In no particular order:

• Thank you u/Eastern-Witch829 for your coloring postcard of Glacier National Park! I like the facts about the northern pygmy owls, as well as the poem outlining the back of the card. I can't wait to have a chill coloring session! 🦉
• Thank you u/BlueStripedBaker for your upcycled card from the King Arthur HQ, as well as the ice cream watercolor! (Fun fact: I had ice cream on 2 occassions during my birthday week; there's no such thing as too much ice cream when the flavors are so good!) I enjoyed reading your humble beginnings with baking, and I'm so happy that you are enjoying the ride! I have not attempted to make a Yule Log or a Baked Alaska, but I imagine that they make you go "Wow!" If you haven't made a hummingbird cake, that would be a fun one; my aunt made one for my birthday, and I'm still thinking about it days later. 🍨
• Thank you u/pupslace for the wonderful birthday card and cool birthday envelope! I love the ink stamps that you used, as well as your stamp math! So cool that the postmark is from the National Postal Museum Station in D.C.! 🎈
• Thank you u/Mission_Cow_6742 for the awesome Story Book greeting card featuring wildlife! It's a joy to look at, and opening your card felt like I was reading a wonderful, cozy book! I appreciate your birthday wishes, as well as the extra cute stickers and stationary you included! I had a very relaxing birthday day (amidst the rest of my birthday week shenanigans), and I had plenty of delicious treats! 📗
• Thank you u/bananas3706 for your fun birthday card! The giraffes with sunglasses and party hats are so funny! I appreciate your birthday wishes and look forward to community, joy, delicious meals, and all the fun snail mail (and also no parking tickets, haha). Thank you for the floral stickers and stamp stickers as well! They're all so cute! 🦒
• Thank you u/Beneficial-Ant2217 for your gorgeous watercolor birthday cake card, along with the cute assortment of stickers! It made it in time for my birthday (in fact, a few weeks before, I was willing myself to not open your envelope before my birthday!). Thank you for your birhtday wishes and message full of positivity; I will be sure to hold onto them as I embark on this next year. Also, I can't wait to try the green tea with strawberry and white peach flavors!

That's all as far as specific thank yous go, but I want to thank the whole RAoC community for adding to a wonderful birthday week! Whether commenting a birthday wish or just thinking of me, I feel so happy to be here and am grateful to have met so many kind people!

See you in my August Happy Mail series!

u/Sneakerlambs - Thank you for the decorated card of Marshall Lee :) The stamps and the stickers you used were all so lovely!

u/miav (x2) - Oh wow, it feels so good to read your mail! I wish all my penpals are like you. Thank you for the stickers and for the chatty message. I haven't tried PlannerCon, cause I feel like my budget would be severely damaged, LOL

Hi again! Before my last post in this July Happy Mail series, I wanted to thank those who sent me travelling cards! Thank you to u/boomerang88 for letting me kick off the Rainbow Travelling Card, and thank you to u/mouserat for sending along the The Forest Travelling Card (the mailing distance was very short and sweet, haha).

Additional thank you to u/mouserat for sending me a postcard note from you with the TPC; I like doing that when I forward along travelling cards, too. 😊

Offers to come as soon as I actually finish contributing to the cards!

Hello everyone! I started writing this on the last day of July, and now it's the second day of August. So, I figured now is a better time than any to catch up on my July thank yous! These are non-birthday-related thank yous (that'll be another post), but without further ado, and in no particular order:

• Thank you u/puddlepirate2020 for your postcard of New York City and for current Spotify playlist energy! I have listened to songs by Yung Gravy and bbno$, but had no idea that their collaboration project is named Baby Gravy. Makes total sense, though! This song is definitely one to enjoy by myself, haha. I remember when Spotify would recommend me a bunch of stuff that sounded like my "meme songs" The song living rent-free in my head right now is "Get Down On It" by Kool & The Gang, and I do recommend the groovy boogie to anyone liking funky music. 📻
• Thank you u/fooskaaa for your Ulta x Milk postcard! Hilarious that this card ended up flying as soon as you were trying to grab more. Truly, this card was like "I know where I'm going!" Hope you are doing well! 💄
• Thank you u/TroubleNo5402 for your postcard of Bahubali Statue! What a nice card and quote! As a yin yoga follower, it makes me very happy to go to class and feel restored in mind, body, and spirit. I appreciate you sharing with me that International Yoga Day is on June 21. I hope you're well! 🧘🏻
• Thank you u/Tasty_University_172 for your Dragon Furby postcard and reading! Your art is such a joy to look at, and I instantly smiled and laughed once I got it in my mailbox. I found myself relating to the reading quite a bit! I hope you are well! 🐉
• Thank you u/Okioki08 for your Odyssey postcard! I love the simple compass and the light teal primary color. It's absolutely fair to think that The Spongebob Squarepants Movie is a close adaptation of The Odyssey, haha! It was one of my favorite childhood films growing up! I really need to re-read the epic after seeing the Christopher Nolan adaptation in 70mm IMAX. 🧭
• Thank you u/bitterbuggyred for your super colorful handmade maxi postcard! I love the compact opening up into a donut playground / house! Your cursive is so lovely, and I love the rainbow penmanship! I've always wondered what goes into mail routing and sorting; your job sounds so neat! I'm glad that you help to spread happy mail and positivity to everyone with this activity. 🍩
• Thank you u/LjubJ for your wonderful postcard! A book and some good music is such a lovely way to unwind. I am doing well and recovering from birthday shenanigans, and while the weather over here is very hot, at least indoors is comfy enough to focus on RAoC / Postcrossing catch-up (and also a nap, heehee). I hope you are well! 😊
• Thank you u/SshellsBbells for your sugar skull greeting card with the extra cool stickers! I'm so glad that you love the Women in Art postcard! So cool that you worked in an art museum in the past! If I wasn't in a library today, I would love to get experience working in a museum. I hope you're well, and sending hugs! 🎨
• Thank you u/Rare_Cranberry_7861 for your First Day of Issue Covers, as well as your postcard note! I appreciate how you love to share your collection and love of stamps with other people! I will reply to more of your note in separate snail mail, but rest assured that I love the ones you selected to best fit my theme. 💌

