I can't believe it is a month since I received the book
'Good Mail Day' as part of Sian's Pass the Book. I think I've been trying to pretend that it isn't a month and that it isn't time to offer it onto the next person. In fact if no one asks to be included in the draw, I may get to keep it .... I mean, who really wants to pretty up their post?
Really? What's wrong with just plain white, or boring buff? Functional, does the job well and doesn't distract the postman. Come on, imagine the reaction of the postal workers if we all did this
Quite frankly I think it would just confuse them. Just because we are scrapbookers doesn't mean that we love cutting and sticking and glossing and glittering does it? I bet half of you wouldn't even
have a fancy stamp or embellishment that would pretty up a parcel. So it won't surprise me at all, not one little bit, if no one wanted to have their name included in the draw for it. And if Sian asks me nicely I suppose I will just
HAVE to hold onto it myself for ever and ever.
But in the spirit of Pass the Book, I guess I will
have to say 'Does any one else out there fancy getting their hands on this
rather lovely, inspiring, fun, interesting, artistic book?' If you do - although I will quite understand if you don't (I mean who needs to have a template to make original envelopes out of any pretty paper?) please leave me a comment and I'll enter you for the draw. I'll keep asking (reluctantly) until Friday, and will draw the name of the next winner on Saturday.
I do need to stress though, you really don't have to enter. It will be a shame if the book stays here with me but hey ho ...
thanks Deb I would love to 'borrow' this book as I really really want to read it so thanks for offering it up! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, you're as selfless as ever ;) Did you even get Blogger on your side? 'Cos I had some difficulty even getting to the comment box to start with! Assuming you haven't now disabled comments (now THAT would be a clever idea...) I'd like to disappoint you by putting my name in the draw please xx
ReplyDeletelol! Well, I'll be keeping a close eye out for the winner because as it was last November's book, whoever receives it from you will be posting back to me :)
ReplyDeleteIts a cruel world Deb when nobody understands that you dont want to share that lovely book ...... but you must be very brave and let it go. No ..... you really must! I would gladly take the stress out of the selection process & volunteer to be the next recipient and then we would all be happy ... yes? xx
ReplyDeleteYou'll be pleased to hear that I don't want the book,Deb.....I've already had it....so just draw my number.....and p'raps you can keep it another month!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI gather you enjoyed it then DEb?...as you know, you don't need to put me in the draw!

Oh Deb - I know what you mean because I loved the Pass the Book that I had a few months back. And I would feel e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y guilty, knowing how much you love this one, but I promise to love it as much if I am the next lucky recipient! I am really interested in Mail Art, and very keen to join a group so that I can send and receive. If my name is drawn I promise you will be the first to receive my first posting!
ReplyDeleteGosh, Jacky is such a co-conspiritor! I actually think I need this one, you see, I participated in my first ever mail art exchange last month and my envelope pretty-ing skills were woeful to say the least!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! And I will make you happy and say don't put me in the drawing. Way back when the book started the rounds and my name didn't ever get pulled I decided to go out and buy it to keep forever ;)
ReplyDeleteIf so many more people want to view this book it would be a shame for Sian to take it back. Please please do put my name forward for it, I would just love it to wing its way down under for me to impress some wee little postie out in the NZ countryside.
ReplyDeletesimply put - ME!
