Do Not Leave Unattended

My contribution to the Do No Leave Unattended Project is finally finished and has been added to the website here.

For those who haven't heard of Do Not Leave Unattended yet, it is basically a project where notebooks are passed around the world, usually between bloggers, and each person contributes something that perhaps cannot be conveyed easily through a blog. This is part of what Judy, the project's organiser, has said,

... unfortunately something our monitors and keyboards don’t permit us to enjoy, is the tactile experience that can go along with the sharing of thoughts, like being the recipient of a letter or card penned by hand, signed by the sender and sealed with whatever wishes the content contains. I’ve really come to appreciate the sense of community our blogging circle continues to cultivate, and with this in mind I started thinking of how we all might collaborate while revealing a little bit more, maybe with subject matter we normally wouldn’t include on our blogs.

I mostly blog about internet finds and things that I'd like to buy. Very rarely do I write about myself. So I decided to step outside my comfort zone and contribute something about my personal life, something special to me. This collage relates to my story but you'll have to check it out here if you want to know more.

Michelle has just finished her entry so check the site in a day or so to see it. There are also details on the DNLU website of how to sign up if you'd like to contribute to a notebook.

Hi there,

As the recipient of the book after you, I loved looking at the collage and the story. I know I've already told you this by email -- but I did want to encourage anyone else to give the project a go.

Thanks Ann Marie and Bev. I'm really glad I took part in the project.

And I just read Minori's response on the DNLU website and it made me get teary. So sweet.
