Got a couple more cards as well! Kat Love the gorgeous art of the card! I find it really cool the use of geometric shape and sharp angles to stylize it, it always draws my eyes in and has me finding new detail! Thank you for the lovely note inside, I shall indeed work to make more good art! I look forward to more chatting as well, I'm happy to have gotten to know you over the past year! Liou Oooh, what a lovely drawing of magic!Zathandria, I love it so much!! You make the fire look so graceful and warm~ Your handwriting as always is beautiful, and I love that extra touch of the golden pen to highlight certain words =D Thank you for the well wishes for everything, I look forward to what the future may bring as well! A good coming year to you too!

So.... not an update. But you know what my favorite part of this tradition is? It's not actually sending the cards, or receiving them. It's reading people's responses to everyone else's cards! The "update" posts are so fun to read, and my favorites aren't even necessarily finding out people got mine and are responding to my card, but that's certainly fun too. It really is the shared updates, and even the, "Oh, [person 1] got their card from [person 2] too!" and seeing the differences in the cards sent to each other.

So my mum this morning went to the old house to hand over the keys to the agency. And what did she find there but my last stray card from Ginz ❤, arriving just in time before we left! Your card is so pretty and sparkly, Ginz. <3 The lovely message inside was really heartwarming. I needed to hear some of those words, especially since my self-esteem has not been A+ amazing lately. I am glad you think I am creative and driven. And with that safely arrived, that's all my cards for this year. See you all next year!

It is now February! if the rest of the cards that I have sent out do not reach their destinations very shortly, then I will be forced to aim a very disappointed look at the world in general.

Yeah, the postal system really is stretching out the holiday cheer for us all this year xD We didn't get anything new all January, but then yesterday Fraze came home with a brand new envelope. it card! from Thorn ! Turns out this postal slog is making each arrival all the more exciting, so I'm glad you did decide to take part this year <3 Thank you for the cute reindeer, and the wishes, and the historical dinosaur. Traveler was excited for the dinosaur, as expected.

Ah wow, that did take a while! Glad it arrived safely, Hunty! <3 And that Traveler liked the dinosaur- I happened to have some pretty cute ones and figured I would share. What should arrive for me today but a card from Liou? Oh my gosh, Liou, the animals in their lil' scarves really made my day. <3 Thanks for the kind wishes- and the sparkliest of Aaravos-es, whose sparkles survived the mail and are looking very fabulous indeed!

Hurray, my objectified sparkly elf was successfully delivered to Thorn!
More news today! The card that I sent to Ginz has also reached its destination! The mail is still alive \o/ (And the card I sent to Carolyn had also arrived in the meantime, note to self in this thread for bookkeeping~)
So the only card I still need to receive is: the card from Nat, and the cards I sent that still need to reach their destinations are: the cards to Birdy, Frunty, Kat, Pixie and Thundy. I hope they travel safely and swiftly! *stern glance at calendar* 8I
Keeping Up With the Kards~

Okay, so picture this: It's a particularly bleh afternoon in some bombhole country that's managed to climb to the European covid top by now (whoo!) and is currently covered in a fine layer of treacherous ice because we're getting freezing rain, what is this absolute nonsense You venture outside to pick up a package from all the bleh, and on the way back you check the mail, and lo A CARD with perky Christmas swirlies and an equally perky stamp by some overworked fella in the Royal Mail that reads Shop Early, Send Early This Christmas. Celestial , it survived the trip! =D (and the card itself is such a mood!) We're theorizing that it was floated here over the English channel on the back of some particularly valiant sheep in the Brexit resistance (which then sauntered here at the average pace of 3 kilometers per hour according to Fraze's calculations) BUT HEY, here it is now, as a wee spark of holiday joy in the midst of the aforementioned bleh. Thank you for the drawings, and the wishes (and the mood) and we'll most definitely get a visit going in some direction after all of the nonsense.

Double posts are okay when it's been like a week, amiright? Looks like the thaw got the mail moving again, because we now also got Liou 's card =D Yours are always little works of art where the text and decorations and stuff form a cohesive whole and it's just such a nice warm fuzzy thing to look at. Thank you for all the awesome wishes and Best Bro Jeran the Mushroom Farmer, this was just the thing to immortalize for the ages <3

Huntress \o/ Yaaay so glad it thawed and got there! I hope Tomato Jeran uuh took the time to go on a nice mushroom farm tour on the way. It's that extreme vegetable counting phase that teens tend to go through. (Tomato plants are weirdly fun to draw)

Ginz ❤ -- Your card finally found its way to my abode. Such a cute card, and thank you for the lovely note. Yes, the past year has been hard, but I think I can finally see a light at the end of the (very long) tunnel! Yours is the last card I was waiting on. I really do love this event each year!
