ON MAKING THE NOTES

a few important tips, courtesy of a deviant who thinks these things through [so... not me]
*make sure the card/paper is thin so as not to damage the spine
*make sure you use an ink that will not rub off onto the book
*NO GLITTER
*NO GLUE
*NO GLITTER GLUE
*NO PAINT
*you get the idea -> pen with suitable inks only


and obviously
*say nice things
*write the website address on the back
*keep being beautiful <3

oh, and

if you found a love note and you got your book from hatfield library - you got one of mine!

remember: you are beautiful

i put love notes into library books, and hide them in my scanner

16-10-2009

the campaign is simple.

have you ever had a bad day? one where you just want somebody to realise that you are, and make you feel better?

this originally came about because of four things

1) the free hugs campaign

2) project beautiful

3) postsecret readers who put their own secrets into books

4) a lonely bookworm poet, with spare time and a red pen

i started writing love notes, and slipping them into library books that i was returning. as i have an account on deviantart, i posted a scan of them on my page. this was recently given a lot more press [and i mean a lot] and i was overwhelmed by just how many people have messaged me asking if they can do the same.

so, it became a campaign.

to take part, simple write your message of hope onto a small-ish piece of paper, colour as you like, and write this web address onto the back in case the recipient of your note wants to join.

then slip it into any library books you have to return.

[if you are not a library regular, i look forward to seeing where you put yours. suggestions have included: newspapers, blockbuster DVD's, on the train, on the bus, in textbooks, on shelves in shops, etc etc... be inventive.]

that's all it takes.

for more information, or if you have any questions/ideas/features you want to show/photographic evidence of you taking part then message me at my deviantart account [seen at the bottom of the blog] or email me at librarylovenoter@flowersforthedead.com

i will always reply, unless you are being a twit and not offering anything constructive.

flamers, be gone!
