52 Weeks of Mail




Are any of you commited to this?  You don't have to be an Etsy team member and no one is going to keep tabs on you. You can quietly pledge to yourself but it'll be more fun if you join the Facebook group!  I'm excited to get started this coming week. Who knows, if I have your address you just may get at least one piece of snail mail from me in the next year ;)

from the team -
52 Weeks of Mail, brought to you by Etsy Greetings Team, is designed to encourage people to be more intentional about relationships and keeping in touch with friends and family by sending out a card or letter each week, for the next year. I don't know about you, but I LOVE getting a personal, hand-written card or letter in the mail.

Throughout 52 Weeks of Mail, we are asking everyone to commit ...to sending just ONE card or letter each week. You can send more than one, of course! 52 Weeks of Mail BEGINS on October 9th, 2011, and ends on October 7th, 2012. Please feel free to blog about this event, or share it on your Facebook page. Share it on Twitter, or any other social networking site too!

We are hoping to get 1000 LIKES by the end of September. Please help out by sharing this with all of your Facebook friends! Let's make this viral!

Here's a great idea: When you send your card to Grandma (or whomever), send a brand new card with an envelope that already has a stamp on it, so that she can send a card to someone else! Be sure to explain in your card what you are doing, so she will know why you sent her a brand new card. :-)

  3. I saw this on Fiona's blog earlier :) I love the idea, but I know it's one thing too many for me right now, so I'm being sensible and not signing up. I will try to actually send more mail over the coming year though, so I'll be joining in in spirit!
