January Couleurs de Vie

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Private Swap, hosted through www.flickr.com/groups/couleurs-de-vie/

US/Canada

Color is such an amazing part of the joy of life. Color represents not only visual aspects, but also emotions and moods. These swaps will be a nod to appreciating interesting combinations of colors.

You will send a package valued at $15 to one partner. The items should all fall into the aqua, red, and pink categories....or a combination of any of those colors. Please choose items carefully to fit the theme and do your best to incorporate the info from your partner's profile.

Please include at least 1 handmade item in your swap. It doesn't have to be made by you, just handmade by someone.

In addition, try to creatively package your swap. I love it when I get a swap that is all wrapped up neat!

Some ideas of items you might include:

• Notecards, Stationery, Notepads, or Postcards
• Ribbons, Beads, Baubles
• Fabric or Yarn
• Bath, Body, or Beauty Products
• Snacks
• Seasonal Decorations
• Jewelry
• Altered Art
• Pincushions
• etc.

Use your imagination and keep your eyes open for these colors. I'm sure these are going to be gorgeous packages!

These swaps are now run through the CDV flickr group. Please post photos of your swaps sent/received there and remember to rate your partner promptly so they know their parcel arrived safely.
