Lovelies from lovelies: https://imgur.com/gallery/UYA3RPN

u/MikePenPal6 Thank you so much for your beautiful offer of sending belated valentines - I felt really special to receive this homemade, heartwarming wish of love & good tidings! Love it all - the heart-themed scrapbooking paper, the “You are my favorite” 3D heart embellishment, the red sequins you used to jazz up the cover (love this craft tip!), the pretty pink cardstock base, your angel & animal themed stickers, & the lovely floral/V-Day washi decorations inside! To answer your question about my V-Day…honestly it was a little sad. I’m lucky to have the most wonderful bf, but he has a chronic illness so we were unable to spend time with each other. So that’s why I was especially excited & appreciative of your kind offer. Your card made me so happy, thank you! Like you, I really “love all the cute things for the holiday”. I just lose my mind over the pairs-themed cuties that emerge around that that day!!!

Like the peanut butter/jelly, bacon/egg, cheese/cracker stuffed honeys holding hands:

I wish I weren’t lured in by these lovelies, but I’m sappy/stupid that way. Thank you again for brightening my spirits with your sweet card. I hope you had a beautiful V-Day & that all your days are filled with limitless love! =)

u/mnjohn x 4 WOW!!!! Thank you so much for the super thoughtful, ***surprise*** birthday card party (you sent me a party, what!??!) with all your lovely wishes & wonderful goodies!!!! The illustrated animal postcards - toooo cute!!! I also appreciated the affirmation mini card encouraging me to “Remember why you started” & the affirmation postcard - this is such a valuable affirmation for anyone, at any stage in life: “I think it’s okay to not have everything figured out by now.” TRUTH! I was astonished at your generous gift of unused vintage/modern stamps - thank you! Thank you also for the unique washi samples (the mail themed ones…so sweet), fun stickers, scrapbooking ephemera, & goodies to pass on. My heart was so happy to experience all your kindnesses. My heart felt full - and I felt spoiled. I just thought of how lucky your loved ones/friends who have had the pleasure of meeting you IRL must feel - because if you’re so loving to a mere stranger…how loving are you to everyone else?!?!? I also loved the “Art of Magic” forever stamp you used (never seen this beauty or the other neato women cryptologists stamp before!!!!), your lovely calligraphy of my name on the envelope, the floral sticker/cake decorations, and your personalized stamp (what a beautiful illustration of you)! So so neat! Thank you also for the MARVELOUS “Hello” mailbox-themed postcard that you personally designed - it’s such a treat! The vintage style for the graphics is so fun! I’m especially bananas for anything mail-themed since I’m new to snail mail as of this year. So I felt really lucky to receive mail-themed magic! Thank you for making me feel so special with your thoughtful, generous gifts, delightful wishes, & all the love & affection. Wishing you infinite joy with your creative dreams & endeavors!

u/germymany Thank you for the vintage 1840 floral-illustrated postcard! I love the nature scene themed pink & green washi tape! The smiling matchsticks - sooo cute! Wishing you the best of walks on the most beautiful beaches!

u/melhen16 x 2 Thank you for the postcard thanking me for the “overloaded dog postcard” & the patriotic-themed card for National Card Writing Month! Thank you for the cheerful, colorful stickers to pass on! Hope you had a blast writing cards & spreading cheer!

u/yetanotherblankface Thank you for the insanely cute Pusheen postcard decorated with the matching, insanely cute Pusheen stickers! The pretty pastel colors instantly brightened my day! Wishing you pretty pastel days!

