Hey everyone!! It's taken me a couple weeks to respond to my latest mail but I'm here now. I've been working 8-11 hours a day, 7 days a week currently as a caregiver during some emergency situations with my clients which isn't usual for me so I've been drained when I get home. I still manage to do a little crafty stuff every night before bed and you all can thank me later because I know I'll be sharing a lot of these cute things with all my friends on here, haha. So just know even if it takes me a while to post a thank you, I haven't ever forgotten about any of you and always appreciate greatly any mail I recieve. I'll ALWAYS post a thank you, even if they are delayed sometimes just so you all know. <3

u/HogwartsismyHeart x2

Thank you for the absolutely adorable turtle card! I smile whenever I look at it. Turtles are just some of the most precious creatures. They are amazing! <3 Also, thank you for the beautiful spring card. I love the image of the dirty white picket fence with a flower growing over it. I see it as being very symbolic and I think the simplicity in nature and how things come together sometimes is beautiful. :)

u/roxy031

Thank you for the cute "peeping it real" chick postcard I'm not a huge fan of peeps, however, I absolutely love chickens and have had some pet hens and so your card is extra special to me.

Guys... this is embarrassing. I got behind. I got overwhelmed. I put it off as long as I could, but I wanted to get this done before 2024 closed out. I have been so blessed by all of the kind words, gorgeous cards, creative pursuits, etc. You are truly amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my cold, dead heart.

Another batch of thank-yous for all of my pen friends!

Thank you all for the heartwarming Happy Mail! ❤️ These will be short thank-yous this time, as I am currently having some health problems affecting my endurance. Love you all!

I'm reposting this thank you post from last night as I was trying to decifer a username and while typing it out I unintentionally typed out someones real name so it was temporarily removed. So I changed the letters to the correct username (hard to decifer sometimes if unfamiliar to me) and wanted to make sure everyone received their thank yous. I don't know if I post it originally that everyone gets credit towards their flair but just in case. :)

u/lossing

Thank you for the postcard with bison. I've seen bison in person actually and it was pretty amazing! I had a few of them come to my winsow while driving through Olympic game farm here in Washington State and they were pushing their big but cute heads in my window as I had bread to feed them. I think it would be an amazing sight to see them running the plains as well. I've always felt an affinity towards them. Such strong creatures. <3

Thank you for the excuses card and coupon! It hits close to home seeing this coupon of no homework because once in a while I'll have a reaccuring nightmare that I discover I have classes and am months in and "forgot" about them and haven't done any homework. It's like my worst fear in school because I'm SO diligent with any coursework and will spend hours focused before I do anything else. I would never forget my homework but I suppose it's stress related to have these nightmares, haha! So when I do go back to school I'll be sure to hand my professor this coupon haha. :p And thanks for the recipie! It sounds amazing and I'm going to save it to try out!

u/melhen16

Thank you for the pretty floral card with all the flower facts! They are quite interesting! The flower that one blooms once a year reminds me of the one in Dennis The Menace. It's also amazing to me that orchids don't need water to survive. This is mind boggling!! Thank you for the beautiful flower and butterfly stickers too. I love them and am going to use everything in a special scrapbook I have to save memories. :)

Thank you for the postcard of Niagra Falls!! I've never been there before but would like to visit. It sounds like such a beautiful place! I also love all the stamps you used too! Seeing all these lovely stamps people have has made me inspired to keep a good look out for new stamps that come out.

Thank you for the flower card, post card and cute stickers. I love them all!

I've been away from home unexpectedly for a bit, and just got caught up with your lovely mail.

Hello everyone! I have been holding onto this stack of cards for over a month! I just got 2 new full time jobs at the same time and am actively trying to find a new place to live so I have been very busy. I know this style of Thank Yous aren't ideal and isn't very polite (both towards senders for lack of individuality and the mods for having to go through so many) but I cannot keep staring at this stack of cards, feeling guilty for not showing my very very huge appreciation for everyone who has sent me mail in the past month. So I hope you can forgive me and I will (hopefully) be back to normal posting again! Thank you all!

