Send him a card

2006-06-13T04:19:00.000-07:00

Anyone out there want to help with a postcard for Reid?

This is how it started Reid is 4 years old and is currently at nursery learning about the world so I asked a few friends to send him some postcards from where they live around the world.

Well he has enjoyed receiving those cards so much that I though I would ask anyone who is wanting to help to send him a card of where they live so he can make all the cards into a scrapbook for nursery and maybe use it later at big school (that's what he calls it!) and something he can keep and look at in the future years to come.

Now I know I could just buy a pile of cards off eBay or the like but he is enjoying the cards that are just for him and no one else and he is loving it when the postman brings them.

So the call goes out for a Postcard for Reid. Anything to do with were you live in the world would be great or even if you are going away on holiday.

He also loves VW cars and campers and any cards with those on are extra special to him.

I have started this blog so I can keep everyone informed on how many he has received and how he is getting on.

So can you help or do you have family or friends that could as well if you do then ask them for a postcard for Reid and hopefully we can make his day and his scrapbook bigger.

Thank you.

Just to say thanks to everyone who has helped so far.

Cards are starting to come through now so a big thanks to Chantel and Maggie in the States and to the nice person in Norwich who didn't sign the card but thank you anyway.

Please keep sending the cards Reid is enjoying receiving them, also please email this onto anyone who may help or post the link in forums etc that you use.

His favourite so far came from Fifi and has a picture of a Jaguar Type D from the Le Mans in 1957!

Mummy's favourite is the one of the beach in the Maldives which came via Norwich!!! (whoever sent it thanks!)

Keep up the sending and we would love to get some cards from Australia and New Zealand and more from round the UK would be great too. I see that people have viewed the blog from all around the world if only everyone who has looked would send a card it would become truly global.
