Title: OT... Strange Request
Post by: Dreambird on June 28, 2003, 09:31:24 PM
... of business/calling cards... yeah I know!
I like the "original" looking ones where someone or a store has done more than just black printing on a white card... those are the ones I keep.
Soooo... if some of you are willing, and you come across some neat ones could I impose upon you to snail mail me them? I'll reimburse the postage or send you a postcard/something from Calgary and area, if anyone is interested in this place!
Email me for where to send them...
Did I word this right? I hope so, really strange request I know, but it's cool to me to try and gather them from as many places as I can...

Hey Dream,
I am going to be leaving for my trip to Europe in less than a month. I will be spending 3 months walking through France, Spain and Portugal. If I come across any business cards from overseas (and if I remember - - which I will REALLY try to do ), I will hold them for you and mail them when I get home in November... I know it's a long ways away

Dreambird, I myself have been collecting business cards since I've designed a few and used some as inspiration. So if I have any duplicates maybe I'll send you those and you can send me your duplicates?

For all the responses here and by email sor far... I'm glad I asked here now! I thought at first you'd all think "That's it!... one flew over the Cuckoo's nest!"
I love being a Mac user among a lot of people who "think different"...

Dream, you aren't talking to the right people
Oh well, it was worth a shot!! Guess I'll just have to get it the old fashion way by working and saving up for one...
However, if anyone wishes to donate, I accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Traveler's Checks, Personal Checks and of course, COLD HARD CASH!

Marcel... that's fine, nice of you to do that for me! Stuff from overseas seems to be about the same or quicker than from the US for me.
I'm looking foward to getting some from different places!!
Jay... well... yeah, unfortunately things like that usually mean *work and lots of it... but what a reward!
Good luck with the donations...

Mine went out this morning DB.
Probably the 4th will delay their delivery from here..... but I'm sure they'll get there any way.
Hope you have fun with all the cards you should be getting.
