My best friend in the whole world is feeling really down and struggling and I want to cheer him up!

If you PM me, I will give you my info, but I want to deliver him something to cheer him up next time I see him :)

u/ljsweenes - Thank you for the Intercourse, PA postcard! Fun fact: my school district growing up did a trip from the west coast to Washington D.C. and some surrounding states for 8th graders every year - I went on my year's trip and part of the itinerary was to go to an Amish town, and this is the one they took us through! Nothing like being on a bus with a bunch of 13 y/o's giggling at the name as we arrived!
u/mlks00 thank you for the tag card and shiny stickers! ✨ 💖 It seems like everything is blooming here (yay..... seasonal allergies 🤧) but today felt almost cold! I'm in a 4 seasons state.... sometimes we have all 4 in the same day 😂
u/ostrich-party- thank you for the beautiful card and so so many cat stickers 🐈 🧡 (I love cats so much!) And your jokes were great!
u/TigerLady13 thank you for the pretty Easter card and fun stickers 💙 We had a big family dinner for Easter. Hope you enjoyed your day of peace and quiet! I'm looking forward to having one of those soon,.I hope 😂
u/feellikebeingajerk thank you for the hilarious brick wall card 🧱 sounds pretty accurate 😂 I loved all the stickers (especially the hippo lol) Hope your appointment went well!
Cleaning up and found some random cards. There's a little of everything. I do recycle cards (and stickers) that people send me by sending them to other people, so if you end up with something you've sent me before - I'm sorry.
If you would like a random piece of mail, please fill out the form here.
Thank you to the following that sent me happy mail, some expected, some just happy mail, that indeed made me happy:
u/comingtogetyoubabs thank you for the awesome New Year postcard, yes it took that long to get to me!! Hope you are having an amazing year so far
u/DoraDoodle thank you for the thank you mini card, love the travel theme card. I always have travel plans for the summer, well from April to Nov really, my username checks out. This month I already went to GA, and will be going to VA and to a lake house too. Thanks for the cute cat stickers.
u/feellikebeingajerk thanks for postcard with your mindfulness answer. My daughter feels much like you, although more about me now that I have past 60.....thanks for sharing
u/grasshopper2231 thank you for the Oregano Gansta postcard. oooh Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival sounds amazing!! Glad you had a wonderful time!
u/Jdoodle7 you always find the coolest things to make cards out of, love the flower truck 3D sticker. Did you end up seeing the eclipse at all? I will send you pics of what we saw :) I found your thoughts on UFOs interesting, will send you mine soon.
u/latestartksmama thank you for the cute thank you card, glad you liked the Easter Card I sent you. Thanks too for the variety of stickers
u/ljsweenes thank you for the pyramid postcard, love exchanging postcards, Egypt is a place I would love to see but don't know if I will ever go
u/mumbagoespainting thank you for this collage card, so glad my empowerment challenge card finally got to you! I have put through change of address too many times to count and have never been told it would be delayed - I find that odd. Please can you PM me your new address? Your return address is smudged on the envelope and I don't want to guess.
u/ninajyang thanks so much for the Northern Eclipse Postcard, I went with my son and husband up to outside Dayton at the Air Force Museum. I was very surprised they weren't selling postcard there. But we did get Christmas ornaments to commemorate the occasion. We had a great showing of it!
u/tigerlady13 thank you for the pretty floral thank you card. I have to agree, Roswell is a "pretty goofy town" we had a lot of fun as we didn't take anything seriously. I was happy to make a special 6K for you, not many are able to reach such a lofty level and you most certainly deserved something to commemorate the occasion. You work too much, 70 hours is crazy. Hope you take some time for yourself.
u/tiredpanyhose thanks for your response to the mindfulness question, loved your answer to when you realize you are turning into your mother, I Definitely got a good chuckle. It happens too often the older I get...
u/zenshark thank you for the raspberrypaper Spring postcard. I will answer your questions in a card soon-ish :)
It took a while, but here it is! I'd like to thank these wonderful people:
u/caknuck - I love these constellations! Thank you so much, I hope your vacation was great!
u/lemony_sneaker_0102 - Your kid's sketch is stunning! Thank you so much for the card and I love all the info. Don't worry about being a History geek, I really like the trivia hahaha.
I haven't send out any cards in.... A year? And I need motivation to clear off my desk, so I might as well do that by obligating myself to send mail! I think I have 9 or 10 stamps I can use- as for the prompt, you can either request what you'd like me to do (poetry, song recs, photo dump, long rant about how much I hate my job /jjjj, etc) or leave it up to fate (I will not subject you to my work drama if left up to fate lmao) Please be in the US!
Hi hi.
Requirements to claim this card:
Have a birthday IN MAY. (Tell me when it is. Maybe we're twins :D)
Be OK with being called a "special princess" (it's on the card. Don't look at me like that). I don't care if you're a man or non binary, if you are OK with being called a princess by the card, feel free to claim.
Give me a prompt to write about.
u/floofysuggestions thank you for the beautiful card of Multnomah Falls and for the song recs

u/boomer1717 thank you for the cute dog postcard from your stash
u/tyedyeamish thank you for the vintage market postcard
Hello everyone! Mother’s Day is coming up and it’s a bittersweet holiday for me. Over the course of these past 4 years I’ve had multiple pregnancy losses with no living children and it has been extremely hard to deal with the losses. Although there is a lot of hope this year due to working with a fantastic doctor, it’s going to be a lonely day for me. So any cards for this day would be so appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Thank you for the bright and happy postcard and I love the cute teddy on your reply sticker! I hope you get to visit Australia one day, we're a welcoming bunch :)
