TCHH: Week of Happy Envies ~ August

Shannon @shannonlinde is tied up this month and asked me to post this swap for her. Same guidelines as always.

Decorate or make 7 envelopes for your partner. Feel free to get creative with what an "envelope" is! Anything goes! Fabric, folders, fun paper... anything :)

In each, you will put a surprise for them that will bring a smile to their face AND add something for them to read .

Here are some examples of what you could send:

• an encouragement card & a small cross

• an inspirational short story with a small profile surprise

• a crossword or word search puzzle with an inspiring quote

• instructions for a craft and a scripture

• a recipe for food, a homemade cleaner or natural beauty recipe

• a bookmark with a list of Christian books

• a postcard with a letter about the place or picture if you've visited it and a Scripture

• a note from you with a tea bag

• a magnet and words to a beloved hymn

• a book or booklet and a craft to try out

OR if your partner enjoys a certain thing, you could package the contents of each envelope/packet/package as a theme.For example, if your partner loves flowers, you could send a seed packet each day along with inspiring quotes about flowers and decorate the envies with a flower theme.

The point of this swap is to have a week of happy envies to open. It is sender's choice. But read your partner's profile and try to put a smile on her face.

Be generous and thoughtful in what you create and send. This swap is not about the amount of money that you put into it. It is about the thoughtfulness of the envies you send.

HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE: For this swap, you will decorate or make 7 envelopes for your partner. Feel free to get creative. In each envie, you will put a surprise for them that will bring a smile to their face and add something for them to read!

You will mail all your envies in at once, in one package. :) Have fun!!
