Huntress and Fraze 's card came in today! :3 Definitely agreed that it has a solstice-y vibe to it, especially with its text talking about the return of light. That's sweet that it reminded you of me haha, it's a beautiful photo and nice sentiment (I also love the little Meepit haha)! Thanks for it and the well wishes ^^

We have our first card too - a few days ago, in fact - and it's Celestial 's =D I think we ended up expressing pretty much the same wishes at one another this year. A meetup is going to work out somehow one of these years, dangit *shakes fist at the universe* And man, the Town drawings are excellent and gave me a much needed nostalgia shot. Think that's the push I needed to get back into drawing again. Thank you!

Got my card from Huntress and Fraze today! It is glittery and beautiful and I love it. Shame there are no cookies, but the meeting eating cookies works too. If/when we manage to meet up, yes, there have to be cookies, whether it is this year or another time. <3

Much overdue update! I must state that my cards have been sent *loud throat clear* recently, and now they are all out and in the system, fly, fly my pretties, and all this sort of cackling. They will be more of a January new year affair than a December Solstice affair. Turns out that it took me longer this year to scrounge the mental health ration tickets required for this mission.There are a few different designs, there may be accidental repeats but only because I really liked the designs, there may be accidentally repeated text but only because I mean it. At the end of last week I got a nice wee Bunch which included the cards of Twillie it is lovely and bright and springful -just what I need- and dainty, thank you for the kind wishes! Celestial why yes I did think of the shortbread tin as soon as I saw it, and the contents are shortbread for the soul ^.^ Thanks for the sweet message and for indulging that silly art request of mine~ Carolyn yes I am very cold here *huddles* aaah thank you for the adorable stickers and for the birb, birb friend, always glad to see your art!! And then I got a second wee Bunch with the cards of Ginz ❤ it's gorgeous, I love how you designed it, and it has such a pleasant glittery texture! Eee the Irma sticker is adorable. Thank you for the fuzzies ;u; Why do Estonian cards get classy greeting poems when French cards only get awfully cheesy ones? (definitely not language bias no) It is gorgeous and silvery and such a dazzling meepit-enhanced design on the inside and thanks for the bonus language lesson!! Sometimes I consider writing the date on the cards I send because it has been a few years of this, but. Time is an illusion. (I will write the date another time if requested >.>) Also considering making some sort of collage of envelopes because I keep them all (for handwriting and stickers) and the pile is a-growing.

A number of cards came my way over the past few days! :3 I always love the large collection of stickers you give alongside the card! You may have said before already, but where do you find such a good variety of them? I tried to get some good stickers this year but struggled to find any that weren't for birthdays or weddings lol. I'm not much of a sticker collector on my own time, so I never know the best places to look. The the card itself, such a pretty and simple picture on the front and a nice message inside~ I love the giant cat sticker and the pun you left inside its own little card xD Thank you!
Oh my goodness, I love the grumpy cat on the front, I can definitely understand its feelings indeed xD The note inside is also really nice, thanks for the well wishes and kind words ^^ Back at you, keep being awesome :3 The Queen sketch is also great, you captured her sass perfectly! Thank you <3
Aw, such a sweet photo of the polar bear parent and their cub, I love it <3 Also an amazing cat sticker, so adorable x3 I hope your next year is good for you too, thank you!
Aw, thank you so much for the lovely card and note ^^ (also a random detail that I couldn't help but notice, but your handwriting is so pretty!) I really appreciate the kind words, and it's always a treat to chat and be friends with you too! I wish good things your way as well in the coming year :3 I also like the little W.I.T.C.H. sticker; I've only read a little of it, but their magic girl outfits always felt iconic to me x3)

Two cards arrived today for me. =D Birdy Oh my gosh, the amount of stickers on the envelope and the card is utterly phenomenal! I am blown away by how many there are, and how lovely they all are. You also did a great job with the Scottish Gaelic, which I have been trying to learn, so that is appreciated. Made me smile so hard Ginz ❤ Aaah, it's a lovely card, and the words on it in translation are sweet (heh). The W.I.T.C.H. sticker hit me right in the nostalgias, since I used to watch that show as a kid. Plus your kind words are very much loved, and the encouragement, while not strictly needed, is nevertheless welcome.