I see everyone is posting these types of mass thank yous, so I feel less bad about it.. anyways, I appreciate every piece of mail i receive! thank yous in the comments

✨️I DID IT , my back log of thanks yous and cards is finished. My inbox is empty now, not sure how I feel about that lol

First off I am going to start with an apology as I am usualy so on top of my thank you posts, but my life has been crazy both in content and also my mental health has been pretty much on the floor. I have loved recieving the cards and postcards that I have recieved and honestly they have all meant so much to me. Each one has been a little smile on my face after a long day.

I usually do a personal comment, but it is so overwhelming to do that at the moment as I have so many do to so tagged in the comments for the thanks, and sorry for not making a comment. Though thank you all for sharing something of your life with me over the last few weeks.

Some more thank-yous for these lovely cards.

I feel like I cannot express how much all the mail means to me. Thank you! ❤️

I have never requested cards on here, I have only sent them. But yesterday I checked my PO Box for the first time in months and I had SO MUCH MAIL. You all are so kind and thoughtful - these were all thank you cards in response to cards I had created. I will thank everyone individually in the comments, but you all really made my day!

I can’t thank you all enough for this massive pile of happy mail! It really lifted my spirits and brightened my days while recovering from my recent surgery, which is going well thanks to luck and good wishes. You quite literally brought sunshine to my life and I was absolutely floored by how many cards I received! 

Shoutout also to:

• Whoever sent me the adorable puppy get well soon card - sorry I didn’t catch your username but I loved it!!
• The person who sent me such a thoughtful letter, so many cute stickers and a great hobo-nichi suggestion, and an absolutely adorable homemade card. I didn’t catch your reddit name but plan to write you back! I can tag you here for a thank you if you let me know your username! 

u/rand_ston Thank you so much for the get well soon card and the adorable stickers! I love coloring and have already got a good start on the coloring page as well!

u/dryrots I absolutely adored your letter, fantastic jokes and accompanying drawing, and the stickers and mummy valentine were right up my alley! Your movie recommendations were also on point - I love Big Fish! 

u/KBPT1998 Thank you so much for the beautiful fish card! The colors absolutely made it feel like a vacation in a card, and I loved the baby Yoda stickers as well!

u/PlentyComfortable239 The sunshine card absolutely brightened my day! I love silly holidays too, and even if Phil didn’t see what we were hoping for, I know spring is on the horizon! Thank you also for the gorgeous ephemera I will use in collaging!

u/606mustang Thank you so much for the “bounce back” card! I’m so sorry to hear that you know what it’s like to have so many winter surgeries in the winter! I certainly do appreciate the streaming services and home delivery - that helped a lot more than once! 

u/travel4me22 Thank you for the incredible homemade card! It was so beautifully designed and it definitely perked me up! The illustration was so cute and I loved the sparkly paper! 

u/thick-combination185 Thank you so much for the packet of sunshine! I loved the stickers, note paper, and the art cards! Especially the rose one, as one of my favorite quotes is that “we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

u/theisleofmanydreams Thank you so much for the beautiful art card! I love all things animals and this card reminded me of the joy that you can still find even in winter! Your washi tapes are so cute, and I loved the stickers as well - this giant butterfly one is going on my sketchbook cover!

u/inkyfingerspgs I loved your lovely daisy card and all of the generous add ins! The Monet note paper is gorgeous and I loved the adorable stickers! Especially the strawberry frog - I will have to find a special place for him! Thanks for the cali sunshine!

u/sydneyisnotdead Thank you so much for the card, neighbor! I hope you are enjoying this week of warm weather and sunshine as much as I am! I also loved the stickers so much - especially the bugs and mushrooms. To answer the ducking high question, I’d spend the most time staring at the elephants if I were stoned at the zoo! They are so wise! 

u/t3ctim I’m so honored to have received a postcard from so far away. Thank you so much for the quite stylish emu card and good summer wishes from the other side of the world! Sending the positivity back your way! 

u/ungodlysockmonster You absolutely delivered on your happy mail promise! I can’t thank you enough for this bundle of joy! I loved the washi tapes, the ridiculously cute stickers, your homemade card, and the wonderful letter from your pets! Tell all six of them that my two little goblin cats say hi! 

u/champagneandbalony Thank you so much for the pep talk in a card! Your happy mail helped make my day brighter and my recovery speedier! 

