Valentine Secret Sister Heart Swap

Dear Georgettes,

SISTERS…….. the best thing in the world is to be loved by a sister or a friend who is just like one. They know when you need a hug, need to be left alone, cheer you up with a cup of something hot, a pretty cake, or open a bottle if it is even tide and sing into the night. Talk the legs off you, and open us up to laugh at our antics and at not to be so serious, and help us feel pretty, when we don’t recognise it in ourselves.

This time, we will celebrate St Valentines day, & make our Georgette sister a heart shaped ornament. So she can hang it on her mirror or somewhere that means she is precious to us. Everytime she looks at it, it will remind her she is special and loved in our land of Georgettes and that we care.

Does that sound like a swap you would like to participate in? We would love to have as many of our members join in with us, to be our own Valentine Secret Sister.

For this swap we shall make our sister a beautiful handmade heart using your strengths. SENDERS CHOICE. Hearts are universal so you cannot really go astray here. It may be a Regency watercolour heart with a centre area with a special meaning for sisters or roses etc. If stitching a heart maybe some quilting or perhaps a pieced heart or embroidery. If journaling/collage is more your forte`, perhaps a sturdy backed paper heart with your paper ephemera gracing its front. What ever your delight in making, please add a secure string or ribbon hanger for display.

I have set a short sign up for this swap, so you may start your planning & making as soon as you sign up, so that if you have a partner in a far away land, they will get your envelope by Feb 14, if you send early. That is the aim of this swap ladies.

And add a pretty note perhaps in your chosen characters voice or your own, along with your gifted heart your receiver will treasure and help her know she is special.

Ensure your envelope/package is well secured and somewhere on the outside have a heart visible for the postman to share a smile.

Please send something you are so proud of, and would love to receive in return, it takes a lot of gumption to put ourselves in a vulnerable creative position. Let us do our best work and in turn, be acknowledged for it..

Please rate kindly. If there is a problem please contact Anna or myself.

If you have not swapped before in this group, we encourage you to share your address in our forum page for addresses. Your partner may wish to send you a personal thank you letter. This would be l precious response from our sisters.
