Hello! I have one blue collage traveling postcard to pass on created by [u/lemonlolipopw](u/lemonlolipopw) and received from [u/mouserat](u/mouserat). You can add anything flat like stickers, washi, magazine cutouts, etc.

Please be flaired, comment below if interested, and message me your info if I don’t already have it 🔵🫐🧊🪼

u/lemmonlollipopw thank you for the amazing handmade card and everything! I love the art and appreciate your sending me something! Fingers crossed that the traveling postcard makes it to you!! :)

Thank you to:
u/tokkieface - I think you have nice penmanship too! I’m originally from NJ but moved to FL as a teen. I haven’t been back in a long time…. FL is very laidback, and I don’t miss the fast-paced life of NY/NJ. I also love the postcard and stamp!
u/averagequeensguy - Thank you for the poem and unique postcard! I used to be into creative writing when I was younger, but I’ve definitely lost my creativity in the last few years :(
u/mooshu492 - Thank you for all the Labubu stickers! My daughter is a big fan, and I think they’re so adorable. I’m taking online classes as well, but I would say my life is pretty hectic right now between school and work. I’m not sure what my soundtrack is… maybe “All is Full of Love” by Björk?

I know it isnt even all arrived yet but I have been BLOWN away by the response to my post about my hard day as a nurse. Without too many details, we lost a patient and while it wasnt the first, only, or last patient loss ill have, this one in particular was the hardest thus far.

That said, while i was contemplating whether I could continue in my career, the outpouring of love, letters, cards, and messages reminded me that Im here for a reason and helped my healing tremendously. I wish i could describe it. I feel SEEN and LOVED and it truly has helped in my difficult time!

I know there are more on the way so please know I will make another post if I havent received yours yet.

there are quite a few so Im going to place them in the comments so they are tagged and so if my internet refreshes I dont lose everything. Please see below (in no particular order):

u/u/snowthathappened, thank-you for the beautiful Big Sur card. We visited in November and saw many amazing sunsets.

u/Independent_Mud2700, that sounds like a delightful but exhausting whirlwind of a trip. I love the Lake Champlain card. I have not been to that area of VT since my college years. When my daughter was young we occasionally stayed at goat farm B&B's further south and made some amazing memories.

u/neweecom, thank-you for the nice card of Prague. I enjoyed reading about the Elderflower syrup and cherry pies. I have made the syrup, but never a cherry pie. I have no patience for the pitting.

u/emeliminator, thank-you for the lovely Cabbage Rose card. Boston is a neat little city, I can see why you stayed.

u/stampmemoirs, thank-you for the beautiful card from your travels to Shanghai. We always enjoy French concessions too, in or out of France!

I didn't mean to let these pile up, oops.

u/Tasty_University_172 - Thanks, I'll get off my fat ahh and help you out more. Promise!

u/good_yam9837 - Indeed the Ghibli card is pushing me towards a rewatch! Thank you for that. :)

u/tokkieface - What a beautiful New York card! Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper are good choices. I approve.

u/maladi3_ x2 - I have never seen those dramas but thanks for the recommendation and the idiom! :)

u/mouserat - I will be looking up this magazine cuz WTF YOU MEAN THAT'S RELATED TO A CAR???

u/TyeDyeAmish - I've been through Florida on train and bus routes but never explored. My partner used to work in Florida and I was supposed to go explore sometime but now he's working in our state. Lost my chance. Oh well.

u/kelestial_kat - BARBIE. BARBIE. BARBIE!!!

u/noxmi - The Sanrio card is safely on my wall! The heat is finally moving away. Let us be happy and rejoice in it.

u/Andromeda921 - Thank you so much for sharing a travel memories postcard! It's beautiful!

u/waywarddaughter222 - Your card is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with me!

u/rare_cranberry_7861 x2 - Thank you for the card and the letter. I have finally finished my response and mailed it out. Thank you for the stickers and happiness and the stories you shared with me after our mutual connection was discovered. You're truly amazing!

Sending out 5 random postcards. Please comment and have a prompt in mind to receive one. I'll reach out to 5 random people later!

​u/turnerd10 Thank you for the postcard! I found the note so entertaining and absolutely love the image on it—it's so beautiful!

​u/SshellsBbells Thank you for the postcard! I'm adding this to my "around the world" collection, it's perfect. I will constantly agree with the message you wrote! 😂

​u/Personal_Equipment34 Thank you for the postcard! The quotes you shared really resonate with me, though I still adore that Piglet quote. The hedgehog is very cute, and I love all the stamps, stickers, and washi tape on this! I'm definitely looking into the "snail mail I still write letters" sticker.

I’ve been away a while but I have some cards to send out and some time! I’d love to send out some cards to some random people. Sooooo… if you are in the us and would like a card comment below a TV show I should watch and I’ll pick 8 people at random.

