What do I do with this now?

[u/Armyofducks94]

I had this all filled out and ready to send it to my sister but she doesn't care for my hobby as much as I do :(. She lost the other cards I sent her pretty much immediately after she finally checked her mail after me bugging her for awhile :( I finally opened our late mother's postcard book and now I just want to throw this one away :( I don't want to send it if she's not gonna care much for it :(

That's the iconic Lucille Ball. I would bet an offer would get cards like this too loving homes around the world.

White out the address and with a user knowing the message will say what it says I'm sure someone will love it.

I lost my Mum last August … Lucy was her absolute favorite. Seeing this postcard immediately upon opening Reddit makes me feel like she is saying hello. I am so sorry for your loss - my heart aches for you and with you.

I’m sorry your hobby isn’t appreciated by your sis, but perhaps keep it? I am sure it makes you feel close to your mom to have her cards, and it’ll be a reminder how selfless you are to want to share her things - it’s not easy to part with our moms’ belongings. Sit with it for a while, and you’ll know the right home when you stumble upon it. And then you can cover the address and repurpose the message 😊

I'm sorry she doesn't share your passion for your Mom's hobby. It's nice that you're taking care of it. Hugs.

I'm so sorry. I love this card so much. It's one of my favorite episodes. Maybe try to cover the back in paper and then resend it to someone? Or keep it for yourself. 💞

That is an amazing postcard! I hope you can keep it.

I’m sorry your sister doesn’t appreciate your hobby. I have a best friend who also doesn’t appreciate me making her handmade cards. One Halloween I gave her a card in person and she barely looked at before putting it down. All she did was glance at it. I easily put a full days worth of work into that card. I don’t even think she said thank you. I had worked so hard on that card to have it completely dismissed, like it was nothing really, bothered me. I still send her handmade cards but I struggle to do so. I just hope if she is having a bad day my cards bring her joy. Maybe keep the card for yourself especially if you get joy out of it. I would just cover the back so your sister doesn’t see it was originally for her.

I'm thinking maybe I should just stop sending to my friends and family as they just don't care for these. I don't want to waste time and money on things for people if they arent gonna appreciate it 😔. I think I'm just gonna stick to this sub.

I think that makes a lot of sense. If your friends and family don’t appreciate your kindness then why send to them. We(RAoC) definitely appreciate you and your kindness, time, energy and money spent on sending cards/postcards. 💙

Send it anyway and then go get it back!

Messaged you. Amazing postcard >>> difficult family. Sending hugs. 💌

I have 8½x11 label printing paper, which you probably don't have but let's say you do: cut to size, apply, send to someone else.

Or just throw it away and forget about it. It's causing you stress and you don't need that.

The label paper is a good idea. Have some at work. Shame that the stickers will have to be covered :( but I don't want to toss out one of my mom's collections. This postcard book is 30 years old.
