RedGirl76 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Oi! Stop it! This is my thread and it is to be a jaffa-free zone!!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notlost92 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Okay, okay, I guess we won't send her a giant British food basket... *sigh* :P Hmm, for some reason I'm not crazy about the CD idea. But I can't really think of an alternative myself, sooo... EDIT: Alison, you know it was inevitable once Chelsea arrived! :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 you can keep all the jaffa talk in MY thread :smug: :P when i mentioned the flowers idea, BTW, i didn't really mean flowers per se, i meant something like flowers, something that could be dropped off and delivered by a third party or something. i realize that flowers wouldn't go to a PO box, and i don't think debs has her own office at EMI, at least not anymore. something tells me she works from home. i'll go with whatever the consensus is, for the record. i just don't really like the poster idea for reasons i can't really explain. i think it's because that's the sort of thing we did when i was in elementary school for people who came and visited our class--it just seems a bit little kiddish and unoriginal to me :uhoh:. i also think it's needlessly complicated and overblown. i like the idea of something small and not written-word-based that would supplement the thank you letter i wrote to her from all of us and the email lore wrote from all of us. we've done the collective written word thing--i think a short personal audio thing would be nice.

Carlaatje Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 31-01-2009 05:33 PMZemy101 But i really like Cris' 'thank you' message idea, where we all record ourselves saying thanks and put it on a CD, I think thats really cool. And then maybe me or someone else could lay down a soft acoustic guitar piano track in the background, to play all the thank you's over the top to. And if we were to compile a CD, I could always have a go at designing the casing and album art or whatever. Anyway, these are just a couple of ways to potentially spice up that idea. why not put postcards from far way as background music? in repeat, or would that drive you crazy? i really like this idea.. :) ^ :thinking: Unless they were plastic (fake) flowers... But yeah, I see your point. hmmm... or we could send her boxes of those Jaffa cakes that many of the ''Postcards from Far Away Project thread'' people were going on about :rolleyes: :D love this too :wideeyed: could you send some to me as well then? I beg of you, do not bring the jaffa-obsession to this thread!!! :kiss: ohh sorry.. :embarassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Box of chocolate? :wideeyed: Sorry, I should really go eat lunch before I turn every thread into one about food :laugh3: yes, that kind of thing, but anything perishable is a big delivery issue, since i think we'll end up only having the PO box to go on.

Carlaatje Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 but then wouldn't a poster be a bit difficult too? either you roll it up, wich wouldn't fit, or you'd have to fold it which would probably ruin it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 you can deliver packages to PO boxes, but they don't actually physically GO inside the PO box. the post office puts a slip of paper in the box telling you to go to a certain counter to pick up the package that was too big to fit in the box :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGirl76 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 How about everybody sends "a flower" addressed directly to Debs at the PO Box. How they interpret "a flower" is up to them. Some might draw a flower, or buy a postcard with a flower on, or make an origami flower etc. Imagine if for weeks, she kept getting these little tokens of thanks from all around the world. That kind of trickle effect might be quite nice - getting a steady stream of stuff instead of one thing??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that might be a bit annoying in the end.. getting all those letters/cards every single day for weeks. It might be okay if the stuff everyone sends is tiny tiny weeny.

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 hmm, i quite like that idea, but in some ways i think it's too similar to the postcards project itself. i don't know why i'm so picky about all this stuff, but nothing has really felt 100% right and appropriate to me yet.

Makayla Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I was Just at Borders because i bought Live 2003... But anyway, While i was there, i was looking at Thank you cards. And there were some really cool ones. I found one with a butterfly on it that looked exactly like the coldplay butterflies... And i thought it might be cool for what if everyone bought or made a thank-you card for Debs, and we could send it to a collector or somebody to gather them all and then they could send them all together in a little package or something. That way, they all come together.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 haven't read the whole thread but as I said before, the cd could be too long and it might get boring after the 5 first "thank you" messages... I love the poster Idea.. or maybe just a big card with butterflies from everywhere with something written on it :D .. edit: ohh and no postcards or something like that, just one big poster or one big card...

Makayla Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Oh! I just thought of something else that would turn out really cool! What if i bought a blank sketch book, and everybody made a thank you card. But not a card that folds. Just so there is a front and back... But i would glue them all into a book for her. That way they are all together, and she can flip through and read them. It can be her book of thank yous! Here is an image of what it would potentially look like... Except you could have a message..

Carlaatje Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 we could make her a digital slide show of thank you cards and burn it on a cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGirl76 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 we could make her a digital slide show of thank you cards and burn it on a cd That's an interesting idea... The creative types could make their own while us "less talented" types could choose an image that we find elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lore Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 mmm maybe it's just me, but the digital things are not "personal" in my opinion... maybe the another idea is more difficult but it's more beautiful too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris_Santos Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm just afraid of one thing... if we take any of the ideas that requires that each one of us post something it'll take too much time to be ready! Like a month... I'd love to thank her in some way even before she gives us more details because she's already been so great to us that only thank her doesn't seem enough :nice: I know it's not possible, of course :P What I'm trying to say is that we need to find a solution to make things in a quick way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lore Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 let's take pictures of us with a "thank you" sign and then with all the pics uploaded we can make a collage or something like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of what I was thinking when I suggested a video on the Social Group page - but photo's would be much easier to do! The collage could be tricky though - wouldn't someone have a lot of printing to do? Could we turn the photo's in to the digital thing that Carla suggested?
