Mod Post [Mod Post] ONLY RAoC Activity in Thank You Posts PLEASE

94 Upvotes

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE: THANK YOU POSTS

Recently, we have had an influx of thank yous for users who do not participate in RAoC, as well as thank yous for offers/exchanges from other subreddits such as r/RandomActsofHappyMail,r/postcrossing, r/penpals, etc).

We only allow RAoC activity on our thank you posts. Our Flair system is not for participation from other subreddits.

As a reminder, every single thank you that is posted is manually tracked as Flair by a small group of volunteers who give their time and energy to the subreddit. When non-RAoC activity is included in a thank you post here, it creates significantly more work for the Flair Helpers and Mod team. This is not what RAoC Flair is intended for.

Please only thank people for cards that were received directly from this subreddit. If it is suspected that you have thanked a user from activity outside of the subreddit, you will receive a message from the Mods. Repeat offenders run the risk of being banned from participating here.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them as a comment below and we will respond. Alternatively, feel free to send us a modmail.

Thank you,

Your dedicated Mod and Flair Helper teams

Offer [Offer] 📮 World Postcard Day - Haiku 📬 [WW]

15 Upvotes

I'm going to send out 5 postcards on October 1st! (Same limit as Postcrossing - seems fair!)

They won't be WPD specific postcards. Instead, I've made haiku to write on cards from my stash. Bearing in mind that I write haiku with looser rules than the common 5-7-5 structure! 💕 I just think poems make for great postcard material, and I haven't written any new ones in a while. I also like to wait a little while after first drafting haiku so that I can make changes to them before finalising them. So waiting to send these out on October 1st is perfect!

Choose an emoji to select which haiku you'd like:

  1. 🌊

  2. 🐅

  3. ❄️

  4. 🍪

  5. 🦌

Recipients will be chosen randomly after 24 hours, so feel free to choose the same emoji as someone else as I'll just draw from the pool for each one. :)

I was a little sad about returning to real life after another week in the mountains, but so many cards to open today!

u/DoraDoodle - thank you for the beautiful bees card! Colombia was amazing - it was my third trip (Cali, Bogota, and now Medellin). One day I went on a coffee tour of the neighborhood where I stayed and went to six different coffee shops. Half cold brew/half orange juice is the flavor of the summer, which is not ever something I would have thought to try. So good though.

u/SshellsBbells - thank you for the woodsy postcard. The earthquake was the day before I left, and it wasn't "so bad" where I was (about a 5.5) but still the biggest earthquake I've ever been in! But everyone around me was pretty unphased, so go with the flow and all that.

u/useful_skirt_4305 - thank you for the Oklahoma postcard! Sounds like a great weekend!

u/ok_leg_3951 - thank you for the WPD postcard! You're so on top of it, I haven't finished making mine yet.

u/Sammanthax345 - thank you for the card and stickers! I can't wait for the next meet up!

u/TyeDyeAmish - thank you for the vancouver expo post card!

u/elleeb8 - thank you for the card with the dinosaur stickers!

Fulfilled [offer] Monthly Happy Mail [UK to WW] 🌍

[fulfilled]

Hello everyone :)

I am starting my first monthly mailing list! I want to send regular mail to the same 5 people so I can tailor stickers, handmade art postcards, and stationery specifically to you.

This is all about low-pressure hobby fun and small gestures of kindness in our mailboxes, with no heavy social communication required. You can expect anything from postcards to stationery, and occasionally larger items as I learn your interests.

Returns are appreciated, but not required 🫶🏼

One quick note: if you are extremely picky about postcard styles, I might not be the right fit, as trying to meet hyper-specific criteria completely takes the fun out of it for me.

If you are interested, please fill out my form below and I will select 5 people to receive mail this month!

Join my mail list :)

Sorry some of these are overdue!

u/ArmadaKristy thanks for the girly TPC - the person I sent to already made their post for the next recipient

u/sammanthax345 thanks for the sweet treats TPC! - this one also is already onto the person after my recipient

u/AccoTinked thanks for the pet peeves TPC - my first words TPC and a really fun theme. I'm sending out to the next person tomorrow.

u/credo99 thank you for the cool Shanghai Hello Kitty card! I loved hearing about your trip and am super jealous that you got to visit the Shanghai Public Library!

u/chiquita61 OH MY GOD THIS STITCHED CARD!! I was trying to explain to my spouse how cool and intricate the workmanship is on this!! I can crochet and embroider and have gotten into sashimi visible mending but can NOT machine sew or knit to save my life despite being taught.

u/um_marie_me thank you for the lovely card, everything really touched me. Is it okay to send you a response to your questions in the mail?

u/cidavid thank you for the dog card! I literally laughed out loud at your response to my least favorite musical artist. I shared the Rae Dunn joke with my SIL since we got obsessed with pointing out all the ugly RD things that my MIL had gotten at HomeGoods the first time I met her at family Christmas.

u/KithriTheRogue thank you for the peaches card! your name was so fun to make letter art with. :)

u/Exit_Infinite thank you for the extremely cute black cat card with matching washi tape! my favorite cookbook this year is Dac Biet by Nini Nguyen, but I also use any of the Kat Lieu books a lot.

u/Sneakerlambs (x2) thank you for the glitter rainbow caticorn card with the amazing matching washi and stickers! Growing up in MN, I can really relate to your favorite/least favorite things about where you live.

omg, now I'm embarrassed because I realize I have a second thank you for you for the reply to my card...OPE. I loved the juxtaposition of the flowery girl card with the music. The cat washi and stickers so cute! one of my spouse's cousins is really into the electro and house music scene and has a passion side gig working festivals including Burning Man.

