Blessing Box Swap 1.0

Welcome to Blessing Box Swap 1.0.  - NOW CLOSED
I recently participated in a prayer box swap and blogged about it last week.  The response to be involved in one was great so I have decided to organize one. 

How does this work?  
Complete and submit the form below by June 27th.  You will receive an email from me the following week with your box swap partners information.  The two of you will be swapping your blessing box with each other.  This will hopefully create friendship and connection.  Fill your box with items based on the information you received and send by the deadline.

What do I put in my blessing box?
Include 4-5 items worth at least $25.00 in total.  These items can be bought or homemade.  If an  item is homemade, estimate how much it may be worth to buy. 

All boxes must be mailed out on the deadline!  This is only fair and considerate to your partner.  It does not need to be in an actual box.  You may mail it however you would like.

The deadline to mail all the boxes is July 11th.

If you are on Instagram, hashtag #blessingboxswapone if you want to show your blessing box or how it's coming along.  

Here is the form to complete:  Link Removed

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at lovelylittledayblog@gmail.com.  

I'm glad there are so many others who are interested in:
a] being creative 
b] a blessing + taking the time to pray
c] being intentional 
d] creating community and friendship


Blessings.

Prayer Box Swap 4.0

This past month I participated in my first box swap.  This one was a prayer box swap.  I've seen them a few times on Instagram and got my name in on time for this one, PBS 4.0.  This particular one was set up by BubabdNonnie Blog.  This is how it works: you sign up to participate, fill out a form about yourself.  Mainly your likes, interests, hobbies, personal information if you like and any prayer requests.  This swap we all donated $5.00 to help a family adopting a little one.  All this money went to one family to help support their adoption process.  We then received an email about our 'swap box' partner.  I found out about her and her interests to help me put her box together.  Each participant is asked to put about $20 worth of items in their box.  About 4-5 items.  As I put the box together, I prayed for her requests and her family.  I knew on the other end was someone playing for me and my requests.  We had a deadline and off the packages went.  I received a lovely package from a mother of three in Ontario.  We now follow each other on Instagram and have started somewhat of a friendship because of this.

Here is the package I put together for my prayer partner.  She said she had a tea cup collection so I found a vintage gold trim tea cup.  She loves fabric scraps so I included a bundle of fabric pieces from my collection.  She grew her first garden this year so I found some chalk garden markers from Chapters.  I also included a heart felt bunting I made and a to-do pad of paper.  I hope she was blessed by my box put together with thoughtfulness and prayer.

In return received a box full of little goodies .... a framed Bible verse, washi tape, straws, wood matching game for the kids, dark chocolate [one of my favourites], travel coffee cup, handmade hoop art, flower pot + seeds, coffee and homemade bath salts.

If you are interested in doing a "Blessing Box Swap", please let me know.  I would be open to arranging one just because I know how fun and what a blessing it was.  It's great to get a package in the mail designed just for you!
