"My heart is a fancy place [...]" (Bernadette Mayer)

I have been showered with sweet words and gorgeous cards and it makes my heart sing. So thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to send a card to me. It is much apprecciated!

u/lonelytwatwaffle - thank you so much for your super awesome Women of Star Trek handmade card with those electric pink, gold and red lightning flashes all over. It is badass and it smells so good, too. Thank you also for the cacti stickers, I love them and Ive already decked out my planner with them. Fingers crossed for your return to uni, I hope it all goes well and they have a good safety plan in place with testing and stuff. Here higher educa

I dont know about you, but I LOVE a great muesli for breakfast and to celebrate that I made a card that says "I LOVE MÜSLI" . It is ready to be sent out to the first person proclaiming their equal appreciation of this fine breakfast food. Just comment below.

Bear with me, the title is cryptic, but it makes sense youll see. I went to the post office yesterday to get new cute stamps for international letters (cards in envelopes), but I chose to go to a different PO, because the one I usually go to is super crowded atm. There the guy only had one set of stamps and these are very weird modern ones called "two greys" and they feature an optical illusion of sorts. I think they are hideous, but since I needed stamps, I bought them. Now Im offering them up for your pleasure. ;)

Please comment here why "two greys" is the stamp for you and Ill pick 5 people at random (if there are more entries than stamps) this evening. Also let me know what type of card

Hey guys, Ive been MIA for a while due to moving house, changing jobs and just going through some personal stuff, but now calmer seas seem to be ahead and Id love to celebrate that by sending out some cards. I bought these pretty watercoulour cards with quotes by Morgan Harper Nichols on them. Theyre very calming and inspirational, so I thought Id share with whomever that speaks to right now.

To claim just comment below with your favourite quote (if you have one) or your fav colour (if you have one) and then PM me your details.

Aww gosh, youre just the sweetest! Thank you so much for the cute PALentine's Day card you made and sent to me. I love the frenchie among the flowers and the cute rainbow heart centre. Youre such a sweetheart and amazing yourself. I love exchanging with you on here. It brings me so much joy. So thank you once again!

Your card just arrived, the date says it needed shy of a month to get here. Wow! But it arrived in pristine condition and I think I can even send the stamp back to you as it has not been marked in any form.

The mini cosy card of the dalmatian and cat with the butterfly is so cute indeed and I love the matching envelope. Makes me feel all warm and happy. Thank you so much for sending it to me!

Hahaha, not to worry. I dont think there are dumb questions, only ones you havent found the answer to yet and sometimes all you need to do is to say it out loud (or write it down) and suddenly voila you have your answer. Indeed, we dont write the country domestically. But I always write down the count

Wohooo, thank you so very much for the amazing pastel swirley card with golden glimmer. It looks like a slice of agate and is mesmerising. I love it! Also yay star wars stickers, thats so cool! Thank you for sending them to me. :) My fav character of the older movies is Chewie, hes so cute and I really like Ray of the new ones. Do you have a fav?
Im sorry your mom is torpedoing your kitty feeding plans. Not her kitties, not her rules! But I hope you could already set her straight and wont have to fight for your crackers ever again.

u/Monetmonkey - thank you so much for the cool biketart card and telling me about your most beautiful moment in the last 3 weeks. The stationary set you were gifted sounds so beautiful. How thoughtful. I adore your calligraphy of my name on both the envelope as well as the card. That is just beautiful! And the washi even matches the stamps, youre next level when decorating your envelopes and Im here for it. :)

​

u/roboticdumpling - u sent me a super cool and cute hand-made card with really neat stickers and washi. I love the colourful mix of things and especially the hippo washi you used on the envelope. How cute! Thank you so much for the well wishes for the new year. I hope

I posted on the main sub a few months back about a breakup that had left me devastated and the outpouring of love I received from the members touched me so much. Its been 4 months and this weekend were finally cutting all ties by moving out of our shared rental flat. Its been a very emotionally trying time and the one thing that kept me hopeful and happy aside from my IRL friends that were by my side was going to the mailbox and receiving beautiful, thoughtful and just plain lovely card after card after card.

Im not ashamed to say that I cried almost every time a new card came, they were just so wonderful and nice and uplifting. Reading all your lovely words made me realise that there are

u/lonelytwatwaffle - thank you so much for the cool "Zeroville" card. I must admit I had never heard of this book and after googling it Im quite intrigued by the themes it adresses. So thank you for broadening my horizon. :)
Your New Years Celebration with your cat at home sounds so cosy and nice. I love that. I had a relaxed and quiet evening with my sis and her housemate, too. We made yummy food, played boardgames and then toasted to the New Year with some alcohol free bubbly.

u/AtTheCodfishBall - gosh, I just love your username. It rolls right off the tongue. :) Im honoured that Im your first card to Germany. :) It was super quick, too as it reached me today (20.01.21), so only 12

Hey everyone,

Ive got 5 4 2 cute clamshell shaped cards that are pink and glittery that I would love to send out to flaired users. The only thing you need to do is claim one and then Pm me your address as well as a writing prompt.

Your gorgeous glittery christmas card found its way to me yesterday and I love having my christmas cheer extended like this. Thank you so much for the warm wishes and the cute decorations as well as the lovely snowflake stickers you included. I love all of it! Oh and those stamps with the pears and the red spirit playing in the snow are the cutest.

u/amyt13 (x2) - Amy, you are a truly amazing human being and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness these past months. You sent me another two gorgeous, truly special cards, some tea and the most wonderful christmas wishes. Thank you! Happy new year to you, too and yes, lets hope for travel opening up again. If the stars align for it, Ill be in Ireland come May and I would love nothing more right now than to have tea with you face to face if youre up for breaking the anonymity of RaoC.
That pretty wintery scene with the little school building looks so peaceful and kinda otherwordly, so yeah it could well be in Iceland. Who knew the Irish hills could look like this. Its a great picture

I came back from spending christmas break with my parents (necessary precautions for safety taken of course) and found an overwhelmingly beautiful pile of cards on my desk. I spent the next half hour reading through so many warm wishes, kind words and hilarious messages, marveling at the beauty of these cards and just appreciating this community so very much. Thank you from the depth of my heart to all of you here!

​

u/Brokenwings87 - you sent me a sweet handmade card and artsy xmas ornament picture and I love your message of staying safe but still having fun. Its so easy to forget that even socially distanced we are not alone and we can still have fun at home in a safe way. Ta

Update: All spots plus some have been claimed. Form is closed. Thank you all!

InCoWriMo has been mentioned over on the meta sub and I thought it sounded really great to try and write a card a day in February.

If youd like to get a card from me and dont mind maybe having to wait til March to receive it (depending on when I write to you in February) - great!

Ive created a google doc for this, so please head on over there and fill it out: Mothmail form

Ill close the form once Ive received a good amount of answers, but 28 is a lot, so go t
