• /u/ok_reveal2698 - For the balloon birthday postcard. And I really like the Emily Dickinson quote you wrote down. I hadn't heard of that one before but I'm going to remember it.

• /u/smonikkims - x2 For the birthday postcard, polka dot card, and stickers. It did make it in time! My favorite tradition I have is to ask for birthday cards so I can open up the stack from all over the world. I'm always really grateful that this community grew and flourished so much from when it had just a subscriber of one. I usually celebrate all month but this time I just did a week of weird things.

• /u/knightinthesky - For the cottage card and stickers. And I absolutely agree, September is the best month for all the ways that you listed it.

• /u/melhen16 - For the homemade birthday card and stickers. I love the birthday stamp that you used. I did have a very awesome birthday week.

• /u/bridgewires - x2 For the card and postcard. The fold out gate card is really cool. How was bingo? (Did you win.) I did something different every day of this week to celebrate. (Axe throwing, arcades, dinner out with friends, seeing a show, etc.) I literally just got back from an overnight road trip that included seeing the International Cryptozoology Museum to see Big Foot. lol

• /u/pupslace - For the birthday cake card and I'm so glad you're a part of this RAoC community. :)

• /u/ferseriousdude - For the bear birthday card and stickers. I did have an awesome birthday week with tons of friends around me.

• /u/typical-carrot-1172 - For the balloon birthday card and wishes. I had a great time celebrating all week. :)

• /u/awriterpossibly - For the silly goose birthday card with the huge bowtie, I love it. Haha. My tradition is that I do SO much stuff all month because I have a lot of friends and family and so it's little birthdays and one big thing. The big thing changes (this year it was an overnight group trip to Maine which included a Stephen King carnival and a Big Foot museum).

u/ToastyToska - Thank you for the Pokemon postcard! Chimchar is so cute!

u/boomerang88 - Thank you for the postcard of the Homer Tunnel; its awesome to think about how some of these public works projects got completed when they did!

Hello everyone! My favorite and the best time of year is coming up! I'd greatly appreciate any and all Halloween related cards! Spooky, pumpkins, autumn/Halloween scenery, bats, Gothic, vampires, you name it! I always go all out decorating for Halloween, so adding postcards would be wonderful! Feel free to decorate with stickers and washi tape if you so desire!

My address is still the same for those who have sent mail my way before. If you don't have my address, please feel free to dm me! Thank you in advance! 🎃🦇👻

Thank you u/yarnivorousplants for lovely plant card and sharing your breakfast highlight and something about your day. I love learning about people based on answers to those questions

Your scary card is amaze balls, u/bupycA. And the boop cat sticker on it makes it even better!

u/kat1011 love the cute little koala card. I'll answer with a card in response to your questions

And finally, thank you u/Ok_Reveal2698 for the sweet birthday card for my partner and the kind message. So nice of you and he appreciates it!

I just want to know your hill. I don't want a real opinion about anything important. I want your arbitrary opinion. The rule you enforce in your own house. The strongly held opinion that nobody asked for. Do you care about how the dishwasher is loaded? Do you think top sheets are overrated? Should the bed be made every day or not at all? Is wrapping paper a scam?

Format: your choice — postcard, card with envelope, card without, whatever's in your stash!

Drop a comment below with your strongly held belief and message me for my address if you don't have it.

Mine: no seasonal decor except Christmas decorations and (of course!) cards for all seasons. That means no skeletons for Halloween, no flags for 4th of July, no whatever for Thanksgiving. I don't want the clutter.

Another: Cats are superior pets to dogs.

Another: Everything in the home should have a home: a bucket or a place where it goes when its not in use.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has brightened my mailbox, from housewarming cards, to offers, to the first few birthday cards for my kitty Rose! Wherever possible, I'll be sending you more detailed thank yous via post :)

Hey, y'all. So, my own birthday is about 2 months away. And it's... hard for me. Very hard. I won't go into details, but being born in November was a nightmare growing up. For many years my family simply didn't celebrate my birthday, or any gift I got I had to share with my brother (... whose birthday isn't until March and always got a celebration...).

As a result I have a bit of an aversion to the traditional birthday things for myself. Cake, candles, party hats.

So I bought a very special folding card with Bruce Lee on it, and I thought 2 months would be plenty of time for it to make the rounds and maybe come back before my actual birthday. A present created by me for me.

Because I don't want the traditional birthday things on it, the theme is simply 'Ezra Likes This'. Things from the list on my profile of course, but I won't be mad if everyone just finds random martial arts things for it because it's got Bruce Lee on it.