u/FeistyBlizzard THANK YOU for making me go bananas/bonkers/looney tunes for the gorgeous illustrated NPR postcard!!! It made me so happy in so many ways. Not only am I an NPR nerd, but I also flip out over illustrated cards/doodles! The graphics on it - so insanely cuuuute! The colors of the graphics instantly happied (the way this card made me feel made me use this word for the first time ever haha) the heck out of my day! And I’m also a sucker for mini illustrations - the mini cup of ice cream, the mini bottles of nail polish, & the mini notebook paper/envelope/pencil just had me swooning! I have to bug you & ask if the postcard is part of a series/how I can find more like it. Because I love it that much! NPR? A brief search was fruitless. AND where can I find the precious mail-box/letter themed sticker?!?! Soooo cute! Even the pretty pastel washi is a joy to look at - you’ve got great taste!!! I also wish I had your delicate, elegant handwriting - it’s like a blend of calligraphy & modern art!!! You asked about my fave things - like you, I love to read. And I’m particularly obsessed with libraries, bookstores, ephemera, junk journaling, & newly nuts for snail mail through RaOC. Thanks again for this postcard treat! Wishing you all of your fave things in all your fave colors!!

u/somedrawer Thank you for the pretty pink & yellow pastel themed birthday postcard! The pattern is so simple yet so bright & happy! Your sweet wishes were so heartfelt & happy - your enthusiasm means so much to me! I also loved how you wrote HB in two different colors of ink - what a cool 3D effect! I can’t wait to try that sometime. I also love your whimsical, pretty cursive script. The smiley face you drew - so cute. Also love the spring-y, bright washi & strawberry sticker!!! Thank you for thinking of me with your kindness! Wishing that you discover lots of mysterious goodies in not only somedrawer, but every drawer in your home (but not in a creepy way - I’m sorry, I haven’t been sleeping well). ;)

u/SailorCrush Thank you for making my day with the most beautiful hand-illustrated, happy doodles ever on the beautiful glittering hearts birthday card!!! I wish I could draw & illustrate like you! All of the doodles - the cuuuute unicorn with that awesome braid…tooooo cute, the slumbering, smiling moon, the floating balloons, the 3D heart, the multifaceted gem, the mini globe (the intricate detail work is soooo nice), the star, and I don’t know if it’s a comet or constellation or what but it’s precious, the doodles border (love this tip for instant creativity - even a dodo like me could do this, yessss!) - all of it is such a treat! Oh my these elegant stickers - so beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for spending all your time & effort making my birthday so special! I hope your summer is as sweet as you’ve been to me, my friend.

u/Rura_Penthe924 Thank you for the beautiful postcard depiction of the Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy with your warm, wonderful birthday wishes! I loved your wishes for “new adventures & opportunities” - these wishes & your kindness in thinking of me made my birthday special! I also love your pretty print handwriting. I could read the most boring of books if they were written in your handwriting!!! Thanks again. Wishing you a beautiful summer!

u/OkayFlan x 2 When will you cease to be cute? Good Lord, these stickers of the soda cans, tea cups, decadent desserts, kawaii cutie bears, the baby bird, mocktails, your mini OkayFlan personalized salmon pink/white stickers on the “Don’t Overthink It” postcard (so needed this message) are soooooo insanely cute my heart hurts! What you did with the torn-paper address label - that’s soooo neat!!!! I’m also nutty for the “Boston Tea Party” stamp you used - never seen it before!! Thank you for thinking of me, my always-encouraging, always-there friend!!!! AND WHAT?!?! The rainbow surprise card with the generous gift of Korean Stickers made my heart burst with joy that you thought of me!!!! The way you decorated the envelope with all the bright, beautiful cute-themed pastry/kawaii stickers & washi tape made me so happy. You took so much time & effort in jazzing up the envelope with so many happy vibes - I felt really special. Thank you!!!!! I can’t even begin to thank you for all the special birthday goodies you sent me as the library is about to close (update - they’re now closed & I’m typing outside in 101 degree weather connected to my mobile hotspot because I’ve been having a thank you formatting crisis for hours waaaaa - ever have issues?!?) so I’ll thank you in another post. So blessed to be your friend. XOXO

u/rennbrig x 2 Apologies I have to post your ty in the comments, been in tech pain for hours
