Q: I am not even crafty. I hate crafts. Crafts make me want to throw up. What about ME?!
A: The swap is not about crafting unless you would like it to be. Some people will craft. Others will not. Swappers can buy OR make their presents, with the exception of the valentine's card itself. If the thought of making a valentine makes you nauseous down to your toes, I hope you'll come up with a clever alternative.
Q: What? I have to make valentines for 25 people? Are you out of your mind?
A: Swappers only need to put together one valentine. That is all. One is not very many.
Q: Valentine's day is an *sshole. Why are you even doing this?
A: Ah! I'm so glad you asked! For me, the swap is less about Valentine's Day than it is about community and fun mail, for fun mail and community make me glad. Valentine's Day is a good, midwinter excuse for fun mail. Also, I am somewhat fond of paper hearts.
Q: You say I have to send you my blog domain. I don't have a blog. Can I still play?
A: I'm afraid this particular swap is for folks with blogs. If you don't maintain a blog, I hope you'll make (or not make, if crafting displeases you) a clever valentine (or unvalentine, if you'd rather) for somebody or something you love. I hope you'll cover it in hearts and stand in line at the Post Office humming a pleasant hum.

Hey, my email has been acting up a little lately, I just wanted to make sure you'd gotten my email and find out whether I'm "in" the swap. :)

(feel free to say "hold your horses," by the way - I've just been a little paranoid about messages getting lost in internet-land lately)
Hi Jenna. I'm in the process of e-mailing folks back. Thanks!
those are some feisty questions.
celia, anon strikes again!
You are so cute.
Until that meanie gives you a demerit.
People who email blog authors can be so funny.
I'm looking forward to seeing the loveliness you help spread, Amanda!
hilarious.
you handled the feist with such grace, as usual.
Can I tell you with giant exclamation marks how saddened I am that I didn't see this post until now?! I am, very.
The swap was so lovely last year, and I was so looking forward to it.
Sigh.
This is what happens when your work audits your internet. You miss important things, like swaps.
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
