Lastly I will say that someone gave me a beautiful sheet of sparkly pink flower stickers but they fell out when I was organizing and I don’t know who gave them to me! I want whoever gave them to know that I like them very much!
Thank you all so much for the amazing mail! I am having a rough week due to having to temporarily move out of my home due to unsafe radon levels (over 120) and testing 😷 So this mail has really made me happy! If you live in an area with high radon, consider getting your levels tested!

u/wiifitboard Thank you for the spirited away postcard! I especially love the stamps you used as well! Hope you’re staying warm where you are!
u/CaptivatingApple Thank you for the gates of the Arctic postcard! I love it! It is certainly on my bucket list for national parks. Alaska is a beautiful place! I also love the stamps you used!
u/thecaledonianrose Thank you for the lovely mushroom postcard and for telling me about the Blue Ridge Parkway, it sounds like an ideal place to live and a lovely location for a trip!
u/melhen16 I love the beautiful trumpeter swan card and the super interesting facts about the birds. So interesting! I also love the stamps you used! Thank you
u/followingthebeat I love this card, it is super unique! I also love the cute stickers you used of the pool and sunglasses. 🕶️
u/theisleofmanydreams I love the bird card, thank you for thinking of me! I also adore the stamps-looking tape you used, that is just perfect!! I also love the tea stamp you used!
u/travelforme Thank you so much for the beautiful panda card! I also love watching them play and eat bamboo and raise their adorable babies.
1 unknown card! A beautiful vintage style postcard with a swallowtail butterfly and flowers written on with pink ink. A heart shaped forever stamp. If this was you, please let me know so I can give you credit!
I recently posted a request for Groundhog Day cards, you didn't disappoint - https://imgur.com/a/CUtsJGS
Unfortunately according to the famous groundhog there is to be 6 more weeks of winter!
Thank you to these three amazing people that chose to do some artwork for the card!!
u/nothankyou928 Thank you so much for sharing your artwork talents with me, I love the "I'm a Rodent Not a Meteorologist" card, too funny.
u/roxy031 Thank you for this awesome and hilarious card, and no the shadow doesn't make your butt look fat, you apparently need the fat for another 6 weeks of winter!
u/UngodlySockMonster thank you for the groundhog day card, I love it! I am glad to hear my frog card is being enjoyed, I will be putting this card up on my bulletin board to display at least until Spring has Sprung.
u/BATTLE_METAL - thank you for the bookish post card, I will have to look Moon of the Crusted Snow up as it sounds like something I would enjoy reading.
u/iambaby1989 - thank you so much for my messy valentine! Also it totally makes me smile that your address label matches the post card you sent me a few months ago.
u/CSWL (x3) - I am totally the same with professional photos! We took so many photos when I was growing up but never went and hand someone take them for us. It’s sad that the thrift store no longer has greeting cards for you to find. The resolution card makes me smile, I love all the “vices” in the front. I too like the idea of resolutions but I don’t make them. For me I can make a goal at anytime of year and there is some weird pressure people put on others about keeping new year resolutions and not keeping them and whatnot.
I have two black and white photography vintage postcards from Germany (1x Laufenburg a.Rhein, 1x Königsee) both are from the 50's or earlier. I'd love to exchange with someone who really likes vintage cards and is willing to send me a vintage one too or another cool card. Comment and send me a DM with your details : ) First come first serve!
I have 10 Edition Tausendschön - Valentine’s Day postcards and 1 bonus handmade USPS Valentine’s Day stamp themed postcard. So if you love stamps, let me know! Otherwise, I’ll pick randomly who gets which ones. If you are one of the first 11 respondents, please message me your address and themes you like because I have extra goodies to send!
It's funny but if you look closely the homemade cards DoraDoodle & Mumbagoespainting have a similar "tag" 🏷️ shape! Kinda a nice coincidence.
u/DoraDoodle thank you for this very unique and lovey Valentines 💌 Day card! I love the shape and color and design so much!
u/mumbagoespainting thank you for your handmade card as well. There was a 🏷️ tag shape in your design as well, even though it wasn't a specific "Valentines" card, it had a reddish color. Thanks for responding to my last message. It's nice to go back and forth. It's nice and cool and rainy today and Mondays I like to hibernate and recuperate anyways after the weekend. I'm looking forward to just staying indoors and catching up on some tasks. Thank you for sending me such a beautiful card. 💜
u/StillSheryl for another Valentines 💌 postcard. This is another pun one of a "match" book. Going to a 🍾 restaurant sounds very nice. One of the things I bought myself this year were mother of pearl spoons and plates for caviar service. I wanted to get into caviar this year. I'm wondering if I should hold off on developing a new expensive hobby when it appears prices of food may go through the roof soon. Caviar & champagne 🥂 seems to be the most indulgent way to celebrate Valentines 💘 Day though.
Hello all,
I've been checking off locations on my spooky map of the United States and just had brunch at the Omni Parker House in Boston this weekend. Supposedly it's haunted. (The only thing scary are the prices on that brunch menu to be honest, haha).
Would anyone like a vintage looking postcard? Comment below with your spookiest ghost story/encounter.

