Random Notes of Happiness #1

Hosted this one previously so I decided to run it again. In an ideal world I would have gotten it together enough to have happy thoughts for all of 2023 but that is not to be. The goal now is for MOST of 2023.

We will buy a jar or even better, repurpose a jar. We can decorate it, or not. Frankly, if you don't want to put your notes in a jar that's fine as well. My intent is to fill up my one jar with notes from all of the swaps. But again, the jar isn't actually part of the swap.

The swap is to cut 10 strips of paper (preferably plain on one side paper or at least a paper that is easy to read) and easily foldable for our jars. On each of those pieces of paper you will write something happy, encouraging, thoughtful, etc. It can be a quote. It can be a tasteful joke. It can be personal note. And yes, it can be handwritten or typed.

You will do this 5 times as you will have 5 partners.

When you receive your strips, fold them and put them into your jar without reading them. When you need a moment of happiness, you will have several to go to.

I will be setting up 7 of these as I'd like to have enough to last me for the rest of 2023. Sign up for as few or as many as you'd like. However, I DO ask that you use different happy thoughts for each swap. Also, be sure to include a note with the name of the swap and your user name.

This is a low cost swap so I will be opening it up for Newbies. However, for those people who have ratings there are 2 requirements:
- You cannot have any unexplained 1s or 3s from the past year.
- You need to have signed into Swapbot within a few days prior to the partner assignment.

I will angel as necessary as long as enough time has passed since the deadline AND you have rated your partner a 1.