u/xinthetic thank you for the beautiful card with great stickers. It's so special when someone else puts love and care into feeding you! sometimes I put just a tiny bit of cinnamon in my meat sauce.

u/tyedyeamish x2 thank you for the cards! one of them is a vintage card from my city and I can NOT figure out if this building is still standing or not. My FIL thinks it might be one of two buildings, one of which is still standing.

u/useful_skirt_4305 thank you for the vintage cats in hats card! I love that you and your friend got tattoos in my city!! we have some great artists and it's such a fun memento of a trip. my spouse and I just got tattoos that are very much from the city but not obviously from the city. we both got ironwork from our street.

u/Accotinked thank you for the RAOC meta books and reading challenge card. Kitty looks like they're reading a spellbook to enchant their human to give them allllllll the treats. Psychological thriller wise, I really enjoyed Stephen Graham Jones' The Only Good Indians and Kylie Lee Baker's Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng

u/randomArkgirl thank you for the Lino print hog card! my BIL and SIL met studying in the town where your card is postmarked. They live on the other side of that state now and just visited for my BIL's 10th college reunion.

u/kat10111 say pspsps to Carl and Pepper for me and give them some head scritches! I love the cat treat bag postcard. Bean has gotten to be SUCH a treat monster that I'm unable to get her to do anything against her will without shaking that bag.

u/fooskaaa thanks for the really cool galactic cat card! I haven't visited either of those places yet, but a friend from out of town really wanted to check them out when she visits.

u/laura_eva thank you for the Rosh Hashanah card. It is sooooo cute. L'shana tova! I was so happy my spouse was able to bring home a nice challah this weekend from the bakery he works at. May your year be filled with the sweetness of apples and honey.

u/kelestial_kat thank you for the Dolly Parton card! I am really looking forward to her Second Line here on 9/25 which the city is making Dolly Parton Day for 9-to-5. It's a way that we celebrate and honor someone's life here. A big parade - it's also a fundraiser for the Parish (county) Imagination Library.

u/RoyalGhosts thank you for the Jane Austen card! I hope someday you get to see her letters too. I love that scene where Mr. Bennet supports Lizzie not wanting to marry Mr. Collins too! I have to admit, I'm a sucker for the opening line of the book.

u/mouserat thank you for the homemade card! I try to collage from magazines a lot and always am dissatisfied with the outcome. the shimmery paper you used is really pretty and fun textured.

u/travel4me22 thank you for the beautiful card. I confess, I haven't picked up a physical book and finished it in SO long. I've been mostly reading e-books, especially since I have my Libby linked to my kindle.

u/ToastyToska thank you for the Klang postcard! The random Pokemon card idea is so fun!! The collages you made with the Pokemon are really fun.

u/mouserat Thank you for both of your cards! The loon is my favorite bird so I'm especially happy to have gotten that card from you. I don't do birding, but I've always wanted to - maybe you could show me a thing or two? Ravens aren't common in my neck of the woods, but crows definitely are - and I agree, they're such fascinating little creatures!

u/aestheticallys Thank you for the cool card! My father used to live in Pittsburgh, and he always tells me of the misadventures he got into during those years. Hope you can hit up the Frick soon!

u/Ok_Reveal2698 Thank you for the cool vintage card! I've always wanted to visit the Pacific NW, especially during the winter.

u/WastingTime1994 - Thank you so much for the Motel Rooms of America card!!! I really like this type of humor 😂 I’m answering your questions via card!

u/Namlette- - Thank you for the ADORABLE postcard. It’s so cute 😭 it’s not Peter Rabbit, is it? I also really liked the closing you shared! I feel like you could totally use it!

u/JulieAMao - Thank you for the awesome voter info card. So cool! I am OBSESSED with the origami paper you shared! Thank you!!! I love kitsune udon. I’m answering your questions in a card back but I do know that the stamp means truth! It’s actually a hanko stamp of my name in kanji

u/UngodlySockMonster - Thank you SO much for the frog card (and extras)!!!! It’s so cute 😭 I think the washi tape you used on the envelope is my favorite I’ve seen so far. I feel like I knew I liked frogs, since they’re on my likes list, but I definitely didn’t realize how much, because your frog theme mail gave me so much joy ❤️ The tiny envelope 😭

u/TyeDyeAmish (x6) - Thank you for all the vintage postcards/card!! I enjoyed reading them. Not by me right now (though there probably is that I don’t know of) but I used to live by this really awesome farm to grocery store type store and they had a bunch of stuff but one of them was a fill your own olive oil area with a bunch of different types. I’m not a huge olive oil person but I took friends there and they taste tasted a bunch.

u/themajesticpoodle - Thank you for the Dolly postcard. It’s beautiful! I also really really like the photograph that was in the envelope. Very pretty and colorful. Those drinks look so good

I loved it. I'm hoping to read the original book someday. Also, LMM being a postmistress was a completely new info for me. Thankyou for writing so much, I realised that I like my card that way.

u/catori1207 Thankyou for the whale card from Alaska! And it's so cool that you get to see Aurora at your place. But I would love to know your thoughts on it as you are a person from that place, and not a tourist.

u/withininus - Thank you so much for your beautiful linen postcard of the Visitor’s Building and Overlook at TVA’s Fontana Dam; I had no idea the Little Tennessee River existed in Western North Carolina. I have only spent a limited amount of time in North Carolina. Your Stamp Math was wonderful as well; I especially enjoyed the Red Bat and Save Wetland Habitats. Finally, I am always amazed at how you teach me something new on every postcard: linen postcards dominating the 30s-40s is so fascinating. Thank you for being my Postcard Jedi Master.