I can't tag anyone or properly thank anyone because my account was hacked. If you sent any cards to the user name excellent_joke_8833 this is the only way I have to thank you. The kids loved the Christmas cards.
Tasting a world of flavours, both sweet and rare,
u/Taromlktea has earned their Flair.
A hundred pearls of kindness, in every sip,
From Boba tea shops with taro’s charm, let’s take a trip.
Blending milk and taro, in a dance so sweet,
Your carding kindness makes the world complete.
So here's to you, with tapioca pearls,
Bringing smiles and cheers, to boys and girls.
u/Taromlktea, your Flair’s a brew,
Of love and joy, in a Bronze hue.
Thank you for the sweet Valentine’s Day card and your lovely note, along with the rose (tea bag). Wishing you and your family a happy Valentine’s Day.
u/starflier55
In the world of ads, where messages fly,
u/Typical-Ad-897 has reached the sky.
With 500 Flair, now Black so sleek,
Your RandomActsofCards are truly unique.
Like “Just Do It,” you took the leap,
With every card sent made memories to keep.
“Have a break, have a KitKat,” they say,
Yet you keep spreading joy day after day.
In the spirit of “I’m Lovin’ It” cheer,
Your acts of love bring smiles near.
So here’s to you, with style so grand,
A true card-sending legend, we understand.
Hellllllooooooooo errrrrrrrrrrrrbody! Hope everyone is healthy and safe out there in RAOC land :)
January was definitely a clusterfuck (politically, economically and socially worldwide) and the shitshow doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon - no matter where you are in the world.

Hello all the nice people of RAoC. Huge huge thanks to everyone who celebrated my birthday with me - it made it really special, never in my life so many people took care of me! I want to ask you for the birthday cards for my friend today. He's celebrating his BD in the first half of March. He loves bright colors, celebrating life, insects and spiders are his huge special interest. He loves animals and popular cinema (but also classics like David Lynch etc. of course). And no one send him physical mail! Apart from you, who sent him some insects postcards via myself, and he was excited (but also very surprised why are some strangers from different countries are sending him mail :)
I will collect all the cards you sent him and then give them out to him on his birthday - we live in the same city. If you have my address, it's the same, but mark somewhere that it's c/o to Marek. If you don't have my address, tell me, I'll message you, and thank you!
u/craftymonmon - Thank you for the birthday postcard! I love the postcard itself and the stickers you've put.
u/carebearhussar- Thank you for the positivity postcards! I really appreciate it. I like the cards and designs

u/bellaandreassi - Thank you for the postcard, it just arrived a few days ago. The teller of small fortunes sounds interesting.
u/ferseriousdude -Thank you for the cat postcard, it’s adorable! I hope 2025 is treating you well too.
u/t3ctim - Thank you for the sushi postcard. I hope you enjoyed your time seeing your family. I love the Pygmy possum stamp.
u/MrsQuasi -your reminders were definitely things I needed to hear. I love all the cat stickers. Thanks for the great postcard.
u/diffitt -Thank you for the cute holiday card. I hope your holidays went well and 2025 is being kind to you.

Hello all, I traveled to Canada this weekend and picked up some Canadian postcards, specifically from British Columbia. If you’d like one, please comment if you’re most interested in a wildlife card, landscape/scenery card, or a historical card and I’ll do my best! Please comment below also what you’d like me to write about on the card. I’ll reach out to you for details and mark the post as fulfilled when I run out.
EDIT- I’ll be reaching out to you all this week to get your information and start sending these out :)
