I was in NYC for a few days and returned to two dozen cards! To these lovely folks, thank you so, so much for sending me lots of care, support and happy thoughts in the mail. Thank you for the podcast recs, the jokes, the kind words and all of the daisies (and other flowers), sloths, cats, elephants and space-themed stuff you sent my way, whether they were stickers you enclosed or decorations on your cards & postcards. It's rather overwhelming to be on the receiving end! I will never forget this kindness. Group pic with my mom's roses

u/Ashnetta - Thank you for the fun St. Patrick's Day postcard!

u/DaenerysWon - Thank you for the Georgia O' Keeffe postcard. The yellow washi &pen ink and the cute stickers made for one sunshine-y piece of mail!

u/ninajyang x 2 - Thank you for the 2 food postcards. (Now I want some cheese… hehe.) I do the same, I'll sometimes send mail because it's an activity that sorta brings me back to myself, if that makes sense. Will check out This Podcast Will Kill You!

u/littlemermaidxx - Thank you for the elephant postcard with the elephant joke! That's a cute username stamp and I loved the gold foiled space washi as well.

u/Arrow5555 - Thank you for the illustrated postcard and the musical artist jokes! :) I like the vintage stamps and the fun little stickers.

u/drguinea - Thank you for the cute cat & moon postcard and for sharing a few lines you read recently. Making a request was definitely a way of allowing myself to receive love, care and support. Was that a Lisa Frank sticker? So fun!

u/ambykittykat - Thank you for the supportive Em & Friends postcard and for your kind words and reminders. They helped me feel less alone. I also loved the frog sticker that says "It's a good world because you're in it." Right back at you, friend.

u/truthfulsnack - Thank you for the NOLA postcard you decorated with stickers, and for your podcast recs! These all sound interesting and I'll check them out soon.

u/libertyprogrammer - Thank you for the Women in Art postcard! I didn't know there was such a set. The postcard you sent me was just perfect for my magazine background :) I loved seeing all the vintage stamps as well.

u/Primaryloon - Thank you for the gorgeous handmade card with florals, bright colors and the very beauuutiful paper! Thank you for sharing the Emily Dickinson poem as well.

u/FollowingTheBeat - Thank you for the wonderful floral card with the daisy accents, and for your kind words and the unicorn sloth illustration!

u/melhen16 - Thank you for the Grow Through What You Go Through postcard and the quote you shared!

u/Peonynote - Thank you for the lovely butterfly card and your kind words. That was a really interesting (3D? Pop-up?) butterfly sticker you added! I loved the elephant postage Forever stamp, too.

u/MrsQuasi - Thank you for the supportive card and for the stickers you included. I read your card about halfway through the stack and yours was the one that made my eyes well up. I definitely felt the love and kindness of strangers. Thank you so much for being part of that boost that I needed. Oh, and sloths, suns, daisies & other flowers… I noticed the little touches and I appreciate them!

u/tiredpantyhose - Thank you for the beautiful leafy card and your hopeful words, and for the space stickers, too. I actually got to visit Space Center Houston a couple weeks ago so the NASA logo sticker is definitely going in my travel scrapbook.

u/rennbrig x 2 - Thank you for the 2 botanical postcards you sent in a lovely pink envelope!

u/rokrchik x 2 - Thank you for the London Pan-Am postcard and the Em & Friends postcard about how there's no such thing as failure, only learning. And thanks for the wonderful stickers!

u/sashadelgreyx - Thank you for the handmade Good Vibes card, the wonderful stickers, all the sloth decorations, and best of all, your drawings of an elephant and a cat & sloth drinking boba! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

u/Sable__ - Thank you for the cute string theory cat postcard! I'm going to check out Unf*ck Yor Brain. Thanks for the recommendation!

u/mostvaluablepotato - Thank you for the lovely illustrated postcard and the reminders to get water and sun, just like a houseplant with emotions. I enjoyed all the stickers & washi decorations, too.

Mystery sender! - Thank you for the postcard with illustrated autumn leaves that you sent in an envelope, and for your caring and supportive words. You're right, I could be in a whole new headspace in just a few months or even weeks. Your first name ends in a Y, please message me if this was you so you can be flaired! <3
