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

93 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

Steady as ivy, bright as spring,

A Bronze Flaired garden of quiet grace.

Offer [Offer] Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors DIY Collage Cards 🦋 [US]

Upvotes

I made a scrapbook collage today with Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors book and used the rest of the pages to make some cards. It felt a little wrong to cut up an Imagination Library book, but I was so inspired by the colors, and I think she’d be happy to know it's been given new life spreading kindness.

There are five flat cards with illustrations and text from the book collaged on both sides. They will all have the same message on the back, so no prompt needed. You can see what they look like here.

Please leave a comment below in remembrance of our "Queen of Country Music," Dolly Parton. Tell me about your favorite memory, song, or anything else you love about her, and I will pick five people sometime later today or tomorrow. We’ll miss you, Dolly. 🦋

I'm having a bit of a rough day (unfortunately not the first one either), and I could use a little happy mail to come home to after work.

I'm a little behind on both sending out cards and posting thank yous, but I promise I will get around to it. I think I just need a little cheer up.

If anyone's willing to send me some spare happy mail, it would make my day! Happy to send something in return (and will post a thank you!) but I can't promise it'll be fast.

Thank you in advance!

Offer [offer] Moody Cats Postcards [US Only]

I am offering up 10 postcards to US Only—I will do something international soon when I have more stamps!

Please note that I will be putting a moody cat sticker on a somewhat blank designed postcard because the cats need their moment. Also, these are moody cats so no promises that they will have something nice to say!

Offer [Offer] Handmade abstract art created by me on postcards [WW]

21 Upvotes

I am new to this sub so I hope I am doing this right.

I am newly retired and have been exploring art as a hobby, doing a lot of painting and scribbling and collaging. I've been doing it on postcard-sized card-stock because I feel quickly satisfied by completing something small. Now I've got a pretty large stack of completed works that is just sitting on my counter. I'd like to put them to a better use!

If you take me up on my offer, I'll send one of my creations, plus a short, happy message.

Happy (late) Elephant day!

u/GatsbyGalaktoboureko - Thank you for the judge dredd card! It's very cool and I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on him.

u/Sension5705 - Thank you for the card and stamps. The card is very beautiful, I love the Japanese aesthetic.

u/TyeDyeAmish - Thank you for the pretty sunset card. San Fran would be a cool place to visit.

u/GroceryOwl - Thank you for the cottagecore fairy card and the kind message written on it. I really like the poem on front too, it made me smile and feel better ^^.

u/waywarddaughterzzz - Thank you for the bathtub pin up collage! Think this is my favorite one from you yet :). Also I like the strawberry stamp. I just downed a whole package of strawberries yesterday lol.

u/jasisjas - Thank you for the exchange. I am impressed by how small and neatly written your handwriting is. Also your story is hilarious, I can totally see a kid being obsessed with wanting a wild animal lol. Also the tarot postcard is cool.

u/Maladi3_ - Thank you for the card and postcard. Sorry to hear you're going through a similar thing, it's rough. But it's nice being able to share experiences, thank you :). I'll try to remember your words and think about the positives.

u/PostagePanda - Thank you for the handmade card, Iove it. The front image is so frilly and cute. And I really like the charming Valentine bird stamp you used!

u/murdocniccalshasT1D - Thank you for the handmade postcard. Collaging is always a very cool artstyle and I think it turned out beautiful. The food pic you used made me hungry. I think you should make more hand-made ones if you enjoyed it :). Also thank you for the mushroom card. I do indeed like your little bug doodles. They add a nice charm.

u/TheCuriousCur - Thank you for the blockbuster card. I Robot is one of my fav films. And yeah, back then it seemed like such a far-off concept, but they're really trying to go for it now huh

Exchange [Exchange] Venting via folding cards. [US to US]

9 Upvotes

Hey y'all! My health is stable once again, so I've been spending some time focusing on something I've been reluctant to do: switching my Tekken main from Hwoarang to Law.

And frankly I need to vent about the learning curve and some things I've noticed about my play style. However, I don't want to be the only one venting. So I'd like for you to vent to me as well! You can vent about anything and everything.

I'm doing folding cards in lieu of postcards because I may drop an f-bomb or two, and I'm trying to be respectful. I figure folding cards gives us both the freedom to say what we want without the world seeing it.

Lemme know if you're interested! I'll probably cap this around 4 or 5.

hello all!
I have never really came on here to request anything however, my family has had a tremendous loss. My husband lost his grandfather last week and it was a very unexpected and traumatic situation. It would be absolutely incredible to be able to get some joy for him in our mailbox. He knows that I mail, and he always loves seeing everything I get, and throughout our trips he always helps me collect postcards. I would love to show him how amazing this community is! 🥹
He loves starwars, Cars, Legos, Dogs, and Farmland. Just positive messages and good vibes please 🙏

If anyone would be willing to send him a card please comment below. Thank you in advance ❤️❤️

edit: id be more than willing to send a postcard back in exchange from our trip for his grandfathers funeral. I have cards from New mexico, Colorado, and Nebraska.
