Description:
There is a holiday for every day of the year. Since we will all be using the same holiday calendar, go to this website for the calendar month of February: http://holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/february.htm Using this calendar, you'll pick 4 different holidays from the month, you choose which four, and send something to your partner that has to do with the holidays you choose. It can be a news article, craft, purchased item, etc., just mix it up a little. Anything that comes to mind that represents that holiday. I am changing things up a bit. Only one flat paper item will be allowed. This includes postcards, recipes cards, xeroxed paper items, coupons, bookmarks, etc., with the exception of a small note that you would normally send, or if you are sending extra items. This is a type 3 swap. There are so many fun holidays this month! For ex: February 7 is Send a Card to a Friend Day, so you might decide to send a handmade card to your partner. February 28 is Floral Design Day, so you might send something with a flowery spring theme. Use your imagination! So you will send your partner a total of 4 items. After you have collected the 4 items, please send them all together to your partner by the assigned deadline of January 26. This is USA/Canada only, 1 partner, and anyone with 4.95 ratings or better, and no recent unexplainable no-sends or lateness. New swappers with a full profile are welcome. This will be fun!

Only one flat paper? Meaning the other 3 things be a toy or 3 dimensional?

Yes, only one flat paper item unless you are sending more than 4 items such as postcards, recipes cards, xeroxed paper items, coupons, bookmarks, things of that sort. The other 3 items must be something other than what I mentioned. It could be anything, from puzzles, stationery sets, pens, trinkets, books, craft items or something you made. I made this requirement so that nobody only gets a package of only paper items.

Love the idea of this swap...getting so many ideas already! It's national heart month (embellished fabric heart or crossstitch heart mini hoopla)...don't cry over spilled milk day (buy or make a cute tea towel or mug rug)....Groundhog Day (mini groundhog plush)...day the music died (cd of their music)....random acts of kindness day (send public Art or a treat for them to randomly place in a public oark or store to make someone else smile)....get a new name day (a funny My Name Is patch).....did I say I love this idea? Lol. And I love the "only one paper item" rule as well :) bringers crossed I have enough time to commit to sign up this month

Oh, I missed out on the sign up! Shame! I love this monthly swap. See you in March!

So many great ones. I am loving (and hopeful) for Groundhog day something and really am thinking on fairy tale day, tooth fairy day, polar bear day and kite flying as ones that may inspire my package . Fun swap did one of these before and really enjoyed not only receiving but creating the package to send out.

I think the most fun of this swap is coming up with creative ideas and gifts!
