How Important is Receiving a Heart to You?

So I've been thinking long and hard about this question! I can tell you that one of the reasons I wanted to start my own swap group is because I think the quality of a small swap by a trusted group of swappers will yield greater Joy and Satisfaction than just a random group of people like you see a lot of the time on Swap-bot! I realize that I do get excited when I receive a 5 plus a heart, but maybe it's just not satisfying enough for me! I think we can come up with a better way of praising eachother! I'd love to hear some feedback on this little diddy! Tell me what's on your mind!
P.S. I do have to say that if it weren't for Swap~Bot I wouldn't have been able to pluck my favorite gals out of the bunch to join forces! I'm not putting it down ~ I just get frustrated sometimes!

The Core Idea is....

My dream swap group is truly coming to fruition! So this is what I'd like to see happen: just a quick overview here!Since there will be 13 of us total and there's 12 months in a year (yes I realize the 13th person is odd girl out...keep reading :), what I'd like to see happen is each person will have the chance throughout the year to come up with "one" swap theme! And that way we'll all get to know eachothers likes! ~ We will each swap once a month with eachother and never have the same partner twice. Think of it as a rotation swap (hence the clock face image :). Once everyone has joined I will assign a month to you. Please leave a comment below and tell me your birthday month (and of course the actual day too so we will all know when everybodies' birthdays are). So now for the math problem of 13 girls to fit into 12 months. After all have joined and we know what our themes are: I will pick a name from a hat and whomever I pick: "WE" will join forces to make it an Extra Special Swap Month. For instance instead of sending to one partner that month you will send to two! I hope I explained this okay ~ it is early and I'm not totally awake yet! It makes sense in my head maybe just not in type :)

Scouts Honor

Ok, so here it is straight from the horses mouth! We are all here for a reason! It's very important for me to tell you, as individuals you stand out to me in a huge crowd! Let's face it there are millions of people online everyday and out of all of them I chose you to share my heart and soul with!I don't want to get too sentimental, but just know that you mean something to me. Wether it's the late night messaging, the fun swaps, the picture you post whatever it is, it's made an impression on me and I just want to keep the friendship "flame" burning!
Cheers!

The Deals~ an Inside Scoop!

I know it's a little early to start thinking about the New Year, but I want to be nice and organized come 2008 so that's why the early invitation! First off: Hi to all my friends who have been personally invited to join this PRIVATE swapping group! Since I love to bake I thought it only appropriate to invite one Dozen Deliciously Sweet Ladies! We as a whole are "The BAKERS Dozen" ~ 13 is a very LUCKY number to me! I'd like to keep this Small and Intimate due to the Overwhelming problems of Flaky Swappers out there. If you were invited that means in my opinion...YOU ROCK for so many reasons like: you're Friendly, Creative, Artistic, Talented and Awesome!! If you would like to be part of this once a month Swapping group, please comment below! I will always due my darndest to stay in communication with all of you! Please, when you leave your comment tell me ONE theme you'd love to swap! More details to follow...
Thanks for Joining~ I'm so excited to kick the NEW YEAR off right!
