Some of us are REALLLLLY cold. Some are REALLLLY hot (like loobylou!). Some of are sick or have loved ones who are. Sometimes it seems like we've just got too much to handle. And we are all stressed over the economy. So what do we need? A RAK ATTACK!

Nothing like a Random Act of Kindness to put a smile on your face, a spring in your step, a bit of hope in your heart.

So for the next few weeks, I invite you to join me in a RAK ATTACK!

How? It's easy! Here are several suggestions! Do one -- do them all! No stress -- just fun and sharing the love...

Got a new stamp that you just love? Stamp up some images and send them to someone. RAK ATTACK!

New Shack Plus member on board? Send them a card and RAK ATTACK!

Extra embellies that someone would love? RAK ATTACK!

Way too much ribbon for one person to use? RAK ATTACK!

Somebody dealing with a lot of stuff? Sounds like they need a RAK ATTACK!

You've got the idea! This is a great time to share the Shackie love and support that makes this community so special. Send one, send five, send a hundred!

Just don't forget to RAK ATTACK!

Who's going to join me?:jiggy::jiggy::jiggy:

Nancy what a wonderful thought!! With valentines day coming up...nothing like getting into the spirit and sharing a little love with shackie friends-new and old! It will be fun to see those RAK attack envelopes floating through the mail system.

Just a little nudge to our newbie friends to add your address (including country) to your member profile (click-Member list on top toolbar). RAK mail can't find you if you don't post your address there. Do know the list can only be viewed by members as added security.

Also know there a sheet of Shack RAK "buttons" in the download section.
Thanks Nancy for getting this started!

This is a lovely idea Nancy. Thank you for suggesting it.
I love to surprise people too - so I'll definitely be sending out some "love".

I would love to do this --- I could definitely use some cheer --- had a wonderful holiday visit with my daughter (her fella proposed and a 7/24/10 wedding date picked) and then came home to financial calamity, death of very close friend, and just plain frustration on my job with a new supervisor. Tell me what I need to do and I will certainly do what I can to brighten someone else's day!! Cards are my therapy!

You can count me in. I just re-organized my stamp collection. I have found lots of stamps that haven't been inked yet. I would love to pass some images along.

It would be fun to have a thread where people who received a RAK ATTACK could post it :)

Can we RAK people relatives too???

A RAK is RANDOM -- so you can RAK anyone!

Fabulous idea Nancy. I shall certainly be sending some RAK's

I al ready picked my first RAK recipients. I did a random draw by closing my eyes and rolling my mouse along the letters of the members list, and then the same way by the letter choosen. (if that makes sense)
I came across many that didn't have the addresses in them.
I thought I would do five right now, and then work from there.
I like these kind of things, easy peasy and only the cost of a stamp. :)

I don't know if I mentioned that we have wonderfully inexpensive sources of ribbon here in Korea, so .... All other items to support my card making habit are almost non-existent. My postal address is a US postal address so no extras needed in mailing to me or me to you! Look out ... RAK is coming your way!!

I love this idea Nancy and can't wait to participate! :) As soon as I can get to my stamping supplies, I want to make Valentine's! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Hugs 2 U!

Does is have to be stamped images or products? Can you make an Atc, a recipe card or something else especially made for someone?

jazzypurple853
01-23-2009, 08:31 AM
Or what about die cuts?

allinkdup
01-23-2009, 10:03 AM
let it be anything you want...heck, I know that other than Nancy's RAK to me this last week (which is my favoritist & the best ever!!!!) one of my fav. RAK's was a card with a little pocket inside it with buy one get one free coupons for candy!!!!

I am thinking whatever you want to do is awesome...it is Random, it is Kind and if they don't like it, it is their issue, right? I know there are many gals like me who love just getting a card in the mail :)

I picked out a few names and mailed some things out today. Of course - they are coming from Canada, so they may take a while to get there. Keeping my fingers crossed that nothing gets lost in the mail.

cindi
01-26-2009, 03:08 PM
I mailed out a couple today. I did notice that some people don't have their names in the profile addy. I can't mail it out to a person with no name. come ladies it's only open for shack plus members to see. Please add your names.
