InstaFriday & a Valentine Swap

Hi Friends! How has your week been?

Be sure to read this whole post.. there is a FUN thing happening at the bottom :)
If you're new around here, InstaFriday is where I dump all of my photos taken on Instagram during the week. Do you have an iPhone? Then you should definitely download the (FREE!) app and join in on the fun!
You can follow me there, too! My username is Cotton_Lane

This week seemed to FLY by! I went on a road trip to see my sister on Saturday and finally got the missing pieces to my new sewing machine. We made homemade pizza, drank frozen hot chocolates, and went bowling. I made a new tunic and it rained... a LOT. And... lots of other fun things.

Ok, here's where it gets good:
Alissa (of Rags to Stitches) and I have been brainstorming a fun way to celebrate everyone's favorite HALLMARK HOLIDAY. We thought it would be great to have a blogger valentine swap!

I mean, who doesn't LOVE a little snail mail? Especially when its filled with Valentine's Day goodness!

Here's what's going down.

To sign up, you just need to fill out a few questions and Alissa and I will partner you up with another FABULOUS blogger. Once you receive your partner, you will be responsible for making their Valentine's Day extra special. Send them a card, their favorite candy, a gift card to Starbucks, a fun new CD... whatever you want, really, as long as its between $10- $15! After you have mailed off your goodies, you get to wait for your special surprise to come (via snail mail!!) and once it does, you can take photos, write a fun post, and link up to mine & Alissa's blogs! 

Does this sound like something you'd be interested in? We would love, love, LOVE to have you join our little party!

Sign up by January 23th, you will receive your partner by January 25th, you'll need to have your goodies mailed out by February 1st, and the linkup party will be on February 14th!
