Anyone up for a VF round robin?

Hi everyone

Reading the VF Angel thread had me thinking of another fun idea we could do. How about a round robin package? Here’s how it would work:

All interested parties would sign up with me, and I would send out the first package. The sole cost to the rest of you would be mailing of the travelling items to the next person on the list.

The core of the package would remain the same, but each Vfer would add a few local touches before sending it on. For example, there might be an autograph book that you would have to sign. Maybe a questionnaire that you would have to fill out. I plan to enclose one item off my trade list that I absolutely cannot get rid of to save myself---the next person may either take it and replace it with something else, or pass it on. And I would like each Vfer to add a photograph of themselves, and a local recipe or something. We can work out the particulars once we know who’s playing.

So you get the package, you get to play with it for a few days, you update what needs to be updated, then you mail it on to the next person---who keeps it for a few days, plays with it etc. etc. At the end, it gets sent back to me, and I can post the highlights to the forum and get someone to scan in the pictures.

So what do you guys think? Sound fun?

I wanted to play in the VF angel fun but was having problems with my email at the time. Boo

But now I can feel better and play along with this.

Cheers,
Erin
