u/snerdboff - Thank you for the beautiful East Asian Peoples postcard. I stopped eating sugar recently, so the little candy and ice cream stickers on the back were greatly appreciated. Family is doing ok right now. Lots going on, but physically, we're doing all right.

u/snerdboff - X2! I am so sorry that I haven't gotten through my mail. My mental health has been pretty...ugh... Thank you for the good vibes and well wishes--and the stickers. I'm putting the "Dear Stress Let's Break Up" in my office. I could use the daily reminder!

u/ImOKReally -Thank you so much for the "hello!" postcard. It was completely unexpected and you have no idea how much I needed it. Hoping to send something back soon when I get my groove back! (The stamps rocked, too!)

u/cayt98 - Loved the villains PC! 'm a little bummed to admit that I haven't started my diamond paintings yet. I told myself that I **WILL NOT** start the 3 diamond paintings that I have until I finish the paint by number I started last year. (The ones I have are all Nightmare Before Xmas related, I think.) Also, thank you so much for the tips on how to do them. I am so grateful, especially the cookie sheet tip. That one seems invaluable!

u/talkingroses - Thank you so much for the bush babies postcard. Possums are one of my favorite animals--SO CUTE. Agreed on the glitter, though. Somehow it gets everywhere and never seems to leave. In 2016 I made a Xmas bow topper out of glitter ribbon and I still find glitter around the house from it!

u/pastelspace - I loved the dog stamp and poem! Thank you so much! My doggo is my baby, so you hit the note spot-on. We're actually thinking about getting a second dog this summer. I'm super excited.

u/pteroptyx - Thank you so much for the He-Man Xmas postcard and the amazing stamps. You have the most incredible handwriting. I actually thought it was printed on a printer at first it's so perfect. I hope you're having a safe and happy 2021 so far.

u/yeahlikecarlos1 - Thank you so much for sending me the lovely urban sketching postcard. I love the weather stamp that you included with your note. I hope you're having a wonderful 2021 and that you're having a wonderful time with RAOC!

u/ksbuni - Happy new year to you, too! I hope 2021 is treating you well!

u/talipally - Sending more e-hugs! I hope you're doing well. Things have been absolutely insane here for us, but I've been trying to do more yoga and eat better. Noodle had a play date with his greyhound buddy yesterday and that made us laugh pretty hard, too. Laughter is the best medicine, I swear.

u/3720to1 - Thank you for the adorable valentine! I haven't gotten a valentine's day card in a really long time, so it was a really fun surprise. Hope you're doing well and that 2021 is treating you well.

u/quintessential-ly - thank you for the sweet cat library card. I do love reading and animals. Noodle is 4 now--and the most laid back dog on earth. He had a play date with his greyhound buddy yesterday and basically just laid there while the other dog was like "PLAY!" It was pretty funny. I've played some of Spiritfarer. It's a beautiful game! Hope you're enjoying it. :)

u/johaan1025 - What a lovely, unexpected surprise! Thank you so much for the note and oodles of gifts. It completely warmed my heart when I desperately needed it. Your advice for 2021 was fantastic and I've been trying my best to put it into action. Hope you're doing well!

u/lillyofthelake - Thank you so much for the return card! It was unexpected and really warmed my heart. Hope you're doing well and that 2021 is treating you well. I put the vellum you sent into my paper stash to use the next time I make cards!

u/babyraspberry - Thank you so much for the lego postcard! I'm glad you had such an outpouring of cards for your birthday! You're a huge part of the RAOC community, so you deserve it! Hope you're doing well!

u/pullingback (?) - Thank you for the Toy Story postcard and trivia! I really appreciated the happy mail. Hope you're doing well!

u/LampyS - Oh my god, I love the postcard you sent. I crochet, so the "darn it" card you sent is hilarious. Our Christmas was really quiet. We did Zoom Xmas with the family and stayed home and ate soup. 2021 has been absolutely crazy, but we're taking it one day at a time. Hope you're well!

u/RareExcitement - Love the pun postcard! Thank you so much for sending it. I am very behind on sending stuff out from my mailing list, but I'm hoping to catch my stride again soon. RAOC has been one of my safe havens since COVID's hit, so it'd be something great to get back to. Have you been up to anything fun in 2021?

u/DCMorrigan - Happy new year! I love the kitten postcard and the ladybug theme on the back of your PC. So fun. 2020 was bananas, but we did get Noodle dog, so that part of the year was amazing. Fingers crossed, we get a second greyhound this year. Husband and I decided that 31MAY we'd discuss the prospect again. Hope you're doing well!

u/j_binx - Hullo! Sorry for the late thank you on the lovely postcard you sent! Hope you're doing well. Things are crazy around here, but Noodle keeps us on our toes. Silly boy! Hope you're well!

u/reinakelsey - Thank you so much for the Coca Cola post card. I'm actually a huge Diet Coke fan, so you hit the nail on the head. (Actually drinking one now as I write this, haha.) Hope you and yours are doing well!

So yeah...I am so sorry to everyone listed above for taking so long with thank yous. My mental health hasn't been that great these last few months and I just haven't been able to get myself pulled together good enough to get onto RAOC. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. This is an amazing community and you have always been an amazing support. So yeah, a huge thank you for all that you do.