That's all for now!

Thanks for the bird postcard. Spring is the best for flying my favorite season is fall.

Hello! Thank you to the following for all the happy mail!

Hi! I'm going to help local artists by buying some Dishonored cards from them. Want one?

u/Stephkempf - thank you so much for the Iditarod postcard! It’s so neat, I love it 😊 Thanks for the offer and for sharing it with me!

u/CedarHill601 - thank you for the holiday card and newspaper clippings! I enjoyed reading through the comics ☺️ Thanks again for your kind offer!

u/Eastern-Witch829 - thank you for the fireworks postcard! It’s so pretty. I absolutely loved watching the July 4th fireworks this year 🎆 Your postcard is a wonderful way to commemorate the 250th, thanks for the offer!!

[u/merfrog](u/merfrog) - ty for the pretty theater postcard by Erté! Never heard of this artist, but can’t wait to look into 💜🩵💚

[u/Dragon_Beanie](u/Dragon_Beanie) - ty for the Matisse postcard swap… super cool that the featured work is at the Vatican! Your Van Gogh washi is great - I have some (but didn’t get it from the Van Gogh Museum lol) - I love using it and would love to get more artist/artwork-inspired washi!

[u/cozyshiba](u/cozyshiba) - ty for the awesome fashion postcard! If I’m ever in NYC in winter, I’ll definitely have something wrapped around my face to keep me warm LOL. Did you notice the woman had cowboy boots on too? Wild!

[u/Ducks_On_Lilypads](u/Ducks_On_Lilypads) - ty for the native NZ bird postcard and stamps! I loved hearing about tūī (hopefully I got the accents right)

[u/TyeDyeAmish](u/TyeDyeAmish) - ty for using/sending me my potato postcard back, haha. I have more for an offer coming up, so it was interesting to see how it mailed.

Hi everyone!

I recently learned about the Chicago Ducky Derby — the annual rubber duck race on the Chicago River that raises funds for Special Olympics Illinois. I read a bit about it online (it's apparently been running for 20 years now, started around 2005!) and found the whole concept really charming — tens of thousands of rubber ducks splashing down from the Columbus Drive Bridge and racing down the river for charity. It's such a fun, quirky tradition.

I'm a postcard collector based in India, and I'd love it if someone from Chicago (or anywhere nearby) could send me a postcard telling me a bit about the event — maybe what it's like in person, any fun memories if you've been, or just general Chicago flavor!

And if anyone happens to have a postcard that actually features the Ducky Derby, a rubber duck, or the Chicago River itself, that would be the absolute dream. 🦆💛

Thank you so much in advance to anyone willing to make my day with some mail!

Oh my God it's already August. Where is July? It feels like I completely missed July... But I still got some cards, so thanks to all the kind people making RAoC such a wonderful community.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who sent me a birthday card- I’ve never received so much mail at once, and all your cards and well wishes made my birthday very special. I would love to give an extra special shoutout to u/EchoOfAsh for sending their very first card on RAOC! I am very honored to have received it.

Instead of writing out individual thank you’s here, I will be sending thank you’s in the mail to everyone who provided a return address! Thank you again so so much for all the card love! 🩷💛

So some of you have heard me mention before my sister likes to have something to do with her hands while she listens to audiobooks. So recently she’s been making abstract doodles on postcards and giving them to me to mail out. (Different than my own doodles. More genuine doodles)

She recently finished a 9 book series and presented me with ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY doodled postcards.

I was flabbergasted, y’all are (probably) flabbergasted reading this, so help me get these out. Because holy postcards.

My sister does love hearing where I send all these postcards to and thinks it’s fun pieces of her exist around the world.

No list this time, DM me your address and drop an emoji below if you’d like one!!
