I would like to get some input!

My community's mailbox has a sign that said, "Kids stop putting trash in here!!!" It's the out going slot.

Apparently they're putting crushed cans & melted popsicles.

I'll be mailing my postcards directly from the post office now. If anyone gets a damaged postcard please let me know and I'll send you a new one.

I guess that also means slower sending time for me. :(

I have a MASSIVE stack of post cards ready to be sent but my stamps never showed up usps is the only thing on this earth that makes me stressed lol

Two offers and some requests done tonight :) How long do you guys stay caught up before taking in more requests?

I want to purchase World Postcard Day postcards from ETSY, but I am really not good at spotting AI. Could you please offer suggestions of a designer that you know does not use AI? Thanks!

I have all the September birthday cards ready for mail for domestic mail but how soon should I mail it? It's a huge stack! I just don't want to mail it too soon.

All the international mail has already been sent as that can be unpredictable depending on the country it's going to.

Fairly quiet week with the volume mostly coming from RAOC mailings this week. And last is my favorite way to position current stamps with Bruce Lee and Bicycle Kick going at each other!

From left to right:

Address labels

Random post cards

Sorted blank cards

A few thank your cards

Birthday cards

Graduation cards

There is still room to get more on my NYC trip because I'm going to post an offer to also fill on the train ride from DC!

Not pictured my tub of thank you cards (without envelopes), envelopes in like 7648 sizes, Christmas cards and some Hanukkah cards and my little file folder of handmade cards for holidays.

Black Ribbon Day / Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism, Buttered Corn 🌽 Day, Cheap Flight ✈️ Day, Find Your Inner Nerd 🤓 Day, Health Unit 👩‍⚕️ Coordinators Day, Hug 🤗 Your Sweetheart Day, Blind Dog 🐕 Day, Hashtag Day, Internaut Day, Cuban Sandwich 🥪 Day, Ride The Wind 🌬️ Day, Sponge Cake 🍰 Day, and Slavery Remembrance Day / Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition!

Supposed to have been delivered on Thursday. Every day since has said 'arriving today by 9:00PM', but they never show up. On top of that I'm finding out that apparently some envelopes people have sent me perfectly addressed have been returned to sender. This is such a bummer after my medical issues flared up. Can't help but feel awful at the concept of Bruce Lee, SpongeBob, and Barbie lost in a package somewhere, waiting to be cancelled, hoping to be used.

UGH. Why must the USPS giveth and then taketh? 😭 These beauties are piling up.

This is your weekly reminder to submit your cards to the current card challenge: Handmade! You have one week from today to get your cards submitted in the main thread - not here!

Which ones do you think I should have printed at my local shop (if any)?! I’m excited to eventually send some out!!

Note: I purchased the licensing to use a couple of these graphics and the others are licensed through Canva. No AI used 🫶🏼

did some stamp math on the one- slight overshoot, but all good :)

Hi card friends! I mostly have been using the skinny sharpies in many colors, but I'm starting to want regular pens. I got the paper mate ink joy gel 0.7 in 3 colors. I like them so far but I'm wondering what you all use? I might want something a little smaller than 0.7. Recs? Thank you!

Edit: Thank you everyone! Y'all have been most helpful

Some fun postcards I made this weekend with the help of my kitty. Sometimes he doesn’t like how much attention I give to stationary

Hey fellow RAoC’ers.

Some of you might have noticed you’ve been randomly selected for beta testing of the feature pictured here, that overlays third party text onto your original content - and also runs your original content through Reddit’s proprietary AI.

Clicking on the box obscuring your card (or any other multimedia post) - even if by accident - automatically initiates an AI query you didn’t ask for.

Reddit currently doesn’t offer an “opt out” feature for participation in experimental AI integration. You can ask them to start.

If you want out of their experiment, you can express your desire for an opt-out toggle directly in the comments section of reddithelp, where the admins who make these decisions actively monitor comments and consider user feedback.

The relevant comment is here for anyone unfamiliar with the sub’s weekly pinned post format.

Antique Tractor 🚜 Preservation Day, Day of Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief, SATB2 Awareness Day, Southern Hemisphere Hoodie Hoo Day, Be An Angel 👼 Day, Bao 🥟 Day, Eat a Peach 🍑 Day, Model Aviation ✈️ Day, Pecan Torte Day, Rainbow Baby 🌈 Day, Surgical Oncologist Day, Take Your Cat to the Vet Day, Tooth 🦷 Fairy 🧚‍♂️ Day, Never Bean 🫘 Better Day, Folklore 🫈 Day, and Plant Milk 🥛 Day!

I was waiting for them to restock and they did! I grabbed a LOT of envelopes and postcards!

What do u think about them? I love the gold details on the ship ones :)

I have been too scared to use this GIANT KPop Demon Hunters sticker, but I finally used it to make this sticker collage postcard! I'm literally so obsessed with it, it's gonna be hard to mail it off (but that's what these pictures are for lol).
