Fan Pack Update + a New Project

So we've been doing this Fan Pack project with Eli, and once the packages started rolling in I saw a pretty upset 6 year old as she hadn't received anything. Lexie is a girly girl and isn't into sports so the problem was to trying to find a similar project but nothing I've found has a fast turn around time. So we started mailing letters to different voice actors for cartoons and children's movies. I'll break it all down for you once I'm done with the Fan Pack update.

There have been several email responses as well as packages that have shown up.

We've now received packages from: (*I'm adding ALL the packages and contents)

Boston Red Sox - Sent a tiny bag of dirt from Fenway, a sticker and a pocket schedule.
Charleston Cougars - Stickers, Posters and coasters from the Athletics Department.
Houston Texans - Poster, Children's Activity Book, Schedule, Bumper Sticker, and this 3D board thing that is pretty awesome.

And I had one interesting response from LalaLoopsy the toy people. We emailed them for stickers or whatever for Lexie and I was told to email back in a few weeks. So we will see how that goes.

Now I know up above was a LOT, but I do have some other things we are doing with Lexie as she's not into sports or anything of that nature. We've decided to mail/email actors and voice actors from cartoons and kids tv shows to see if we can get autographed photos.

I sent out 5 already and plan to send out another 5 this week.

This week we sent to Jodie Benson (Ariel from The Little Mermaid), Idina Mezel (Elsa from Frozen), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story), Annie Pots (Bo Peep from Toy Story 1 & 2) and Kiara Muhammad (Doc McStuffins). We also sent out an email to her and an email to Yaya and Zouk.

This week we will be sending out Pat Carroll (Ursala from The Little Mermaid), Joan Cusack (Jessie from Toy Story 2 & 3), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story) and Kathryn Beaumont (Alice from Alice in Wonderland) and I'm still debating on the firth one. I have a small list of actors who do respond with signed photos so I'm trying to send them all out as quickly as I can.

The reason I'm doing him again is that the package I sent out last week had some photos, this time I'm sending out the covers from two VHS tapes for Tristan.
