[RR] Alternative Monthly NARR - Jan-Sept 2024 - Sept sign-ups closed

April #11 I received from #3 @harleyq2btrue
Thank you for the warm welcome! I am really enjoying PC so far and have loved connecting with others. You called the card mundane, but regardless of subject the use of light is incredible, and now I’m craving grapes :joy::grapes:

#3 @harleyq2btrue Harley I love that you recycle into postcards. Also boba is one of my favorite drinks. Thank you for the card!
#1 @AccentOnHakes thank you for the cute ‘frog not actually a frog’ card! I actually love frogs and have for a long time. This one looks pretty tiny.
#5 @sleepyhippo1 what a wonderful corgi card! It looks just like my Penny! This is her with her favorite ball!

#11 @Sunhilde i have never heard of Brigsby Bear, I will definitely look for it. How fun to be in a movie club! I find myself rewatching movies that I’ve seen multiple times, they are just so comforting.

@AccentOnHakes sent a great dark and mysterious painting by Monet. This one is a different look than most of his famous paintings

@Sunhilde sent a very unique mermaid. Spring is kind of hiding around here. It’s been kind of rainy and cold lately. My favorite thing I’ve seen on a road trip is a sculpture of Skeleton man walking his dinosaur. It’s in South Dakota.

@sleepyhippo1 #5 Thanks for the card from your hometown! Love that your library had cards.
@Calisunshine #10 Thanks for the great CA card! I grew up thinking the license plates were boring, but now I appreciate their simplistic grace. I always smile when I see one on the road, though I don’t have one anymore.

I received
#10 @Calisunshine a pretty cactus photo. I love the color grading on it! I’m also from Cali originally.

#1 @AccentOnHakes sent birds! I had never seen a green broadbill before. It is amazing that it is so bright!

#12 @kat4544 thank you for the adorable fox card! Donut and coffee, the perfect breakfast! lol. Love the sticker and gnome tape, too! I never knew my bio dad, but his last name was Fox and I have a fox stuffed animal he gave my mom when they were dating, so they were always a mysterious animal to me, holding a special place in my heart. I’d be hard pressed to come up with a favorite board game, there is too many! I do love Lost Cities and Sagrada off the top of my head. Labyrinth is a great one!
