Freak looks like we need a mailing_address page! 031125
...
Freak am i the only other person who thinks this is a good idea? 031127
...
nomme i'll send some!

i'm going to make cards
if anyone wants a card from me:
email me your address (i've noted yours already Freak, so expect something in a few weeks from me (as soon as i can get some materials and stamps)
they won't be anything specifically religiousish or holidayish, just whatever i feel like painting or writing

if you'd like to send me a card:
email me,..
(trying not to be so bloody shy)
031127
...
endless desire nomme, has anyone emailed you?
i really would like to send out cards.
just seems like a good idea.
my email is polkadotell@yahoo.com
if you could, send me an email with your address if you're a skite
and i'll send you a card. if you don't want to do that, at least put your email address down so i can get ahold of you.

im not too wild about putting my address up on blather because i wouldn't want to be worried about something weird happening, so i wouldn't expect anyone else to be either.

anyways, don't make me track people i want to send them to down one by one. i emailed people whose addresses i have already.

they won't be anything that great. we always take pictures and blah but i'll just have some fun decorating and being retarded. i enjoy these crap traditions of the holidays because they make me feel like im doing something. umm yeah happy

u24 wow, yeah, I'm up4it, email your mailing address to addresses@project2501.plus.com, and I'll try to pop a (homemade) card in the post for you for the December holiday
:)
031201
...
nomme des and u24: noted.
will email in the afternoon (too sleepy)
031201
...
Freak idea...

blather has a yahoo account(for the pics) so maybe everyone could send their addresses to that email account so all blather people can access them that way.
031201
...
Freak rehtalb@yahoo.com 031201
...
mon/nom sorry Freak, i personally wouldn't go for that.
my own thoughts on the matter:
if/when i send anyone here my address i would hope they keep it confidential, as i would.

i figure if someone wants my address they can ask for it,..

but if someone comes asking me for so-and-so's address i will direct them to ask so-and-so themselves, rather than making the information available for any-ol'-body,
031201
...
endless desire yeah, i guess i'd be up for that but im not exactly computer savy. i dont how to do anything and my computers too slow to learn. i dont mind getting everyones address the old fashion way (asking!) 031201
...
endless desire oh and anyone who emails me, if you could let me know if you dont celebrate christmas. i just dont want to offend anyone and blather is full of a wide range of open minded people with lots of different practices and beliefs. so yeah. just in case. 031201
...

endless desire haha just for an update, i am trying to get these cards off. but i keep running into so many opsticals. well im sending them off in shifts. i just sent 7 more off today and im taking pipedreams and u24's to the post office because i think i need a special stamp or something. and well, im out of stamps now too, and i have bobby and jamies and chris's and chocolate walrus fun name's ready to go as soon as i get stamps. i still need oldephebe, misstrees, and stork daddys address but that's out of my own laziness. anyways! i apologize for the lateness. between feeling insanely lethargic and apethetic...i just didn't get them all done as fast as i would have like to. and i run out of ideas. haha. im just not creative enough. i started stealing ideas from cards. but the cheesiest ones are the ones i made up myself...ooh. i should write cheezy cards for hallmark or something.

happy holidays skites.
031223
...
endless oh and you see, ive been sending out my xmas card and the lamo one my mum sends out. well im almost out of the family ones. not that you're breaking up over it but i just feel bad that i sent it to some and not others. i played no card favoritism at all. except to eyedream because she's jewish so i made her a blue santa holding a menorah with too few candles it seems. 031223
...
u24 erm.. laziness and obstickles... ya.. me too - haven't sent -any- cards yet... :(

u24 smiling due to e.ds card I got yours this morning endless!

thankyou very very very much, the illustration made me laugh, and no, I don't really celebrate Xmas, but it's a good excuse to get in touch with sadly forgotten family members, so in other words, I celebrate it as much as most non-religious people do. :)

-----
And a note to EVERYBODY (in captitals in case people got bored reading the above)

I am a lazy little so-and-so, and haven't sent any cards yet, which is rude and inexcuseable.

