17th of May cards?

[misscam]

I mentioned this once before, but I am doing so again now - if you'd like a 17th of May card from Norway, speak now or forever hold your breath. Or at least until next year. 17th of May is our national day, so I will send out cards with much Norwegianness. You can even request moose or fjord motifs or some such if you want.

I will screen replies to this post, so you can leave your address in a comment, or e-mail me at camilla.sandman at gmail dot com.

Now hold your breath. Cards will be sent out soon to the over 40 that asked. Hoep you like them.

Psst, will need your name as well.

Hello! Sure, friend away. And for a card I'll need your real address - it'll be a genuine postcard sent all the way from Norway.

Okay, this is an awesome idea.

Can people living outside Europe take part?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Of course. Most of the people who have asked so far are Americans, anyway.

So why did the 17th may get picked?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

17th of May 1814 was the day we got our constitution.

So, you've got a big anniversary in 8 years?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes.

We also had a big one in 2005. Though we got our constitution in 1814, we didn't officially become a fully independent country again until 1905.
