Welcome to my blog!

Hi! I'm Dannii C, and I created this blog to try and gain interest for the amazing charity postpals.co.uk, where you can send emails, letters, cards and gifts to seriously ill children throughout the UK. Each month I will feature two different children from the website on my blog, post any updates for the kids on the site, do a monthly update, post any news generally from the site, post info about the charity itself and a little bit about every kid on the site, and basically do all I can to get more people to know about this amazing charity!

So sorry for the long absence!

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in a while- you may remember I had problems with my computer, well 2 weeks after I'd started posting again it died! Permanently! So I am painstakingly typing this out on my brother's itouch so you know I haven't abandoned the site :) As soon as I manage to replace my laptop I will begin posting regularly again.

I am still involved with postpals though- I am doing a project at my school, it is the second project at my school, I am getting all the different classes to write letters to assigned pals! I am getting an unbelievable amount of letters in! If any of you reading this are school age or teachers, you might want to do some kind of event for postpals!

Ecard project is back on :)

Managed to contact Kate Dee from postpals (thank loads for the help if you're reading Kate) so the cards should get through now! :)

THE ECARD PROJECT

I prefer writing emails to the Pals than letters, although I still occasionally write letters and send gifts, for quite a lot of reasons; it is easier for the Pals to keep track of them, they reach them faster, there is no chance of them losing them and they are still just as heartfelt. So, as it's the festive season, I had an idea about sending Ecards to all the Pals and their siblings this year!

Ecards are a great idea for the Pals because there is such a huge assortment of them, and I like to believe that they really make them smile to know that someone sent them a card! I know I would only be able to send a couple of actual cards, but I can send ecards to them all because I have found an amazing site called 123greetings.com which have lots of cards that make great festive gifts! (Be careful if sending cards and gifts through the post this Christmas-the snow problems mean that they are unlikely to get through in time- I can see a blanket of about 20cms of snow outside my window, and according to the MET office that's a 'light shower'. Light avalanche more like :) )

So that is my project this Christmas-to make sure every Pal and Sibling receives a smile! However, I am having a bit of trouble because all the 123greetings ecards that I try to send end up in Postpals' spam inbox.

IF A POSTPALS VOLUNTEER IS READING THIS, PLEASE LET VIKS KNOW THAT THE ECARDS SENT ARE GOING INTO THE POSTPALS SPAM INBOX AND NOT REACHING THE PALS!

I am trying to contact Viks at the moment and if I manage to successfully then I will post on the site :)