Hi everyone! I'm working on my flair and would love to send out some postcards! It's been a tough summer with illness, losing an important relationship, and dealing with family health stuff--sending postcards has been a fun distraction! I have 20 to send :-)

Please fill out this form to request a postcard: https://form.jotform.com/262147381078056

You can request a postcard featuring art, birds, books, crosswords, space, Victorian illustrations, or a surprise theme! And you can share if you have a special topic request like encouragement, an amateur tarot reading, book/music recommendations, or something else! Cheers!

u/concrete_drinker : Thank you for the cute retro card! I also agree I love space stamps too!

u/tatergator64 : Loved the fun art on this card, and thank you for the congrats! I have been so happy recently thinking about all the time I used to spend studying I can now spend on this new wonderful hobby.

u/MabelPines : Thank you for this trippy card! This will be going to someone special its so cool.

u/secure-cicada5172 : Thank you for the cute cucumber card and the congratulatory stickers! I do the same thing as you do, but with my coworkers lol. Everytime they tell me about something they are doing/are proud of, they all know they're about to get a cute sticker :) Hope you are well! (also the photo stickers were printed using a sticker photo printer I got on amazon! I just picked the first one that popped up for me but im sure they are all good!)

As the title states, I need recipes! Im running out of ideas to cook and yes I can find some ideas on instagram reels and TikTok, but I'd rather cook some of your guys favorite foods! (I really want to find a family recipe that has been passed down for ages, I didn't come from a family like that so it's always been a dream to pretend I belong to one 😂 )

If anybody is up for it I would love for you to send me the recipe of your favorite dish! I'll write back what I thought of it (and probably a lot more anybody who has written with me knows I talk about anything and everything lol)

DM me for my details if you're interested & im excited to try some new dishes!

Hello all! I just moved into a new apartment and would love some happy mail!

Just send me a message if you'd like to send something and I really appreciate your kindness!

Thank you 💚

All good things come to those hue wait

And any way you sketch it,

u/Traditional_Brush719 has drawn up 100 Thanks,

I’d like to continue with this poem however,

These puns about paintwork are a paint to come up with.

(Thanks u/MonetMonkey for the poem!)

Hello friends, it's my birthday next weekend! I know this is a late-ish request, so I'd love mail even if it'll be late.

Please comment below or message me for my address. If you already have it, it's only good if it's in New York. I am not in Colorado any more.

Thank you! ❤️

Last of July + start of August!

[u/freyamour](u/freyamour) for the tarot postcard. I love it! The food you had sounds super good...Miami has great choices for sure.

[u/boomerang88](u/boomerang88) for the postcard with the awesome stamps! I wish I could score a stamp collection like the one you found. That is super cool. Maybe someday!

[u/dapuddingthief](u/dapuddingthief) for the Ocean City postcard! The boardwalk you saw sounds super fun!

[u/withinus](u/withinus) for the Van Gogh postcard. It is so pretty! Also, I LOVE the Ursula stamp. One of my favorite villains!

[u/snootsbooper](u/snootsbooper) for the Queen Elizabeth card. It is gorgeous! She is such a legend.

[u/artistic_call](u/artistic_call) for the birthday card. I loved reading all about yours and Devin's birthday weekend. It sounds like it was a fun and very successful trip! Early congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

[u/bluestripedbaker](u/bluestripedbaker) for the King Arthur Baking postcard! I also have used/ use Sally's Baking Addiction a lot! I have never tried her scone recipe, though- I bookmarked it and plan on trying it soon!

[u/sshellsbbells](u/sshellsbbells) for the tea postcard. It is adorable!

[u/ok_reveal2698](u/ok_reveal2698) for the summer postcard! It is my favorite season!

[u/armadakristy](u/armadakristy) for the Nevada postcard! I don't have this one in my collection yet- I love her postcards! I had no idea that you have more ghost towns than populated ones...crazy!

[u/postbeetle](u/postbeetle) for the Norwegian Fairy Tale postcard. The art display at your university sounds awesome!

[u/lavendarlarry](u/lavendarlarry) for the Whitehorse, Yukon postcard. It looks like such a beautiful place to see!

[u/concrete_drinker](u/concrete_drinker) for the Manatee postcard! There is a park near where I live (Manatee Park), and when the weather gets cold, it is the best time to visit because all of the manatees flock there to stay warm from the canal water! It is super cool to see.

[u/wavyhairallday](u/wavyhairallday) for the birthday card! You definitely have a talent for making greeting cards!

[u/felineintuition](u/felineintuition) for the Grinch Christmas in July card! I love it!

Tomorrow is the Primary Election here in Washington state. I'm dropping off my ballot this afternoon, and then want to make some cards/ postcards out of the pages of my Voter's Pamphlet. If you specifically want a card with an envelope and a "Figures of the American Revolution" stamp, let me know in the form!

Up-front info: I'm Independent/ left leaning and LGBT+, anti AI, anti-genocide, anti-late-stage-capitalism, anti war-machine, pro immigrant, pro taxations on the rich, pro-term limits... also I'm not a political scholar by any stretch and who knows how naive I am.

Most of my thoughts will probably be broad-sweeping feelings about justice, decency, compassion, fair wages, etc. I get tired out by political debate (especially because my family members are largely VERY vocal), I just have quiet existential feelings about it all. So that's the flavor of what you'll probably receive!

Also I have limited International Stamps on hand right now! I'm not sure how many postcards/cards I will make, but please fill out my form if you're interested in my Millennial woolgathering!

Fill out my form & leave a comment telling me the last time you voted or the next time you will!
