Welcome, Özlem!

Michael has a milestone birthday coming up in February 2018. I ran an idea past Gail that passed with approval.
I have small cards that are 2.5X3.5. The idea for the card is not to say happy birthday, but you have room to put a few sentences to tell Michael why you love him, his music or how his music helped you in hard times. It’s should be big enough for a wallet size photo if you would like.
Then when he’s home sitting at his desk, he can pull 1 or 2 cards to read when he has the time. Our words will be with him all year.
I request a SASE, and I will send you a card. Write your note and put in your picture. When your finished, mail it back to me. You could even send your note on a 2x3 size paper and I’ll attach it to a card. Send your picture to if you like. That would take out the SASE step.
For those out of the country, I checked with my postmaster and she said you can put your own postage on the return envelope equivalent to $1.15 US.
Email me, Sally, at MYSCRTPSSN@gmail.com and I can give you an address to send your SASE (self addressed stamped envelope).
A second option that isn’t as personal, is to email me a short note and I can cut and paste it onto a card for you. I don’t want to handle pictures this way because I’m not that computer literate and don’t want to make errors with something as personal as a picture.
Just let me know the option that works best for you.
When all the cards are gathered, I’ll put them in some sort of decorate box. And the box of cards will be Michael’s birthday gift from us.
It might seem early, but it’s something that we can work on Now through January. I’d like to be finished by February since I would need to get a box and mail it off to Michael.
Your welcome to share my email with anyone you think may be interested in contributing to Michael’s milestone 65!
Looking forward to hearing from you, Sally

Hi Özlem, well it's been too long since you've posted here and it seems most fans who haven't posted in a good while seldom get mentioned on the birthday calendar thread nowadays.  I just wanted to wish you a very happy birthday, although it must be tomorrow where you are already... :D Anyway, I hope you've had a great day and that you've been spoiled by family and friends. In case you don't follow Michael on Twitter, I've been told that Michael answered a fan tweet, saying it looks like he'll be visiting the U.K. in April 2016, so you'll have time to save your pennies, or pence or pounds until then. :D Take good careÖzlem and hope you're doing well. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada :D 

Hi Ozlem, just wanted to pop by for the latest news. Well just to let you know, I’ve just heard from Amazon and it looks like “The soul of it all” is postponed at least until the end of January. I’m very disappointed, but trying to focus on the  fact that Michael will be on TV on “2 ½ men” in 2 weeks and God willing, we should hear something about the new CD when Michael returns from the Dave Coz cruise...  Take care sweetie. Hugs, sincerely, your friend Sylvie  xxx

Hi Özlem, I've just sent you a PM. Hope you're doing well sweetie, it's been too long since you've been here! :D Take care and hope to hear from you soon. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi Özlem, you're very welcome sweetie! It sure took long enough but you have them now and hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy yours! Take care. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada :D
