(I sent the last thing to NY) When worlds collide, I actually got your stuff! The NY address is my parents house, so when I went home for Christmas my mom gave it to me! I'll post a picture. A very big THANK YOU for my letter! I loved it! I've missed getting goon mail so much! On a side note, I hope everybody had a very happy holiday and welcome to 2012!

cardboardRobot posted:I'd love another custom postcard! The first one you sent me was all kinds of weird. I'd love some sort of angler fish or other deep sea thing. Did you receive this one?  Because this is about the weirdest I did, must say it was very late at night, alcohol might have been a factor. And dear cuntvalet, now you know why you should request something.

We're talking an envelope full of cat goodness, not necessarily for a cat (although it could be if your cat enjoys receiving mail full of cats).

Keetron posted:Did you receive this one? Yeah that was the one. I was going to send something to you when I sent stuff out last but couldn't quite make out your address on the card. I got a whole bunch more stuff to send out now though. Plenty of cards and a few things to put in with them. If you feel like drawing anything else on the postcard have at it. I love randomness and surprises. edit: Niemat posted:As a side question for everyone... is anyone all about receiving cat mail...?

So the other day I bought an extreme connect the dots book. If I can manage to get a scanner that works better than the one I have I plan on photocopying the pages so I can send a bunch to people instead of being limited to the amount of pages it comes with. That means more for everyone. Hope people don't mind. So would people be up for connecting 500-1400 dots and discovering what the picture is?

Keetron, I loved my Budapest postcard from you. It was brilliant! I should do some sketches and send some stuff that is homemade, now that the xmas rush is over and I can take my time with things. Would anyone like a gimped xmas Angel that came out of a portal funny, that I made awhile ago? Her DNA must have gotten a bit mixed up in that portal, cause she sure came out wrong... when worlds collide fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Jan 2, 2012 |

Says so right on the cover "Extreme Dot-To-Dot ________ Edition" Leaving that blank so as to keep it a surprise for the first few to do them. I've already scanned a couple and did them myself haha. It took me about fifteen minutes or so to finish one that was about 500 dots. People will definitely have to scan theirs once they're done and if people colour them then even better! I look forward to getting your mail Thermophonic Joy. As well as from everyone else. For the last year I've been eagerly checking the mailbox every day. I'll try taking a picture sometime soon of all the mail I've gotten from the past year. I hope this new year is filled with just as much goony love. I can't wait to get my next batch of mail together. I plan on starting that sometime soon. If anyone is particularly keen on getting an extreme connect the dot make sure to mention it to be sure I send you something. I can only afford to send so many at a time and it really is hard to choose who to send to so if you love doing those be sure to let me know! I will also take requests if there's anything you'd like me to take a crack at drawing for you. If I can't do it I'll try and figure something out. I've been lacking ideas for what to draw lately.

