Valentine Card Swap

What a great idea. Crow and Canary is hosting a Valentine's Day Card swap! You send 4 cards, and you get 4 original, handmade cards back! I just signed up and want to share the info with you.

Here is the scoop...

• The idea of the swap is to connect with people, so please be sure to write a little 'hello', favorite quote/recipe, or whatever else strikes your fancy. The intention is not to send blank cards for later use, but for recipients to enjoy now.

If you'd like to participate, please leave a comment and email carina(at)crowandcanary(dot)com, by Friday, January 21th at midnight PST:


Please include the following information -

- name
- mailing address
- email address
- blog/website (not required)
- willing to swap with international partners?

+ You'll be notified of your swap partners on Monday, February 1st via email - depending on the turnout, you may have as many as four partners.

+ Cards should be mailed no later than Monday, February 7th.

And of course, I LOVE this detail she shares..
I would love to see a focus on sending handmade paper goods, but don't want to exclude any non-crafty types. I'll simply say, I'm in the business of supporting and spreading the word about amazing indie designers. So, if you have the choice between a Hallmark card or a card from your local letterpress printer I humbly encourage you to choose the latter! AHEM.



What a great way to reach out to other cards lovers, and hopefully make the world a little smaller!
