I want to do it...but I don't get it...please explain more.
for those who are new to blog swaps, let me explain a bit more. a blogger hosts a swap in order to allow readers to interact, stretch out the circle of friends, and swap creative ideas + beautiful items. plus, everyone loves receiving a fun package in the mail - especially from a new blog friend!
mellow yellow is open to interpretation, it doesn't need to be handmade, doesn't need to be expensive, just a simple color-coded idea. there is a lot of room for your own personal creativity. i think we could all use a bit of relaxation too, so i thought it would be nice to shed some light on practicing a more MELLOW lifestyle. whether it's a tea light candle, a booklet of crossword puzzles or a can of diet coke.. please include it in this color-schemed swap.
i have been involved in swaps wherein we swapped Valentines and another where we swapped three useful items. i enjoyed surfing new blogs and discovering more about my partner, hoping to mail them something they just might find useful + fun. it's also intriguing to find out what the other swappers decided to send.
hope this answers your question, gab. think of it as a simple way to spread the love + mellow a fellow blogger out!
Marta, I just discovered your blog today and I love it. What great timing because your swap sounds fantastic and I'm signing up now...
hi marta! are international addresses acceptable (i.e. england)? i'm willing to ship internationally as well, of course, but if for simplicity's sake it's not possible, i totally understand! megxx
meg, international friends surely are welcome too! for those in the USA, please indicate if you are willing to ship your swap internationally and i'll pair you up accordingly.
thanks for your support + enthusiasm.
