Celestial Tien just how long did you spend on this I have no words Thank you for the offensively gorgeous art and excellent birb I am just booping all the little loops of your g's j's and y's xD A fair amount of time. Hey, I have birthday pens I need to use. I think yours was the more complex of all my ideas, but I am happy with how it turned out. And the birb, well, it makes me think of you so it makes sense. You booping my silly handwriting is the cutest thing, btw.

It begins! Birdy it's a SHINY, and there are so many cute friend stickers to welcome me home, omw!! You tucked in the envelope so nicely.

Huntress, I recieved your card! The little gnome on it is adorable and it is nice that we actually got a correspondence going here. I knew you liked the art already but seeing that acknowledged in card form is even sweeter. And whoo, cat snuggles via card. Thank you, they shall be treasured!

Glad you liked the card, Birdy! <3 My first two cards arrived today...just in time for Christmas! =D Huntress and Fraze : Ahh, thanks for the cute lil meepit and Christmas wellwishes! Meepit seems to be having an excellent time on the sled- and thankfully it did arrive before my-winter, hooray! xP It was so nice to find this in the mailbox this morning, big thank. <3 Celestial : Penguins!!! These penguins are quite different to our penguins (and just as cute!!!), but thanks for remembering we have them! I opened the card while hanging out with Tsuki's rper and halfway through a sentence was all: "wait LOOK, look what she drew!!!!" (and since you gave us permission to share, here 'tis!) This is a photo of the card rather than a scan- so may not do it justice- but still. Ahhhhhh! You draw my kid so adorable- and Floral is alive and happy again! Perfect lil giftart, thanks so much. ^_^

So many birbs to greet me inside. =DD Many thanks for the birbs and lovely message. <3 Thundy - You know, if someday I can ever afford to travel, the London Eye is one of the things I'd like to see someday. So this is a perfect card. =D (Though alas, no snow for me either this Christmas. </3 But yes, it's always nice to dream. ^^ )

At long last, I was able to mail the international cards today! I've received four cards so far, and so far I am loving this event. BirdyI got your card first and it truly made my day! It was just really fun to open, too; with all the lovely stickers and glitz, it made me really happy. The menorah beadcraft (which arrived perfectly intact) is now resting on the fireplace mantle! AllisonWhat a lovely Chanukah card-- Thank you so much! I really like the menorah illustration; it is very cheery! ThundyThank you for the wonderful Holiday card! The card you chose is just gorgeous and the commentary about the snow made me laugh. The stamp you used was also lovely! Liou Your card was honestly pure, concentrated heartwarming. I can't get over this cute shimmery winter holiday card, with tiny puffy stickers and the most elegant handwriting I've ever seen. The message brought me near happy tears. Thank you so much!

Allison, I got your card yesterday but forgot to mention with all the fuss of preparing for Christmas. Thank you. <3 Peanuts is lovely and the sentiment inside just as wonderful.

I got a handful of cards, some from before Christmas and some the past couple days! Also, apologies now to everyone who gets my cards and is cursed for the next thousand years with glitter. Pixie Oh my goodness, a custom card!! Is that your dog??? Aw, I adore everything about this card and your message on it~ <3 Thank you for all the fun, personal touches, and a thank you back for your friendship as well! Thorn Haha, I love the sandman snowman, especially his little feets x3 Reminds me of how soon I'll get to escape the Midwest winter for a month for more tropical climate x3 And cheesy Christmas card is just as nice as solstice card! :3 (I dunno if I've come across any before myself either I had to check online to see what solstice cards may look like) I love the stickers you added as well! (the little letter llama <3) Haha, speaking of cool street names, my sister was asking about the cards I got, and when she saw your street name she had the same reaction! And yee, Christmas movies are a nice way to spend the season, I've been partaking in a couple of my favorite holiday movies as well :3 Thank you for the well wishes and card! Liou Oh my goodness, this card is so beautiful <3 The decorated reindeer against the snow night is already gorgeous, but then your perfect handwriting is just the icing in the cake, omg~ Such a lovely note inside as well, thank you so much for it <3 It's indeed been a refreshing time with a lot of new starts coming alongside the new year, and I'll take your encouragements to heart <3 I hope it's been a lovely time for you as well, thank you so much ^^ Celestial Oh my, I was legitimately breath taken when I first opened your card! Your Mary is so beautiful, and I was not at all expecting it at first open I hope she was fun to draw for you =D In reply to the note, I'm doing well! A lot of prepping for the new year and also reorganizing and packing up old stuff from this past one (literally- my room is a mess right now x3). And yesss, the card is beautiful! I love cards like this that are a little piece of art on their own, like I could frame and hang this if I really wanted! Thank you so much for the card and everything inside it <3 And the lovely Mary art~ Birdy Aww, so many cute things with this card! I'm digging all the stickers you added to it, especially the one with Santa holding the cat and the little wolf and its scarf <3 The front of the card with baby penguin decorating the tree is also really cute x3 I also got a kick out of how secured the envelope was; I'm not careful opening an envelope on a good day, so there may have been some extra casualties to the envelope in opening it this time alas x3 Thank you for the note inside as well, well wishes to you and your holiday season as well :3 Allison Haha yess, the Elf quote is perfect! Such a pretty card too, oh my~ I love your signature Peanuts cards, and this one especially has such lovely art (and so much glittery snow @w@). Thank you for the well wishes, a happy holidays to you too, I hope it's a lovely time for you~

Twillie Yay, I am so happy you liked the Mary art! I was a bit stumped at first as to who to draw for you, since you have so many good characters with amazing designs. In the end, I settled on Mary because she would be a fun challenge for me and that poofy hair would be good to render with pen. The little present was just a nice touch, because even Mary deserves some festive love. I am also delighted you liked the card! Tbh, that particular one was a quick rush into a card shop, since it was done just as I was waiting for a bus and suddenly remembered. But I am really happy with that selection and I am flattered you think it is worth framing. Speaking of cards, I also got yours! It is such a bright, colourful card, with gorgeous ponsiettas. The drawing you did of Meallan inside is also really great. You captured my silly idiot nerd child's love of books well, even if beards are hard. Thank you also for the well-wishes and lovely sentiments. I definitely also hope grad school goes well and I have lots of opportunities too. Pixie, technically I got yours yesterday, so it was still in time for Hanukkah! I just did not post anything because most of yesterday I spent down with a migraine. It is so cute! I assume that is your pug, since you mentioned having one. I just want to squish and smoosh and kiss that face. <3 Please do so for me. And thank you for the lovely message. <3 It made me feel very fuzzy and loved to read. I miss writing with you too.

There was a bit of a break and then Poof, a bunch of cards popped out of my letterbox like champagne! Allison, thanks for the starry sparkly card in a lovely colour and the sweet wishes within! I love the way you matched the envelope and glossy seal sticker and the shiny pen on the outside~ Twillie, I got yours today too, it's so glittery aaah *rubs face* I recognised the characters before I could even think, they're in a cute, retro style, thank you for them and the kind encouraging message! *hugs card* Pixie is this best girl Evie?? thank you for sharing best girl!! You went and designed this whole thing omw! I too shall squishsmoosh the fluff face. Holiday cards never have enough cute animals on them imo and you actively fixed that. Thanks for the message that brought back great memories. <3 Fraze Huntress What a lovely view perfectly highlighted by shinies, that looks like an excellent place and very much deserves to star on cards. The little Meepit brought some refreshments, how thoughtful! And the lil kitty sticker is adorable ^^ Many many thanks for the wishes in many many languages <3
