Sizzlin' Summer Swap
This will be fun – don’t be scared…it's an adventure!
A swap is simply this: you sign up, then you are assigned a swap partner in the US, put together a package according to the Sizzlin' Summer Swap guidelines, mail it out and get a great package from your partner full of summer goodies in return!! It’s a great way to meet a new friend and it's always exciting to get stuff in the mail (sadly, often the highlight of my day)!Sign up by: Monday, July 16th at midnightSend out by: Monday, July 30thHere are the guidelines:
Collect and mail six items following the S-U-M-M-E-R theme. Each letter represents a type of item to be sent-they can be bought, made, or found around the house (there's room for interpretation with these-be creative!)
S-sweet: everyone needs something good to eat while lounging next to the pool
U-unique: lots of opportunity to be creative with this one!
M-made: meaning homemade-does NOT have to be complicated and does NOT have to be made by you-but wouldn't it be fun?!
M-mommy summer essential: sun-block, flavored Chap Stick (okay, these are MY essentials), hair ties, sunglasses, a good book-again, lots of room for interpretation!!
E-everyday: one of your favorite things that you use everyday during the summer
R-recycled: can be thrift-ed or just something you think someone else would enjoy
2. Don't spend more than $15 total (not including shipping)
3. Be creative and have fun!!
Remember that your partner is counting on you to send a package, so try to have your package finished and mailed by the send off date, following the Sizzlin' Summer Swap guidelines. It would be horrible if you sent a swap to someone and got nothing in return-"do unto others as you would have other do unto you" :)
Please email me and say you’ll do this with me. The more people involved the better it can be. Who knows, maybe this will catch on and we can do this for other seasons!!!
