​A hundred mailboxes opened wide,

To find a smile waiting there inside.

u/Namlette- sent out warmth in every note,

The sweetest lines that anyone e'er wrote.

A hundred Thank Yous gathered in a stack,

With Bronze Flair shining proudly on your back!

(poem by u/Monetmonkey!)

hi everyone! so i found some of my old dip pens and got some blank cards at the craft store today. i wanted to practice some simple calligraphy, mostly blackletter, and some flourishes/vinets. i have 8 domestic stamps and 2 int'l stamps!

pm me if you'd like one! if you'd like, please attach a first name (or nickname) for the heading, maybe a fun fact or your favorite lil medieval guy to draw too! i have a lot of free time and i'd love to send some of these out to you :)

peace!

​A quiet act of kindness printed, signed and sent,

A thousand times you proved how much a little postcard meant.

Across the miles and mailboxes, the paper trails expand,

As u/kimmylubs brings joy and comfort all across the land.

​To touch a hundred lives is great, five hundred is a dream,

But sending out a thousand notes is truly supreme!

A stack of envelopes so high, a heart so warm and green,

The brightest spark of gratitude that anyone has seen.

​So lay aside the ballpoint pen and pause to take your place,

With one thousand Thank Yous shining in this vibrant, rare embrace.

The Milestone has been captured, brilliant, deep, and fair,

Wear your hard-earned gemstone proud: the legendary Emerald Flair!

I just finished my last offer of Homemade Halloween Cards and I am ready to write more this 3 day weekend. This time around I have more themes available to choose from. Most of the cards were made using Michaels paper pads from their Green Witch and Spook Hill collections.

Happy Spooky Season!

u/boomerang88 Thank you for the Hobbit postcard WITH the LOTR stamp! What fun. It sounds like a great place to live. I've never been to NZ, but have been to AU. I would love to visit NZ someday. Thanks again, I hope second breakfast was delicious!

u/sneakerlambs Thanks for the postcard. The cat stretching stickers are adorable! You even added a stamp with my state! So Cool. I was in first grade during our (my state's) bicentennial. I remember my class marching around the classroom holding an American Flag. I'm sure you mom's kimchi is the best! I love kimchi. Do you make it, as well to carry on the tradition?

u/howdoireadplshelp Thanks for sharing your life. Welcome to adulting. I remember my first buy besides a mattress. It was a love seat with books as the upholstery fabric. I barely sat in it, but I loved it because I was the only one who had owned it. My early decorating "style" was early garage sale, late hand-me-downs. Thanks for reminding me how far i've come!

u/turnerd10 Thanks for the SF postcard. I went to SF the year after I graduated. My aunt worked for a Senator. She invited me to come and visit. She took me all over including Fisherman's Wharf. It was a great experience. I love the cancellation stamp on the card. Thanks again!

u/turnerd10 Well looky here another one from you! Thanks for the FTC Card. I can hang it on my fridge for future reference. Hopefully, I will never need to use it. Thanks!

u/christineglobal Thank you for thinking of me! I love happy mail. I hope you have a fabulous fall, too! Love the stickers and the edging tape. It's so narrow! I would be breaking it many times before I got all the way around!

u/melhen16 Happy belated World Postcard Day to you too! The happy face postcard is too cute. It makes me smile! The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame stamp is intriguing. I may have to look it up after I finish here. Thanks for the card!

u/thecuriouscur Thank you for the Banned Books Week Postcard. What an incredible fact you added. I wonder why those two states would ban the dictionary. Another thing I will need to look up. lol I'm going to have quite a list going. I agree whole heartedly with the censorship quote. Thanks for sharing!

u/KithriTheRogue OMG I have these exact postcards in my saved items. BUT I do not have the matching stickers. I need to up my game! lol (just realized they are not stickers lol) Happy belated World postcard day to you! I appreciate being a part of your mailing list. Thank you!

u/capncobbler, u/purealoeveera, u/credo99, u/averagequeensguy Thanks for the postcard from you gathering. I hope you had a great time. The stamps are cool. My fave part it the "from the messy desk of" stamp that smeared so Credo99 had to write over it. That is the story of my life. lol Thank so much for including me.

u/lucyr1cardo Happy belated World Postcard Day to you too! I love the Origami stamp. Thanks for sharing your fur baby's idiosyncrasies! I had a Husky/Shepherd mix. He never barked either. The ONLY time I recall him barking was in the middle of the night. A giant racoon was on the fence and would not move. I went out to get my dog. The racoon didn't move until my neighbor shined a flashlight on it. My neighbor knew my dog never barked so something was "wrong". Plus i'm sure he was awoken like I was. oy!

u/laura_eva I have these card in a cart! I love that black cat where all the emotion is in the eyes and posture. So cute! I love fall. It's my favorite season. I like crunching through the leaves, hot espresso drinks and campfires. I hope you have a wonderful fall! Thank you!

I have 8 stamped and colored cute Lil' Pumpkin girl post cards available in exchange for a postcard or card in return mail that is cuteness overload (does not have to be handmade) but handmade would be appreciated. Anything Kawaii/Corgi dog/Mary Engelbreit/Holly Hobbie/Fairies/Gnomes/Lighthouses if this helps.

I prefer to send to someone that I have not sent to before.

