Szandra Posted Jan 25, 2009, 11:31 pm	Valentine's day is coming soon and I thought it would be fun to send little presents each other. I had that idea from the "Holiday wishlists 2008" (what I realised too late), but this time let it be a surprise what will you receive. You don't have to think for big things, if you send only a postcard with some nice words, people will be happy with that too. The main thing is to think of others and try to make a smile on their face! Anybody wants to join? babyamy had some great ideas! So here are the details: Each participant sending 3 letters/postcards. You have to send me your address until Monday, February 2nd. Then I choose by random three addresses per person, so that in the end each person writes and recieves 3 surprises. The letters/postcards should be send until Saturday Feb. 7th to make sure that they arrive in time. Participants: Penvmbra - SENT Received from: Szandra babyamy - SENT Received from: vickyp Szandra - SENT Received from: kiskis and Steve & Helly kiskis - SENT Received from: babyamy minnihiiru Received from: babyamy and Szandra vickyp - SENT Received from: babyamy, Szandra Steve & Helly - SENT
Penvmbra Posted Jan 27, 2009, 11:00 pm	Yes, I think that would be nice...how do we participate?
babyamy Posted Jan 28, 2009, 4:25 am	I'd like to join, too. I'm in the US right now, it would be great to get some of letters here. And the Americans really love Valentine's day, they have a lot of great postcards. I think we should figure things out until the weekend, since international post will take about a week, so we should send the letters/postcards during the next week.
Szandra Posted Jan 28, 2009, 3:19 pm	Penvmbra and babyamy, thanks for participating! First post was edited!

vickyp Posted Feb 25, 2009, 1:29 pm	Hi there , I was just checking what happened with the surprises, and I saw that there is no update from Penvmbra and Steve&Helly about the surprise I send them. Did you receive it? I hope so! Take care Vicky
Szandra Posted Feb 28, 2009, 9:42 pm	Sorry that I didn't make any updates in this topic, but I didn't feel myself well in the last few days. I'll ask everybody who hasn't received anything! Maybe they just forgot to write that the presents arrived.
vickyp Posted Feb 28, 2009, 10:00 pm	Hi Szandra, I hope you are feeling better now I am still missing one surprise, maybe it's lost in the mail Take care Vicky
Steve & Helly Posted Apr 15, 2009, 12:12 pm	Hi, Thank you everyone SO much for my gifts. Many, many apologies for not replying sooner. Steve has been unwell and we've been going back and forward to the hospital for exploratory work. Luckily it appears not to be cancerous, which was our fear, but furtehr tests are to come. I loved the postcard, whcih is on my wall at work. The cat keyring is gorgeous. I have him as a phone dangle. It's the cat with the strawberry head. The letter was a wonderful surprise and it was really interesting reading about your culture. Finally, the note book and pencil is lovely and has gone to our house in France where we use it to plan our projects! So, thank you all very much. Love Helly xxxx
