Ok after the fun we had with the snowflake swap, who'd like to be in another little quick and easy swap, and just to show each other how much we care, I though we could make and send each other a heart. You can use whatever technique you like to make your heart but it needs to be delivered as near to 14th February as possible, and being valentines day I thought it would also be appropriate to include a little bit of chocolate in your parcel.

We had a few delivery problems with the snowflakes and a lot of snowflakes were slow to drift in. I realise that it was often beyond our control but part of the joy of swapping is anticipating something popping through the letterbox within a certain timescale so to this end (and i'm not pointing any fingers) Please do your best to stick to the dates given.

Here are the Valentine swaps rules.

sign up below by Friday January 22nd now closed
swap list will be posted by Sunday January 24th 6pm
PM the person above you on the list with your address (ie LynneB to pm Joy, Caloubear to pm LynneB, Joy to pm Josiekitten)
Send a “heart” and some chocolate to the person below you on the list; take your own photos just in case and post to say it’s on its way. (ie Joy to send to LynneB, Lynne B to send to Caloubear etc, Josiekitten to sent to Joy)
Parcels to arrive as near to February 14th as possible
Please acknowledge your gift and post a photo of your gift as soon as you receive it.
I HAVE BEEN ASKED AGAIN TO STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF POSTING A PHOTO OF YOUR GIFT, IT IS UNFAIR NOT TO SHARE THE EFFORT THAT HAS BEEN MADE ON YOUR BEHALF.
If you do not post a photo within 5 days then your swap partner can do so to show off their work. If you are not able to comply with this please ask to be removed from the swap. (sorry to sound officious)
If you are having any trouble meeting your commitments please please keep open a channel of communication with me and your swap partner.
And finally this is supposed to be a quick, easy, inexpensive and FUN swap so enjoy yourselves. let your imagination run riot with the possible ways to create a heart. Nothing too big or expensive.

extra guidelines,
I randomly mix up the list before I post it. If you find yourself next to someone you have recently sent to or received from and would like an alteration made, I will move your name to the bottom of the list.
I suggest obtaining a proof of posting.
If you have any problems posting overseas please let me know.

Go enjoy .....
