I just picked up some new cards! Some say "Life is Good" and have a cartoon dog on them, some say "Just For You" and have a bumblebee illustration, and some say "Just For You" and have a butterfly illustration. I'll write something happy inside. If you would like a card please fill out my form and leave a comment with something happy or emojis that represent happiness to you.

Hey everyone! I want to have a list of all my fellow RAOC friends on here and make sure I send each and every one of you some special birthday mail when it's your birthday! I'm so happy to be an active part of this community and have had so many lovely exchanges with so many of you. We all deserve to be celebrated on our birthdays!!

Below will be the first google form that I've made. I had fun trying to figure it out as I know it's a lot easier for people, but I'm really unsure if it will work, so please let me know if it doesn't!

In addition, if your birthday has already passed for this year I'm happy to send a belated card if you wish (please just message me that you wish to still receive one or make a note on the form) and either way I'm happy making another form next year as well.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfkfW2TyqBkAaFcAhZaPLummE9-2RwpiPNwU9iMWukFeclJbg/viewform?usp=dialog

Edit: With the help of someone else, I was able to get a workable link. I'll figure out how to do this myself before the next offer. Thanks for the ones who helped. <3

Edit2: Apparently, I still need to work on it. There is no address on form. I'll post an update soon.

Edit 3: I finally got it, guys!!!! Now to do on my own next time around, haha. I did one final edit to include a portion for addresses, country of origin, and username so I can keep track of you all. :)

hi people I have a LOT of free time currently so what better way to use it than to send you all some cards!

I have an assortment of postcards from my travels and lots of stickers also! (Including some BIZARRE frog stickers that I didn’t know I was buying until I opened the pack and there they were 🐸 gasp)

please fill out the form

In the form I ask for a song recommendation, when you have filled out the form please comment your favourite lyric below. For example my favourite lyric at the moment is from G-Dragon’s song Too Bad and says “all I want is in arm’s reach” and to me this lyric means that what I hope for is achievable!

And I apologise in advance for delays in the cards reaching you, Australia is basically the end of the earth so be patient with the postal system please 🥹

Just put NA on the second part as I'm entirely too spoonless to create a new form today

Comment here after you filled up the form

Thank you in advance!

A thousand cards, a thousand ties,

Sent with love that never dies.

Across the seas, through skies so wide,

Kindness travels far with pride.

An emerald flair, a shining hue,

u/stillsheryl, this one’s all for you!

(Poem credit to u/Monetmonkey!)

If you would like a butterfly postcard anywhere in the USA, please fill out the form here and comment below!

hi all,

I love sending and receiving snail mail. It makes me so so happy connecting with strangers from all over the world through letters and postcards. I just unfortunately got out of a one year relationship, it was mutual and we are both completely devastated about it. I would absolutely love any kind words, funny jokes, or advice on how to heal from a break up. thank u all in advance!

This is a bit later than I originally planned but I misplaced them and only found them today whilst sorting out!

I do know there were a few more but I can’t find them so I’m sorry if you were one of them :(

-Thank you all of you for the lovely holiday wishes and I hope you all had a great time too!

Hello! Help me procrastinate studying for my exam that I take on Monday! I really don't like the class but it's necessary for my degree so I'll get around to it eventually! In the meantime, I would love to send out eleven cards using THIS FORM, and I'll have it in the mail asap! To get a card, comment to tell me what to write about in your card or what was your least favorite class ever (grade school, college, hobby class, etc)! Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I heard about this thread on instagram haha, and wanted to join! Been kinda bogged down by the pervasiveness and sometimes impersonality of online affairs, and have been becoming more interested in more 'old-fashioned things'. So I wanted to join this subreddit!

My birthday is coming up (on May 26th), so I thought it could be cool to request some birthday cards! I also want to send out some cards myself, either thank you cards for the birthday ones, or even something else!

I used to make handmade cards with my mom, and I want to get back into it! I collected so much stationary over COVID too, so I want to put it to good use! I do attend university away from home, so I may not have as much time to do cards during the school year, but I for sure would love to send and receive some cards in the summer at the very least (I'll probably pre-make some cards so I can still participate and not leave any friends I make hanging haha). I will be done my exams by April 30th, so I will be home to start sending cards in early May.

A short introduction from me, my name is Mya; I'm turning 20;I'm study human biology, psychology and sexual diversity; I love reading (although I don't have too much time for reading other than articles and textbooks haha); I like bugs, frogs, marine life, sanrio, jazz music... and lots more haha.

Thanks for reading!

I just want to say thank you to this community for being so wonderful. I haven't had the opportunity to be as active as I want to be for a couple years now, but I look forward to eventually coming back. (Have y'all seen the new stamps USPS came out with and is still coming out with this year??? AAAHHH!!!)

Anyways, I just wanted to thank you all for being so kind and comforting and COOL. I mean, this community is awesome! I've always done similar RAoC things in my own life growing up (anyone ever read Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli? She was my inspiration.)

When I was in high school, I used to make random punny cards for the holidays to just hand out to my peers and teachers to make people smile. I've always loved to give people tangible, homemade crafts. The fact there's a community here where, it doesn't matter the recipient or their background, just sharing a mutual love of snail mail and handmade writings and arts&crafts, it's just awesome how shared likes can bring people together.

And help in dark times. You were all here for me last year when my mother passed and sent such thoughtful notes, funny jokes, and little fun bits of stationary and stickers that brightened my day. Today is her birthday and I've going through these treasures again, my heart full with the bittersweet feels of her memories and the kindness y'all have shown...

I don't know, I'm rambling, but I just wanted to say thank you so very much and keep being amazing. Love y'all 🩷

Hi all!

I have an assortment of postcards with uplifting messages for offer. These are already stamped and ready to go to US folks. I will do a separate international offer when time permits!

I’ve color coordinated the vintage stamps to the postcard and have 8 cards: * Red * Peach * Yellow * Green * Blue * Purple * Lilac * Beige

To be considered: * Be flaired OR if you are new you have posted an offer or thank you in the past two weeks * Comment below with one of the colors above. “Surprise me” or “any” will not be considered. * I will contact those selected for addresses.

Thanks!

I found my list of those of you who had sent me cards a long while back and I realized I never thanked you. I apologize for how embarrassingly late this is. Thank you to the following lovely people:

• u/catnatomy
• u/allthe_angels
• u/fruitbb

u/moonchica - thanks for the star wars card!! i love this illustrator and the little ewok is adorable 🐻

Posting round 2 of this offer :) Over the years I have accumulated many a free card or ad card. I tend not to send them unless someone says they like them because people can have strong feelings about these (at least over on Postcrossing), and I'm in the business of sending happy mail. So, I'm doing an offer just from my stash of free cards and ad cards. If you're interested, please:

• Be flaired
• Leave a prompt below (bonus points for uniqueness)

I'll reach out to you for your address (please don't proactively DM me -- it messes up my tracking system, womp).

You could get a card from a gallery, restaurant, artist, stationery shop, or something else! The cards come from several US states, Ireland, Finland, and Sweden :)

Hello! I have about 20 postcards up for exchange! I’m willing to send them across the globe. :)

If you’re interested in an exchange, please comment down below and PM me your address and I can send you mine!

PS- I have had difficulties getting postcards delivered in the USA recently, not sure why. To those receiving in the US, please note there might be delays in delivery. I’ll also try shipping some postcards to the US from Ireland this time. :)

Happy mailing! <3

I am offering one card with a snail on it - real snail mail!

To claim:

Be a flaired user somewhere in Europe or the UK
