Snail Mail My Email (Please)!

Very recently, I found this really creative and awesome month long project called "Snail Mail My Email." (Click here to learn more about it.) Basically what it tries to do is recreate is the warm feeling we get when we receive a snail mail, especially in loo of today's world where e-mail and such replaced the conventional ways of communication. What you do is you e-mail them a letter you want to be hand-written, and volunteers from around the world will personally write that letter and mail it to the receiver for you. 

I requested to have a snail mail written for my parents. It arrived early than I expected (I wanted it to come after I had left for college)! And being the curious girl I am, of course I opened it. It was lovely! Aside from the fact that the person's handwriting is beautiful, the message of the project really shone through. Nothing can replace the feelings of intimacy and "specialness" you feel when you receive a letter in the mail.

(P.S. Click on the images for the awesome quality. I don't think these thumbnails do it justice!)

I want to brainstorm a project that makes people want to get involved and that can recreate the warm fuzzy feeling that they are part of something. Before this summer I was unsure of whether these "ideas" should just come to me or if I have to go out and search for them -- I'm thinking that they will just hit you in the middle of the night as long as your eyes are open during the day. I will wait!
