Happy Holidays friends! I am much delayed in this post (which is 1 of 2 I need to make), but want to say thank you, you are all the best, and Merry Whatever is meaningful to you :)

The cards: https://imgur.com/a/7GUh2DF

u/talkingroses (x2) -- loved the cool "Pink Lady" cherry card covered in Panda stickers you sent! Also cool to hear mention of Fitzroy again for the first time in ages :D and also as I'm writing this, I realized I took the "No Peeking!!" washi you used too seriously and didn't want to open it before my birthday... but it's been in this "thank you" stack until now, so the surprise is very fresh and WOW!!!! sticker overload!!!! I think my favorite thing are the little note pads with a bear riding around in a car!! sooo cute. the Happy Birthday bird card and note you left inside are really sweet, and obviously a lot of effort went into it! Thank you so much! PS. I am sorry, but the holidays got the best of me and I only just put your "Thanksgiving" card in the mail last week :( :( but it's on its way :D :D :D thank you!! also wishing the best for your country and those fires...

u/neeps1379 -- always a treat to receive a card from you. The balloon cutout carrying the cat on the front is soooo sweet. your comment about the chain card prompted me to check in with the person right before me (Brazil), because I haven't received any yet to date. However, we know they made it at least to Austria. so I am hoping to hear back soon... they haven't posted in 25 days and I wrote them 15 days ago... hoping for the best :| :| :| but thank you, so much for this sweet birthday card!

u/5-finger-death-punch -- thank you!!! for the sweet BIRDSday card!!! I LOVE THE HEDGEHOG THINGS which are stickers you used, so freaking cute. and the forest washi! and how the envelope says BIRTHDAY MAIL is sooooo cute!! I wish I could do calligraphy like you and so many others in this sub... also love the stamps, as always ;) also not sure how you have a matching card, sticker and washi set?? these exist??

u/Zennet -- ahh! Thank you for such a nice Holiday card!! I actually forgot we exchanged so receiving this was a delightful surprise! I love the glitter on the outside. Lovely lovely lovely! Happy New Year to you :)

u/Jenchris1 -- thank you for the beautiful Christmas card! love all the glitter, but mostly love all the stuff you wrote! This card we think was from the RAOC exchange XD I have been delayed returning you a card, but it will go out ASAP I promise! damn these holidays! thank you, thank you again!

u/halfwayoutoftown -- gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous, as always !!! You really are so talented, I wish I could do beautiful calligraphy like you! gorgeous stamps, love the fish which actually I thought were mushrooms at first ! LOL. This card is just undeniably beautiful and elicits feelings of both gratitude and unworthiness at the same time lol. Your glittery pen, your note, the freaking TWINE, all the washis and stickers. and THEN, the smaller "do not open until christmas" envelope, which by the way I did adhere to... and opened after... double the fun card. the stickers (of snacks) etc are so freaking cute and I can't wait to pass them onto other cards. I really look forward to exchanging with you in 2020! and I hope you win some 2019 Best of Awards, because you are so truly gifted at card making! THANK YOU !!
