idea check.

soooo... i have an idea, but i wanna get some feedback/suggestions/questions/comments on it before i do it.

PLEASE share what you think.


idea:

so, you may have heard me say that id really like to start some sort of ongoing across the country project {small, nothing big and crazy}. but i just want it to be all over the place, not just here in my small little circle of friends. anyway... i was thinking about pennies, and how they are so fascinating even though they are worth barely anything. "find a penny pick it up", etc. and i thought it would be really cool to mail one to someone, in a little envelope, with a little note that instructs them to take my penny, and leave it somewhere where somebody else can find it. and then take a penny that they have, and stick it back in the envelope, and pass the letter on to another person. this person will do the same thing.

and, i would put my email address in the envelope as well and have a blog, to document where people put the pennies...
follow? whatcha thinkin?

  1. sounds so great! but im thinking... what if you made the purpose a bit more specific. like, 'leave this penny somewhere that is nostalgically significant to you', or something along those lines. that way, when people tell you their stories, you can catch a glimpse of a meaningful part of their lives.

  4. kelly! i have been thinking and processing what you commented, and i am definately gonna have that as part of this project. i like the "catching a glimpse" aspect to it. and i will definately make it much more meaningful and significant. and, it creates more of a link, you know? ah! so, should i leave a penny somewhere? to start it off? cuz... i know where im gonna put it! : ) i think im going to start this up as soon as i get back! : ) ah! so excited. i need a name.... ideas?
