Sharing the Love

it seems to have fizzled out.

Oii, if you guys want, I do web design and I could make a little site for that kind of stuff to post what people like for it, and just do it in the winter time.

I know it has fizzled out, but it was definately a cute idea. <3

its a cute idea but i'm broke all the time

aww
I wanted to go for this one too! =D

Well how about if we said...for the people that were interested...
you know those little padded jiffy bag envelopes you can get? well you know like an A5 sized one? (do you all use that system? like half a regular sheet of paper).
we could say that everyone who wants to participate, buys one of those and then so like...write a letter, just a short one...then say put in your favourite lyrics or poem...a postcard from where you are from...and then maybe a few little things you think the person would like...but say that noone of them can cost over a couple of £££ or $$$ or if you're crafty, make something!

it would just be a start...and if it went ok we could do it a bit bigger.

and postage for a padded envelope wouldnt be too much.
and they are quite wee so people wouldnt be expecting much.

and you could just put in the letter, which i think would have to be obligatory and the postcard...and then like just a couple of little things like stickers or a pair of earrings or something...or if you're arty a drawing or just some cool little personal stuff.

i love this idea

and britt...noone will not send anything...cos ill kick their ass! its a wee forum, it aint gonna happen on my watch!

Mwahaha I have a PO BOX too!!!

Last week she gave me a magazine with a big spread on T.I. cuz she knows how much I love himmm...and I got her beaded necklaces that she loves...mmmhmmm.

And awwwwwww Brittni that's soo cool!!!!!!

I'd be in on this if you guys do iiiittt...

I think this is a cute idea!

I'm still for it, and Kiki I like your new idea, but I'll still have to sit out a little while, maybe a month, while I fix my finances.

I think we'd need to be like...yeh you need to be reasonably active...'cause otherwise we dont reaaally know ya.
Say like over 100 posts or something.

well...if we say pm me to say you wanna do it...that'll give people just over a week to decide because i go away on holiday for a week on tuesday (*sniff*) so yeeeeh it makes sense to make that the thing i guess.
no addresses, just saying you wanna participate.

but wouldn't it be inconsistent with all the international shipping business? Like america to america would obvious cost less than Australia to Scotland...

hm, true. but then again, I wouldnt mind shelling out a bit more to ship overseas. :]

Well, it's about $7 to send a letter from here or Australia to Japan, and when I was a courier (early last year) it was roughly around about NZ$15 to send a Jiffy envelope to anywhere in the US or Europe/Asia. Should be about the same now because both of our dollars have gone up against pretty much everything.

If that's gonna be all you can spend, so be it, just write a letter and maybe make a postcard (well, they're only like a buck each anyway), and draw or make something small.

Anyway, I still think this is a great idea, and if we're going to have a full scale sending spree, there should probably be either a separate post like Brittni said, or edit the first post to put everyone's names who want to do it so everyone knows who's in and what not.

Ahh, the joys of being admin, eh Keeks?

We could all write letters and put them in bottles....and then use our totally awesome mafia mind powers to send them across the ocean...

Lol Mandy. You're cute.

However, I am a bit upset that I'm missing out on these awesome mafia mind powers. !11

Yeah...they are only slightly imaginary. *sadface*

I wanna do the love letter in a bottle thing. And I'll put my number down and then my dream guy will find the bottle and call me and we'll be together forever

ok well if people wanna take part...just as sort of preliminary numbers, you should send me a message over the next week. ive already had a couple and ill post the list when i come back. its just...theres not much point going into the effort of making a post and stuff if noone really does it...and people might be influenced by who is on the list...but yeh PM me.

then when i get back...we can sort out how its going to work.

obviously you wont be picking who you want to swap with, but if you think you cant afford at the moment to post to another country and would rather stay within your own then we can arrange that.

I'm gonna sit this one out, I've already got a ton of thank you notes to send out on top of other things so I've got enough to mail out as it is.

i haven't read through all the suggestions and what not... but this sounds like an awesome idea...
i personally would prefer to ship within America...

i got a lil dicouraged over the last secret santa thing i did because it was diy and the girl that got me sent me a canvas bag with an iron thingy that was falling off...a dream catcher like the ones you get at travel stops and some old teddy bear thing...it all smealt like smoke...it was kind of gross...i didn't even want to send mine because i spent so much time on it and the person that was my SS was so lazy about the gift

i trust that the girls on here would not be so careless!!!

aw that sucks.
and yeh i think this will be good

but just in case, i think it is good t ostart of with a wee thing like the small envelope and see how to goes.
