Christmas Card Swap!

I have an unquenchable passion like Winnie-the-Pooh; his for honey, mine for stationery. Now, combine my passion for stationery with my passion for the holidays and it's an irresistible cocktail called Christmas cards! All that to say, I have a pile of Christmas cards and, happily (though sad for my holiday card collection), most of my friends and family that live down the street.

I thought that maybe there were others in a similar predicament - lovely holiday cards and nowhere to send them - so I wanted to open up a Christmas card swap. I was imagining the joy of receiving cards from all over the world from my delightful bloggy friends!

There aren't any rules, really, just send me an email with your mailing address and leave a comment below. It's open to international readers too, of course! I'm going to see how many people respond before I determine how many people to put in each group, so if you have a limit, let me know.

I won't be collecting addresses after December 1 so that we can all receive our holiday cards in enough time to incorporate them into decorating. Hooray!

A Few of My Favorite Things...

This is one of the happiest things I have ever seen. Inspiring blogger, Blair, has several marvelous blogs and one of them - http://abrownpaperpackage.blogspot.com - connects girls around the world so they can send each other packages of delight. She says that her program "was started in hopes of connecting girls throughout the world through handwritten letters and little gifts."

You must go to her page and sign up for this purely perfect opportunity. Even if you don't sign up, you can now go through Life more happily knowing that a site such as this exists.
