Description:

This swap is open to everyone. Items for this swap may be store bought or handmade and should contribute to the positive vibes.

The goal of this swap is very simple: brighten someone's day with a positive message and a small token of support.

This swap will be sender's choice, but feel free to look over your partner's profile for ideas. You will send one note card or postcard in an envelope to your partner and write a quote that is meant to inspire and bring hope and cheer to someone's day. You can write a little more to share about yourself but it's not required. Make sure to include the group and swap name, as well as your SB name. Also include a small gift in the envelope, like stickers, a small sketch you've done, washi tape, a bookmark, a tea bag, or something similar. It's not meant to be elaborate or expensive, just a small reminder that kindness still exists.

Note: Unless your partner has openly expressed their beliefs, please stick to quotes of a nonreligious nature. If you do choose to send a religious quote, please make sure it is affiliated with the belief system your partner adheres to (i.e. please don't send a Buddhist quote to a Catholic swapper.) We have a variety of people in this group and it may be seen as less than supportive to send them some kind words coming from a source they do not favor. If your partner does not state their religious affiliation on their profile, or it is unclear where they stand on the whole matter, it is best to stick to inspirational quotes from a more neutral source.

The deadline to send your card and gift is July 20th, that should be plenty of time to put together a bit of positivity. I wouldn't expect it to be necessary in this group, but I will angel if it comes down to it after appropriate ratings have been given.

Thanks to @bluesky for giving me a new perspective on the use of religious quotes for this swap. I have updated the guidelines for their usage.

Thanks @mandigutterrose for emphasizing and addressing the religious nature of quotes... keeping this a very safe place is of the utmost importance to me (and I feel comfortable speaking for Tracy as well)... That's what this is all about!

Also, thank you for hosting our first swap!

I am more than happy to do it @pkpeace :) I believe even the smallest act of kindness can create a ripple effect, so why not start that first ripple?
