Description:

This swap was inspired by the charity swap currently going underway... Here is your chance to do some good, big or little in this world. This is an INTERNATIONAL swap. Bear with me for the details on actual \"thing\" to swap.

Random acts of kindness, if you\'re not familiar with them, are just that: random and kind. You are not receiving credit or even acknowledgement for doing something good by the recipient. Here are some examples: you pay for the person behind you in line at the drive-thru without them knowing and leave before they realize it, your office co-worker is having a bad day and you leave an anonymous inspirational note or flower on his/her desk, you leave a bag of groceries on the doorstep of a neighbor that you know could use it, etc. Get the idea? It could be as little or big as you feel it\'s necessary. Involving as little, big or no money at all.

Now the item to swap: After your act of kindness, create, write, photograph, draw, collage, etc how you felt after you did it. You may or may not include the actual act that you did or you may show a picture of it (for example, flower left on desk, mcDonald\'s food, etc). Your creation can range from an ATC, embroidery, hand drawn picture, digital picture or photograph. Anything goes as long as it fits into an envelope and can be mailed. (Please put effort into creating something thoughtful that shows thought and effort was involved.)

PLEASE note this is an INTERNATIONAL swap. Newbies welcome, swappers with ratings below 4 please contact me and explain. This is a feel good for you swap- let\'s not let each other down :>)

ETA *New dates to allow for more people!

Congratulations on a great idea, Csilla. This combines RAKs with a creative endeavor! I'm coordingating a less creative but still RAK-related swap here at http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/2189 called Kindness Observers Postcard Swap; just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else would like to join. (I have mentioned this swap over on mine, too.) :-) Happy RAKing!

Great idea Csilla! If I weren't already overcommitted to March swaps, I would join! Good luck!

Thanks, guys! I hope we get some participants. Robin, I looked at your swap, sounds great! I am going to try to participate- I am quickly being spread too thin as it is. Great idea for you too!

Csilla: You may not be getting a lot of people signing up for this swap because there are so many March sent by swaps on the go now. Perhaps you could consider changing the sent by date to April. There's not as many swaps for April yet. T.

You know I was thinking about that! Glad you mentioned it. Maybe I will- I'm new at this but now I realize my dates are a little screwy... That will give me more time to sign up for others (eeek- how does one stop??? :>)

TerryF 02/19/2007 #

YOU CAN\'T STOP - that is the swapper\'s mantra! lol

TerryF 02/19/2007 #

Oooh.. lovely swap idea! More people should join in! Giving you all a quote to think about in the spirit of kindness:

Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. ~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Okay- the partners have been assigned. Happy swapping! Hope everyone has a great swapping experience...

With no cords to trip over or limit your range, you can work in any location without worrying about finding a nearby outlet. But with so many different cordless tool sets available, how can you be sure you're making the right choice? Here are some factors to consider when buying cordless tools. https://cordlessmag.com/best-ice-auger-for-cordless-drill/

Car shipping can be a great option for students attending college in a different state. Instead of driving long distances or relying on public transportation, shipping your car gives you the freedom and flexibility to explore your new surroundings. It's a convenient solution for student mobility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGCfbPJoMjQ
