I've gotten some loving fantastic stuff through goon mail. Forums magnets (LOVE those and wish I could remember who sent them), a get out frog magnet (I *think* that was Team Lunch?)

Does anyone know if Derringer is still around? She lives ~10 min from me, so I sent her a v-day card. Then I realized her address wasn't up anymore, and she doesn't have PMs.

It might be a teensy bit awkward to receive mail from some internet stranger, especially if someone else is living at that address now.

Hot drat, is that a card?

I've got a billion little knickknacks and have to think of something to do with them now.

Thermophonic Joy posted:

That's really sweet. Maybe I'll scrapbook 'em and post pictures. I've never scrapbooked before, though. It seems so addictive, and time/money consuming.

hyperhazard posted:

Just noticed this now. Yay!
Is there anything specific you want with yours? I've been trying to draw a little doodle for everyone, but my artistic skills are, um, unique.

Simply put, it's a totally badass machine that creates die-cut paper shapes, or makes negative cuts in larger pieces of paper. The one I got is the Cricut Expressions 2, so it also cuts fabric for my various sewing projects.

Give me a few days and I'll update the master w/ interests. I'd prefer not to have a doc that anyone could edit, because I could see it getting messy.

In other news, I'm super excited because I ordered something awesome from Amazon today:


That's right: 60 bad-rear end postcards full of Waldo (Wally, to you Brits) to send out for the next holiday! It's not even Valentine's Day and I can hardly wait for the next round.

cardboardRobot, I just got the postcard I sent you for Valentine's Day back in my mailbox. It didn't look like it was returned to sender...rather, it had my zipcode printed at the bottom and the city code printed over the stamp. I think someone at the post office mixed up addresses, somehow ignoring the huge rear end Sharpie writing and instead focusing on the tiny scrawl marked "Return Address" below it. Either that, or they're just loving with me because they wanted another chance to find Waldo.

So as soon as I find an envelope big enough to house it, it'll be on its way back to you. (All I have on me are those super-sexy security envelopes, and they're too short.) You may get your card around St. Patrick's Day...

Guess what I found in the backseat of my girlfriend's car?

Creepytines.



I guess she never made it to the post office. That's okay, though. Late creepytines are even better, right?

Right?

Oh, god.

Yuh-huh.

I won't be doing St. Patrick's, I am going to send out my last way overdue valentine's then take a little break. Just an FYI. If anyone needs my address for anything, or anything else for anything, just PM. I still have a few things to send, hopefully y'all weren't holding your breath. cardboardRobot, Thermophonic Joy, and a couple of others are to get things soon as possible. Cheers

Also, I wanted to announce that my boyfriend proposed and we are now happily engaged! My ring is being re-sized, and I get it on Thursday, and I am imploding and reforming continuously right now. If anyone intends to send me holiday mail sometime soon, some congratulatory goonlove would go very nicely around my desk. (That sounds shameless, doesn't it? I'm sorry.)

With the valentines I was sending the tackiest painted buffalo postcards, and I might even have one or two of those left for you.

I have a whole stash of springtime coloured yarn, so I am thinking of making up a bunch more, if anybody would like one!

Cardboard Robot

I got your beautiful card (seriously, that stationary was amazing, where did you get it from?) and the extreme connect the dots! Can't wait until I have a day off from work where I can complete it and colour it, then post it for the whole thread to see! And of course, stick it on my fridge to make my housemates jealous!

Thermophonic Joy posted:

I got a lovely card from cardboardRobot! Thank you very much! It was my first congratulatory card for my engagement. I guess that's not a thing anymore, sending cards for that occasion. I couldn't find a single one for my friend who's also getting married, and had to make her a pretty pathetic looking one from scratch.

So anyways, I will treasure your card forever. Thank you! I plan on doing the connect the dots this evening, and I'll post the results just as soon as I find my camera battery charger.

Cardboard Robot, Thanks so much for the extreme connect the dots and the card! I came home and checked the mail then promptly got started on it! I was finished in about an hour

I sent out a few letters a bit over a week ago and it seems that none of them have shown up yet. I'm worried about the ones going to Canada because the woman at the post office was a total bitch; I told her a letter to Finland didn't need a customs form because it was literally just a long, multi-page letter (which I've sent before) and when I asked her about the ones to Canada that had more than letters enclosed she got all, "well you tell me, I just work here," and as much as I tried to explain I wasn't trying to tell her what to do and I legitimately didn't know if the Canada ones needed customs she refused to do anything but roll her eyes at me and say "whatever you think."

This post brought to you by Cardboard Robot who sent me one of the super bitchin' connect the dots. I have only gotten to dot 64 but I'm having a swell time. It came in a really cute card, I love birds and flowers and poo poo like that.

Andaley posted:

Also, thank you Cardboard Robot for the epic connect-the-dots! It took my boyfriend and I an embarrassingly long time to figure out what the picture actually was even after I had connected all of the dots (all that was readily apparent was the volcano), but we eventually discovered it was a Triceratops! I'll admit that the posting here of the T-Rex helped, as it got our brains thinking about dinosaurs. Alas, I haven't been able to color him yet, as I seem to have misplaced both my stash of crayons and markers during our move. Blast!

I'll be sending out some postcards I picked up along the road trip soon-ish, after I figure out where to buy stamps and how mailing postcards works. Not tonight, though, still unpacking and everything.

Thermophonic Joy posted:

Decided to get a jump start on my next mailouts last night. I usually do a dozen or two at a time, but this time I'm attempting the ambitious amount of fifty cards at once. I have new respect for some of you, (namely lamb) and your dedication to mailing ridiculous amounts of things.

This may actually take me a few days to finish. See you on the other side.

Team Lunch posted:

I'm doing some cards right now and drawing things for people- if you want to request something, please do! I bought a bunch of new art junk and am anxious to try it out.
