Just got these “like” postcard prints in the mail from Print Pinball, on their beautiful textured house cardstock. The design has been updated slightly from the POSTCARD OF THE MONTH CLUB version, but honestly, this card should never have been printed any other way.

The jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk DREAM DATE contest has ended, and I decided instead of picking winners, I’d just send these postcard prints to everyone who entered. I’m bad at contests and can’t believe anybody entered so you all win!

Here are some of my favorite quotes pulled from your personal “dream date” submissions:

“pause movie to get dessert, then resume movie and finish dessert”

“Someone telling me how great and hilarious I am while constructing a room dedicated entirely to naps”

“1) A classy dinner @ Chicken Fil-A.
2) Puppies on the face.
3) Repeat steps 1 & 2 forever!”

“we’d probably fall asleep but in the morning we could eat cereal and watch Adventure Time in bed”

“‘That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.’”

“We talk about the places we’ve traveled to. Ideally she’s been to a lot of places.”

“The day starts with my fella picking me up and taking me sailing on the bay in a small boat. Even though I know how to sail, I would let him teach me.”

“my dream date would be with a boy who is my perfect match”

That last one gets bonus points for using “perfect match” in the first sentence, and the Miss Congeniality quote was a good one. “Puppies on the face” came from my only housemate (out of 5) who doesn’t have a tumblr — impressed!
