The Great Round The World Envelope Race
Some time back I was contacted in regards to participating in this Round the World Envelope Race. Two teams of bloggers, pitted against one another in a race to see who can get their envelope around the world first!!!
Sounded like fun.
So I said yes.
And was assigned to Team Power Tac.
The purpose of this challenge? To help raise the profile of the humble, almost forgotten envelope.
Now, you know how much I LOVE to get real, live touchable mail!!! So, real live touchable mail from another country was REALLY exciting.
And the envelope - so thick and sturdy!!! I didn’t know they knew how to make “real” envelopes anymore.
Here is a photograph of some of the envelope contents:
It came to me from a lovely blogger in the US and I’ve now sent it on to Simone in Italy.
It’s quite exciting seeing the flags from various countries accumulate as the envelope circulates around the world. As you can see, I added some Aussie ones, as well as a few other little bits and pieces related to my blog and the envelopes visit here in rural Australia.
Don’t forget that in honour of the Great Round the World Envelope Race, I’m offering to send mail to any of my readers (and yes, you can be anywhere in the world). Simply enter your postal details on the form in this post.
Make sure you have a look around the Pushing The Envelope Blog. You get involved in your own envelope challenge, and of course, follow updates on the Great Envelope Race.
Go Team Power Tac!!!!

Jodi, how wonderful to see that the envelope has reached you and realize that it’s already on its way to Simone! I was just thinking of you today as I came across some fallen leaves…
Go Team Power T-a-c!
That sounds like a lot of fun to be involved in.
[...] bloggers have embraced the challenge and upped their game with a succession of quick handovers. As Jodi points out once the envelope arrives on your door mat the competitive instinct really hits home: “It’s [...]
sounds very interesting … you just reminded me I had better get my Christmas ornament swap in the mail.
I enjoy reading connections across the globe like this.
The race is almost coming to an end! Thanks again for taking part and good luck Team Power Tac!
