Thanks to @hollycm6 for permission to use this idea!

I participated in this swap when I was a member of Dandelions Smiles and really enjoyed it. It's super easy and I thought it was a lot of fun to do.

The idea is to send an inspirational/encouraging message to your partners in the style of a old-fashioned ransom note. Using random letters from magazines, newspapers, junk mail, etc. create your encouraging message, quote or word (as @hollycm6 put it "even one word can be encouraging if it is the right word!") Please have your note be at least 3x5 inches large. You may decorate the envelope anyway you wish, but I wouldn't recommend "ransom note" style...we don't want police attention! ha!

Here is the message I sent for the Dandelion swap for an example.

Because this is so easy and I want us to spread the encouragement as much as possible, we will have 2 partners.

Glitter is optional but encouraged. ;)

Thank you, dear Terry. :)
Even if only one other berry plays, I'll be happy. ♥

If things are too much for folks and y'all would rather have only 1 partner, just let me know and I will magically change that. :)

@gooseberry has not been on since April 28. I have emailed her to ask if everything is alright.

If she cannot make it back in time to assign partners, I will redo this swap. (";)

I am back. Thank you, dear Terry, for offering to step in. I've assigned partners and am looking forward to receiving encouragement from two my two absolute favorite people here on Swap-bot. ♥

Love you both.

I'm glad you're back as well Elizabeth :-) looking forward to doing this swap. I was very absent as well, so I didn't even notice the sign up deadline had passed. I still have a lot to learn... thank you Terry for watching out over us and this group :-)
