Week of Happy Envies with a twist!! Christmas

UPDATE!! This is going to have to be a quick turnaround swap. Let's try to think of Christmas as we make this round of Happy Envies. As we put our envies together, try to incorporate what this season is all about. It will look different for each of us, so there is no right or wrong here. As we decorate our envies, let's do it with the Christmas season in mind. Maybe use Christmas wrapping paper, or decorate with Christmas theme. I hope this makes sense! You can still use the ideas down below! Blessings to all of you as we enter into this most Sacred Season.

It is such a blessing to know that each day, you will have made a friend smile with the treasure you have chosen for them for their envelope!

For this swap, you will decorate or make 7 envelopes for your partner. In each, you will put a surprise for them that will bring a smile to their face and add something for them to read .

Here are some examples of what you could send: an encouragement card & a small cross

an inspirational short story with a small profile surprise

a crossword or word search puzzle with an inspiring quote

instructions for a craft and a scripture

a recipe for food, a homemade cleaner or natural beauty recipe with an inspirational poem

a bookmark with a list of Christian books

a postcard with a letter about the place or picture if you've visited it and a scripture

a note from you with a tea bag

a magnet and words to a beloved hymn

OR If your partner enjoys tea, send her a different tea bag for each day along with something else (note, recipe...)

Send a note for each of the days with a little something to do (enjoy a walk outside, enjoy looking at your photo album with family...) & a quote along with a little treat.

You could do a theme. If your partner loves flowers, you could send a seed packet each day along with inspiring quotes about flowers and decorate the envies with a flower theme.

The point of this swap is to have a week of happy envies to open. It is sender's choice. But read your partner's profile and try to put a smile on her face.

Be generous and thoughtful in what you create and send. This swap is not about the amount of money that you put into it. It is about the thoughtfulness of the envies you send. Have fun!! :)

So to recap what is different: UPDATE!! This is going to have to be a quick turnaround swap. Let's try to think of Christmas as we make this round of Happy Envies.
