Snail Mail Valentines for a Good Cause



I was over at fredflare.com/blog reading about their super fun Valentine idea. They are asking folks to make a valentine and send it to them. They are going to sell the cards and donate the proceeds to Elder Craftsmen,an organization based in NYC that brings craft workshops to local senior citizens. (I wish we had something local like this but since we don't, I'm sending my valentine to them.)


Here are the details...(more info at fredflare)

1) MAKE A VALENTINE You can make it out of anything… Construction paper, collage, paint, crayon, a print of a photo you took, write a poem, make a mix tape, whatever ya feel like! Just make it fun and from the heart and easy to send. Be sure to include a matching envelope. Have fun with that also!
2) SEND YOUR VALENTINE + ENVELOPE TO FF BEFORE JAN 15TH Ya can just pop both in another envelope and send it regular mail to SNAIL MAIL VALENTINES c/o fredflare.com, 300F Kingsland Av, Brooklyn NY 11222. Hurry! Your valentine MUST be postmarked no later than Thurs, Jan 15th to participate. That’s only 10 days away. DON’T flake on me, peeps!
3) YOUR VALENTINE WILL DEBUT ON FF THE LAST WEEK OF JANUARY All valentines will be sold online and in our new Brooklyn store for the super friendly price of ONLY $4 EACH and ALL the proceeds from the sales of these valentines will go directly to Elder Craftsmen!

Doesn't this sound like fun! Won't you join me in using your crafty skills for a good cause?!?!
