[Offer] Lightly used marine life stickers [WW]

This has been fulfilled, thanks!

I bought this years ago specifically for the spotted eagle ray, and I've tried to use the others here and there, but it really bothers me that the gold embellishments rub off onto my fingers.

Any takers for what remains in here? US to WW!

u/TinertZab - Thank you for the change of addy postcard! I hope mine arrives soon to you!

u/sammanthax345 - Thank you for the Summer Delight postcard with your earliest internet memory! I remember Ask Jeeves too! Also, at the first elementary school I went to, they made us learn typing on actual typewriters because the computer lab was reserved for the older kids. I remember being so jealous when I transferred schools and my new classmates told me that I missed Mavis Beacon 😂

u/indiegoes - Thank you for the Everyday Watercolor Seashore postcard! I always look forward to reading your postcards for both your messages and your lovely handwriting! I love when a stranger can come through like that. Glad your earbud was retrieved!

u/ljsweenes - Thank you for the desert plants of the southwest postcard! I'm so excited to have another one from this series! Ask Jeeves brings back a lot of memories for me, but so does Google before it ever did fun things with its designs 😂

u/Hoolu123 - Thank you for the homemade thank you card!! 🥹

u/Tight_Ant_2587 - Thank you for the upcycled Care Bears blind box card! I'm not really a fan of blind box culture either. I'd done it enough times to be disappointed by the results, so I eventually decided it just wasn't for me! Also, I loved the memo sheets!

And the gift that keeps on giving from my request!

u/ArizonaErie - Thank you! You gave the spiders moss, you gave them a home, and still they demand blood? There's just no reasoning with them!

u/Siram_Art - Thank you!! Consider it done. The box is safe, Terry is taking the fall, and your message never reached me. We were never friends. We never spoke. And there was never a box 🫡

[Offer] Elmer The Elephant for World Elephant Day! [WW]

Hi gang! Elephants are my favorite animal, so I’m especially excited to have an offer for World Elephant Day!

I acquired a damaged copy of Elmer the Elephant by David McKee and did what I always do: used a mix of cardstock, thin cardboard, and large index cards as the base, then pasted illustrations from the book onto them to give the pages a second life.

Requirements: You must have made a thank you or offer post within the last 30 days. I'll be checking, so the form will remain open until I've found the right number of recipients.

Additionally, I have a smaller batch of postcards I made from The Trouble with Elephants by Chris Riddell that didn't turn out as smooth as I was hoping due to too much glue having a wrinkly effect, so I may lift from that pile to send too! Here's what those look like: https://imgur.com/a/zMaPmwd

Offer is open to US and WW: https://forms.gle/WL1CsKidPQNFce5W7

Thank you!

u/peppiminti - Thank you for the Snow White postcard with your earliest internet memory! I don't remember specific names, but I remember playing games on the websites for Nickelodeon and The Disney Channel. My sister was the Neopets head, and because we had a rivalry, I refused to engage with it 😅

u/Traditional_Brush719 - Thank you for the beautiful postcard of the pink princess flower, and what do you MEAN [redacted] items?! Eeeek! I hope that you haven't encountered them since then!

u/TheCuriousCur - Thank you for the Smokey Bear postcard to celebrate his bday! Did the postcard already have a waving Smokey Bear on it or is it another one of your amazing stamps? Love it either way!

u/tokkieface - Thank you for the Asiatic elephant postcard! Your story about finding the NY transit museum sounds like exactly something I would do 😅

u/fooskaaa - Thank you for the Zombies postcard! My favorite ice cream flavor is coconut, although I've yet to find anything that beats the best coconut ice cream I ever had from a local restaurant that no longer exists. RIP. I also highly encourage a Parks & Rec rewatch - I'm due for one myself soon!

u/BubblySunflowers - Thank you for the Mister Rogers themed happy mail with X the Owl! I'll answer your question via post 💌, but I loved a lot of the shows you listed! I've had the Gullah Gullah Island theme song stuck in my head since reading it earlier today. Also appreciate the washi sample!

