I played around with various ideas on how I'd choose a country each month. I wanted it to be random and I wanted it to be eclectic. In the end, I decided to use another one of my hobbies to decide the order of this one.
I participate in Postcrossing, a great site for people who like snail mail. Really, go check it out. I'll wait.
Are you back? Doesn't it sound fun? I forget how I first heard of it, but it's brought immeasurable fun (and friends!) into my life since I first joined, about 2 years ago.
Anywho, back to the divination of the countries....
So, I figured that whatever card showed up in my post box during the last week of a given month, would determine the theme country for the next one.
If in the case of this first month of July, I didn't have any cards coming my way, I'd always leave a card unsent from my allotted amount, so that I could then select a card to send through Postcrossing. Whatever country that turned out to be, would then become the chosen theme country for the upcoming month.
In the unlikely event that no card is due to arrive and I've run out of cards to send out as well...then I'd probably pick one out of a hat or something ;o)
But I think using Postcrossing will work great with this!
Stay tuned for the first chosen country :o)
P.S. Picture above is solely used as an example and does not represent the first theme country :o)