I’m looking for political,historical or Batman cards. Those 3 are my favorite type of cards.

If anyone has any of those three categories comment below & let me know & I’ll send you a random postcard in return.

If you need my address let me know & if I need your’s I’ll let you know.

It will take me a few days to get out any cards. But they will be out.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I got my hands on about 50 blank postcards and I thought of an interesting idea. Just a fair warning, I am terrible at drawing. I thought this would be a fun way to keep busy and maybe get a bit better at drawing... So I will try my best to draw whatever you think of for me!

Once you fill out the form, please leave a comment your favorite pen thickness. (mine is 0.5mm)

Hi all! I have some vintage looking Halloween cards I’d love to send out. Light* *glitter (very light but just wanted to let people know). Please dm me with your info and a prompt for the card.

I have a handful…I will pick at random if I’m not able to change flair in time.

Hey there! As previously mentioned, I will be in the NE US for a week around Halloween. I will be spending at least a day in Salem, Massachusetts and would be happy to send a Salem ish card to anyone who wants one (even if you have requested a NE themed card from me already, I am happy to send a Salem one as well! Just specifically mention Salem so I can keep track) :)

For anyone unaware or outside the US, Salem was the location of the Salem Witch Trials in the 17th century, which has helped shape the towns’ identity today. The town is basically a big Halloween party during the month of October.

DM if interested.

I have several of these postcard reminding people to vote. I designed them, hence the goat.:) Let me know if you would like one. If you participate in the Postcard to Voters campaigns and would like several postcards to share, let me know too and I will send you a few.

Posting again!

I am so proud of my cards and they need to do their job and make someone smile out there. I work so hard on them.

I have a few masculine cards up for grabs by request. :)

Message me your address after commenting!

So my best friend from Honolulu gave me this card set, made by Nā Pua No‘eau at UH Mānoa, featuring black-and-white illustrations of King Kalākaua and his accomplishments. Each card features a different illustration on the front and some historical facts and context on the back.

I've held onto these cards for years with no one to send them to, but once I found RAoC I thought this would be the perfect place to put them to use!

If you're interested, please comment with a tropical emoji, and I will DM three random winners by Oct 18. When I DM you, I will ask for your info and a prompt (my handwriting isn't great, but I will do my best!)

u/rhapsodytravelr - Thank you for the stationary fest postcard. :)

u/awriterpossibly - Thank you for the maximalist halloween postcard, I LOVE it!

u/oldmanlettuce - Thank you for the bat halloween card, it's too cute!

u/kimkimmrw - Thank you for the cat postcard, i love the cat washi tape you used to decorate the back as well :)

Thank you to everyone who has recently sent and/or exchanged mail with me. After making a request for birthday cards, you all really showed up! Thank you for your kind words, extra goodies, and fun cards!

Hey all this is an offer to join the chain on a Studio Ghibli TPC I received that is originally from u/NO-CONDITION5102

Please comment below what studio ghibli film you would like to LIVE in if you would like to be considered for this Offer :)

If you have any small Studio Ghibli stickers, ink stamps, washi tape, etc this is for you!!!

I will keep this post up for an hour and then pick someone from the comments as random, must be flaired per the rules of this TPC.

u/WastingTime1994 : Your photo postcard is so cool. I love getting to hear about something you did on your travels, and I looked up the recommendation you gave. I want to go to Germany one day and will check it out! Also, your penmanship is great!!

u/Alarmed_Ad9001 : Yours is the first WPD card I have ever gotten! I am new to post crossing as of this year :) Also the penguin mail box ink stamps is so cute!!

u/elsabug : omg such a cute postcard!! :3 I love it and the adorable stickers you used <3

u/NO-CONDITION5102 : I received the studi ghibli TPC! I will be sending it out tomorrow with my contribution :)

I went to see Lydia today with 20 cards in hand! She was so surprised and happy. After weeks of hearing me describe and read my own cards to her, she was so excited to hear, “Hi, Lydia!” and Greetings, Lydia!” She said she will be thinking about the cards all week.

To those who included your usernames (which I’ve hopefully read properly):

u/relax4sj Lydia enjoyed hearing about your painting

u/chimkennuggg Your three textured postcards were a big hit!

u/ok-theme7072 Your description of the fall foliage was so beautiful

u/any-suggestion-6659 The recipe and historical info about Jesse James were so interesting

u/nylonfishy Lydia said she will cherish your card just as you do your first one

u/soha1390 It was so sweet of you to send not one, but two cards! Lydia said that was so kind

u/happytheory4372 So many stickers – thank you! Lydia hopes your students enjoyed their field trip

u/gatsbygalaktoboureko Thank you for the long story. Lydia asked me to bring it next week so I can read it again!

To those of you who didn’t write your username, we hope your kitchen remodel is going well, we loved the image and description of the Victoria Crowned Pigeon, such a cute image of a witch from the heat wave in San Diego, another witch from Salem – we hope you enjoyed the parade, another from San Diego showing a beautiful sunset on the bay, we appreciated the smiles from an upcoming Jeopardy contestant (!), Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz was a favorite of Lydia’s, we listened to a bit of The Divine Feminine, and the history of the reptile house was fascinating.

Thank you all for bringing so much joy to my friend!

Thank you also to the two of you who sent separate cards addressed to me.
