Good Gabble Postcard Package No: 1

  Here is our first group of postcards to start off the Positive Postcard Project. We are expecting the arrival of our first mail bag mid next week and are looking forward to sending a prize to the first postcard we draw out of the bag. On the 31st of July we will choose the most inspirational and most creative card that we have received within the month and they will receive a prize.

   We have decided to include all positive messages on a separate page within this site as well as in the blog. This will allow our readers easy access to a quote to brighten their day. We hope you will visit daily and grab a quote to inspire you and make your day complete.

   Get creative and keep the postcards coming. We will endeavour to keep a tally of how many postcards and items are in the box and include it at the beginning of each blog.

The beginning

  The Positive Postcard Project is part of Good Gabble Newzine which is distributed in hard copy and e-newzine. Each month Good Gabble celebrates all things positive. You can learn more about us and request a free e-newzine at http://goodgabble.blogspot.com.

   Over the last few months we have been travelling Australia on promotion. This is how the Positive Postcard Project was born. Our goal is to use Good Gabble to create a community that is united through positivity. This community will be a place were all are accepted regardless of race, sex or beliefs. A place that is not only relaxing but fun. A place to meet new people and share a little of yourself.

 This community is already growing through subscriptions and contributions to the Newzine. We are also slowly growing on Facebook so please come and join us

   I will not go over what we plan to do within this project as all the information can be found at the above tab - What is the Positive Postcard Project?

   This project started on the 1st July 2010 and will end on 1st July 2011 when one lucky winner will receive every postcard and item that we have been sent over the twelve months. There are competitions throughout the project with prizes each month for the most creative and most inspirational. Other prizes may be added should we receive donations from business's or interested parties.

   You do not need to be a Good Gabble reader to send us a postcard. This project is open to all worldwide. We look forward to sharing positive messages from around the world.

  As envelopes are received we will note it's contents, enter the sender in the competition, take photo's of the contents and add it to this blog for all to share.

So get creative and have some fun.We look forward to blogging your postcard!
