Jessica Photo
coming soon

Hi,

Jessica turns 50 on December 7. I'm putting together a box of cards for her from people who know her, and I'd love for you to make one.

It's a surprise, so please don't mention it to her.

I'll give her the box on her birthday and tell her more cards are coming, so if you can't get yours done by then, that's OK.

Thank you!
Nate

What to write

Here are two ideas to get you started.

  1. A moment that stuck with you. Something that happened with Jessica that you still think about. It can be big or small: a conversation, a trip, a time she helped you, something funny. Tell her what happened and why you remember it.
  2. What she means to you. Something you want her to know. Maybe it's what she's meant to you over the years, or something she did that mattered more than she probably knows. An example helps.

You don't have to stick to these. Write whatever you want to tell her.

Details are great: where you were, what she said or did. It doesn't need to be long. If you want to send more than one card, please do.

If you're mailing a card, feel free to add things to it: photos, stickers, a drawing, a ticket stub, a newspaper clipping.

Make a card

A handmade card is best. Anything works: handwritten, drawn, a photo with a note on the back.

Card details

  • 7 × 5 inches, wider than tall, so it fits in the box. A folded card is fine if it folds to that size.
  • Flat enough to stack. Please no glitter.
  • Put your name on it.

Mail it to

David Huyck
PO Box 832
Northfield, MN 55057

Please mail it by December 1 so it's in the box on her birthday. Later is OK too.

Use a sturdy envelope so it doesn't get bent. Please send it to this address, not our house, so Jessica doesn't see it. (David and Cailin are collecting the cards for me.)

Anyone I should ask?

If you think of someone who should make a card, let me know and I'll make sure they're on the list.
