Past weekend plans changed unexpectedly and i missed getting 2 doodles in the mail before Saturday pickup. But I ran out at lunch today and sent them off. I came to the conclusion that sending larger flat doodles using the USP document mailer is not going to work out. Postage for 2 doodles came to a little over $4... so I think I need to stick to smaller doodles that can be mailed with a regular envelope and regular 44-cent 1st class postage.
It's been five days since the "official start" of this thing and five folks have contributed to the cause - THANK YOU! I'm surprised, as this IS the internet and it's not easy to trust what a person's intentions are all about. I could easily be planning on taking all the donations and running off to Iceland, New Zealand, Scotland, or Tahiti even... let me assure you I'm not.
I'm going to pick up a book of stamps, a smaller sketch pad, and some envelopes, and keep them with me all the time so as soon as I find out some one has donated, i can get their doodle out as quickly as possible.
I hope this takes off. It would be great to accomplish something nice.
If it is okay with folks, please send me pics of your doodle in it's new happy home, with you, or your pets, or on your fridge, whatever...and I'll start posting 'em here, or just leave a comment if photos aren't an option, I would love to hear back from you.
Doodles have gone out to Texas, Florida, Kentucky, and Connecticut... who knows which state is next????

Oh am I one???!?!?!? I sent another $5, I feel it is too low, $5 so give one to someone else you know and I will donate another to your friend.

Hi Kristen :-) You are my first returning contributor! Thank you for being so nice... I think it is only fair that I send you your doodle #2, I'm committed to it!
Mom!!! Yes! all 50 states and across the globe ;-) one little doodle at a time *grin* - think "big" and big things happen, yes?
Thank you both so much!
