...these are a few of my favorite things ;) i'm giving myself 30 min on the clock to tackle these thanks - if you sent to me and don't see your name listed, it will be in the next batch. plus i am saving a handful of christmas cards to open closer to christmas!

u/mypetitmal - thank you for the beautiful card of the 1843 painting that was thoughtfully chosen so i could admire the princess's historical fashion. it's really a great image! i don't think i've watched bernadette banner, but i have watched morgan donner's historical hairstyles videos which always suck me in

u/Gerbie37 x2 - thank you for the two helsinki postcards. i loved learning that they were travel ads by the govt but yet they're so artistic. hope your time abroad is just full of magic!

u/Jennnnnnnnifer - thank you for the winter wishes cute snowman card and lovely little note which made it feel like one of those annual update cards you get from relatives or long-lost friends you regularly hear from at the holidays :D

u/mindok9980 - omfg thank you for the effin birds postcard and accompanying message, these always make my effing day ;) it's kind of ominous that the message is about fucking off and the image is of a parent bird standing over their nest hahah

u/dwrfstr - thanks for sending me a postcard with GARBAGE STAMPS! yes, garbage themed stamps do exist people, and it took me a minute to remember this was the theme of the offer. i was like , is that a lumpy chestnut or acorn or... OHH it's a poo in a relaxing pose. the moldy cheese, flies, mouse, banana peel were all bizarre and wonderful, thank you

u/peonynote x2 - two meta theme matches to thank you for: weather/seasons and ghosts! your messages are really nice and vivid, the woman reading in the flower garden is so me, and the ghost stickers inside the other card totally match the ghost cards that i sent out for halloween (except mine were wearing heart sunglasses) loved these stickers, they're beyond adorable. i hope you had some delicious food to celebrate your thanksgiving

u/Becca203 - it has been awhile since i claimed a handmade card, which is part of why i was so happy to claim your late fall offer. the teal background with the variety of pumpkins is very me, and the puffy stickers are great. this was really fun to get so thank you and sounds like you can relate to the title of this post! ;)

u/spaaaaaacey x2 - vintage holiday card! i freaking loved your pick for me! the colorful holiday bells are so great. and i am writing back to you today, i can totally relate to your message about your nanny's decor and i will share more in my card to you. i am all 😍 about the additional postcard, what a sweet message.

u/wabisabi_sf - i loved your postcard stamp and postmark ;) thank you so much - a special surprise is on its way back to you!