u/pillowmonk It was such a delightful surprise to receive a card from so far away! Thank you for the beautiful card with all of the adorable houseplant stickers and your lovely handwriting! I love that you take time out of your busy work life to treat yourself to a snowboarding trip! It’s one of my goals to try skiing or snowboarding at some point. For now, I enjoy summer activities like tennis and swimming to relax after a busy work day! 

u/thelolwai Thank you so much for the gorgeous spring card! Nothing promises spring quite like a bird and blossoms against a blue sky! I’ve bookmarked the bird sanctuary you recommended to visit this spring, and I will take you up on your Mistborn recommendation once I finish Stormlight Archives! 

u/culturalgarlic Thank you for the cute cow card with the lovely hand poured wax seal! The stickers were incredible as well - I loved all the mushrooms and the strawberry bunny was precious! I appreciate your good vibes so very much! 

u/nothankyou928 Thank you for the lovely houseplant card and for sharing your favorite childhood summer memory! What a valuable lesson in learning that scary things are doable, and I’m sure that was such a treasured time to spend with your papa on the boat. Hoping it’s well past winter where you are now!

u/roxy031 I was absolutely charmed by your delightful drawings. They are so precious! The warm hugs cocoa was so cute! And you said it best - it could always be worse, I’m sure all dogs would agree that a cone is way worse. Thank you so much! 

u/rennbrig Thank you so much for the colorful postcard! The hummingbirds and cactus flowers sure brought some summery joy my way, and definitely helped beat the winter blues! 

u/knightinthesky Thank you for the awesome animal tracks flower card! Such a neat idea for a design and I really enjoyed it! The Peanuts comics were a lovely nostalgic surprise as well. Here’s hoping it’s almost spring where you are, too!

u/macmom345 Thank you for the incredibly sunny sunflower card! The sunflower jokes were too good and I made sure to pass them on as well. Seeing a field of Texas sunflowers would be quite the sight and the thought brings warm vibes! 

u/mediocre_radish_7216 I loved the beautiful sparkly sun card (and cute address labels) so much! You added so many treasures as well. I loved the Richard Bach quote, the sticky notes, the beachy art card, and the generous envelope of stickers. The quote ones are all so special and I can’t wait to add them to my journal! 

u/teresasaidwhat Thank you so much for the cute flamingo postcard full of so many interesting flamingo facts! I had a great time coloring it and gave them lots of shades of pink! Thank you also for the beautiful flower card - hoping this season is a good one for you down south! 

u/aepeyc Thank you so much for the downright charming card made by your sister-in-law! Her art was so bright and summery  and was just what the doctor ordered. I’m finally hearing those spring birds over here as well and saw my first robin today! Hoping spring is well on its way for you now! 

u/DoraDoodle Thank you so much for the absolutely beautiful card! It’s so elegant and, if it is homemade, you have such skill! I have it on my dresser because the quote on the front was so inspiring. I appreciate the happy mail and stickers so much!

u/tiredpantyhose Thank you so much for the awesome interactive video game valentine card! I actually ended up using the card for my dad’s birthday card since he’s recently become addicted to video games. So I extra appreciate the reusability and your thoughtful note! 

u/elleeb8 Thank you for the lovely houseplant card and for sharing your favorite childhood summer memory! It’s so special and I love the idea of you stomping around in the mud and enjoying a warm rainy day with your mom! 

u/keqani Thank you for the absolutely adorable Hello Kitty-tastic card! I loved the words you picked for my name adjectives, all of the cute stickers, the colorful writing, and the animal covered washi tape! Just all around a bundle of joy and you really brightened my day! 

u/haikusbyka Thank you so much for the lovely flower card! Your snail mail stamps were so cute! And your haiku was absolutely lovely - I read it multiple times and it reminded me that spring is always in our hearts.

u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko I loved the cute koala card and really appreciated all the extra joke cards! They were fun to share, and I loved the extra coloring page and holographic animal stickers as well! Thank you so much for the thoughtful happy mail! 

u/christinaaaa29 I can’t thank you enough for your adorable and very kawaii happy mail! All of the stickers really brightened my day and the note cards are almost too cute to use! I love cats and all things cute and this was such a bundle of sunshine to receive. The duck stickers will be treasured forever!