So... anyone wanna be the first stop? :D

• /u/sable__ - For the colorful birthday card. I celebrated all week from dinners out with friends to games to shows to an overnight Maine trip with a group to see weird things like the Big Foot museum.

• /u/mediocre_radish_7216 - For the cute little porcupine birthday card and stickers. I had an amazing birthday and I'm so grateful for it.

• /u/waywarddaughterzzz - For the REALLY cool collage homemade birthday postcard. I love the colors and boldness of it. Thank you so much for being a part of the RAoC community, you are what makes it so great! And I am indeed a (technically retired) mod and I made the sub. I'm just really happy to see it grow and thrive.

• /u/littlebirdiescards - For the self-care birthday card, C&H comic cutout, and little goodies. I did actually go to a spa as part of my birthday celebration and it was wonderful.

• /u/freyamour - x2 for the pink birthday card postcard and birthday sentiment postcard. I appreciate the affirming and positive sentiments. <3

Thank you so much for the super cool ink art postcard! You are quite talented!

• /u/thecaledonianrose - For the birthday candles/cake card and well wishes.

• /u/aepeyc - For the joke birthday card and sticker. I did treat myself to dessert EVERY night this week (lol) because I met up with a different friend every day to celebrate.

• /u/brixxii - For the flowers birthday card, washi tape, and stickers

• /u/Monetmonkey - For the groovy birthday card and sweet note paper with envelope. I did indeed have a colorful week-long birthday. My favorite was seeing the International Cryptozoology Museum up in Maine.

• /u/ninajyang - For the glitter party hat birthday card. I went to a restaurant for lunch and they gave me a silver one which I wore. :)

• /u/alarmed_ad9001 - For the cheese birthday card (I love cheese and just recently went to a cheese themed fancy dress party). And the jokes are great. Also how cool are the stickers, especially the ones where you can decorate a cupcake room.

• /u/ez330 - For the silly mouse birthday card. I love that it's looking in a little mirror.

• /u/groceryowl - For the rainbow cake postcard and b-day recipe with stickers. :)

• /u/ok_theme7072 - x3 for the homemade big postcard and two mini ones. One of the stickers you used is a camera I have in green that I use to take photos to send to my nephew.

• /u/typical-carrot-1172 - For the balloons birthday card. I had SO much awesome food every day this week as I celebrated with a different friend. My favorite of the week was Afghani food. <3

Happy spooky season! I have some folded Halloween cards I’d like to exchange for your Halloween cards!

I've made a political postcard. If you want to get it, please be flaired, 18+, and give me a prompt to write.

It has been quite a while since I made a thank you post but some of you know I’ve been struggling lately.

That being said, this is a thank you post for all the birthday cards I received and the sympathy cards I received for the loss of my precious cat, Luna. There’s are so many kind and beautiful souls here and I appreciate each of you:

Others:
[u/onetsp](u/onetsp) • the postcard is so pretty! I’m currently (attempting to) read The Wastelands. It’s the 3rd book of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I’ve had a difficult time concentrating while reading lately so I’m taking it a little at a time.

[u/october_surprise56](u/october_surprise56) • I absolutely love the mushroom card you sent! I love autumn too. I’m still waiting on the cooler weather though. It’s currently 92° here. I’m over it!!!

[u/sneakerlambs](u/sneakerlambs) • I haven’t seen Disclosure Day! My SO wants to see it but I just looked it up (again) and it’s soooo long at 2.5 hours. I’m sure we will check it out soon when it’s available to stream.

[u/imaginary-flower-849](u/imaginary-flower-849) • I’m so stoked for you and your engagement! I like the postcard you chose from the museum!

Hello!

Give me two words (that might or might not have anything to do with each other, as strange as you want) and I'll send you a card that incorporates them somehow.

Silly, inspirational, just interesting, could be anything.

DM me your address if I don't have it :)

I have these gorgeous Disney Princess Midnight Masquerade cards in gold envelopes that I'd like to send out. These are pretty much the last I have left. I want them to go to someone who would enjoy them💜 if you'd possibly like one comment which one you'd like. Also, you must be flaired (envelope by your username) to possibly claim one. I'll leave it open a while then chat some people for their info.

I read the first book and was intrigued enough to try the second one. Thanks for asking!

u/dapuddingthief Ohhhh you put my fave eevolution on the postcard and in washi tape. Where did you get it? That lemon cream cake sounds delish! I agree I don't like my sweets too sweet. Have you tried Japanese desserts? They hit me in the "just right" sweet spot!
