2014 Valentine Swap

 

Let’s start the fun!

A card and or tag, and a decorated Valentine Candy Box.  Square, round, heart shaped, a Valentine tin…whatever you fancy.  Fill the container with “bits and bobs” for Valentines and Spring that your partner can use for crafting.

OK….Here is the list…

I am going to leave it up to each participant to go to the blog they are paired with and meet their partners!  And again… get to know them!  If they are someone you have never met, then guess what?  A new friend!  If you have swapped with them before, you have a head start on knowing what they love.:)

If you find you are having a bit of a creative block, check out “Valentines” on Pinterest….if you cannot find inspiration there, you can’t be inspired! lol

If you have any questions please email me….sanjos333@gmail.com. 

I hope everyone has a great time swapping, and remember if you can…use what you have, be creative and be sure to enjoy the process.  :):)

2014 Valentine Days Swap-let’s do it!

 

PLEASE NOTE:  There are numerous comments that were deleted, I only deleted two and one was by whoever wrote it, PLEASE check and see if your comment is still below if you wish to be in the swap!  Sorry…don’t know what is going on….

 

I had a few questions so I added some more info below in # 1.
I have had quite a few emails and such about whether I was going to do a swap and I have decided that yes we will!

After having joined and hosted a few of these swaps I do have a set of rules….sorry but they are necessary for the swap to be good for everyone involved.



1. Make a Valentines Day card or tag or both. Also, a decorated candy box with  Valentine and Spring ephemera. Items people use to decorate crafts with, stickers, papers, lace, ric-rac, buttons, anything you think your partner would love, and of course a Valentine treat!  A box that is good for candy, like a Whitman’s Large Sampler Box is plenty large enough! This swap is not about sending the biggest box, but the most thoughtful.

2.  US bloggers only
.
3. You must have an ACTIVE blog, one that has been posted to at least twice a month in 2013,  if you do not use your blog, it is not active.

4. This is a one on one swap. Really look at your partners blog and ask questions….get to know them a bit better than just looking at photos or posts. This is not like a “secret” exchange so ask away…

5. These need to be in the mail no later than Feb 1^st…..otherwise we get too close to the actual holiday.

6.  Use what you have! We all have many wonderful bits and bobs we can part with.  Let’s see where this takes us, I know for me it will be fun to find items in my stash….:)

7.  I will answer any questions you have via email.  sanjos333@gmail.com



8. PLEASE leave a comment on THIS post, with your email address also if you wish to participate in the swap. Bloggers that do not comment on this post, will not be added.  No emails asking to enter the swap please! I am going to pick partners in 7 days. That is January 9th. 
There will be NO more participants allowed to join after that, so please post this to your blogs so we can get a lot of participation!  The more the merrier!
Thanks and lets have fun!!!!!
