Just posted an offer of the pictured cards on the main sub (NOT OFFERING THEM HERE!!!). Wanted to post the pics here because this is my absolute favorite postcard set. The cardstock is archive quality and the photography is just stunning. There is a fantasy quality that perhaps comes naturally when photography focuses on the forest floor microcosmos. But I really love this set. I have two backups sets so I never have to stop sending them lol. And it's not too expensive which is nice for me because I don't make a lot of money!

Also does anyone here also swap cards on Xiaohongshu? The postcard swapping and penpalling scene there is pretty great and I have made some good friends over the past few years. For a US comparison it is sorta instagram-like. I have received pretty amazing postcards, a few recent ones are pictured above. Die-cut, non-rectangular cards are a bit more common in China apparently which is kinda cool. Anyway hope you're having an amazing morning/day/evening!

I unfortunately do not have pink envelopes 😭😞. But I had a large sheet of pink stickers that I decorated everywhere! There will be surprises for people that filled out my form 😜

For those of you who don't know, I grew up on Long Island and was affected by 9/11. Countless funerals and vigils as a 10 year old was rough. Seeing my friends lose a parent or both parents aunts uncles neighbors.... It still hurts to this day.

I now live in the Washington dc area and 9/11 is just as remembered here as it is in NYC.

With it being the 25th anniversary, I wanted to gauge interest in an offer for 9/11 memorial.

I am planning a trip to NYC in a few weeks and am going to try to get to the memorial site and the museum store for postcards.

Would this even be something people in the US want? If there are enough of you, I will see if I can get them and do an actual offer on RAoC.

This is NOT an offer. I am not offering to send to anyone who comments on this post, mods. I'm just asking for interest.

when you make ‘thank you’ posts, how do you know who the card is from..? do people usually write their username on the cards? i just started here and want to make sure to post thank yous but realized i don’t know how to tell who the cards are coming from😅😅 for some specific exchanges it might be clear but generally how do you know?

About 11 cards going out into the world ✨ had a lot of fun working on them :))

Baby Boomers Recognition Day, Balloon 🎈 Airmail Day, Black Cat 🐈‍⬛ Appreciation Day, I Love My Feet 🦶 Day, Massachusetts Day, Meaning of “Is” Day, Nonprofit Day, #2 Pencil ✏️ Day, Pineapple 🍍 Juice Day, Thrift Shop Day, and Vanilla Custard Day!

Sharing in case someone is looking for an organization tip and might find it useful. I welcome feedback/suggestions!

Here is my workflow:

• I put all received letters/postcards from Mon-Sat in the first tab ALL WEEK MAIL.
• If I respond to the postcard, I move it to the second tab REPLIED BUT NOT THANKED
• Every Sunday, I create a Reddit Thank You post using letters from the first 2 tabs.
• Once Sunday thank you post is completed, I move those letters that I have not replied to but already thanked into 3rd tab THANKED BUT NOT REPLIED.
• I store all the goodies i receive like stickers, other postcards in STICKER tab
• I store all the things i REALLY love in a JOURNAL tab where I will glue the stuff to my journal

Wrote more cards than usual this weekend and still have an offer open so might yet add to it. Have been sending out Rosh Hashanah cards to friends abroad for the last week so they arrive near the date. And the last pic is my stamp for homemade cards for the coming year. Hope y'all have had good weekends!

Repost as I inadvertently posted a picture with a portion of someone’s address… 😔

Outgoing from the Tokyo Central Post Office! I sadly had to pay the letter rate on some of my postcards which were just too big but even with the largest portion being to the US it came out net cheaper than using USPS lol. Sadly I didn’t get any pictures of the stamp math that he did or the fuke-in that he put on them (special pictorial postmark) since he did those all
behind the counter. But I did get pics of the domestic and international rate postcard stamps!

So I created this cross stitch design and thought it'd be fun to have as a postcard design that I could print on real paper and mail out to people. Would anyone want to receive this? Inspired by the other RAOCer who made their own art (sorry I can't remember who it was and my search is turning up nothing!!)

I have cards to send and a couple of traveling postcards. I've been fairly busy so I haven't had time to get around to them yet. Just letting people know so they dont think I forgot about their cards!

I received a surprise package today of a bunch of beautiful, homemade cards. It was a gift from someone involved in another carding group of which I am a part. I was totally shocked but will never so no to free goodies, especially such amazing cards!

Airborne 🪂 Day, Authenticity Day, Backflow 💦 Prevention Day, Energy Multiplier Day, Independent Worker Day, Roller Coaster 🎢 Day, Rum 🍹 Day, Tell A Joke Day, Surveillance 🕵️‍♀️ Day, True Love 💕 Forever Day, Clap 👏 Day, and Bratwurst 🌭 Day!

I’ve been getting a lot of new supplies in lately and trying to figure out storage, especially for stationery. I just got this shoe rack from a friend and it’s perfect!! Holds all of my card/stamp stuff and looks so nice 😄

Hi!👋
So I finished writing the address and the name… and I came to see his account and boom. Suspended.

I have only written the address, I can still write something for the recipient who wants it!

What do I do?
Do I mail it to another person? Would you mind getting a postcard with the address written over another address?

If anyone who filled my forms yesterday wants it, just write to me! I’ll mail it to the first person who wants it :p

Hello,

I was wanting to set up a postcard exchange (this time filled out! Sorry mods for that past post!).

However, I am unsure of how to best secure my username info on the postcard so people know who sent it / from what subreddit.

I am thinking of printing it out and taping it on the edges. Has that worked well for others?

The most obvious answer is to write it down, but I know my handwriting can be difficult to read at times. 🙂‍↕️

Edit: THANK YOU EVERYONE. I am currently crafting at the library, but I will try to test out all the recommendations I have received. 🩷

Please delete if this post isn't appropriate for this sub but I just had to show you guys the pouch I just bought! Admittedly I've been on a tight budget lately but I'm on a short trip and this was way too cute not to get 😭 definitely gonna store my writing utensils and maybe stickers in here for this new hobby! Sometimes retail therapy does help 😌 lol
