Wear Your Heart on Your Swap



UPDATE: WE'RE ALL FULL. MANY THANKS FOR RESPONDING!

Hello, dear reader. With the end of January nigh, it's high time for me to announce the second first milk Valentine's Day blog swappity swap swap. It is fun! It is heartful! It is like receiving a valentine from your bestest third-grade crush. Only better, because you won't have to wonder what "I think you're sweat [sic]" really means.

The swap works thusly: You e-mail me, and I e-mail you a swaplet. You send a small box of goodies, outlined below, to said swaplet and receive a package of goodies from a swaplet. Voila! The swap is complete.

Details:

1) Same rules as last year. Each Valentine's Day box should contain three items: a valentine, a small gift, and a little something (something little, lovely--a red pencil, a box of sweets). Presents and little somethings can be bought or crafted, but valentine cards themselves should be hand-made. Getting all gluey is just too fun, you see.

2) To sign up, e-mail me (firstmilkmaid@gmail.com) with your name, mailing address, and bloggity blog blog name/domain by this Friday, January 29th, and indicate whether you're willing to ship internationally. I'll contact you with your swappity person soon thereafter.

3) Please postmark all packages by Saturday, February 6th so they have a full week to make their way in the world. Ok? Ok.

4) I'd like to keep this on the small side of things, so will cut it off at 25 swappers or so.

For inspiration, a few posts on last year's swapped goodies around the Interwebs: here, here, here, here, here and here. Huzzah!