Just so you don't think I've forsaken your requests - they're coming.. as I said to Doar the other day;

"If you book them, they will come"

.
040102
...
u24 any requests for cards, etc to my_correct_email_address or any other @project2501 address you have for me. 040102

Death of a Rose Endless Desire, your cards got through and I must say that I was delighted (you know, the jumpy jump jump sorta way) to receive a card from you.

You have motivated me to ship out cards tomorrow to all the people I requested adresses from.

Thanks again Endless.

endless desire my story about X's card:
before i even talked about sending cards, i made a list of people i knew i wanted to send them too. then i went through my email and looked to see which of those people's email i had. i have X's email so i sent her and other skites an email asking for their address. but for some reason i never got a response (as i didn't from other people as well). one morning close to christmas i got a beautiful card from her. it really was just a beautiful card. since i had her return address, i decided i definately had to take advantage of sending her one back. i took the supplies with me to my dad's house after christmas, but in the excitement of family get to gethers, i really didn't get anything done. so when i got home, i set it all up and worked on the cards i had left (i did daxle's second, after chris and then made another one that i still haven't sent). but then i got my wisdom_teeth out and didn't end up sending them until a few days later. but i think minnesota_chris told me he got his, so im not sure why daxle hasn't yet. maybe the return address wasn't the correct one. i'd be happy to send another one to her. they are fun to make. i made swirlies all over hers because i didn't want to carry on the christmas theme...i was kind of sick of it.

im glad you guys liked the cards. each card i got made my day completely. im looking forwards to u24s! :) i definately want to do this again...why limit it to christmas, you know?
040114
...
pipedream i wILL send everyone cards! i WILL! im just in mon's boat and terribly harassed to boot :S 040114
...
mon "why limit it to christmas, you know?"
good point endless!
040115
...

"hi i felt like sending a card to you because i was hungry."

"yo blatherskite, i thought i might drop you a line because there are clouds in the sky today."

u24 in fact, my email address will change, too. not sure what the new one'll be, jsvlrt@yahoo.com's always a safe bet (it just might take me a month to check it). 040219
...
u24 I really am sorry I never sent any cards out. I want to make it up to y'all this year. 071029

daxle huh. wow. I can't remember sending the card or what it looked like. brain damage? i did hit my head the other day... 071029

I did eventually send cards: u24_sends_christmas_cards

[quote]"jsvlrt@yahoo.com's always a safe bet"[/quote]
user24@gmail:com is always a safe bet, or see: my_correct_email_address

I'm still happy to send cards to whoever wants one. poke at me.

pobodys nerfect I've had this idea that's been kicking around in my head...let me know what you guys think. (please be kind if it's a crappy idea)

Ok, so one night i was looking at the blather book sending page, and was inspired with an idea we could do with card sending.

Since there are people here from different countries (that celebrate different holidays), wouldn't it be neat to create a list of people who want cards and then send them in time (and in proper theme!)for a holiday they celebrate?
This way, you might have to research the holiday a bit, and you'd get to learn something about their culture and stuff.
080511
...
u24 that's a cool idea. 080512
...
daf That is a great idea. What if they glued a picture or a leaf (of something that doesn't set off postal drug sniffers) or something (not horibly unpleasant...ahem)to an area on the card? 080512
...
pobodys nerfect aww, thanks boys! Sorry i didn't reply back the other night; i have some infection in my neck again, so i opted for sleep instead. =0/

daf--yeah,it wouldn't have to be anything elaborate;just a simple card decorated in the style of the holiday it's for. Ideally, sender & receiver would be from two different countries, but in the event of a shortage maybe we could match up people from the same country that celebrate the holiday in a slightly different way. =0)

Doar okay u24....when the frack are you going to....sorry...lost my train there. what was I nattering about?