…To be edited and possibly continued in a part 2!

Hello, Penpal friends! I've been busy filling a dumpster with junk from the garage, but I'm taking a break today for happy mail! ❤️

u/Phatlaces for the Easter card! I will have an 🥚-cellant Easter!

u/melhen16 for the Spring and European trivia cards! And for the postcard with a quote from Maya Angelou, it's certainly true!

u/TyeDyeAmish for the tortoise postcard!

u/Thick-Combination785 for the welcome postcard with the parrot and for the flower/butterfly postcard! It's cool that we're birthday buddies.

u/sommeil_sombre for the OKC postcard!

u/pinknewf for the Moscow Kremlin postcard! It's a very eery image, I love it.

u/Hoolu123 for the very creative pink unfolding 3D card! Certainly used up all two of those ounces of the stamp you put on the front. I also got your Halloween card, it's very decorated as well, thank you! I shall live every day like it's Halloween.

u/0mglolwtf for the very decorated postcard inside of a very decorated envelope! I definitely enjoy both. I like that you still put a "stamp" on the postcard even though it traveled inside an envelope. The stickers are cute too.

u/elleeb8 for the beautifully decorated Snoopy Easter card! You have wonderful handwriting as well.

u/NAS-SCARRED_4_LIFE got the postcard from the People's Republic of China! It's so cool. I have not played any Pokemon game that came after Diamond and Pearl. But I'll keep what you said in mind for when I do catch back up!

u/wiifitboard for the postcard from the Busy Beaver Button Museum! I'll check it out when I go to Chicago.

u/CosmicallyConstant for the tiniest letter I've ever received (so cute!) and for the stickers! I will keep the good luck star for when I need it. I'll let you know what I'm studying if you DM me.

u/Budget-Consequence74 for the Studio Ghibli postcard! I'll check out Ponyo.

u/evergrowingexmo for the Christmas card! I never knew there was a year-round Christmas store but it makes sense.

u/sammanthax345 for the NYC postcard! I'm glad you enjoyed the show.

u/d0raking for the Postal Museum postcard!

When I got the mail today... Holy ****. I thought I had a good batch yesterday, but this is crazy and really made my day. Thank you to everyone who has sent me mail. (P.S. this isn't including holiday cards)

u/omggallout - Thank you for the Ghibli, Grave of the Fireflies card. Such a beautiful anime, but one that I can only watch once. I saw recently that the anime Made in Abyss was listed as one of the most traumatic animes, I loved season one, but season 2 did prove to be a bit much. Have you watched it?

u/BeautifulVictory - What a lovely card! Snow is expected to fall here, but just a little bit. It's so fun to watch though! Do you make ceramics?

u/Keeperofthecan - Oh what a beautiful card! The Audrey Hepburn of cats, I love it, thank you! So sorry that your pups have a hard time with fireworks. My neighbor sets them off in the street on July fourth and our 4 dogs line up at my bedroom window to watch the display! I have weird dogs.

u/Youlovingtheworldx - I enjoyed your "tangent" very much, thank you! Fascinating, did you fall down an internet rabbit hole to come across this?

u/duttonemelia - Happy New Year to you! I love this Mickey card! It will be joining all the other Mickey "stuff" on my wall!

u/Sommeil_Sombre - What a pretty card, you're so talented! I love the texture you used on the front. And thank you for the stickers, the pink dinosaur is adorable!

u/on10man1ac - What a unique card! I have to admit that when we were listening to Christmas music on Spotify, I had no idea who Sabrina Carpenter was. I'm familiar with all the others that you listed though! Thank you!

u/catnatomy - What a lovely card, your handwriting is awesome! I think you chose a good word, the world needs more patience. Patience is all to often mistaken for lack of caring. If you aren't bursting at the seams to get something done or answer someone right away, they may feel put off, but patience is caring and thoughtful. Off my soapbox. And thank you for the stickers! (Donuts...yum!)

u/eccentric_bee - Wow! Your card is awesome, wow are you talented! I had to look twice and saw your initials on the artwork! I love sloths. I have become a sloth, it's wonderful. Thank you!

While I listen to The Madness of Viscount Atherbourne by Elisa Braden :)
