WHEW! Officially caught up on thank yous!

u/kimkimmrw x2 - Thanks for the getting to know you exchange postcards! Thanks also for the very cool stickers, the llama is adorbs. Some kids in our neighborhood have done the painted rock thing. There's a painted rock every few houses near the sidewalks! A cross-Canada train trip sounds lovely, maybe one day it'll happen! I enjoyed reading your answers, and love that you responded directly to mine - it was fun. :)

u/peonynote - OMG THE ORANGES. Thank you for this lovely card, and for your kind words. I have medical stuff this week and those are exactly my plans - no caffeine, good sleep, hydration, focused breathing. Thanks also for the cute hedgehog ribbon! That's the third hedgehog thing I've received this week. I didn't realize how cute they are!

u/mildyuzu - Hello fellow citrus friend! I mentioned to J that nobody won the skeleton race and got the biggest eyeroll I've ever seen! Hope you are well. :)

u/bluedecemberart - Thanks for your note and that lemon stationary is gorgeous! I'm not sure if I like the info you sent about amazon.co.jp... dangerous indeed! Hope your weather has improved since you wrote this (110 and 77% humidity)!

u/DPClamavi - Thanks for the very cool postage stamp card! I just got a bunch of stamps from an estate sale I need to sort through, but this could be a fun thing to try making! Thanks also for those dictionary pages! I look forward to using them in my carding and crafting!

u/KoreWrites - Not cheating! I concur that the sun is yellow and totally counts. I'm sorry about the scare you mentioned, but sunshine sure does help us feel better. And yay for yellow carding scissors! I should find me some of those - that said I have my grandmother's old orange scissors so those are still in the citrus family :) - Thanks also for the bonus postcards and the washi sample! I LOVE the park-adjacent postcards, national monuments and historical sites, etc - those all count in my book! We're going to a national seashore (south padre) in december so I'm looking forward to finding some postcards there!

u/OneiricOstrich - Bear hug by mail yes! I love this card - the bear, the citrus stickers, the adorable washi. The cats chasing butterflies with a net, omg! Thanks also for the stickers and my new puppy bookmark! (Gurgi is stuck in a book on my shelf!) You are right - I LOVE fall. So glad we're starting to see little glimpses of fall here and there. It was 62 degrees one morning, and I nearly died with happiness when I stepped outside. (Hasn't happened since but hey, I'll take what I can get)

u/vampite x2 - Thank you for the lovely hello card - though when I took it out of the envelope my thumb was covering the o... "oh my!" Anyway, thank you! Thanks also for the new address postcard, it's super cute! I hope you and your bf moved along WITH the cats! Thanks also for the extra goodies, especially the bird stickers. J is looking at them now trying to recall what kind of birds they are. :D
