A Snail Mail Giveaway

Untitled

Hi all, it's me again! I'll get straight to the point, because I'm running behind this morning: I have a giveaway for you!

I've always loved snail mail, mostly because it's such a novelty these days (genuine mail is, at least; I receive enough coupons and credit card offers to last a lifetime), and getting something that is specifically for me always gives me a little thrill of excitement. So when my friend Cassie over at Witty Title Here posted about a giveaway that involves sending and receiving snail mail, I was all game. 

Basically, the rules are as follows (stolen from Cassie's post):

The first three people to comment on this post will receive a little gift – something personal from me to you.
However, there are some rules:
  • Within a year [note from Rachel: I'll do it within the next few monthsI’ll create something unique to share with the first three people to comment on this post.
  • But, in order to receive your present you have to play along.  Spread the love on your own blog (this means it’s only open to bloggers) promising to send a little special something to the first three people who comment on your post.
  • You get 72 hours to re-post, or I’ll have to move on to the next person.
  • Please only comment if you’re willing to pay it forward!
Fun, yes? I was one of her first three commenters, so now I'm passing it along to you folks. Ready...set...go. Hooray for snail mail! 

Happy it's-almost-the-weekend-you-can-do-it!

  1. Oh what a lovely idea Rachel! I don't have a personal blog, just a cohort one, but I like this way of encouraging people. Mahalo :)

    1. Do you still want snail mail? Because if you do, I think I'm going to break the rules and send out mail to everyone who commented, regardless of whether or not they have a blog.

  3. I live vicariously through your photographs and posts. Unfortunately I don't have a blog so I'm not sure how to pay it forward so you may have to move right on. I think this is a great idea.

    1. I think I'm going forego the "you must be a blogger" rule and send out mail to everyone who commented on this!

      P.S. Do I know you? I'm just wondering since you're from Wisconsin if we're connected somehow or if you just happened upon my blog by chance. I'm always curious to know more about who's reading my blog! =]

    2. I used to work with Kim and long ago mentioned that in my youth a young man asked me to marry him and move to California. At that time no matter how much I loved him I was too afraid to go. That was a big move 50 years ago. She told me of your blog so I've been following your blog ever since. Love the photos of your adventures. It makes me wish I'd would have gotten outside of my comfort zone.

  4. Ooooo, I'm in! I've been meaning to get back to blogging anyway so this is a perfect way for me to start back up. Thanks for the inspiration, Rach!
