squishie etiquette
Hi all,
I'm kinda new to all this squishie thing.... I got the directory mailed to me yesterday and it's great to have everyone's contact details. My question is this though, I have seen loads of postings where people are delighted to have been surprised by a squishie and I was wondering what sort of process you all use to decide who you're going to send a squishie to? Is it generally to people you know, or have had lots of contact with? Or is it for people who are having a birthday or something? I'd love to get in on the fun and send out a couple of packages, but I'd hate people to think some weird woman they'd never heard of was stalking them and sending strange things through the mail!

I'm not in the directory (missed the deadline and didn't realize begging might have gotten me in....lol) but I would think if you are in there no one is going to think you're a weird stalker woman. ) -- Jeri |

As I see it no one would think you were strange if you sent them a squishie. I
just find an FQ or 2 and look down the list to see who would like it and then just pop it in the post Flossy Malvern England ***** Queen of Plaids ****** http://www.flossy.net |

Hi,
I can't imagine anyone here who get's a squishie thinks the sender is weird...., atl least I never would think that :-) As I'm concerned, when I sent squishies ( only a few, I have to admit ), I picked random names. I selected from the favourite colours or I selected a country and a name, which sounded somehow familiar. Just send.... you'll find out that sending is as much fun as receiving...

OK, you've all reassured me that I won't be locked up for sending fabric to
strangers in the mail! I've sorted through my stash and will be sending my first four squishies out tomorrow. I'm not going to say who they're going to, but one is for the USA, one for Canada, one for Aus and the other is staying right here in the UK. Morag "Morag Peers" wrote in message ...

Any reason whatsoever is good enough for sending a squishie, to any person
at all. The queen has spoken. Karen, Queen of Squishies -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ * We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ www.SimplyMusic.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Hullo Morag
I have to say that I felt a bit the same, at first. Not so much the 'stalking' bit; but who to send to? I kept it in mind for a few weeks reading the NG, and then sent to a few people chosen for one or other reason from their messages. After that, I didn't need to question - it all became much easier. Also, of course, as Flossy said, it does depend a bit on who likes what you've got to send! .. In article , Morag Peers writes Hi all, I'm kinda new to all this squishie thing....

While we're on the subject, it seems that I was told that posting a
thank-you for a squishie on the net was not appropriate, that an email thank-you or a real thank-you note was better. (Lest the 12,000 of us who didn't get a squishie feel left out.) So, Your Majesty and Noble Authority of Squishies, what is the preferred protocol? Since you are The Queen, feel free to imperiously make up rules. Who better?

No one would think you are weird. It's quite wonderful to send and receive
squishies. When I send squishies, I write RCTQ by my return address. That way, the recipient knows that it is safe to open the envelope even though the name & return address might not be familiar. I think some thank-yous are posted here because the recipient did not know the squisher's snail or email addy and wanted to make sure the squisher knew that the squishy arrived safely and was appreciated. Squishies can be sent for many reasons including birthdays, just because, thank-yous for advice, life stress-relievers, congratulations, gesture of friendship, etc. -- Ginger (in Texas) |
