Attitude of Gratitude Swap (USA only)

In tough times, it's easy to focus on all the things we don't have. This swap isn't about that. In the spirit of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, this swap is to get us thinking about all the things for which we should be grateful.

You will send TWO things to your partner.

• A letter, that includes at least 3 paragraphs explaining what you are thankful for. Each paragraph should mention something from one of the following categories, and all three categories should be covered in your letter:

  • Person(s)
  • Place
  • Thing

So, as an example: you might write a paragraph about why you are grateful for your best friend, a second paragraph about being thankful for your public library, and a third paragraph about your appreciation for coffee. Three paragraphs, three different topics. You get the idea.

Your letter can be typed or hand written, whichever you prefer.

• A little flat something for your partner to enjoy. Check their profile for specific likes/dislikes. Ideas: stickers, bookmark, artist trading card, postcard, notecard, die cuts, etc. Can be handcrafted or store-bought. Handcrafted items should be well-made.

Send on time. Letters should arrive well before Thanksgiving.
Rate promptly and accurately. (This is your way of showing gratitude to your partner!)
Communicate if there are problems.

I monitor the participant list daily but generally don't remove problem swappers until just before assigning partners. I reserve the right to remove anyone whom I think may be a problem swapper.

Newbies welcome with a filled profile.
