[Thank You] u/melhen16 and u/jaimekj

Thank you u/melhen16 for the pretty Thank You card and stickers. I must admit - thanking you for a thank you card seems rather redundant 😊 Thank you u/jaimekj for the happy Hello Sunshine card. We have been busy outside in the garden, enjoying the sun

Hi friends! My first RAoC birthday is in Mid-May, and I would love to receive a card from you. Would you join me in celebrating my birthday? 💌

Birthdays can also bring up sad moments for me. I wish my parents were still here to celebrate these milestones with me. I am grateful to experience another year of life because aging as a gift. I cherish every day.

I am so thankful for you that you would consider celebrating with me!

  • Please comment below if you're interested in sending a card.
  • Don't forget to include your username for a thank you and return address if you'd like a card back.
  • If you need my address, let me know if you want me to send it to you in chat or PM.
  • I warmly ask that you specify it's a birthday card on the envelope, so then I know to hold it until cake day.
  • If you need ideas, there is a list pinned to my profile, but don't let that stop you from sending or writing from your heart. Every card will be cherished.

With gratitude, yomelette

PS. Don't forget: You're a gift to humanity.

[Thank You] March and April 🌷

finishingthetea Sawadee ka! Quite random to stumble upon an exhibition on electricity but good for them to do their research and spread this knowledge to the public! I love reading unexpected things happening locally on travel postcards :)

Aviana9 Thank you for the Thracian golden treasures postcard. Love the train stamp! Receiving it was such a pleasant surprise :)

Lydi-ahaha Thank you for the milk tea postcard with the beautiful matching stamps. I like yuanyang too! Sometimes I think it's quite funny when a shop that serves coffee and tea says that they don't have yuanyang haha!

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!

[Thank you] Catching up on thank yous for lovely mail

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 :)

[Offer] Bored and looking for inspo [US]

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!

[Request] Mother’s Day Cards for grief and loss [US]

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!
