Description:

This is a fun, simple swap for those who love to write lists.

The theme for this swap is: "Ten accomplishments that I am proud of". For this swap, you'll write a list of 10 things you've done in your life (so far) that you are proud of AND want to share with someone else. :)

Thank you, girlonaglide, for this great idea!

You will be sending one list to each partner. The lists can be handwritten or typed. They can be put on stationary, postcards, or any media of your choice. The choice to be creative is up to the sender.

Unfortunately, you will be dropped if you: have a low rating, are late on other swaps, and/or have too many unsatisfied swaps. If you fall into any of these categories and would like to stay in the swap, please send me a message.

This is an international swap. Newbies are welcome, but please make sure your profile is completed. If you have any questions, please let me know.

If you have ideas for future "I ♥ lists" swaps and would like to share 'em, please send me a message as I would love to hear 'em!

EmilyBemily and girlonaglide: Thank you so much for this... It's something I really need to think about (remind myself of) right now. What a great idea!

keroleen73 04/18/2007 #

This is a great idea, wow! :)

Lunaria 04/18/2007 #

This is better than therapy! Thanks for keeping thsi going and keeping it meaningful.

user960 04/18/2007 #

Yay, I just made my list and it's ready to go out into the world! Dang, now I have to wait all that time for my partner assignments. ;)

tannermom 04/18/2007 #

I am so busy making lists that I never accomplish any of the items on them! Count me in....

whateverdeedeewants 04/18/2007 #

here's an idea... 10 classes I wish I could take! This arises from two thoughts: (1) I've been out of college since 1991 and still regret that I didn't take more studio art classes and whine about this to whomever is around at least once a week; (2) I just got the summer catalog from the Community College of Southern Nevada (I live in Las Vegas) and if it weren't for the fact that my parents in Alabama are ill and I am having to make multiple trips back there over the summer, I would SO TOTALLY take their 12-week Saturday class on slot machine repair, just because how many people in the world know how to REPAIR a SLOT MACHINE?! And what would the other people in the class be like? And what wacky situations might I find myself in during the years to come in which I would be able to put my slot-machine-repair skills to some kind of unforeseeable, MacGyver-esque good use?

Anyway. Maybe you can word the topic more eloquently, but there's my idea contribution.

EmilyBemily 04/24/2007 #

sophiejune - that class sounds great! i hope you find the time to take it sometime soon AND will write a blog about your experience. i'd definitely want to hear all about it. :)

and thank you for sharing your idea!

keroleen73 04/27/2007 #

How about a list of "10 things that make me unique"? Can you bend your fingers in funny directions? Do you have a heart-shaped mole on the back? Do you still remember a poem you learnt in primary school? Never broken a bone in your body? Any other skills or oddities that make you individual?
sophiejune - Slot-machine repair sounds awesome, only a college in Las Vegas would offer something like that! I hope your parents will feel better soon :-)

yarnpie 04/27/2007 #

That's a cool idea keroleen73

EmilyBemily 04/29/2007 #

keroleen73 - great idea! thanks for sharing it. :)

keroleen73 05/ 3/2007 #

Okay, here she goes again ;-)
How about a list of 10 childhood memories? They can be quite insignificant, small things, like a certain kind of candy that always remind me of my grandma. Or the fruit-shaped plastic beads I loved to play with in kindergarten (See? I started crafting at an early age, haha!).
Just my 2 cent...and tell me when to shut up, okay? ^_^;

hyperoma 05/ 5/2007 #

hyperoma 05/ 5/2007 #

user8484 05/23/2007 #

I am a newbie, but I have a complete profile. :-)

I think this is a great idea - hope noone minds if I join!

EmilyBemily 05/24/2007 #

ChristiL - welcome to the swap! :)

user8484 05/24/2007 #

Thanks - looking forward to it!

I ♥ Lists on ten things we couldnt live with out this might have already been done Im not sure

EmilyBemily 05/29/2007 #

Check out "I ♥ lists #5" here: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4211.

cerebellum 05/29/2007 #

Not sure if any of these have been done, but how about:

  • 10 things I'll never forget. Either lessons learned or memories from our lives.
  • 10 reasons I love my SO.
  • 10 reasons I love being single.

For hearts there could be something extra tucked in: - a picture of that time period in life, a picture of the person and their SO, a picture of the single person out having a good time being single:)
- a snack/candy that brings out those memories

keroleen73 05/30/2007 #

SaraBean - I like the idea of a combined SO/single swap :)

lindalee 05/31/2007 #

GREAT idea! I'm a newbie... my profile is all filled out though! ;-)

beenebag 06/ 3/2007 #

How about 10 things that make you happy or bring you joy? Or 10 things that help you relax?

I started a series of ATCs that I used my #1-#10 rubberstamp on but never could get to filling out the list! This would be a great swap to share. I'm always interested in what makes people happy or contented or de-stressed. I like the idea of making these lists as ATCs since they can fit in your pocket or purse and become little "therapy" cards:)

Let me know if you go with this theme, I might just get around to filling it out finally :)

Clayshaper 06/21/2007 #

How about 10 movies you liked, and why? (I know lots of people keep 'top ten' lists... but I often wonder why they came to mind, how they picked THOSE top ten, and why they liked them!)

user9142 06/22/2007 #

I had to drop from this as I wouldnt have had time to complete it! Will look out for another list one when in more advance.
