Playing tag and spreading some joy?

Back in January, I started this thing with my customers called Bumper Cards. The idea was that people would sign up and basically RAK (random act of kindness) others by sending a handmade card to the next person on the list... just to get some fun mail. It's called Bumper Cards because originally each person was to bump down to the next person on the list. Well, we do it monthly and every month new people joined so I added them and just randomized(really, I do Jennifer!) the list and sent out a new one. Here we are about to be in August and it is still going strong and still called Bumper Cards!

So, now, I've been toying with this new idea... what if we all out here in cyberland play bumper cards???? Okay, so no, not exactly the way I described above but instead... what if we played tag (that seems to be such a game among bloggers) but instead of just tagging, we actually PAY IT FORWARD and try to brighten someone's day? Would that be one step in the right direction towards world peace? :)

You've all probably seen the Rockin' Blogger Award thing and that pretty much clinched the idea for me to start this. I thought well if that was such a hit and spread like wildfire all because a girl somewhere wanted to start something and see how far it went, I could try to do something but make it spread happiness and joy. Do you think I can do it? PLEASE help me...

Okay, the rules are simple:
1) Send ONE card to someone you know within 7 days! (family, friends, associates, cyber people, etc.) ANYONE!!! Doesn't matter who... just do it. Can you imagine the smile on their face when they open their mailbox and see a card from you?
2) Tag (yes, I know, but this is the only way to spread this) 5 people you know to do the same thing (Tag means tag them to send their own cards to their own people).
3) Proudly display this on your blog to spread a little sunshine and pass it on.

If you get tagged again (we can all hope, can't we), send another card! You don't even have to mail... put one on your husband's dashboard of his car, your coworkers desk, your neighbor's doorstep, and so on and so forth.

Sappy... why yes. WANNA JOIN ME? PLEASE? We can all use a little bit of happiness in the world, can't we?

Okay, so I'm going to start this and I'm going to do 17 people (started with 5, couldn't stop!) I admire and that are "big" names to get this thing off the ground... (I hope they don't laugh at me!).
