Chris' birthday project 2019: Dear Chris, Happy Birthday! Love, us"
So, I felt a bit nostalgic lately, remembering how much I loved writing letters, how romantic and magic it is to receive and write them.
I thought it would be nice, in a world where social media and instant messaging have taken up our way of communication, to go back to how it felt to write down our feelings, in this case how we feel about Chris and to wish him a Happy Birthday.
What I'm asking this year is to write him a SHORT letter containing a birthday wish and a SHORT sentence about anything you want to write to him.
I'll obviously gather all the letters in a video, so it's more immediate for him to read them, but I thought I will also send him a scrapbook by mail with a collection of all your messages I will print and put together, so the letters will keep their meaning.
These are the instructions :
1) WRITE CHRIS A SHORT LETTER CONTAINING :
-DEAR Chris, (it has to start as a letter, of course!)
-A BIRTHDAY WISH
-ONE SENTENCE ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL HIM (Please, don't write long sentences, it wouldn't be easy to be shown on a video, we want to send an immediate and easy message to him)
2) YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SEND ME THE LETTER:
-either as a video where you first show your letter and then you read it (please prefer this if you can!) - > if you send a video reading the letter, I need you to also send me a clear pic of just the written letter, to add it to the scrapbook.
-or as a picture with you in it, so you write your short letter on a cardboard and send a picture of you holding it - > again send me a separate pic of just the letter without you in it, for the scrapbook
-or as a pic of your short letter without you in it
RECOMMENDATIONS:
-Messages in your own language are very welcome and much appreciated, but don't forget to send a translation!
-Make your letter beautiful and artsy! Be original! Film yourself while writing the letter, read it in a beautiful place with a great view, use a cute writing paper, draw something in it.
-If you send a pic, write in big letters, preferably black on white, and send a clear pic in a good light!
-I STRONGLY ask you to prefer videos of you talking, or pics of yourself, because it's so much more meaningful to show him our faces and voices. But if you aren't comfortable with this, just a pic of the letter is ok as well!
PICS - Send them to: [email protected]
add your name, age, country
VIDEOS - Upload them on YouTube (as Not Listed) Send the link to: [email protected]
add your name, age, country
DEADLINE is MAY 12th.
IT'S EARLIER THAN USUAL, NO EXCEPTIONS, 'CAUSE I'LL NEED EXTRA TIME TO PUT THE SCRAPBOOK TOGETHER AND SEND IT.
Please don't wait last minute and then tell me you haven't time anymore! You have 56 days, it's a lot!
Please help me spread the word to be as many as we can!!!
Thank you in advance for your support and for participating! ❤️