I received a good number of the cards thus far, but have been really slow to post about them. Know they've been 100% making my day and finding a place by the television within a matter of minutes to be enjoyed and displayed. <3 Birdy - Oh my goodness, those bird stickers are sublime. Every time I see your card, I have a big, dorky grin on my face. Thanks oodles. <3 Celestial - CAPERCAILLIE. I have a serious need. When it's safe to travel to Europe again (or like, to travel at all, haha...) I will look forward to seeing one of these incredible beasties (maybe with you and Thundy, if you'd like)! Absolutely love it. Huntress and Fraze - Ahh I love how sparkly it is! <3 Absolutely lovely card. And the little kitty! And the doodle! <3 Twillie - Your card brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much, Twillie, you're so very kind. *hugs* Ginz ❤ - Oh my goodness, what a pretty card. I love poinsettias, they never fail to bring me a smile, and the lovely message inside brought me a huge smile. What are the cute anime characters on the bottom? They're adorable! And I was reading the Spanish from the stamp. Are they from the Museum of Popular Art? I like the vase stamp, it's really neat! Pixie - Aw, Neopets and fox stickers?? I love. ;; Thank you so much for the wonderful card. Liou - Awww oh my gosh look at the lovely creatures all around the tree! This is just the cutest, most perfect card for a biology geek like me. And I love how sparkly it is! Legit let out a very happy squeal when I saw it. (Also, your handwriting is soooo nice, Liou). I love birb. Baltimore Oriole friend is much cuteness, very adorbs. And kitty sticker! Thank you for being an awesome friend. I'm so glad we can share our love of the Times together! =D

The mail has resumed after Christmas, and I got a card from Pixie! Thank you so much! Those are really cute polar bears (I...I think I might have sent you some polar bears too. xD). Also a huge fan of the stickers. It's been great joining you for adventures too, and I hope I can be part of a few in 2022 as well. By the way, anybody who has received a card from me, if you want to, feel free to post the little art inside, if you can get a scan/photo. ^^

Super-belated updates, go! \ o / I have (obviously, as people have been commenting about it) sent my cards out, and am happy to see they're arriving! Hooray! \ o / So glad y'all are enjoying them. ^^ (And the stickers. x3; ) But to be more specific... Twillie - Bwee, thanksies~ Decorating the cards with as many stickers I can get my hands on is one of my favourite parts, I admit. x3; As for where I get them, I tend to get them at the Dollar General or Dollar Tree store! Can't beat a dollar for a nice sheet/book of stickers. <3 And y'welcome! Glad you like the card and cat and pun. x3 (Fun fact: The cat "sticker" was actually sold in a pack with other critters as gift tags, but I saw them and went "...GIANT STICKERS 8D", and then ultimately decided to write puns in them. Because puns are awesome. ^^) Celestial - Yee, thanks! Glad to hear the stickers survived the trip. <3 I mean yeah I did plaster tape all over the ones on the envelope but there're still the ones inside. >.> <.<And aww, thanks <3 Glad to hear the internet didn't lie to me with translation, heh. And hoorah! I remember you saying something about learning Scottish Gaelic, which I admit is one of the main reasons I wanted to try and send a greeting in it to you. Glad it brought a smile. ^^ Carolyn - Hooray! You are very welcome. <3 Glad the stickers were a hit. ^^ The moment I saw them in the store, I knew I had to buy them for your card. =3 Even if I had to improvise a little by using other stickers to make them festive but shhhh... <.< >.>And I have been receiving cards too~! So far, I have ones from Twillie , Carolyn , Fraze and Huntress , Celestial , and Pixie ! Thank-you all so much. <3 Your cards and messages have absolutely brightened my December. ^^ But again to be more specific... Twillie - Shiny glittery stickers! I love them, thank-you. <3 And thank-you for the lovely message inside. ♥ May the new year bring you great things as well! Carolyn - Such a pretty card, thank-you! I love the picture on the front. <3 And the drawings inside, too! I'll have to see if I an scan them in later and show them off, if that's okay with you. ^^ And many thanks for the warm wishes inside as well. <3 Fraze and Huntress - Frunty card, Frunty card! Shiny glittery Frunty card! \ o / (And a Meepit stamp on the envelope and an adorable Meepit inside too!) Thank-you for the lovely message inside. ^^ (Though alas, it is indeed a shame we can't exchange cookies as well. </3 ) Celestial - Kitty! <3 I do indeed like the card. ^^ Thank you for the lovely message as well, and the drawing of borb! I will indeed be getting it scanned (or a picture taken or something) so I can share it with everyone. =3 Pixie - I love the stickers and tape you decorated the envelope with! And such a birdish card as well, thank-you! I love all the stickers inside, and thank you so much for the constellation owl sticker!! I love it. ♥ The card is full of seasonal cheer indeed, thank-you. <3

