Seven Days of Specialness Project

So it looks like quite a few of us fancy feeling a little bit special this February. So here are the full details of the Seven Days of Specialness Project - a swap to brighten up the dark days.

To sign up, you need to email me ([email protected]) and include the following:

• your name
• your blog url
• your location
• mark your email 7 Days signup

I will leave sign ups open until 6pm on Sunday 13th December.

The following week, I will email you with details of your swap partner. This will be a simple back and forth swap (so you will be sending to and receiving from the same person). Do email them, introduce yourself and exchange addresses. For me, one of the best elements of swapping has always been the  connection made with another blogger. Making a new friend just might be the most special gift of all.

Now, the swap package itself. The Seven Days of Specialness Project is inspired by all the wonderful Advent calendars that have been appearing in blogland of late. So your swap needs to be split into elements that can be opened over 7 consecutive days in February.  How you do this is only limited by your own creativity.

It is up to you to get to know your swap partner and to imagine what might make them feel special. Like all the best Advent Calendars, this is not supposed to break the bank, it is meant to be a tiny treat to raise the spirits.

Your package needs to be in the post by February 1st.

Sound simple enough? Let's hope so! I'm looking forward to feeling extra-special this February.

I'd love to do this - thing is I am the least creative person I know. I wouldn't want to saddle any partner with me and my crappy packages.
