WIYM: Quality Quotes: ATC size or smaller

I am an enthusiastic collector of other people's words: inspiring, funny, uplifting, sympathetic, you name it, I love quotes! I know I share this passion for human expression and communication with lots of you out there, so I thought I'd make a fairly quick and easy swap where we can share some of our favorites with each other in a way that lends toward even more sharing.

While it's wonderful to get quotes to look at in a "joy jar" or jot down in our journals, planners, or scrapbooks, I'd love to be able to interact with the insights sent to me and then pass them on as well. Playing to the crafty creativity in us, I'd like for everyone who'd like to join this swap to do the following:

1. Find a dozen or more quotes that you'd like to share with your swap partners (all-time favorites, newly discovered, quotes along a theme, whatever you prefer-- as long as it's touched you or made a difference to you in some way).

2. Print, type, or otherwise present these quotes in a high quality fashion such that they can be included easily on an ATC or journal page (make sure the final quote fits in a space of 2.5"X3.5" or smaller).

3. While these can be prepared in advance as this is by nature a sender's choice swap, in order to avoid triggering traumatic memories or difficult times for our partners, please use good judgment, check your partners' profiles, and be sure you haven't hit on any of their dislikes before sending out (phobias, political or religious ideals if unwanted, etc.).

4. Be sure to include in your envelope a note with your name, your partner's name, and the name of this swap. You might like to say something about what these quotes mean to you or why you chose them, but that is absolutely optional and not a requirement of this swap.

A final note: In order to share with more people, and because this is a low-postage, low-cost swap, we'll each be getting 3 partners. Please feel free to make/print multiples and use the same quotes for all partners if you like. You will send each partner at least one dozen different quotes, with their original authors attributed.

Happy swapping-- I look forward to hearing your shared thoughts. :)
