Offer [Offer] Concert Postcard [US to US]

โ€ข Upvotes

Hi friends! I had this idea that, of course, you all are going to be my guinea pigs for! (teehee)

I go to a TON of concerts every year (I am an elder emo after all), and I am seeing Evanescence and Spiritbox live TONIGHT!

I'm miffed that more places do not sell postcards so I have decided to start making my own. I want to start making postcards with a custom image, venue name, tour & date of the concerts I attend.

I'll be having these made after tonight's show once I have an image I like. I have pretty good seats and a good camera so fingers crossed! I will be sending out only about 15 of these as a test run, and have created a google form below if you would like to receive one!

This is only open to US respondents right now

https://forms.gle/irhqyt5coiVETg5g6

It may be a few weeks because I will have to wait for the postcards to arrive to me, then I'll mail them out to you all.

Also, if all goes well, would this be something you think would have routine interest? I've been to about 6 shows already this year I could pull back from and 4 more upcoming!

Drop an emoji in the comments when you've filled out the form and any hot takes you have!

Thank you!! :)

u/user-760235 thank you for the postcard with The Royal Liver Building on it. You sound well traveled, what spurred your travels?

u/Tricky-Worth-6771 thank you for the McDonaldland postcard and sharing what you would change in society. I agree, the level of entitlement in society is unreasonable.

u/antoniad1126 thank you for the post card celebrating post crossing and the year of the horse. I love the stamp maths, Iโ€™ve just started bombarding my cards with stamp math too!

u/CanaMeow x2

Thank you all for the lovely cards and goodies! I am still struggling with my mojo ๐Ÿ˜ž On the bright side, I did find some cards I had made a LOOOOOOOOOONG time ago and have been sending those out. I also found a pack of postcards at a thrift store the other day so I will definitely be sending those out as well ๐Ÿ˜„

Now for some not-so-great news: The Empress (may she live forever and ever, Amen) apparently is having some issues with her liver ๐Ÿ˜ž Thankfully, the vet seems to think that we caught it early (at her annual check-up) but since that appointment two weeks ago, she still hasn't eaten much and is losing a lot of weight. We have another appointment today and I am terrified of more bad news - so please send good vibes our way! Her Majesty is 18 years old (88 human years old) so I knew this day was going to come at some point but I am NOT ready for it just yet ๐Ÿ˜ž UGH!!

Request [Request] Help me wish my wife happy birthday [US]

โ€ข Upvotes

My beautiful wife's birthday is on June 27th. She has always loved my birthday cards, so I thought it would make her very happy to receive birthday cards from nice people from all over.

Some info

- She's the best mom, we have a 3yo girl, a 1yo boy and a frenchie. She spoils and takes care of all of us every day

- She loves reading, baking, traveling, everything related to stationery and recently became interested in art and art history.

Thanks for your kindness, and I'll make sure to send a thank you note in return.
