Call me kooky (yes Eva, even you LOL) but this is actually a birthday gift for me. As a lot of you know, I am all "celebrated out." My birthday is at the end of this month (high fives to my b-day buddy Suesy Blusey :yo
and I just decided what I want for my birthday.
Here is the basic idea, which came to me in the shower of course. I want to send out a nice invitation style email to all of my family and extendeds. I want to have them do something that *they* enjoy in my name. Like they could go to a museum, have a nice glass of wine watching a sunset, go for a walk, watch a movie-- it doesn't matter what they do as long as they do something that they love and think of me. Its so crazy for people to spend money of "stuff" or cards ($5 for a Hallmark card?? Really??? Have you seen how silly most of them are?) or spend another day cooking and cleaning and all that. Time is just too precious and its not like we have seen each other almost every weekend since the end of April.
Now the catch is that I want them to take a photo or it or send me a photo of something that represents what they did because I want to scrap it. (Of course I do!).
1. Do you think this is cheesy?
2. How do I word this so they don't think I am being pushy?
3. Do you think they will actually do this for me?
I can't put anything together until after Father's Day next week when the fam will all be together (again!) b/c I do not want them to get the idea that they can circumvent me and do something at that time.
Thoughts??
