I will NEVER let my thank-yous pile up like this again! I thought I'd wait until I'd gotten a nice pile of cards and do one big post but hell naw...this is is just crazy! I did privately thank everyone (at least I hope I did! If I forgot someone, I apologize and will go flog myself as soon as I'm done with this post) as soon as I received your lovely mail...but yeah, I won't be doing it like this again! So without further ado, on to the BPS "Marathon of Thank Yous"

​

PS: F**k you, Imgur, for not working right today!! :\ The world deserves to gaze with wonderment and adoration on these cards!!!

​

u/lonelytwatwaffle x2: HECK YES! Love this card! Thank you for the goodies, bookmark and stickers (especially the space/astronaut ones!) I, like you, suck MAJORLY at math. I actually had to take remedial math in college...TWICE, so that should tell you something! :D :D I'd much rather be writing stories and doing crossword puzzles anyway, haha!

u/TheFeistyFox: Thank your for the cute sunflower postcard! I hope you had a good Easter! We spent the 4 day weekend renovating Mr BPS homeoffice. It's still not 100% done, but at least the walls are painted, carpet down, 80% of the furniture back in. He was so proud of himself, only to find out yesterday that May 15th will be his first day back in the office, lol Ach was soll's...so ist das leben, oder? :D :D

u/dwrfstr: Thanks for the card, tea, and stickers! Happy spring back atcha! Nothing spring-y about the weather here lately though, lol. All 4 seasons in one day for several days in a row. Then awesome warm weather for a day or two; then more snow and hail; then .....well, you get the picture! The tea came in handy! :D Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check out "People of Earth" when I'm done binge watching Brooklyn 99.

u/DaenerysWon: Thank you for the beautiful handmade Easter card! I LOVE the shiny gold "Happy Easter" so much! I'm done with binge watching all Trek series (except Discovery...) so I've been catching up on Brooklyn 99. I will have VOY or ENT running in the background while doing ironing or carding. We're STILL not vaccinated -it's a clusterfuck here, LONG story. Tl,dr: The health minister here is comparable to Betsey DeVos, 'nuff said. That's so cool that you have a green thumb! I'm a plant murderer, lol. If I somehow manage to not kill a plant, The Empress does! :D

u/stephkempf: Thank you for the adorable change of address card! I know we chatted a bit already, but I hope you and Pais are getting settled in!

u/ninajyang x3: Thank you for the note card and stickers...LOVE the "I stir up the cocktails, you stir up the trouble" sticker :D Also thank you for the RAOC birthday card and the kitty postcard too! Yes, it will be SO. FREAKING. AWESOME. to finally travel again! Well, you anyway - I'll just live vicariously through your Insta posts! :D

u/hisokas-nipples x2: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hello Kitty envelope!!!!!!!!! You spoil me so much! I know I gushed already over the big pocket holder but AAAAAGGGHHHHH! I LOVE IT! The origami paper is almost too pretty to use! Thank you for the cat stickers, and beautiful red and gold embossed card as well! <3 <3 u, Prez!

u/shadesoflanternhill: Thank you for the exquisite handmade Easter/Spring card! I LOVE all the different textures! And the spring/bunny/Easter washi you used were all FREAKING PRECIOUS! aND CONFETTI! YAY! And as always, the stickers are too. stinking. cuuuuuute! I bet the cherry blossoms are FABULOUS....I envy you!!!!

u/libertyprogrammer: OH WOW!!!!!!!! I LOVE how you used the stickers I sent you!!!! And no, I don't think it's weird at all to 'send me my stickers back' so to speak. I absolutely LOVE this stunning card! Thank you for the kitty stickers, washi samples, and kitty coloring papers as well! I haven't had much time to do anything fun/carding/relaxing lately but I definitely look forward to coloring these in :D And can I just say: HELL EFFING YES!!!!!!!!! CRAFTING STORES ARE ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES, DAMMIT!!!!!! *stepping down off podium*

u/CanaMeow: WHAT A CUTE PICTURE!!!!!!!!! It's duck mating season here now, and it's so funny watching the male ducks trying to impress the lady ducks. I watched two males chase after a female; they each took turns quacking their undying love and trying to impress her with their diving skills. She was just like 'pffffffffttt' and kept swimming away :D :D The next time you grill some steak, lemme know and I'll be right over, haha! It's still too damn cold here to stay outdoors much without gloves, parka, and a scarf on :( Thank you for all the cute stickers in the cute red envelope! AND THE SUNFLOWER WASHI SAMPLE!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS <3 <3

u/shadow-pop x2: Thank you so much for our cool gold/silver/shiny 'exchange' card! Is that paint or marker that you used? SO. SHINY! I almost don't want to desecrate it with my garbage attempt at crafting, lol. I'm going to need a while to see what ephemera I have to do this card justice! I hope I don't disappoint you :) AND I TOTALLY forgot that I had made that other card, hahahha!

LAST, BUT MOST CERTAINLY NOT LEAST: u/suzilla10 x3: VIELEN LIEBEN DANK for the "Rapper's Delight" card! Woher hast du die gefunden?! GEILOMAT!! The backstory to Rapper's Delight is really interesting, have you heard about it? If not, there's a hip hop docu on Netflix called "Hip Hop Evolution". I've watched it twice now, it is THAT good! Thank you for the cute Easter bunny/imposter bunny card :D :D You already know how we spent our 4 day Easter weekend, LOL (LOVE the Vickie stamp too!) And the album cover handmade card is AWESOME!!!!!!!! I LOVED your DS9 synopsis and will answer you....but I feel pretty much the way you do!! I laughed out loud at some of the things you wrote...esp Dukat/Kai in Season 7. I'm still salty at how they fucked his character arc up. WTF?!
