In February Heather from the Notes from Lapland blog started aSecret Post Club. At the beginning of every month we get a new swap partner and have great fun picking out items just for them and sending the package in the mail. Hopefully they get it by the end of the month!
This month I got my package from Keri at The Hidden Domestic! What a wonderful name for a blog!! Keri took the time to look at my blog and see what types of books I like to read and sent my this one by Steve Perry! I've been eying his books at the library, but haven't picked on up yet. Now I have no excuse not to read one! She also included a wonderful card, bookmark and some very pretty rub-on transfers! THANK-YOU KERI!!
I had also joined a Postcard swap. Received my first postcard this week, from Australia! This was a family themed swap, and my card and the cute little booklet about Australia were made by Mackenzi and Connor!
There should be 4 more postcards coming and they could be from anywhere in the world. I sent two to the US, one to England, one to Australia, and can't remember the other one. If anyone would like to swap postcards - just let me know!! It's been quite a bit of fun :)
I love these kinds of random acts of kindness. It just makes things sparkle. And odds are, we may forget birthday gifts--but we'll never forget an unexpected surprise on an un-special day. It's what turns the ordinary into the extraordinary.
If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.

ReplyDeleteI've participated in two swaps already, thanks to you, it is so much fun. I might want to do the postcard swap. Let me know what I have to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks Audrey!
I really like that postcard idea. Sounds like something that could brighten any day :)
ReplyDeleteI agree on the postcards!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Postcards from other places are indeed great, but handmade postcards are even better!
ReplyDeleteA Book Club swap sounds like a great idea!
Sounds like you're having fun, Audrey! I can't join any 'swaps' because I'm so bad about mailing things. They'd sit on my counter for a month! ~karen
ReplyDeleteYou must adore going to the mailbox!!!!