After being away for a whole weekend, I returned to open a card from the wonderful Liou! It's super pretty and a super cute design. Even cuter is the little grey seal inside, whose nose I want to squish. Thank you for all your well-wishes, and you are an amazing friend too. <3

Guh, this is way too overdue. Our mail has in fact been moving at reasonable speed, but ssssomehow I never got around to pinging feedback to the cards that made it in safely. Liou 's card actually came pretty shortly after Christmas if memory serves (in a shiny gold envelope, no less!) and is a magnificent work of art inside and out <3 The elegant catto tree is entirely my aesthetic, and you write the best wishes, and your meepits put mine to shame, gotta up my meepit game next year. Then, shortly before New Year, we actually got a card from Ginz ❤ . The Mexican postal system really outdid itself this year. The kids didn't seem to mind the lack of stickers, I had to rescue the card from Sunshine because she wanted to walk around holding it and it wouldn't have survived that very well :'D It's such a gorgeous card tho! Then, sometime in the first weeks of January, this exchange happened: Fraze, getting home from work, holds out an envelope: "Well, we have the winner of the stickers game." Me: "Birdy? *looks at address* Yep, Birdy ." EVERYTHING IS STICKERS. Even the stickers have stickers. I'm going to hold on to that envelope. The card also needed a bit of rescuing from baby, but it'll be held onto for future years when they can grasp the stickers better =D Thank you! And a few days after that Twillie 's card came as well - if memory serves, yours and Birdy's have always come pretty close together every year. Get the feeling they come through the same sorting center. Thank you for the good wishes ^^ And then we got Pixie 's card, which might actually be the only classic fluffy-bearded Santa card we've ever gotten. Just the right bit of nostalgic feel =D Also got Carolyn 's card about a week back, and all of your bird and nature descriptions hit a strangely sentimental spot because, well, this is all entirely familiar. We're a coastal country and a coastal city and it was strangely comforting to read a message from this far away that I just get, y'know? And while I'm at it, scanned the art from Celestial 's card :3 Thank you, everyone, for all the good wishes and pretty cards and stickers and thoughts and being part of this again <3 I'll just go on ahead and mark my calendar for November 1st this year, so as to kick the next one off at a more reasonable time and with less uncertainty.

Birdy Sorry it took me a bit to let you know, but your card got here on Friday! <3 I'm amazed at all the super cute stickers, and the card itself is adorable!! It made me incredibly happy and brought some holiday cheer forward! Thank you so much!! And thank you for your patience with our slow mail, hah. At least I thought it'd make you happy to know that it finally arrived to me safely! <3

I've got a long overdue update on a couple of cards that came in; I received them some time ago, but for whatever reason I delaying any actual post about them until now.
Carolyn Thank you for the adorable puppy card and lovely note inside! :3 I also love the little doodles you added with the snowman and holly, they're really cute! The ornament was a cool surprise, such a cool dragon illustration and little backstory to it! I'll definitely be keeping it on hand for future holiday seasons :3 Liou What a pretty card with fun textures (and bonus puffy cat sticker on the inside!) =D I love all the little touches you added, like the golden highlights and doodles, and how each exclamation mark has its own custom doodle. The note as well is very lovely, and I appreciate all the well wishes! Thank you for the thoughtful card, as well as the amazing Gibi drawing! (I love how wistful she looks, and the flow of her hair turning into little shapes and flowers at the end <3) Speaking of drawings, I also wanted to include Celestial 's drawing of Queenie =D
