The Bloggers
Snail Mail is back for the Autumn! Wahooo! Spread the word, tell all your
friends, lets make this a round to remember!
So here is
how it works:
A quarterly
gift exchange where you can meet other bloggers from around the world and
spread a bit of positivity! People get paired up in March, June, September and
December. During the sign up period, every participant will be paired with one
other new participant and you’ll spend a few weeks becoming BFFs (i.e. reading
each other’s blogs, sending happy e-mails, you name it!). After that, you’ll
send your partner a gift from your country that you think they may like from
the info you now know about them. There’s a £5 limit on the gifts to make this
project as affordable as possible. Be as creative as you can and make it
meaningful! Motivate them, tell them all the beautiful things you learned about
them, and make them feel special! We could all use a little encouragement,
especially from our new friends. Also, each package should include a postcard
(or a letter if you can’t find one!) with some motivating love or positive
words of wisdom written all over it.
So to sign
up for the ‘The Bloggers Snail Mail’ you just need to send an email to
whatsinyourmakeupbag@gmail.com, title it ‘The Bloggers Snail Mail’ and include
in it your name, where you are from, and you blog! Sign ups will be
open until the Friday 28th August. I will then randomly match
you all up aiming to make sure you are with someone from another country or at
least in another area from you! I will then let you know by Monday 31st
August who your partner is and you then have 4 weeks to get to know them! So
the week of the 28th September, you can then send your new buddy
their Snail Mail!
Once you
receive your gifts, write a blog post about your experience, sharing what you
gave, received, and learnt through this being part of this and meeting your new
pal.
If you want
to tweet about this project, use the hashtag #TheBloggersSnailMail, You can
also tag me @GemmaMarieJames and ill retweet your post, so everyone can share
your experience!
Please only
sign up if you definitely are willing to take part and if you want to be
matched with someone from the same country as you to save on postage then
please let me know!!
Oh what a fantastic idea! Sending my email across now!
