Hello wonderful folk of the RAoC family. I hope you all have been keeping well. This is a long overdue thank you post and I feel really bad for not being able thank you all earlier. Without going into to the details, I had to (unexpectedly) leave the country to help a friend and back then had assumed it would be a short trip. One thing led to another and it was a long while until I got back, and to make things worse I went straight to the hospital after returning. I'm fine now but my mail pile up is more than six months old. I am extremely sorry for this delay, I feel terrible. I will also try to send out thank you cards to all of you as the one good thing to come out of it was having the best day of fall, getting to open so many mails! Thank you again for being so amazing!

​

u/Phoenix_my_Soul - Thank you for that beautiful and scenic card, I instantly had to look that spot up and add it to my bucket list! A great selection of stickers to go with it as well, especially the fawn in the basket one, one of the cutest!

​

u/jaimeelizabethh - Thank you for the awesome hour glass card!! I'm a big fan of hourglasses, I even have a tiny one that I use to time my tea brewing! And I hadn't even mentioned this :D if I had seen this card in a store it would have gone straight into my cart! Really creative design as well!

​

u/soxgal - Thank you for that elegant and minimalist card and so many cool stickers to use!! That was such a great prompt as well, my reply mail is on its way :)

​

u/invasivezim - Thank you for that set of earth day themed stickers, I love them! And that was an awesome memory as well, which brought back a lot of nostalgia :) Looking forward to writing to you about it!

​

u/mushroomappreciation - A Shakespeare card, thank you! This is wonderful timing as well I was reading a book that referenced a lot of Shakespeare's work :D I also gained some additions to my to-read list!

​

u/Aurelia_Hathaway - Haha this card is now probably my favourite mode for dropping in to say hi :D This is going to send me on a wild hunt to find an appropriate response card! Thank you for dropping in :)

​

u/A_Rank_Amateur x2 - Thank you for the spotted turtle in high vintage naturalist style and the Nomori card! I love your handwriting and that Espana in the end was a nice addition! It was fascinating to learn about the Nomori, they seem like a very close fit to my soul animal! I am also amazed as how much information you managed to squeeze in on the post card, so neatly at that!

​

u/xxturtlepantsxx - One look at the card and I knew this was sent during spring! Thank you for the flowery card, it brightened my otherwise bleak cold winter day!

​

u/finer_things_in_life - Thank you for the Mauterndorf castle card!I hope you were able to have a fun ride(you have now put this plan in my head as well :D) to there and it surely must have been majestic IRL as well!

​

u/Llabddo - Thank you for that unusual card, its a great addition to my collection of random things :D! I'm a big fan of his work, The Raven in particular, and had not known about the quote before, I love it as I relate to it on so many levels(not sure what that says about me though haha)!

​

u/laumby - Thank you for the lovely vintage card of the Eiffel Tower! And to make it even better, another book recommendation! As I'm in a rush to meet my yearly goal, this is like the perfect time for it, I hope I'll be able to make it!

​

u/nirelleth - Thank you for the beautiful Strand Book Store card, I love this kind of washed water colour art style! It's nice that you have actually been there and picked up a book as well, I will definitely do that if find myself in NY! That was a lovely memory as well, reading it put a big smile on my face!

​

u/organicalmondmilk - Thank you for that awesome package with so many cute goodies! Best of all was the positive vibes message and quote, I definitely needed that! The couple of pages from Iliad was a wonderful addition as well :D

​

u/cupidkat - Thank you for the stunning portrait of the Alaskan coastal brown bear!! And your writing brought it to life, it was almost as if I were right next to the bear! And I also now know what to do if I ever run into one! Would love hearing more of your (bear) stories!

​

u/gimmiegnomes - Thank you for the nice little potted plant, and the flower stickers! Always happy to have more plants that I do not need to water! This has also inspired me to try and plant(paint) some plants myself, would love to send you some and receive your reviews!

​

u/pepetteuh_56 x2 - Thank you for the beautiful LoTR calligraphy card AND a bonus post card from Japan, that was really nice of you to add that in as well! I definitely hadn't known about the Izu peninsula and it is definitely going into the itinerary(and I love hiking)! This post somehow ended up in Thailand before it reached me, and that somehow makes me love this evermore haha!

​

u/pullingback x3 - Thank you for the Fort Vaux(did some reading, quite an interesting spot), the super cool pencil sketch Cars card and an amazing Ralph quote card, patience really is key! Three book recommendations as well, and from such a different set of genres, they went straight into my list. Looking forward to reading them, and sending some of my own recommendations as well! Loved the decorations on the envelope as well, so many stickers!

​

​

u/designbat - A pusheeeeen card, I love pusheen! Thank you for the stickers as well and I have already begun colouring the two sheets, will show you once I'm done with them! That was a lovely envelope, and loved the tiny tidbits, will write back with some local facts!

​

u/mumbagoespainting - Thank you for the beautiful painting, this is definitely going up on display! I love the colour scheme, and now you have made me very curious about the smell of orange blossoms! I really do hope you do not lose any more groves :/

​

​

u/returber - Thank you for my first card from China, I absolutely loved the quote! Always great to see some of the Chinese architecture as well!