And lastly, an excellent request fulfiller for "Wait, what?"! - u/gooblegobbleable - THANK YOU! This was SO on-the-nose because I had completely forgotten about the request. There's no way you could've known this, but a neighbor's postcard had been misdelivered to me recently, so when I saw this one starting out with hypothetical grandparents I've never heard of, I was like, "Is this something for [neighbor's name] again?" Then I kept reading and my eyes widened when I got to the part about plans being thrown into flux depending on paternity test results. What a fun, mysterious little narrative. Thank you so much!!!

u/Sension5705 - Eee! Thank you for the scenic card with the extra Arizona statehood stamp! I just received a bulk order today with 80... let's just say questionable stamps, and I have no idea what to do with them. 😅 Using them on snail mail would raise some eyebrows

u/Morticia_Devine - Thank you for the postcard from the recycle/reuse store! I recently found out about a similar place near me, but their hours are super limited. I'll try to make it out there because I'm planning to drop off a bunch of cards I've thrifted that just aren't my style so someone else can enjoy them! For food/drink packaging postcards, I usually just trace a 4x6 postcard onto the box and cut it out. I actually used a shipping label sticker as the writing surface on yours because I can't stand writing directly on cardboard! 😂

u/TheCuriousCur - Thank you for the beautiful upcycled Pan's Labyrinth postcard! I saw it in theaters when it came out, so I feel you on the passage of time 🫣. It's absolutely worth revisiting and I still get emotional every time I watch it.! (Don't even get me started on the score - it brings me to tears every single time)

u/Sneakerlambs - Thank you for the card full of love from goodies received from RAoC members! I immediately recognized some of the washi tapes used 💖.

Every time I buy a blind pack of vintage stamps, I secretly cross my fingers that it'll have that Arizona stamp. It made my day to finally get one! Oh, and Bigfoot would absolutely boop! 😂 The way you decorated the envelope has me wishing for a fun beach day with Bigfoot - it was so cute and made me smile!

I'm SO glad you included why you love those movies because I couldn't remember whether I had added an "and why?" to my prompt after submitting it. I really enjoyed reading your reasons and learning more about you in the process! Also, I've only seen 1/4 🫣 (Little Miss Sunshine - LOVE it!)

u/wabisabi_sf - Thank you for the Tyler Turnbull postcard! Love the idea of improving thrift store paintings with movie characters. This one for The Neverending Story rules!

u/milopfrog - Thank you, fellow pigeon lover, for the beautiful linocut postcard of the kingfisher and your adorable doodle of the man in the park feeding pigeons by your message - it's so precious! I have a relative who keeps pigeons, so they have a special place in my heart. I'd love keep pigeons one day too! I keep catching myself looking over at your doodle and smiling. It's so cute! The guy looks absolutely delighted to have a pigeon perched on his finger.

u/Beneficial-Ant2217 - Thank you for the vintage postcard! Your wishes for rain to my area came true if I look at when you dated it! I hope the same has come to your area by now 🤞

u/YellowPerfectionist - Thank you for the beautiful butterfly postcard! LOVE your alternate idea for what else clouds should be made of 🍿

Lastly, SIX amazing folks to thank for fulfilling my "Wait, what?!" request:

u/digging_a_hole - Thank you for the Sea Gull Motel postcard! Cash has been allocated, and the stolen diagrams are on their way! 🫡

u/Accotinked - Thank you for the salacious postcard about "Ashley" crossing a line! My favorite part about reading it was that I completely forgot my own request because I was so caught up in the message. What did you do, Ashley?! 😂

u/averagequeensguy - Thank you for the Shecky's postcard! I LOVE how you turned such a short message on an ad card into a compelling story. Where did you go, and why do you regret it? Chef's kiss!

u/mooshu492 - Thank you for the white whale postcard! I loooove the mystery of this stranger and what they're doing to drive you nuts (great stamps too!)

u/roxy031 - Thank you for the art postcard of the magical oppossum (or... mouse rat 😲) riding the green goose! Unreal skill level, and still cackling at your message!

Mystery Sender - Thank you! I have no idea where to begin. The future date stamped on the postcard is genius because the post office didn't cancel the stamp so this would be perfect to find in a thrift shop one day!

[Offer] Upcycled food/drink packaging postcards [US/WW]

I was inspired by someone on r/PostCardExchange to start making postcards from upcycled food packaging. Then I matched with someone on Postcrossing who was genuinely excited to receive food packaging postcards, so I sent one their way and kept making more. Now I've ended up with more than I can reasonably store, and the thicker material means they're taking up a lot more space in my postcard box than I'd like, so they need good homes! Preferably yours, if you're into this kind of thing! 😊

Offer is open to US and WW: https://forms.gle/daMCAQNiT3qb1S6d7

Requirements: You must have made a thank you or offer post within the last 30 days. I'll be checking, so the form will remain open until I've found the right number of recipients.
