it's a good thing...

...I love reading... Because frankly, I'm over-booked!
[feel free to laugh at my intended pun, starting... now]

And I don't know why I'm always doing this to myself. I suppose I'm a glutton for punishment. Or something. I have lots of projects yelling at me. And I'm pretty sure I've gone deaf...

One of them is screaming at me from the top of its lungs: the swap! So listen up all you love-spreaders! By now you should all have your partners' information. I'm pretty sure I didn't leave anyone out. But I could be wrong... let me know if you haven't heard from me! Anyway, now is the time to get to know each other! I tried really hard to pair people up that I thought had a lot in common or could benefit from each other. After all, that's what friendship is all about!

Now, a note about the card-making. I'm not a mathematician. Sorry to disappoint. While you'll be sure to receive a total of three valentines, you only have to make two (no worries, you will get three cards in the mail, just in time for V-day!). Here's how it's going to work: you make two cards and send them to your partners. If you've already made a third valentine, I have a suggestion to make. You can either give it to a total stranger at the store, church, movies, park, etc. OR you could send it to a long lost friend, a lonely relative, a secretive crush, whatever.

The saying "spread the love" is so much more than cheesy; it's sincere. And whether you're in the swap or not, I think we can all afford to love everyone just a bit more. So make someone feel better today, and the next day, and the next. [and in an effort to be an even bigger cheese-head...] Together, we can make the world a better place.

It's so true. Love's a very good thing. *B
