Swappity Swap Swap


Guess what guess what?! The Free People blog is doing their annual Valentine's Day craft swap, and there's just one week to sign up. I've wanted to do a blog swap my whole life, I'm pretty sure. AND NOW I HAVE A BLOG.

(I will not pretend that blog swaps were very far down on my list of reasons to start a blog in the first place.)

Pictured handmade swappy Valentine is from the perfectly photographed land of Jordan Ferney.

What is a blog swap?

Amanda said...

It's a way to send/receive fun mail: Everybody signs up, then the organizer sends everyone an address, and you send your person a present in the mail. Since this is a crafty Valentine's Day swap, crafty Valentines will be involved. Fun, no?

Amanda said...

And sometimes there are rules, like you have to have a blog so you can "meet" you person via the Internets. Or everything has to be one color, like this one from Marta Writes: http://martawrites.blogspot.com/2007/03/youre-invited.html. Yay!

Hey! It's like secret santa! I want to swappity swap!

Meg said...

Um, can you just do one here?? Please? Maybe a small one?

Jen said...

I too have signed up even though I have a Valentine. We sadly, rarely exchange creative hand made gifts so am looking forward to the creativity of it all. I wonder, how do they match bloggers appropriately?

Amanda said...

Squeeee. Yay, Meg. Good thinking. It would be more fun to do with folks we know anyhow! I'll arrange one next week.

Mouse said...

Yay! Because make a present is hard. Maybe it could be a smaller one. Or make a present, but with all the people round here. Squeeee indeed!
