[Thank You] From the past week

Your cards are going out tomorrow, they're in the mailbox! I got kinda sidetracked when getting to writing the cards. But I did receive a few postcards in return already and really really appreciate the mail!

u/keqani - Love the dramatic postcard and then all the cutesy stickers on the back lol! Thank you so much! Does anyone actually get paid enough to deal with customers? lol

u/rand_ston - Thank you so so much for this sweet dragonfly postcard! And the sticker on the back is so Spring-y! Hope you enjoy your card when it gets to you :D

u/littlemermaidxx - I'm in love with this card. Lately I've been decorating my desk space with not just art and my cross stitch, but also some cards I've received over the years that I think would look good. This card is probably gonna go up soon! :D Hope you enjoy your card when it gets to you! I was inspired by your username :P

[Thank You] To a lot of awesome people!

u/slobber_bones Thanks! I Love Cezanne, btw, but as you said, art postcards are the best! Its like collecting little pieces of real art.

u/Elley_bean Thanks for the Mount Rushmore postcard. I do love mancala! And its close relative: Oware or "Wari"... I usually play it in playok.com , maybe we can meet each other there :)

u/Seaofstars Im astonished... your reading was very accurate... at first I read it and said "mmmh... more or less..." but later on, I have to admit that was 85% accurate, or even a little more than that... Your card, and your envelope... it was a truly magic experience, I swear. Thanks again.

u/stillsheryl your card is AWESOME, I have it hanged on my fridge´s door with magnets. I really love vintage and classic computers. And send my regards there! Long live ham radio!

u/sufficient_letter883 Your postcard is really interesting... Blackbeard! I hope weather treats you well :) Here there were a lot of floods recently, but nothing that we could´t resist. Ocracoke island seems cool in that pic.

u/pinkpengin Your wyoming postcard (and every sticker/poststamp you attached in its back) is a delight. Thanks!!

u/inconsolableonion Very funny candy postcard!! :D i didnt know about that game, I must confess I only play retro games (from the eighties, nineties... of course a couple from the 2000s...) but of course I usually play FIFA in the XBox/PS of some friends. Thanks!

u/melhen16 Awesome!!! My granma used to have a "land" turtle... of course, it isnt the same haha... Liked the aquatic theme. Very nice sea turtles postcard overall, thanks! :)

Thanks a lot!!!
