message in a bottle <3
(image credit)
Have you ever put a message in a bottle and then tossed it into the ocean? I remember doing it when I was little (like 13-ish) when I first saw the ocean. I remember writing a little note about me and then putting my home address in it so that whoever found it could write me back :) As soon as I tossed it in the ocean, I was paranoid that some creeper would be the one to fetch it out of the ocean and then try to come and fetch me.
LOL. That is how I think!
I have probably done it at least 5 more times in my life too. Never with my address, just a happy note.
I wonder if anyone has ever found one of my letters?
When Adam and I went on our cruise to Mexico I wanted to do it again but then my conscience and the thought of polluting the oceans kicked in and I didn't do it.
I kind of feel like tossing a bottle with a sweet, happy message in it for someone to find, is pretty magical!
Don't you think?
I honestly believe that my letters have been found, and people's days have been a bit happier because of them.
So, have you tossed one?
Have you ever found one?? That would be even cooler :)

that'd be totally rad if i found a bottle. but i used to do them all the time at the beach too.
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of the message in a bottle but i'm a nature-lover so i just don't want to pollute. All the bottles floating in the dead zone of the Pacific Ocean are probably everyone's messages...hehe.
ReplyDeletei've never done it. although i've contemplated the idea a few times. i was always too worried that somehow the person finding it would be some mass murderer and come and kill me and take all of my toys! ha!
ReplyDeletethe idea is a cute concept though. :)

never have....but there's a Hallmark movie (I think it's called "The Note") where this woman whose a newspaper columnist finds a note at the ocean and eventually (through her column) finds the person the note was intended for and saves the day!
ReplyDeleteI dont know if u do it in america but in england we do messages attatched to balloons as well as messages in bottles, i have found a few of the messages on balloons when i was younger but i cant remember what they said! pretty kewl idea though!
ReplyDeleteI use to do messages in bottles when I was little. We would go to Galveston every summer and that was one of my favorite parts :] I wonder if anyone ever found one of my bottles..
ReplyDeleteevery time I go to the beach I look for bottles. one day I know I'll find one.
ooooh guess what?

I put a note in a plastic bottle and sent in down a canal way once. It said something along the lines of "aliens have taken over, help" I was 20. ha
ReplyDeletebtw I love you blog, so happy to have found it
I started taking my peace pictures today! I am sooo excited :)

ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know! :]
loveeeeeyou!
I am so enjoying your peace pictures. I will be doing mine tomorrow.
ReplyDelete**I gave you an award on my blog!! Check it out!
I never have, I haven't even seen that ocean and I don't think that throwing into a lake or pond would be to magical. Maybe someday!

I have done it! I have a river flowing right in my backyard and i totally threw like an iced tea bottle in with a note from me. i think i was 9 or something, im sure it was pretty groundbreaking stuff...:)
ReplyDeletefinding one would be magic.
Hey I found your blog from my sister's blog Pixies&Bears and I like what I see. the message in a bottle was cute idea I've never done it myself but now it makes me want too. I just started blogging a couple days ago haven't created anything yet, but I'm hoping to learn real soon. I hope you don't mind me following you, I hope you follow me too! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I love that you have a message in a bottle floating around out there just waiting to be found! I wonder how many other ones are out there? I think next time I'm on the East coast I'll consider doing this! :)
