Description:

I've seen a graphic floating around Pinterest that provides prompts for goal setting for the coming year. It covers a range of topics, and I thought it might make for a fun letter writing swap!

For this swap, you will write a letter to your partner. Start by introducing yourself in a simple paragraph. Then, answer each of the following prompts and write two or three sentences providing details for each:

In 2014...

A habit I'm going to break:

A new skill I'm going to learn:

A good deed I'm going to do:

A place I'd like to visit:

A book I'd like to read:

A goal I'd like to accomplish:

In addition to the letter, take a look at your partner's profile and include an inexpensive flat surprise you think they would enjoy. (A postcard, a notecard with envie, washi tape samples, a sticker sheet, a tea bag, etc)

So it's one letter (handwritten or typed) in which you introduce yourself for a paragraph, answer the prompts with a few sentences each, and include a flat profile surprise for your partner!

This is an international swap. Because this is taking place during the holidays, you will have two weeks to send your letter. You must have successfully completed at least 5 Type 2 and/or 3 swaps. Ratings of 4.98 or higher only, no 3 or 1 ratings within the last six months, and no late swaps on your dashboard as of the date I assign partners. I will check profiles and ban on the day I assign partners.

**I just wanted to say that I the Pinterest post this swap is based on leads to the tumblr home page, so I don't know who to give the proper credit to. If you know, please send me a link to the original site, and I'll add a credit! Thanks!

Let's start off 2014 with a plan and a smile! :)

I just wanted to say that the Pinterest post that inspired this swap brought me to the tumblr homepage. If anyone knows the original site for these prompts, please let me know, so I can give proper credit! Thanks!

Yes, littlemiss, please add link to original. Thanks.

@Artistic I unfortunately don't have the link to the original because it's something I found on Pinterest that doesn't lead to anywhere when you click it. This happens sometimes if the person that pinned it first didn't link it to the url properly. I've searched around but have not been able to locate the source of the graphic with the prompts. If anyone else recognizes it though and knows where it came from, I'd be very happy to add a link.

I just wanted to let everyone know that @mojo09226 will be allowed to participate even though she has a 4.95 rating. She contacted me directly, we discussed it, and I trust that she will fulfill her swap. :)

I also wanted to add that I will be willing to angel the swap if anyone flakes, but let's all play nice and it won't have to come to that, okay?

Partners will be assigned shortly!

A packet of This Year 2014 went out to my partner today. Enjoy!
