Vanessa's birthday is over, moving this to a normal thread -katia
Hello,
NESSAholics.com is coordinating something for Vanessa's birthday and we need your help! For all the hard work Vanessa does writing beautiful music, touring, recording and performing... we want to give back to her a day to relax! We have decided to purchase a gift certificate for a Day Spa for Vanessa to spend an entire day getting pampered! We need your help for a couple of things...
First!, Along with the gift certificate, we will be attaching a packet of several birthday wishes from her fans! We need you to hurry and submit yours! Go here (http://www.nessaholics.com/pages/nh-birthday.php) to read about the plans and process, and submit your Happy Birthday to Vanessa!
NOTE: Deadline for submitting messages has passed!
Second!, We are hoping you will find a way to contribute any finances you can spare to help us pay for the gift certificate. We have setup a PayPal account and provided an address (mine! heh) to send cash/checks/money orders to contribute to this overall goal. Remember, no amount is to small (or to large ;) ) and we appreciate anything and everything you can give.
Thanks everyone for your time and thoughts... since her Birthday is soon, please submit your birthday wishes ASAP!
-katia
p.s. our target is ~$300 so let's make it! If 15 people give $20, we already make $300... easy, right?
-
My twenty bucks will be in the mail on monday.

cool idea
did a birthday wish instead 8)
-
I just received a response from Peter (Vanessa's Manager) confirming he will ensure it gets to her. He also noted it's a very nice gesture =)
C'mon guys! Submit your birthday wishes and donate if you can!
-katia

katia,
I will send money as soon as i can. I don't exactly know when it'll be sent out but i will definately send it sometime, even if its after the date. So u can count on atleast like 10 or 20 dollars from me.
-
oh wow! that is so great... Thank you very much! =)
-
oh cool. awesome idea. i'll try and get some money out of my dad. i spent my last dollars on a nessa poster on ebay. lmoa. oh well. haha
hey katia, when did you guys come up with this idea?

-
We've been tossing it around for a few days i think... then i got back from NY and was like "OMG, The deadline is so soon! we have to get something going!" so i put everything up last night.
Anything you can do is greatly appreciated and will help to our end goal!

i'll try as hard as i can. my parents know how much i love nessa. they hear so much about her from me that they call me Vanessa, and tell me to learn some new songs (because i play hers like everyday hehe)
so, i think i'll get some money out of em. hopefully....
great idea. very cool

*will try to send a dollar (well you said no amount is too small...and i can't ask for money from my parents for a spa trip for nessa...lol)*
-
I guess I will try to send some money but it would probably be after the deadline....cause right now....$0 but as soon as I am able to get some, I will start sending.... :D
-
I sent a contribution and message. We need more people. :)
-
I'm gonna send something...maybe 10$ ....but as of know I have no money...I'll see what I can do though
And right now, I'm trying to think of something original to write to V. And nothings coming to my head lol
-
LOL, i know the feeling... anything you can contribute helps tremendously! we're about 1/3 of the way there already!
I hear ya on submitting something original, it's rough ;)
Also, i LOVE your avatar.
-katia
-
i will try to help out, cos i wanted to last yaer but i had no job/funds
this year i do =) so lemme pay back my dues, and then i'll see what i can do, i think i do $10 at the least

i've been holding it in the light and everything... i think i'll go steam it off :D
EDIT: Actually, i don't even like the envelope, i'll combine it with all the birthday letters in some fashion in the booklet instead
here it is!!!!!!
(http://www.nessaholics.com/images/bday_gift_certificate.jpg)
I tried with flash too, doesn't turn out that well, i need natural sunlight perhaps... *might try taking pictures outside*
or i guess i could connect my scanner... i'll do that before shipping it to her for the best pictures EVAR

hahah you finally opnned it! You crack me up!

Okay! I posted this on the oboard, but i'm posting it here, too!
I'm so thrilled that we're at 65 but wouldn't it be great to double that? There were over 100 last year :( So think about this, do you have friends that like Vanessa Carlton? Do you have old friends from the boards on AIM? Do you have other forums you visit with fans of Vanessa? Maybe they would be interested in submitting a birthday wish directly to Vanessa! Touch as many people as you can =)
sooo c'mon! Let's make it happen =)
-katia
-
C'mon everyone! We're in the home stretch now! We're at 90! We want to at least get 103, and if possible go well over that so keep them coming!!!
=)

boat on water = She Floats
flag = Ameriteen

I got in on that message thing. I don't come in as ofTen as I should, but I was glad I logged in when I did because the deadline was that night. What was the final count on that?
-
I know some of you are curious about the final product and have an overall curiousity of what is going on. Check here (http://www.nessaholics.com/pages/vc_birthday_final03.html) for various shots of the package (most pics were posted here as well). The package was shipped Fri the 15th (delays due to the power outage, Fedex could not guarantee a delivery if shipping Thurs) and should get to NY today (mon) before noon. It was shipped to Vanessa's Manager (Peter) who agreed to ensure she receives it. I'm waiting for an update that it was received and will ask what the time frame is to get it to Vanessa

I wrote a long one (I think) and I feel the same way as you two about her shows.
-
mine was short and to the point kind of thing. i knew i wouldn't be able to write anything that she would remember, so i just wished her a happy b-day and how much her music means to me. that's about it

I didn't write a birthday message, I don't think. But it's all good.
-
Just so you all know, it was signed for on Mon, I emailed her Management and they replied (within a few hours i might add!) saying they will ensure she gets it, they thought we were VERY sweet, and that it was a very nice gesture.
-katia

very cool!!
