2011 Birthday Card Project

So, 21 images are already in our heart for Rufus, yet if someone wants to attach your photo, here is the last chance before the end of this month.

Hey the postman was busy today! 3 more messages arrived . From anachibi, LTMRS and Lassie - love them all. There are some great ideas this year. ana your I commend your genius in both design and packaging - it arrived in perfect condition as did they all. LTMRS I don't know what you were worried about, I wish I'd thought of that myself and Lassie again brilliant and you are so thoughtful. Thank you very much

I won't say that I'm starting to feel inadequate again... LOL

[kygal]

LOL Rumantic!

[annachibi]

*snuggles rumantic* I'm sure yours is great! What matters is that these messages are all from the heart!

I just packaged it up like that because I didn't want anything damaged by weather or what have you. I don't have any experience with international mail lol. But my sister once got a letter from her best friend that lives in the same state as us, and it was chewed to pieces like it'd gotten stuck in a machine or something. Not that that would have helped if that'd happened to mine, but... I guess I just wanted to make sure it couldn't possibly be my fault if something happened.

I once got a plastic baggie in my mailbox with a corner of an envelope in it. There was also a note from the postal service telling me that this was all that was left of some mail that had been sent tome.....it was one of the bottom corners and it had absolutely nothing on it! It was also completely empty...so I know what you mean, and now I am twice as glad that mine is already there so I don't have to loose sleep over the thought that it would show up damaged!

[nell]

Oh dear I didn't mean to make anyone feel inadequate and no-one that has sent a message should. All the messages are clearly from the heart and are all beautiful. They are all different too which is great as I'm sure Rufus won't want to read 21 messages that are all the same.

I just got a bit excited getting 3 messages in the post on the same day!!

Thanks to everyone that's taken part. Now I need to figure out how on earth I'm going to fit it all into a card. There goes another rainforest!

I am afraid mine one is not very thin either...if it arrives...i hope it will, but if not, at least I made is with a lot of love an care.

Oh dear I didn't mean to make anyone feel inadequate

I was only kidding this time, Nell. Good luck fitting them all in, and I can't wait to see the finished product!

Chocolate, no worries....everyone else's has arrived, I'm sure yours will too.

[annachibi]

I'm very excited to see how it all comes together! Don't envy you having to do it, though. Thanks again for taking this on, Nell!

[bastognegirl]

I would like to participate in this too!
If I get it well, I send a photo of myself to stama(by email) and a "real" birthdaycard to nell?
I can take my card to the postoffice tomorrow, from Belgium to the UK it usually takes only a day or 3, 4...am I not too late yet?

[nell]

Hi bastognegirl and welcome. There's room for another one. I've sent you a pm.

[bastognegirl]

Thanks nell and stama! Photo is off already, that was actually the easy part...card and message will be made and send out tomorrow!

[nell]

That's great blastognegirl. Just 1 thing - you just need to send a message on a piece of card. You don't need an actual card as well as I won't be able to include that. I look forward to receiving your message.

[bastognegirl]

Ze message is on the way Nell! Thanks for all you do here
