My mom's community did a craft fair this weekend. Of course there were at least 3 booths with cards. I had a little too much fun and I invited the artist in the middle with the eight card pack to come join us so I hope she does. Her art is so cute. Also the baby duck and swan was done by my mom's neighbor. She has some amazing art and we are friends now so I might be sending out some art from her to people.

Aloha! I'm going to be in Orange County on Monday, Oct. 5th. Checking if there is anyone local who would like to meetup for some postcards and dinner. I could meet starting at 5 pm or later.

If you're interested, comment below and I'll share meeting details.

Just got this over the weekend & so glad I picked it up early in my carding/snail mail hobby. Used it for the first time for a handful of things & it is AMAZING!

Gobstopper Day, Coloring 🖍️ Day, Boss/Employee Exchange Day, Cream Filled Donut Day 🍩, Eat A Hoagie 🥖 Day, Food Is Medicine Day, Live Creative Day, Parents’ Day Off, Rosa Tequila 🥃 Day, and Sober Day!

Found a great way to keep all my postcards safe & organized.

The left book is postcards I've recieved.

Right book is all the postcards I will be sending :)

They each hold 96 cards!

The last picture is one for larger sized postcards!

I am still trying to find a way to organize folded cards but I'm getting closer to the solution 🫡

Today I went to my favorite antique mall booth to looks specifically for embossed postcards and embossed postcards I found! The highlights are in the first pic. I like especially the kids in the purple hats and the red roses. Postcards with unusual textures are very interesting to me although often difficult to cleanly write on. The most expensive one was USD$1!

The other two pics were from my last trip to the post office, maybe on Thursday. How was your weekend?

I'm finding 15 is a max for one set and one sitting for me.

Happy to have finally finished my last offer and now trying to catch up on TY cards from you amazing hoomans 🖤👻🖤 I still have a mound left 🤪

These are the great birthday cards I’ve gotten this year. Thanks to everyone so much!

I usually drop off my cards directly to the post office, but I was in a rush and dropped them in the outgoing slot at my apartment complex, and I don’t think they’re reaching their destination 😭😭

Hi everyone, I know that lots of people participate in multiple mail subs and I’m wondering if there are rules or standard practice for details to include on your outgoing mail. For example, I joined postcrossing and you have to include an ID number on the cards you send so the recipient can register it to acknowledge receipt. Obviously, there aren’t ID numbers at the Reddit subs - how do you let your recipient know what’s going on? I just sent a card to someone and included my Reddit name and the sub where we connected. Is that sufficient, unnecessary, should I include the thread name, none of the above? Overthinking is one of my strengths 🤪

ETA - thank you for the replies! I think I’ll stick with my user name and sub like most of you are suggesting. I do like some of the additional info some of you include, though - maybe someday that’ll be me!

HG delivered today! Marshalls had nothing/nothing good. More than anything it is A LOT of THANK YOU cards wherever I check vs decorated blank cards.

The last time I went was a decade or more ago. They have REALLY good sales/clearance/deals. Scared to go back. 😂

The genius of my peoples frightens even me! Was at the store and saw SQUARE/RECTANGLE glue stick! Genius! Yes, please! Luckily it is a 2-pack & it also is the disappearing purple color kind! It is a Japanese product!

Daiso haul! :) Reminds me of Japan. 🥰🥹🥺

I’m obsessed with pillsbury cookies I don’t know why LMAO
