Ok - desperate NON-PAMPERED CHEF plea here...my hubs is turning 40 in 11 days. He does NOT want a party and would be furious if I threw him any sort of party. BUT, I want him to feel special and loved. I sent out an email to all of his family members, friends, customers, acquaintances, etc asking everyone to write an email about him - why they ♥ him, a fave memory etc...and email it to me and I am compiling it all into a binder for him.

Well...his parents have not responded (I've emailed them 3x) and his sister wrote back REFUSING to participate (don't even get me started)...so, out of the 100 people I contacted, I've gotten 14 responses (2 are my kids (his stepkids), 2 are my brother and my SIL and one is my Mom) so really , only 9 of his loser people have contributed. Unless more of his family contributes, this book is going to be more of a disappointment than anything else.

Would any/all of you mind picking up a postcard from wherever you live and dropping it in the mail to him to wish him a happy birthday? I am hoping he'll get showered with "Happy 40th Birthday" postcards over the next week or two and that'll make him smile.

(btw - postcard rates went up last week - it's 32c now...I'll owe ya big time LOL)
His address for anyone who wouldn't mind sending him a Happy Birthday postcard:
Evan Kraham
5124 Heron Place
Coconut Creek FL 33073
Thanks so much!!
 
I will see what I can come up with for a South Dakota post card, but I can for sure get a Pampered Chef postcard off to him!!! :-)
