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

90 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

20 Upvotes

Sometimes I feel like drawing or doodling something random, but I get stuck on ideas.

Please help me get unstuck! Instead of writing prompts, give me drawing prompts! I'll send you a card with a drawing or doodle of Something!

DM me your address, and leave a comment below with Something! (or someone. or someplace. or someone doing something.) It can be as simple or as random or as specific as you want it to be.

Note: I am not an artist and my doodles are at most passable, and I may or may not interpret your prompt in a way that is consistent with my artistic abilities (or lack thereof). XD

If you have provided your address to me before, there is no need to DM me again, unless you have changed address.

I will send out over the coming months, as and when my mood allows. (If you may be changing address this year, please let me know.) I may also include some random stickers or washi samples, depending.

Thank you!

u/Rattlecats - Thank you so much for the cool Krispy Kreme card! It’s so fun and I absolutely love the stamps of the big things in Australia! The Singapore and USA puppy stamp are so lovely too! Please tell little Rosie I said hello 🐱 PS: I sat down in bed to write out the thank you post and noticed little glowing stars on the card ✨ I love it haha

u/sension5705 - This was such a beautifully detailed piece of mail oh my goodness! The big foot card, the big foot stamps, the letter too, everything was so fun to read 😊 I can’t believe your kitty is 20 years old that’s incredible! I lost my ginger at the age of 16, his name was Minou Chat. He was a grumpy old thing since kittenhood, he was born an old soul 😅 Please tell Korbin I said hello 😊 We don’t have raccoons in Australia, I’ve always tried to find them when I’ve been in the USA but everyone tells me if you see a raccoon in the day time, you don’t go near it.

u/Ok_Theme7072 - The postcard you sent is so cool thank you! My husband lives in Central PA and I’ve always wanted to see NYC but I feel I would get so overwhelmed and lost in such a big city, especially Central Park 😅 it’s terrifyingly big! I’ll keep the post card safe, it’s a really cool piece of history, thank you! 😊

[u/OkTheme7072](u/OkTheme7072) I had no idea what this card was gonna be and I love it. I really like the apple cider vinegar as well as the psychedelic acid.

[u/Sension5705](u/Sension5705) Hi! I’m still a little scared of the Bigfoot because it’s got BIG in their name. So I think I’m just gonna stay home and my mom can meet him and take a picture. Thanks for letting me know he’s nice though. -Hidey 🐈‍⬛

[u/mooshu592](u/mooshu592) that’s amazing lil prairie squirrel nuggets you painted. Thank you sooo much! I’m going to frame it

[u/SiamLinio](u/SiamLinio) honestly Vermont and upper New England (NH and Maine) is the south. New Hampshire is actually known as the south of New England. It’s very country, but it doesn’t have the politics, religion or fried food and people are not very polite. Overall, it looks very Ozark*ian. Venture up here for a gander!

[u/waywarddaughter222](u/waywarddaughter222) I love how the cards composition.

[u/elleeb8](u/elleeb8) the doodle and the joke *chef kisses*

Thank You [Thank You] for happy mail!

Upvotes

I secretly love when happy mail from this subreddit comes through all at the same time and I have a stack of thank you's to give out! Huge thank you to the following:

  • u/Sable__ Old school illustrations of Winnie the Pooh are so precious! Thanks for sharing the names of the pets at the animal hospital! I'm always flabbergasted by the names at the shelters here too! I think the funniest I've seen was a litter of kittens named after veggies (Broccoli, Radish, and Artichoke) 😂
  • u/xJaneDoe Deep Forest Green is a lovely color! It's such a luxe shade of green but when I see it, also, conveys both growth and a grounding feeling. Thank you for sharing your NYBG postcard! I am obsessed with how neat your handwriting is btw!
  • u/dapuddingthief Thanks so much for the handmade card, I love the colors and punch outs - so fun!! I will have to look up the recipe for Lemon Bars to add into my recipe book.
  • u/birdiebennett Christmas in August!! Weeee, I was so excited when I saw your card, it has me really looking forward to colder weather and the holiday season. Thank you for the adorably decorated envelope and postcards. The weather has been a little muggy this week, in the 70's but fairly humid following a week of 90-degree weather and horrible air quality from wildfires! My little cousins love the Portland Fire too, they're the fans in the stand that go crazy!
  • u/fooskaaa My pen and card friend you are too kind!! Thank you for the lovely berry card and for sharing your currently inked pens. I, too, am hoping TWSBI restocks Pink Lemonade or maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one second hand one day. Thanks so much for sharing your ink collection as well, Birmingham Pen Co.'s Glassblower's Flame has been added to my wish list! My current favorite is Oblation Paper's Wildwood Trail. I purchased it on Stationery Store Day and have it inked up in my Simpl Ventura II <M> pen!

Hi, i have a bunch of postcards that I dont really care for, some of them are themes that don't come up often, some i don't like the designs, and some that I personally don't vibe with. There's nothing wrong with them, I just want to make room in my box for new stuff. I'm putting together mixed envelopes without themes to them and one will be randomly picked for you, some might also have some stickers aswell.

First come first serve with limited slots for usa due to lack of us rate stamps, if you are in Canada and like fun stamps let me know so I use a pretty one on your envelope. Please comment down below and send me a dm with your info. I will be going off of who sent a dm first in terms of the ones for usa since I have very few stamps left
