Maxmax09 Thank you for the New Year postcard! I hope we continue our yearly exchanges for the Lunar New Year :)

bluedecemberart Thank you for the handmade Lunar New Year card, goodies and wishes! I love the various layers of paper you overlapped to create a festive image of red, gold and fireworks.

StephanieTay Thank you for the lovely 2023 Rabbit card with the tiger retreating into the corner :). Can't wait to try the passion fruit black tea you sent, and love the bunga kantan mini sheet stamp! It's always so nice to receive surprise cards from you, and likewise, I hope the Year of the Rabbit is a great year for you!

ninajyang, shadesoflanternhill, ribeyecut, wabisabi_sf What a great way to start the new year with a RAoC meetup! Thank you for thinking of me and sending me this postcard!

ninajyang Thank you for the postcard featuring the beautiful natural landscape of Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng! Glad to hear you had a lot of fun on your trip! Your postcard is motivating me to visit Vietnam, and it's only a two-hour flight away :D

amyt13 Thank you for the Connemara postcard! The landscape does look quite different from the usual green fields I have in mind when I think of Ireland. There are so many wonderful natural places in this part of the world that is most convenient to reach by car, so I should really get my driving licence asap to see more of the world!

xlez Thank you for the Doraemon exhibition postcard! I like the old copperband butterflyfish stamp you used. I used to see it all the time as a kid (it was the definitive stamp at that time) so it's a particularly nostalgic stamp. It's amazing that you made kimchi by yourself!!! Now there's so many dishes you can make with so much kimchi :D. Did you follow an online recipe? It's great to see you back on RAoC once in a while, and all the best for these couple of months!!

DianaPenPal Thank you for the Bern postcard! I think it's interesting how "centre of tourism" is written on the postcard, because of all the Instagram photos I see of Switzerland, I find that Bern isn't the most featured!

plushestpossum x2 Thank you for the postcards featuring the Chinatown Year of Rabbit postmark and Caloundra lighthouse postmark. The concept of this year's rabbit stamps are great! I love how they really incorporate Chinese culture into the stamps this year. The rabbit postcard design itself is so lovely as well and perfect to collect matching stamps postmark on the white rabbit silhouette area! Love the summery island themed stamps with the lighthouse postmark as well. I haven't peeled off the protective backing paper yet, so I wonder what it is about this postcard you chose as a joke for :).

postfemininefemail Thank you for the cute バリィさん summer festival postcard with the lovely foiled stamps! It's totally understandable to spend too much money at the post office! I hope you got some nice stamps and postcards as souvenirs, and most of all, I hope you had the best time in Japan!

Monetmonkey x2 A big thank you for such a welcoming piece of mail! Love the self-printed CNY card, foiled Chinese washi tapes and the Royal Mail MogCherie one — I wanted to order some of her stuff on Etsy here to save on shipping but I see that this washi design isn't listed anymore :(. I wish my desk looked as neat as the Penpaling Paula postcard image, but unfortunately it's a mess because there's not enough shelves and drawers in my room to keep everything neatly away 😂. Also, thanks for the washi samples because I only brought two rolls with me as you will see on my envelope that I sent to you last Saturday (hope you've gotten it?)!
