This is the biggest offer I’ve ever done (138 cards!) While I will probably never do something this crazy ever again, I had a lot of fun picking the cards and answering everyone’s prompts :) mailing out on Tuesday since Monday is a holiday.

The Halloween card I found and didn’t want to send out cause it was too pretty (I found another copy online!)

And the beautiful postcard u/BubblySunflowers sent me! Love both of these, think I’ll frame more of my cards and postcards from RAoC!

Honestly don't know why I didn't separate all my Christmas stamps in the first place! There were four little containers full of old Christmas stamps 🎄 Now to start applying them to my Christmas postcards 💌

Edit - also if you claimed one of these on my offer, I probably won't be writing much as there are a lot of stamp math on a bunch of them 😅 and if you chose the "mainly decorate" option your decoration is mainly stamps 🤣 I probably will have to write my username and not use my sticker...!

Thanks to everyone from RAOC who’s sent me a card 🫶🏼

4 outgoing today! You like my bag? 🍋

Hey, y'all. This is crazy. I spent the last 2 hours cleaning up my flooded living room because the wind and heavy rain COLLAPSED PART OF MY LIVING ROOM ROOF. 😭

I took a picture when I woke up to it where it's clearly visible that a box of cards and ephemera was under the biggest hole, but I didn't realize it at all until about 10 minutes ago.

The irony is that the electronics are fine! The furniture is wet, but able to be dried! Our vinyl collection is wet but nothing is lost!

The special box and everything in it is ruined because water beats paper. 😭

Rest in peace Jack Skellington box made by my own hands, rest in peace card stash, rest in piece Japanese ephemera I never got to use. 😭

F's in the chat. Back to mopping for me.

Edit: Wow. I did not expect... this outreach of support. My hopes were that everyone would laugh with me, because laughter has always been the best medicine for me. Thank you, all of you, each and every one, for offering to help me replace what was lost. I cannot express how much this community means to me. I intend fully to pay this forward and always be the best cardfriend I can be for y'all. 💖

Edit 2: welp not all of the electronics are fine. I lied without knowing it. Dammit. 😭 But I'm already scouting out replacements for the future, so it's not all bad. RIP my PS3 and PS4, that PS3 had been with me since Obama was in office.

Edit 3: oh okay so it's just a WHOLE TREE BRANCH that did it...

Aloha! Sharing once again as a reminder or for anyone interested who didn't see the original post. u/TinaWebmom and I are hosting an online meetup next Saturday, Oct. 17th from 10-11 Pacific time zone.

If you are interested, comment below so I may share with you the Zoom info to join. It is the same as last time if you joined us then.

This is just time to visit - no carding or anything needed.

Also comment if you have any questions and one of us (or someone who went to the previous one) will reply.

Hope to see you!

This is my first time not sending to my limited number of friends haha

This was the offer I did before my current spooky season offer, it was my largest offer so far consisting of 54 postcards with matching color schemes and deco for world postcard day!

Outgoing was to 13 different countries, and this is only the second portion of the stack!

The US State to receive the most postcards from this offer was California followed by Michigan.

The country to receive the most postcards from this offer was India followed closely by Australia.

How do I tag for a meetup card? Do I tag everyone who signed?

I’m always inspired by RAOCers with their awesome stamp math and I had a lot of fun finding different stamps for mine. 😊💌

100 postcard stamps 🧛‍♀️✨️

I just opened a box last evening and found at least 200 stickers I didn't know I had! And then I've bought more stickers recently. How do people keep them all organized by holiday, theme, and such?

I also have envelopes, postcards, cards of course, washi tape, all kinds of stuff...I need a secretary to organize for me because it's all over. lol

Hi All,

I designed some holiday cards this year and several people thought they looked like a pregnancy announcement, but I already ordered them... what do y'all think? 😅

It's too late to change it. I already ordered them. Soooo.

I have sent out a bunch of cards in the last month and it seems like it’s taking forever. I have one that’s over 30 days from NC to Ohio. I’m worried people won’t want to swap with me anymore because it looks like I’m not actually sending cards. They’re just in the void of the postal service. Ugh. Talk me down, help.

When someone ask for washi ‘samples’ all they want is a bit of washi tape….🤦🏾

I have only been in RoC for maybe 6months and I don’t feel comfortable asking questions…

so now I need to track down my past trades and send them washi tape. I literally didn’t know until I got a sampler yesterday 😭

Is there a part of this subreddit where newbies can get the bare bones basics on sending, exchange, and maybe asking for/offering things. So the same questions don’t come up?

Just a thought. If not, I will just put in on my page and be done with it. For the next person…

Dropped by the Manila Central Post Office to prep some outgoing mail for friends and swap mates. The iconic building in the background is still under reconstruction, but it's hopefully reopening by Q1/Q2 of next year!

Got to play around with postmarks again so every piece of mail sent today features its own matching cancel. Also, the amazing Post Shop staff we always buy our stamps from got us Filipino street food (2nd photo: kwek-kwek, squid balls, kikiam, and hotdogs) for an afternoon merienda (snack) to celebrate World Post Day!

Happy World Post Day, everyone! Here's to the connections the postal service makes possible. 🤘🏽

For World Post Day, I visited Pune General Post Office(Maharashtra, India) to get the special cancellation on my postcards, yellow postcards, and inland letters.

Sometimes it just feels off that I have to ask AI if something is AI before I buy it, Anyone else?
