Description:

This is my first time hosting a swap. Hopefully my idea will be well received.

For this swap you will have one partner. All you need to do is complete one random act of kindness, write it on the back of a postcard and send it off to your partner. The postcard can be store-bought or homemade, related to your act or random, anything will do.

If you need help coming up with an act of kindness, here are a few ideas: Big tip to the barista at your morning coffee stop, Pay the toll of the person behind you, Write a thank you to a teacher or someone who influenced you, Take a treat to your neighbor, Pick up a bag of groceries for the local food bank, Volunteer your time at a non-profit or school

Once you have completed your act, just write "Because of you I...(fill in what you did)" on the back of a postcard and pop it in the mail.

Just found out this is a RAK swap... :)

Can we mail the postcard in an envelope?

maybe the person should take a pic of them doing it so they know it actually got done?

I don't see a problem with sticking it in an envie and you could throw in a picture if you want to but I don't want to make it a requirement since some acts may be hard to photograph or some people may not want to send out a pic of themselves. I guess we will just have to trust each other :).

I love this idea! Lately I've been thinking something similar that I plan to host when I have more time, energy, and focus. Right now I have way too much on my plate to host another.

I don't do PC swaps, but this is a great idea. Good job @kkay118 for coming up with the idea.

Acts of Random Kindness. as in -- ''today I'm going to (ful)fill an ARK" :) noah - nice optional act of happiness ? lol
