Hi all! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
#1 Reporting my final 3 cards for March!
#8 @jenz88 - This card makes me chuckle every time I see it! It surely “spoke” to me! We love bike rides! I also love all the decorations and special touches on the message side! Thank you!
#12 @AllAboutTheBooks - Girl I love me some Ellie Roosie!! Your 6 word memoir is so relatable to me! It’s tough trying to remember who we are and what we want! Ms Swifty nailed it when she said “I’d like to be my old self again, but I’m still trying to find it.”

#13 @darlindanz sent this beautiful blue/green waterfall card - I love it! Being in nature and around water specifically really soothes my soul. I’ve not been to too many places with this type of beauty but it is definitely on my bucket list. Thank you!
Only waiting on 9 & 13

#13 Volvomom reporting in again with more from March! Awesome cards arrived from…
#4 @speechlady99 - Fun PaperSisters card (love their stuff!) with gorgeous, vintage stamps. You must have such patience to work in an elementary school!
#5 @anggenie - So cool! Bunnies at the airport by Nakisha.com. I definitely need to look them up because this design is absolutely adorable!
#18 @Hazygirl - Wow! Where did you find this Alice card? I’ve never seen it before, and my collection is in the hundreds. I just found a bunch of small frames in my closet (cleaning reveals so many things!) so I think I’m going to frame this for near my back door.
#22 @alisonp2022 - Such a cool stamps card! I’ve never received this from LouPaper - great colors and design! I hope that last spring break was amazing!
Thanks to all! Apologies again for the cards being out of order.

OC & E APRIL
Thank you for letting me join this group. It was right down to the wire, but I appreciate the welcome. It looks like I am the only one from the New England area. I live near Boston, MA.
I was so excited to get into another RR that I stayed up very late last night. Got all my addresses and stamps ready, then looked up everyone’s profiles to see what kind of cards they like. And believe or not…
All my cards were just dropped off at the post office.
Can I ask? What do the letters OC & E stand for? Maybe I should have asked this before sending the cards?
#5 reporting All Cards Sent
Thanks again

Oh we’re so happy to have you! In short it stands for Online Connection & Elation, here’s a quote from our host:
Great job on getting all your cards ready! Looking forwarding to receiving it and many more swaps to come!
In this RR, you will share in your postcard messages and/or choice of postcards anything you’ve discovered ONLINE that makes you feel CONNECTED and/or ELATED!
Ladies, I have to apologize in advance. I did not write what makes me feel connected and or elated. I wrote general messages to everyone.
So I will tell you all right now.
Being invited to this group is what makes me feel ELATED!! I have been a Postcrossing member for 5 years and have had long periods of inactivity due to medical issues, or financial issues. I am sure you all have had your ups and downs, as well.
Last year I found Bingo games in the Forum section and decided to give it a try, but I still was not as active with my postcards as I should have been, so I did not do very well.
UNTIL…
Just within the past few months I have started looking at all the topics in the Forums. And I have found so many great topics, great advice and really great people in here. Its gotten me really excited about sending and receiving cards, I have recently even decided to start collecting stamps because of the things I have learned through the Forum topics.
So to sum it all up. You are what makes me ELATED, and feel CONNECTED, even though we may never have spoken, or sent a card to each other, as of yet. Joining groups like this in the Forums has opened a whole new world to me and I love the interaction and newly found friendships I have made through this.
So Thank you to each and everyone of you!

@Sharontup, Welcome!! We are so happy to have you with us!
You are about to have a very happy mailbox! These gals are the best of the best!
The OC&E, just like most things in life, is what you make it! You sharing your heart with us gives me all the warm fuzzies!
So, there is no particular way to do it, but what you did was perfect!

I know I have until the 18th to get cards out but I’m struggling. I lost my pup Percy yesterday pretty unexpectedly and I’m having a difficult time processing. I will get cards out. Just might take me a bit.
