Dear Mr. Handler,
It has come to my attention that you are one year older. If I knew you better, I would prepare an eloquent letter addressing your many accomplishments and end with a toast to your health. Regretfully, I don't know you that well so this toast will have to do.
"To Mr. Handler, may your life be much happier than your alter ego's. Cheers!"
With all due respect, Alice Thompkins

(So no one gets confused, I put this in parenthases so you know not to put it in the note:
I thought it'd be cool if I drew something, scanned it in, and had you attatch it to the card and send it. Would that be alright?)

Thank you for that offer Orphaned_hope, I’ve seen some of your work and I think it’s great. However there is a very limited amount of space on the card and I don’t want the card to seem biased, having one member’s work prized above many smaller messages. I hope you can understand. However Gigi is organizing a compilation of 667 artwork, fanfiction etc which she will send in to Handler. Perhaps you could submit your work there.

Lauren did you want any help putting the card together? Um, the 13th is a Monday, so perhaps not.

Dear Mr. Handler: You're older than you've ever been And now you're even older And now you're even older And now you're even older You're older than you've ever been And now you're even older And now you're older still
Dear Mr. Handler, you have introduced kids to reading, taken them on astonishing adventures, introduced them to credible characters and taught them valuable vocabulary. For that, we say--you are an awful, awful man. How dare you produce such woeful writings, despairing drama and sorrowful stories? We hope you decide to never, ever, ever, EVER write again! Have a birthday that's as miserable, lousy, atrocious and wretched as your books. Let my words ring in your ears. Ring! Ring! We have never been more disgusted! We really thought we would love your books, but they are vile, terrible and we hate you and your books. --J. Sottle and Fleur N. Ralp from NYC

Yes, if you have fan art, PM it to me and I'll print it out to include with the package. Also, Lauren, are you planning to mail the card to me to include or are you mailing it separately>)

If you want I can send it to you first, but if that happens i'll have to make the deadlines for the message submissions shorter.
And A, if you want, we can meet up at the Alexandra library on Sunday to work on it and I'll send it on Monday.

I went shopping yesterday and the largest card I saw was a little bigger than an A4 sheet of paper so I think I’ll have to make it personally. However I want to make it so that the layout is agreeable with most members. So here are some questions which need to be addressed:
1. What colour should the card be?
2. What colour should the writing be?
3. What should the Main message at the front of the card be?
4. Should there be a picture at the front of the card?
5. What main message if any should be inside the card?
6. Should I personally write the messages out myself (warning I have terrible handwriting) or print them off the computer?
7. If I print them off what font should I use?

1. Probably white, but I'm boring 2. Probably black, but I'm boring 3. Not sure 4. Not sure, but I think it might be cool to have that picture in your sig with him wearing a pink hat somewhere on the card 5. Not sure 6. Type them 7. I'm looking on Microsoft Word for good handwriting-ish fonts right now. BernhardFashion BT, Allegro BT, Blackadder ITC, Bradley Hand ITC, Curlz MT, Forte, Gigi, Harlow Solid Italic, Harrington, Kristen ITC, Lucida Calligraphy, Lucida Handwriting, Mathematica5, Pristina, Ravie, Script MT Bold, Tempus Sans ITC, and Viner Hand ITC all seem like good handwriting fonts, maybe you could have each message a different font. Or maybe you don't have Microsoft Word and I just wasted my time.

1. What colour should the card be? If it's just going to be one plain colour, then green would probably be the most appropriate if we want to play up the Snicketiness.

I like the picture of Handler in your sig and think you should include that along with just a birthday greeting on the front. Inside, you probably don't need any message besides what people have posted.
Definitely include the 667 banner along with the URL.
A green card would be nice, but then if you print the greetings and paste them in, they won't blend in. Maybe you can use white paper and put a green border on it.
