A contradiction of sorts

Hello everyone!

After a self-imposed blog break I am back.  So it is April.  Is it me or is 2007 flying by?  Last year at this time several bloggers joined together in a movement called Use What You Have Month.  If you have not heard about it, here is the low down.  During the month of April you challenge yourself to use only what you have on hand in the crafts and projects you are working on.  In an effort to be more green I will once again be joining in. Read here as to how I did last year. 

So what is the big contradiction you say?  Well for some time now I have been wanting to organize a swap.  I now have the inspiration and the time but I am feeling a little guilty to be introducing it during Use What You Have Month.  Here is the information for the swap:

Five Senses Swap

Each swap participant will send five item to their swap partner. One item must correspond to each of the five senses See:: Smell:: Touch::Taste::Hear 

I would like you to focus on quality not quantity when sending your swap.  Keeping in mind the beauty and purposefulness of each item you send.

Swap sign ups will begin today and end Friday, April 6th.  If you participate in this swap you  must be will to send a package internationally.  If you are interested in signing up for this swap please email me at fivesensesswap@yahoo.com with your name, address, email address and weblog.  I will have your swap partners to you by April 9th.  Your package must be mailed by Friday May 11th.  If there are any questions please email me.  Have fun and be creative.  Happy Swapping!

Sounds like fun. Do you mind if I mention it on my blog? So many people ask me if I know about any upcoming swaps... and now I do :) Thanks!~

I'll join you in the "Use what you have" month! In the spirit of keeping green [both environmental and keeping money in the pocket!]

No my dear...it is definitely not you. 2007 is going way too fast for me, and everyone around me. Does that mean I'm getting old. I used to get so annoyed when old people sat around and talked about how much has changed, but now I'm doing that very thing. Oh my...
