Things are kinda garbo across the world right now; I was thinking of posting this thread in the GBS "What's Hot Now" sticky to drive up participation, or maybe even in BYOB because they're p. chill, and get some new pen buddies, how does everyone feel about this? Lamb, are you on board for the spreadsheet editing that will inevitably arise? I was in on this years ago and so glad to see it’s still happening! Zoesdare 3502 E El Moro Mesa AZ 85204

Thanks for the birthday card I got yesterday, Keetron! I should be caught up on replies to everyone now including Lamb and Ceramic Pig. Another returned letter, this time from Pershing. Hope all is okay at Casa De Pershing.

Cat stuff person here. I just lost my beautiful boy last month after 16 great years. Got an amazing and much needed package from sharizard and a beautiful postcard from peeches. Sorry for the bad capitalization. I had an IV this morning that bruised the poo poo out of my dominant hand.

Sorry for the double post! Got some great stuff from Poo in an alleyway and Frontyard Ninja! To all my US goons: I too feel the pain of not having a summer road trip. Unlike you, however, I also have a bunch of absolutely stupid postcards from the era of the Great American Road Trip that I hope got the people who designed them fired. Because of these two things, I have just mailed out a round of postcards that commemorate things 70’s people thought were a good idea to mail pictures of to everyone. Please enjoy your image of motel, gas station, room in a museum, indecipherable sculpture, etc. I know it cannot fully make up for the road trip you are missing, but it can remind you what annoys you about them.

Kreyla, which one did you get? Most of them were 70’s motels my family stayed at on vacation back in the day. I tried to send everyone one that was not from near them.

Lamb, I'm glad you love the pen. I got my first one by total accident and I've been addicted to them for a few years now! Mail from Shrimpwhiskers yesterday. Pixelante, there is a card for you in the mail. I can't wait to see that seal in action! Anyone interested in more 70's road trip ephemera? I cannot tell you how much of this stuff I have. (a lot) Edit: Then I actually took everything to the post box and there was a letter from Skels! Zoesdare fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Would anyone be interested in some fabric scraps? I sew and sometimes it is nice to get some little bits of randomness to mix it up and incorporate into other pieces. I've mostly just been sending out paper ephemera, but if anyone is interested in fabric scraps, trim, or fiber for fiber arts, let me know what your preferred medium is and I will send you some.

Hey all, sorry it’s been taking me a while to reply, but I’m working through. It’s been a hard year. Lamb I love loved the card and winter cheer I got today. The ornament is already on my tree.

Hey all! I’m 99% sure that house #3 is the one we are buying. Please still send me mail. Expect me to be mailing random odds and ends to you. I will be forwarding my mail the day we close on the house, and will update my address here so any stragglers will reach me regardless of which address is on them. Probably no thanksgiving cards from me this year as I will be moving and setting up house in November. Also who are my sewing peeps? I’m cleaning out my fabric hoard.

I met my new mail person today and it did not go well. My real name should be on the sheet now, so if something addressed to my username bounces back, please use that.

kafkasgoldfish posted:Hey guys, I have a weird (ish?) request. Would any of you be willing to send me a postcard from your city/state and maybe include one thing you could recommend about it? Or not recommend about it? Or any random shower thoughts about your state. Please DM me as well and I will send a piece of Arizona

If you get a card in the mail saying Happy February from me it’s because they all got lost in the shuffle and just got found

Hey all. I know I’ve been bad about writing lately, it’s been a real struggle. My 95 year old grandmother isn’t doing the best. I’m actually staying at a hotel across from her assisted living this week to spend time with her while I still can. All that said, I would really love letters with your uplifting or funny stories. Thanks to Pershing for the pm that made me smile this morning.

Sending Spooky Season cards this week- EXCEPT for international (from the US) goons who I’m waiting on postage for. Bonus- USPS just dropped a new international stamp, so you’ll get your card later but with a fancy rear end Daisy on it.

I’ve been drowning in work for a while now and have gotten behind on my letter writing, but I quit my job! So imagine my surprise when I was cleaning my work desk out and found a bunch of cards I wrote in FEBRUARY and never sent. I’m sending a fresh round of postcards and some very belated February mail this week.
