Surprise Stamp Math Incoming (office mail)

Surprise Stamp Math Incoming (office mail)

I work in an office building and it’s my job to open all the mail. I really only see flag stamps, and it’s an exciting day if I see a flower stamp (there was one spongebob stamp that I saved and clipped to my desk). These came in while I was out of office and my coworkers saved them for me because they knew I would be ecstatic!!!
someone used stamp math to tell us we had the wrong address 🥹🥹 i’ve never seen this in my years of working here and I don’t think I’ll ever see it again

u/noxmi thank you for the lovely birthday card full of advice. you had no way of knowing how much i needed to hear this today!! i think i paused to take in my birthday as much as i could, and i know this one is one to remember. i’ve also been on the fence about a semi-solo trip to europe (solo to germany for a few days then meeting up with friends in Greece) and your advice to travel just made that decision for me. thank you so much for celebrating with me & also offering that guidance!

u/geauxlisa thank you for the birthday card!! you chose lovely stickers and the flowered card really brightened my day

u/savagesassysand thank you for the postcard with cute stickers!! i do appreciate the advice from you, especially about not being afraid to start over. 25 is my year of no sunk-cost mindset!!!

u/justh3l3n x3 thank you for the birthday card and other cards too! what a special surprise to open the envelope and find three cards from you. i had a great time sitting down to read them all. it’s a fun coincidence that your friend moved. two years ago, my very best friend moved there. it’s only a few hours from me, so i do visit when i can. i’ll wave hi to your friend on my next trip. also, thank you for the Spongebob reference in turning 25! very funny!

u/noxmi thank you again for another card!!! the pokémon card is one of the most amazing cards i’ve ever seen. i didn’t even know they made those (granted, they’re probably for 5 year olds) but im OBSESSED. i’ve been showing everyone i can how cool it is.

u/Alarmed_Ad9001 thank you so much for the birthday card!! happy belated birthday to you, it sounds like you had a nice day with your family (even if you didn’t make it out of the escape room). i had a great day with my husband - he picked me up from work early so we could get pizza, then we got ice cream and went for a walk and talked about trains. I really appriciate you including a train postcard too!! i won’t use it, it’s far too special! i love looking at it, though. you do wonderful stamp math, too :)

[Request] Birthday Month Cards! [US]

Hi card friends! My 25th birthday is this week, and I'd love some birthday cards to brighten my day. My birthday has always been a bit of a sensitive subject due to bad family dynamics. I mostly cut ties over the last few months with all of them. So this year it's just my husband and I. It's all for the best and for once I'm not dreading a birthday celebration, but I feel like something's missing if it's just the two of us. I'd love to keep the good times rolling and be able to claim June as my birthday month, so card keep getting delivered all month instead of having all the excitement over in one day.

Please comment if you'd like to send something, and I'll send you my address! If you want a card in return, please respond back with your address :) I can return mail to US or WW.

I'll include a short list of things I like, but feel free to send whatever you have (birthday card or not):

- insects (my car is decorated like a large ladybug)
- most animals, especially amphibians or aquatic animals like frogs, sting rays, octopi, etc.
- flowers and glitter
- i absolutely love trains. any train stories or train imagery is appreciated. my favorite train line is the Rock Island Railroad
- favorite colors are red and black (due to the ladybugs 🐞).
- Pokemon
- stamps. I save all stamps I receive and collage them into future artworks. If you have unique stamps or can do stamp math, I will treasure it forever.
- reading, particularly biographies and lit fic. My favorite author is Betty Smith. I'm always interested in hearing about your recent reads.

Not sure which postcard to chose?
- I appreciate postcards from local museums or small parks. The more niche the better
- I like old and vintage cards
- I always love handmade cards. Even if you don't think you're good at making them, I promise I see the beauty in them!
- I love art themed cards
- I'm fond of stickers and ephemera that I can re-use in my scrapbooks

My first outgoing!

This is so fun, thank you all for setting an example! I got myself some old stamps at a secondhand store (the store is secondhand but the stamps were unused) and got to adding! I double checked my math so many times, so I’m hoping they make it to their destinations (two WW and two US)

AFA Graduation Traffic - 05/28

This is my first year working up North (off Interquest), and I'm trying to plan my commute for tomorrow. I'm coming up from Fountain and I need to be at work between 8 and 8:30. I saw on the news to expect heavy I-25 traffic starting at 6am. Is it worth it to take an alternate route? Powers and Academy are both options that I take sometimes. Or I could stay with some friends up here to avoid the traffic.... Looking for advice from people who know better than me lol

[thank you] times a million!

I’ve been out of the sending/receiving game for a bit and it has been so so so nice to have more postcards than bills in my inbox. i’m treasuring all of these cards and thank you for taking the time out of your day to send me things :)

u/Adept-Mulberry-6510 thank you for the cutie upcycled postcard! I’ve been wanting to make a similar one out of envelopes but i’ve only found plain boring ones… this was so cute and so well done!

u/rare_cranberry_7861 thank you for the beautiful whimsycat postcard! I also love love the stamps and cat washi tape you chose to add

u/sunsetfarm_1995 thank you for the box postcard! i love that this idea is spreading and making mail-sending a bit more sustainable. also i didn’t realize until just now that our usernames are very similar

u/sneed off thank you for the monet postcard! it’s truly a work of art and you decorated it so beautifully. i’m going to repurpose the snoopy sticker in a card for my snoopy-obsessed best friend

u/tyedyeamish thank you for the nice little house card! it is quite nice… and fairly little…. and it is a house

u/mystillious thank you for the new year’s resolution card!!! (yes, this thank you is that delayed….. sorry). i hope you are making progress on your camping trips and books read. i recently went camping and i did think of you while i was there! that’s 1 of 3 checked off for me.

u/merfrog thank you for the extraordinarily whimsical card. i adore a bugs life and i ADORE insects. It’s a win win win win

u/mouserat thank you so so much for the gorgeous handmade card, facts about the desert, and incredible stamps. this card really made my day and i have it pinned up in my office! i actually recently moved away from Scottsdale, and recently moved my sister TO Scottsdale. This brought back a lot of memories and i do miss the sonoran desert. i miss the cacti too, which made the washi tape extra special

u/ok_reveal2698 thank you for your cute underwater card! i expected nothing less than a fishy stamp from you, and i love that you delivered!!

u/kittycatcon thank you thank you for the adorable pokémon card!! i’m deep in my pokémon obsession (it’s going on 15 years at this point) and this really hit the spot!!! i don’t have a favorite starter because i need a bug type starter. those are the best pokémon and i dream of one of them being a starter some day.

Hey friends! In my effort to reduce consumption for financial and sustainability reasons, I’ve been trying to make mail out of things headed to the trash. My latest obsession is cards from soda cases!
These are plain cards, some have added stickers and some are just the print on the box. I do not have a large variety of cards, just due to the kinds of pop my neighbors tend to drink apparently.

If you would like a card, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/fxrsR9sp2qu2ZHh7A. I ask for your patience as I work through the requests. I don’t have the time between jobs right now to be sending all these cards but. i fear i’ll go crazy if i don’t!! rest assured, if you fill out the form, you will receive a card :)
I am not certain of the structural integrity of these cards, so this offer is only for the US right now.
