This project is a simple one. Wherever we go, near or far, my daughter, Kelsey and I will leave cards with personal messages or quotations on them, in random places, with the hope that whoever finds them will be inspired and will come here to "log" their card in the comments section. Please leave a comment on the post of the card you found, where you found it and any way that it might have inspired you or simply what you thought when you found it. You may also send us a picture of your card and/or you and we will post that also. In turn, the finder is invited to make cards and leave them in random places. Make sure you put the address of this blog on the back of the card. If you send us pictures of the cards you make we will post them here on the blog along with ours. Together we can inspire the world!

Missouri Messages-Birthday Adventure

We are going on a Birthday Adventure this week coming up so I thought, why not start out my Missouri Messages card series with a few that I drop along the way of the birthday adventure!

Here are the eight cards I made for our day of adventure, fun, and laughs. I'll be leaving these along the way and hopefully someone will check them in here at Project Inspire.

 
I tried to pick a few messages that would relate to the "event".....birthday fun!
 
 
Happy Birthday dear friend, perhaps the messages we leave along the way will inspire or motivate someone!!

First Card Found

I'm so excited and very thankful that Dora took the time to let me know she found a card!  So exciting!!!

Here's a picture she sent me of the first card. She tried to comment here so I am waiting to see if the comment shows up in my moderating box but in the meantime I was so excited that I had to post. Here are the pictures she sent of the card she found!


My cards aren't the most artistic but it's the saying, quotation, or personal thought that are the heart of each one. This saying about a few caring people being able to change the world is so true and has always been one of my favorites because it uplifts what we do as educators, as well as, community members. I invite Dora to make a few cards of her own and scatter them along the way!

Home from Alaska

I'm home from the Great Alaska Adventure. Here's a list of where I left the cards. I realize most will be thrown away, ignored, lost or forgotten but I hope perhaps one person will be inspired...whether they comment here or not.

 On the plane heading to Seattle
At Seattle Amtrak station
 Ramada Vancouver Downtown lobby
 White Spot restaurant Vancouver
 Tour boat-Ketchikan Alaska
 By a shop in Ketchikan Alaska
 On cruise ship-Radiance of the Sea
 On cruise ship-Radiance of the Sea (lobby)
 Icy Strait Point (snack area)
 Icy Strait Point-Visitors Center
 Juneau- Top of Mt. Roberts
 Juneau- By travel books
 Skagway-bulletin board at Radio Shack/General Store
 Skagway-by a shop
 Anchorage- by brochures
 Anchorage-by flower shop
 Denali- at hotel lobby

 Fairbanks- Gold Dredge 8
 Fairbanks: Hotel lobby

All 20 cards dropped along the trail...no responses yet but I am hoping someone that's on vacation found one and will respond when they return home. What a GREAT adventure.

In a couple weeks I will be delivering a few "Missouri Messages" here in my home state. Perhaps someone from the Show me State will respond if no one from the Land of the Midnight Sun does.
