Hi everyone! I am having surgery in a couple of weeks and have gotten very, very behind on my thank yous. Here’s the last batch of holiday thanks as well as a photo of all the cards up on the wall. (I think I got everyone, please shout if I missed you!)

I really loved all the cards I got. I have always sent out a ton of cards to my friends, family, doctors, etc, usually about 100, and most of my friends don’t love mail the way I do, so I don’t end up getting very many back. It was amazing this year to have cards arriving all the time and to have so many beautiful cards and holiday wishes on display. I only took them down today.

I also wanted to thank again the folks who took the time to write to my penpal who is incarcerated. I know you already got your flair, but my penpal has written back to me and told me again how meaningful it was that you wrote to her, that she’s so grateful for it, especially at the holidays, and that we really “came through for her.” So thank you again to u/ninajyang, u/talkingroses, u/bananacreampie, u/tigerlady13, from Shanon.

Now, to the belated folks….

u/thomyo - thank you for my secret holiday card! I loved how festive this was, and it was a delightful surprise.

u/nutriyum - Thank you for the card all the way from Finland for the holiday card swap! Your message was very sweet, plus the dinosaurs in Santa hats stickers?! Amazing!

u/Fmradiochick - this card got separated from the envelope for a bit but I think this one is yours! Super cute party scene with a glittered edge, I love it!

u/constantcraver x 2 - I loved both the snowman with the bunnies (I have a thing for rabbits) and I have a total potty mouth, so your New Years card made me chuckle. Thank you!

u/FirmQuestion - your handmade card was so cute! I especially love the rainbow Christmas tree washi you used.

u/willlittle3091 - Thanks for writing a lovely note - I think at the holidays it’s easy to just sign your name and call it a day since you may write a zillion cards, and it was really nice to read your card. (I also loved that you continued the creep theme in your sticker, haha.)

u/purpleteasoul - You really can’t go wrong with a Peanuts card, so classic. Thanks for about your holidays with me.

u/pinktothebone - This card was super cute, I especially loved that the inside was decorated too and that there was a little penguin skiing in there. :)

u/johaan1025 - I loved your message in the card, and as a kid at heart, the unicorn card was spot on!

MYSTERY CARD - This one clearly was made with love, lots of stickers, washi, and red and green markers… but it’s not signed! And it got separated from the envelope. It’s someone that I sent a card to (since they thank me for my card but I’d like to properly thank you! Help me identify this one?

Thanks again all! Hope your new year is off to a great start!
