Happiness is sometimes a series of simple moments and steps, connecting with another person, receiving something in the mail that inspires and uplifts, doing little things that make the heart fuller. Sooooo, let's partner up in the ongoing quest for happiness! This is a month-long swap. Please only sign up if you can commit to sending within the time parameters listed. WEEK ONE - Mail between Monday, October 6 and Saturday, October 11. Send your partner an intro letter. This can be short or long, on a notecard or pretty stationery. Include a list of 25 sources of happiness for you. WEEK TWO - Mail between October 13 and October 18. Send your partner a greeting card filled with poetry or quotes that give you a sense of happiness. For this, try to purchase or create a card that is profile-inspired. It doesn't have to be an exact profile match, but take what you know of your partner and do your best to choose something that is quite likely to put a big smile on their face. (Note: A greeting card should be larger than the average notecard, like one you'd find in the greeting card section at stores.) WEEK THREE - Mail between October 20 and October 25. Take 4 photos that answer, "For me, this is happiness." Have these professionally printed (usually around 20 cents each at a place like Walgreens or Target) and send them to your partner in an envelope you've decorated in a happiness theme. Use at least two mediums for your envelope. (For example, magazine clippings, paint, colored pencil, stickers, rubber stamping, etc.) WEEK FOUR - Mail between October 27 and November 1. Send your partner a profile-inspired package. It should include $5 worth of store-bought surprises (can be a single surprise or multiple smaller ones) and one handmade item made with care & love (example: art journal page, ATC, bookmark, craft, etc). In this package, also include a letter about happy moments you've experienced in October; any length. MAILING & RATING INFO - When you send & receive each week, please leave a quick comment below ("sent" and "received" are perfectly fine). You will mark the swap as sent when you've sent ALL your mail, so sometime between October 27 and November 1. You'll rate your partner when you've received ALL of your mail. PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS: 4.98 minimum. At least 15 type 2 and 3 swaps. No recent or unexplained 1s or 3s. I will remove anyone I feel will hinder the happy flow and success of this swap. Let's have fun and explore happiness! :) |
