Description:

For this swap, you are to make/buy 25 flashcards, or index cards. You then write on one side of each one a phrase or message ( could be soemthing you saw in a card, could be your own phrase, could be a proverb...) with the purpose of keeping your partner going through the tough times. Make them smile, make them feel stronger...

Here are some examples -

Without the rain, there would be no rainbows.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

If you give up now, you'll never see what the future could have given you.

Please don't use all cliches though, be inventive and original.

Now, on the other (blank) side of your cards - this is entirely up to you. No words though. You could make them stripy, spotty, decoupaged... Whatever. NO EXTRAS - HEARTS GIVEN PURELY ON HOW MUCH WORK AND CARE WENT INTO THE CARDS YOU RECEIVED. NO NO SENDS RECENTLY PLEASE.

NO LATE SENDERS.

Once you've received, you have 25 fighting prompts, as I like to call them. You can draw a card at random and meditate on the phrase, or be inspired by it or whatever.
