Alice-mania

It's been a while, I have to admit. But we had automn holiday here in Belgium, so there was a lot to to (well, lets say, there where a lot of friends who had some free time to spend with mee, couse since I'm still jobhunting, I have time in overload right now). Best thing this holiday? Book Fair in Antwerp!! How I love to watch, read, feel, and buy books there! Just like a little kid in a candystore, with the same big eyes, I pass by every stall, hunting new treasures.

It's the biggest and most visited Book fair in Belgium, I guess. A lot of writers and illustrators come over to sign their books, there are demonstrations and workshops, and a lot of visitors ofcourse. Wich means: queuing! There was one place where you could print the frontpage of the newspaper of your birthday. I queud half an hour there while there where only five people waiting for me. Just didn't know they where printing newspapers for their whole family. When it was finaly my turn, I was so excited to see the articles and stories. Big bummer: the text wasn't sharp at all, so I couldn't read anything...

But I forgot all of that when founding this lovely treasure...

A box full of Alice postcards! when walking by, they whispered my ear 'please, buy us, we're the last box...' So I couldn't refuse.  I set a goal to fill the box with 100 written Alice cards. For every card I receive, I can send an unwritten one again. Welcome project of a lifetime! Let's start imediately ;)

Pay it forward...

Ever since I came up with the idea of making the special 'scratch a wish' cards, I enjoy leaving them behind everywhere I come. There are always some of the cards in my bag, ready to be droped somewhere. I would love to travel the world and leave them everywhere I go, but that's going to take me years and years (not that I mind, I love to travel).

Then I thought it might be cool to spread the word and let others help to realize this dream! How lovely would it be if the cards just appear everywhere in the world...

If you would like to help me out, just make some cards, take a picture of a card with a remarkable monument of the place you left it in the background, and send me the picure! I would love to post it here, on the blog if that's okay.

So, this is where the cards have been so far:

Bruges - BELGIUM

Ghent - BELGIUM

With love
Inow. x
