Hey Everybody!! It is time for another super fun Happy Envie swap!! If you haven’t joined in yet, I promise if you do, you will be blessed!! It is so much fun to think about your partner opening up a happy envie that you have made just for her! And it is also fun to see what your partner chose for you!

For this swap, you will decorate or make 7 envelopes for your partner. *** Feel free to get creative with what an "envelope" is! Anything goes! Fabric, folders, fun paper... anything :) ***

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!! :)

I participated in this swap last month and loved it! I am joining this one too. :-) I would love to participate in one of these that has perhaps 4 other partners to send to for a month of envies. :-)

Welcome back!! This really is a super fun swap! I have been doing it for about a year now and haven't missed a month, I don't think! How do you see that month of happy envies working, Donna? Having four partners, so you'd send a total of 124 envies that month? Sounds interesting!! :)

ChrisAnne 03/31/2016 #

I'm loving my goodies this month. I hope my recipient is as blessed as I am. Looking forward to another great month!

shannonlinde 03/31/2016 #

Hi ChrisAnne!! So glad to see you back this month!! I have been so very blessed by this swap series that Christina started! I have truly made friends through this!! I absolutely love finding treasures for my partner!! I am always so excited for them to open each day!! So glad you are enjoying your envies!! We have the best swappers each month!! Lots of repeat envie makers!!!

LittleDonnaGirl 03/31/2016 #

Yes, this is a great idea for a swap and excited to be in it again! My thinking (regarding the idea I mentioned above) was if we had 4 people to send to...we would send (and receive) 7 envelopes (1 weeks worth) from each person for a total of 28 envelopes to open. :) I hope that makes sense. :)

Ooh, I like the idea of having a month of envelopes to open. I vote for both (so people have swap options). :)

shannonlinde 04/ 1/2016 #

Hey!! If someone would like to host a month of happy envies, I'll keep hosting our week of Happy Envies!! You can never send or receive too much happy!!! And I just want to thank you ladies for joining this swap!! I love seeing everyone!! It just makes me think of all the happiness coming everyone way!! You all are such a blessing!!

shannonlinde 04/ 1/2016 #

Oh!! I just finally understood what you mean, Donna!! My brain is tired today!! I love that idea!!!

Just because I want to make sure I do it right, do you send the envelopes one a day, or do you package them all together to mail them?

shannonlinde 04/10/2016 #

Hello!! You package them all up at once and mail together. Great question!! ;)

ChrisAnne 04/10/2016 #

Yeah, partners have been assigned. I have four of my days packaged for my partner already! But I have to mail this week as I am having surgery on the 18th.

cancerianmoon626 04/10/2016 #

Thank you! This is my first time joining this swap, but I am excited about it :)

Artistic 04/22/2016 #

A package went out to my partner today. Enjoy!

shannonlinde 04/30/2016 #

How exciting! Packages should be arriving soon if not already! :) Get ready to have a great week!! Blessings to you all! Shannon
