Don't worry, I just managed to get your message in Jacques and finally I have finished the card and sent it off. As requested here are some pictures This is the front of the card. “Baleful Birthday Wishes” was the most popular message so I stuck it on and put a few Snicket pictures around it. I’ve got the V.F.D insignia in the middle, and on one side I’ve stuck a very fancy doily that I nicked. I actually nicked 2 but I lost one of them so I needed something to fill the space on the left hand side. I thought I might stick an empty box of matches on there to go with the whole fire theme, but much to my dismay the closest thing to an empty match box I could find was an empty staple box. So in the end, I decided to use the staple box anyway and put a crab next to it to represent Violet’s staple invention. So yeah the front looks a bit dodgy but it’s not too bad. Here’s the inside which looks a bit like a newspaper which may or may not be a good thing. It has the 667 banner in the middle with the address underneath. Erm… I had a bit of space on the left side of the banner so I put some star stickers there. Although I did not take a picture of it because I made this bit after I took the photos, at the back of the card at the bottom is the words “The world is quiet here” So that’s it. I hope it doesn’t look too bad, and it’s agreeable for most members. Just a few last words I’d like to say, is Thank you. Thank you to Tragedy for making this thread an announcement adding importance to it and allowing it to be more noticed. Thank you to Gigi for supporting my idea, and giving me some good advice. And lastly, thank you especially to everyone who participated, obviously without your participation this wouldn’t have been possible. It’d be a huge card, containing a single message by me which would look rather sad. So thankyou everyone, the card holds an outstanding effort of 53 messages from 667ers!

Go onto the main site: www.lemonysnicket.com/index.cfm and look for where you can contact Daniel Handler himself. Then you can send your message to him. That's an excellent card you made there, Laura. I can't wait to see his response.

I'm sorry lauren. It's still taking me quite a while to get used to peoples usernames and genders. But I'll hopefully get used to it eventually, LOL.

Superb. It looks great, Lauren. I know it's been said many times, many ways (lyric from "Wish you a merry little Christmas") but thanks for making this and putting in all the effort, and I'm sure money to send it.
