#28 reporting 2 corrections for cards I mislabeled.

#23 @Cstar9 sent the Secret Identity card I previously attributed to beatriceh

#27 @beatriceh sent the beautiful bathtub card (labeled for NA WBMP Feb) but I’m now assuming it was for this RR (disregard my PM).

Thank you both and sorry for any confusion.

Sorry about the mislabeling!

#23 @CStar9 sent a wonderful black and white Harvey Finkle photograph of Philadelphia in 1983. I was older than you were in 1983…now I feel old. LOL. I hear you about the vintage young adult timeline! Thank you so much for the well wishes. I have an amazing physical therapist who still comes to the house. He’s the absolute best! I couldn’t have gotten through this without him. He makes me laugh on the worst of days. I love the stamps you chose, and the washi and stickers, too! Thank you again!

#6 @mikeyz1 Great Goya card. Art and violence, always a great mix. Thanks.

#7 @RobinP I love this spotted cat and the ownership they’re expressing over this bar. And yes, I can see why your husband might regret that, but I would take full advantage!

#8 @Shesa-Renegade Thanks for the very colorful card! I’ll be in Mexico next year for a wedding. I hope it’s just as sunny.

#9 @WrenAtTheBeach I always visit bookstores when I travel. I look them up before I go actually. Reading has always been my favorite form of travel so it just made sense to me :upside_down_face:


#11 @sarahgrab1 My 2024 is up and down. I’ve applied to a lot of jobs and I’m getting lots of interviews. Hopefully they go somewhere. Unfortunately, my youngest cat is ill and it’s pretty stressful and expensive. Fingers crossed, he improves.

#12 @Yarn-Lady my eldest helps me do everything. She’d help me cook if I didn’t constantly shoo her away. Don’t you hate that they get old? If only they lived as long as us.

#13 @ladybug513 39% Is that more than the actual weather man? :upside_down_face: I love Groundhog Day it’s such a fun concept.

#14 @Hazygirl What a lovely card! I really love this design. I’ll have to look into this company. Thank you!


#15 @4kids2pay4 Haha good idea not to complain. I have an apron that says, “don’t make me poison you.” Love the state stamps.

#16 @jacieslar Aw, that’s sad. You should remind them that time is short and cookies are much tastier when made together.

#17 @nhigh Hi there! I saw Alice in wonderland in Italy and I was eager to see how they translated jabberwocky. I believe they didn’t, but since they translated most everything else, even some of the other weird words, I wondered if Italians thought that was an actual English word.

#19 @ellistrations I couldn’t imagine living near an active volcano. I’ll never forget watching Dante’s peak in grammar school. Scarred for life.

#20 @Triol thank you for the adorable Valentine’s Day card. I love bears. They are just so cute!

I don’t know why I love it so much, but you definitely read my “postcard vibe” correctly! I love your cards that always have more words than space on them :heart: I really hope things will get better for your family and that your 2024 will change to be the best year ever!

#10 @AtlasPostal St. Patrick’s Day can certainly be fun. I’m from Chicago and we dye the river grew and do river tours. It’s definitely a big drinking holiday though.

#21 @anon72566616 I do like kitchens! This one looks well used. I think I’m going to try a new chocolate cake recipe this weekend. I don’t have anyone to eat it with, but hey sacrifices.

#22 @uconn Nothing like a knife through the heart for Valentine’s Day :slightly_smiling_face: Love it.

#23 @CStar9 Hey there almost name twin! People would have to be able to spell our names to write them on stuff, but you know that’s a good idea. Maybe I should start getting mugs and pens and stuff with my name so people can see it more. And I always tell my friends to do their children a favor and name them Jane.

#26 @sarahaeyo Is anyone not a pizza person? It’s so delicious. I’m from Chicago so pizza is just a regular part of life, but of course we have a certain (i.e., the right) idea of what pizza is :upside_down_face:

#28 @TwoDoggies How was Mexico? My best friend just got back from there. She’s scouting wedding locations. She said it was beautiful. Hopefully your brother enjoyed it!

#29 @melvnoble What a nice card. I think I could do this ride depending on how fast it went. I took my mom to the Eiffel Tower and she wouldn’t go to the top. This was fine except I did and we lost each other for about an hour (this was before international cell plans). She was near hysterics when we found each other. Not the birthday gift I was thinking of.

#30 @RockyRoadTrip I love Indian food! Sadly, my favorite Indian restaurant burned down a few months ago. I haven’t found a good replacement.