In the hustle bustle of Christmas/New Year I have neglected my posting duties! I have however been carefully photographing my wonderful horde of festive post to share with you...unfortunately either my camera or SD card seems to have eaten unknown numbers of my photos, so I’ve retaken some of the main cards but may be missing the full contents of the envelopes where you lovely people sent me stickers and such like! Apologies! Also sorry it has taken me sooo very long to thank you all! When I got back from the North before Christmas I arrived home to a very exciting little pile of letters.  Firstly, a wonderful collection of goodies from the lovely Lamb-  Loving that penguin! Showed my mum the recipe card and she was bemused by the ingredients list- not sure we have access to a lot of the items in the UK! I need to choose a suitable companion to play Hanukkah Charades with, but I was all over that Christmas Coundown...  Those stickers will definitely be put to good use next Christmas! Thank you so much! I’m sorry my card didn’t contain anything exciting --- Next up, a fab homemade card emanating blinding Christmas cheer-   You were right Eumenidy, my face quickly began to ache from too much smiling and I had to take regular breaks from gazing at your card in wonder. I was forced to load up clips of Mufasa getting trampled and Bambi’s mother getting shot just to give my muscles some relief! Thanks for the smiles (and the tears)! --- Lord Wombat sent me an incredible hand-drawn postcard of demented Christmas bees and a bee sticker.  Yes, as a goon, of course I do share your love of bees! I shall treasure my new insectoid friends- thanks! --- I love punk snowman and am now sad that we haven’t had know since I got this so I haven’t been able to recreate him in 3D. I have the carrots prepped...  Thank you for all the goodies Rufus en Fuego- I had to restrain myself from slipping while carving the ham this Christmas just so I could use that amazing plaster. Maybe next year... Love the patterned paper- if I can bear to cut it up I may have to use it in some sort of paper collage art. Also- I clearly need to dig out the old crayons to colour in those dinosaurs!  --- Another envelope full of delight arrived from When Worlds Collide...  Aside from the lovely card I received some brilliant stickers and a bookmark!  Did you read on another thread about me and my friend’s whale-theme gifting, or were those stickers pure, marvellous, coincidence? Either way- thank you so much- they are amazing! She is in her last year of uni and I will undoubtedly be sending her some post over the next few months- which will now be amazingly blinged out with these stickers. Thank you WWC! --- Over the next week, more post arrived... The magnificent Reverend Genesplicer graced me with a missive. But before I get to the card and contents, can I just say that the stamps on the envelope are amazing (both the postal ones and your ink stamps)-  Inside the envelope- a lovely homemade card-  Authenticated with another wonderful stamp-  Inside the card, a fab mini calendar to keep me up to date this year!  Instructions?  Ooh-  I confess, I haven’t answered the challenge yet. I shall endeavour to rectify that very soon! Finally, a lovely seasonal message-  Thank you very much! --- Team Lunch sent me a festive upside down envelope ( ) – Sadly, my camera seems to have eaten the photo of the actual front of your card My Mum put my goon mail in with our family cards but I can’t seem to find it at the moment to take another pic. Sorry On the plus side, I still have my pics of the contents- A devastatingly difficult dot-to-dot. I’m working on it, but it’s very challenging- it may take me a few months to complete!  Stickers (bring on next Christmas for reuse!) and a quiz card...embarrassingly I only knew the answer to A...oh dear...  Thanks Team Lunch! I hope you’re having a great time at college! --- Last but by no means least, goon mail from Japan! Once again, my camera ate my original photos (aaarg) so am missing the additional bits sent to me by the lovely Fish on a Stick. Sorry  Ooh! Another scratch card- I must reveal the mystery under the foil! I found my trusty 2p and after some hard labour, I uncovered-  ...ummm... Oh dear...I actually did a beginners Japanese course during my first year at uni and learnt Katakana and Hiragana...aaaand have promptly forgotten it all! Must dig out my old charts and decipher these symbols!  The year of the dragon? My favourite mystical beast! Hurrah! Thanks for your message and the educational challenge! --- Thank you everyone SO MUCH for all the lovely post! And apologies once again that I have been so horrendously slow in getting this post donel It’s a bit late to respond with Christmas cards now but I do have a zillion others for various occasions! If anyone does want to post/pm their birthdays (I hadn’t thought if the identity fraud issue either- a bit naive?) I have many such cards at the ready, and if not, I’m prepped for Valentine’s in any case! I hope you all had wonderful Christmases and each have a very, very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey card-senders, I wanted to say thank you again to the MASSES of you who sent me cards this year About four days before Christmas I was diagnosed with severe pancreatitis that sent me to the ER in another city in an ambulance, there to recover and get my gall bladder taken out, which happened on Christmas Day. Coming home after a few more days in the hospital and finding gooncards filled with stickers, glittery things, tattoos and notes absolutely made things better.

Holy crap! I have a bunch of get well cards and now I know where to send them! I will post a pic of my lovely holiday card display just as soon as I can figure out how to do so with this crazy spacephone. In fact, Keetron, can you make me a postcard about how to keep this phone from going all Skynet on me? More cards coming from me too. Definitely valentines, and maybe more if I can find something good and wintery that needs monsters or googly eyes or funny hats drawn on it.

Thank-you Team Lunch, and Miryei for the awesome cards! And also to lamb for the bundle of stuff. So awesome. There's nothing on my walls here so I am colouring in everything and putting them up instead of "real" art. I have a confession to make. I was so excited about sending cards out, I forgot to put postage on them. So they all came back to me. I am resending now. Sorry! I will be getting some international postage this week as well, AND I just bought some pencil crayons and markers. Can't wait to start drawing horrible stick figures to you all!

I'm glad you posted photos of the Genesplicer's great homemade card, I was also really impressed with the stamps and little calendar we received. My camera is being snarky and so I haven't taken any photos for awhile, I should however sort that and post a pic of my haul. The envelopes themselves are works of art and fun.

Ok, everyone.

If on the other hand, you do not want to continue, let me know and I will remove you ASAP. Otherwise, as long as you don't post in the thread eventually you will fall off of the list. Last bit of housekeeping, I owe big thanks to Van Goober (I did a bad job at painting the velvet tree ), mysa, Palette Swap (I am wearing the bracelet now - I absolutely love it), Team Lunch, wwc (again!), Comrade Koba, Chipbot, Fluffy Bunnies (oh god so much confetti all over my house), Slightly Used Cake, The Ninja Scotsman, eumenidy, Unexpected Road, Thermophonic Joy and Jendawn13!

Got a few more cards over the last couple weeks, from the genesplicers, carboardRobot, jadedhula, and Dangereuse's I just got a very belated box of cards in the mail, so I'm going to send a couple of those out before I start sending Valentine's cards. Or, 'know, I might just put heart stickers on my Christmas cards and call them Valentines.  Actually, that reminds me, I was so busy sending cards to strangers, I forgot to send them to my family. Ooops. I guess I should do that too!

Alright so I said I'd post a picture of all the mail I've received over the last year starting from the valentine's thread that spawned this one. On the left is from the valentine's thread, and to the right is everything from this thread. You guys are awesome! In front is the finger tentacle that Garbage Day sent me. Another goon made me the squid and mittens separate from any mail thread but I figured I'd add those in as well as they are still technically goon mail.  You guys are the best!
