Lola's Chain Mail

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Sometimes working online and in an office all day, it gets hard to actually go out and meet other people. It is so easy to stay in your own little bubble and ignore the world. I thought it might be nice to send each other a note once a week or so. For privacy reasons I think it's best we keep the note giving, exclusive to commenting on other's blogs. So this is how it will work-
  • Each Friday at around 8:30 in the morning I will post the chain mail and everyone who wants to be involved write their blog address in the comment box below.
  • The first person can start by writing a nice note for the group, in the comment box.
  • Then write a comment on the person above's blog. If their profile doesn't have an email listed, simply write a comment on their blogs. It doesn't have to be long or sappy. Short and sweet will suffice. You can send a funny picture, e-card or inspiring quote you found. Just something nice to finish the working week with ♥
  • The last person to write in the comment box at 10:30pm Australian EST will receive a lovely note from me.
What does everyone think?



EDIT:Just so no one is confused, this will start on Friday morning this week. This post was just to see what people thought about the idea.

    Hi darling!
    I know what you mean about not having much of a life outside work + blogdom. That was my life before I quit my job! Your little note idea is very intriguing!

    Followed you here from Elsita's blog.

    I'd love to play if you're accepting 40-something young-at-heart crafty geeks who secretly love fashion and make-up.
