u/dropofpoison86 Thanks so much for the Sunset Crater National Monument postcard!! Perfect for the word/prompt :) The bear stickers are so cute and I LOVE bears so they made me smile :)
u/rand_ston Thanks for the Cosmos postcard!! I love the stickers nd washi tape you decorated it with :)
u/BethyW Thank you for the Orlando card!! I've been to Florida a lot, but never Orlando. Very pretty card and the alligator stamp/message was so funny and cute. :) I had never heard of Fury of Dracula before!!
u/Jdoodle7 Thanks for the fall/Thanksgiving card!! I get your point with the message on the card, haha :) Glad I could take it off your hands. Loved the pretty washi!! I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving too! You have great handwriting!! Jealous :)
u/Starflier55 Thanks for the deer holiday card! I never played Life much, candyland was my fave as a kid (the newer version has so much less character!!) and Clue when I got a little older. So sweet to include extra postcards for me to send out to others :) You have gorgeous handwriting as well!
u/birdiebennett Thank you for the snail mail (literally!) card :) The little traveling gnome stickers are so cute !! I hope you've been enjoying your scary movies :) Maybe check out Hysteria! on Peacock if you haven't, it's a show not a movie but fits the vibe well. Ooh, or From!
u/RhapsodyTravelr Thank you for the beautifully decorated moon phase card - truly decorated like a lil work of art :) The pear and walnut salad with feta reminds me of a pasta dish with a similar profile my mom and I love from a recipe book we picked up randomly at a little free library :) Such a delicious pairing! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving too!
u/Party_Activity6539 Thank you so much for the Joshua Tree ape card!! It made me laugh out loud when I got it and I love the silly little blurb included on the back. What a great card :) I wish you luck on your no smoking journey <3
u/jdhamster - Thank you for the cute card and the dad jokes! One of the dad jokes that you sent is my husband’s all-time favorite. Also, your return address label is so cute!
u/jdoodle7 - Thank you for the beautiful Christmas card! Your handwriting is so pretty and I love your stamp!
Today I went to visit the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. I probably should have learned more than I did while there, but I was looking at everything & taking it all in. Its the largest privately owned house in the US & was opened in 1895 (but by George Vanderbilt's money).
Anyways to celebrate the holidays, I bought these holiday filled Biltmore postcards to send to 8 people. If you'd like to receive one just comment below with a trip you've taken this year (that you enjoyed). I'll get in contact with everyone to get a postcard.
You are all so generous! I can’t thank you enough for the lovely holidays cards, goodies, stamps, and even beautiful envelopes! Wishing you a very happy holiday - my cards will be out to you soon!
u/snoohabits2586 I love dogs and lights with hot chocolate too!!

u/Tccowgirl for the Veronica Lake postcard. I love random postcards :) I'm glad your jury duty day went well. If I was ever called, I'd hope to be chosen!
For the past few days, i’ve been writing random cards with no recipients. The cards range from what’s going on in my life, conspiracy theories I’ve heard and my thoughts on them, things I’m trying to learn and random facts I find interesting!
I’m not entirely sure why I did it, but now I have cards that need to be sent!
I am also open to writing more cards if more people are interested!
Hi all! I have accumulated a few creepmas related cards/postcards and was wondering if anyone would like to exchange for something similar? Looking to exchange with up to three people in the US for now, but may expand my search to WW. Comment and shoot me a chat if you're interested! 🖤🎄
Hey! I would love to get some more Hanukkah cards. I’ve gotten a few so far & am waiting on a few in the mail and they’re special to me. But this is specifically for Hanukkah cards / pro Israel / Jewish cards in general. Basically if the card has Judaica on it it’s special to me, throw happy Hanukkah on it & I’ll be forever grateful. When I was growing up I had no family so no one sent me Hanukkah cards or celebrated it with me except my parents. Now that I’m older I’d like just once to not feel like a minority & have my holiday recognized & not forgotten about. Well, I would prefer that it would be forgotten about by the rising number of antisemitic individuals. While obvisouly many holidays are celebrated this time of the year I want to feel extra special for mine. I suffer from loads of FOMO & frankly depression that my holiday has always been afterthought in the lives of everyone I met. I live in a heavily Christian area where people don’t even consider that Jews exist.
Make this Jew’s life a little more special this upcoming month.
If you need my address let me know.
u/lavishlilacs thank you for the heartfelt college graduation card!! It’s nice to hear from someone who’s able to relate :•) take care!

Howdy y'all I got this really cool typography postcard set - and after giving priority to my mailing list (that I have neglected all year I'm so sorry :((( ) I'm offering to send out the remaining ones.
How I would like this to work - do not claim a letter if you don't have that initial I think it's just more cool and personal if you can get that. If there isn't a letter available that matches yours, there are a lot of misc designs from this set so you still get the chance to get a postcard!
How to claim:
At the current time we have been made aware that the USPS will not send anything to Canada so I will remove your response if you attempt to claim.
2. Fill out that form. It SHOULD remove letter options as they're claimed with how I set it up.
Hi guys! It’s my first post and I tried to create a form for you to use. I can send about 5 postcards. Please let me know if you would like city view postcards because I like to send them. I could not find out how to change the last page of the form so feel free to message me if you want to send one in return
Edit: Germany to worldwide
Hello!! I am currently visiting central California. Would anyone like any post cards from here?! They’ve got cool Big Sur post cards and central coast, CA.

Hi Everyone!
Since I tend to become a shut-in/hermit/blob during the winter months... I am updating my mailing list of randomness for you to join. You will probably get a card this winter, sometime, after the Canada Post strike ends... about something and hopefully you like it.
I have also included my address at the end of the form if you would like to send me a card, I will always post a thank you...even if it takes me some time anything is always greatly appreciated.
Hello there my lovely RAoC family!
I've had lots of things changing in the last few weeks, long days, lots to do and not much free time in between. I'm sorry if I'm being kinda behind, but please be reassured that I won't skip saying thanks no matter what - it just might take me some time with my 'new every day life'.
Thank you all for your patience and don't forget that I love and appreciate every single one of you!! 🖤✨
also. I tried posting a few times but Reddit crashed every time, so I won't be able to do individual thanks today.
