Description:

I've started a project this year to help myself grow as a person. It's been a lot of fun so far and has taught me a bit about myself so I thought it would make a fun swap. It isn't a usual swap for this group but I think it could help get the creative juices flowing.

I chose 52 New Year's Resolutions at random from this site:

http://moninavelarde.com/newyears/

And every Sunday I go to random.org and put in 1-52 to see which resolution I will do for that week. Some of the resolutions are funny and some are serious but I think all are great. If you'd like to see the resolutions I've tackled you can click on the * Project * link on my profile.

For this swap I'd like us to have 3 resolutions chosen at random. You can use the same site I used or ask your Mother to choose them or even a stranger if you're really brave. After they are chosen we will tackle 1 resolution a week for 3 weeks during which time we will jot down our thoughts. It's up to each of you how you want to do this. It could be journal style, letters to your partner or even fictional stories -- just WRITE NOW :)

At the end of the 3 weeks mail your partner the writings along with one inspirational surprise (valued between $5 - $10) that relates to whatever you took from the swap, that may be personal growth, enjoying life, noticing the small things etc.

Partners will be assigned on March 10th giving us 3 days to figure out our resolutions. The swap should begin on Sunday, March 14th and end on Saturday, April 10th giving us 7 days to get everything ready and ship out to our partner.

If this seems confusing, I'm sorry. I didn't know how else to explain it. You can e-mail me or leave a comment with any questions.

I love this idea! I've resolved to be more creative this year, so it fits right in for me! btw, love your "choir" video! You should put it on YouTube!

I agree, you should put it on youtube. I would love to share it with a couple of good friends, but since they aren't botters, they can't get to it . . . and I haven't a clue how I could send it to them. But f you youtube it, i can just tell them to find it there!

I wish that video were mine but, as explained in the blog, it isn't. We weren't allowed to video ours because my big boss may see and heads would roll. The video on my blog is an example of office fun and it is on youtube just search "a day at the office."

As I've received a few e-mails from everyone I'm extending the ship date until Tuesday. I hope everyone had fun with their resolutions!
