Spread the Love



This little project has been started by the lovely Melissa from Oh, My Darling. Basically each day for a week you must do something lovely for someone which is positive and filled with love and gratitude. I think it's a wonderful thing to be a part of.

I might have to start mine this weekend of I can always start today. I have a few ideas that are bouncing around my head right now. Check out Melissa's blog for more ideas and see what she has been doing.  She's such a sweet and positive person and she has inspired me :)

So here are a few of my ideas for Spread the Love...

Send some letters and little packages to some friends (blog and others)
Bake some Jam drop biscuits for Jason and me (I have the ingredients I just haven't done it yet)
Start my little mail project I have been thinking about
Actually post about my giveaway :)
Send out some positive emails
Share happy thoughts each post I do for at least a week (maybe I should turn it into a month)
Make some brownies for my mum and dad for being wonderful
And just for fun - with the first 10 comments I'll send out a little card or post card to you :) With a handwritten message of course.

I hope I can do more than this, but it's a start. I must get back to making mini notecards for my event/stall this weekend!!

Have a fabulous rest of week!!

I am so very happy to read this post of love-filled things you plan to do for others! Thanks so much for joining in on this project -- hearing about the positivity that you're going to bring into the world is exactly what I have been hoping for with spread the love week! I'll be giving you a little shoutout on Wednesday afternoon!

Love your ideas! I want to make brownies and jam drops now - yum!

I have a few ideas floating around in my head for this too. It's such a good idea, who doesn't love to feel loved?

I have been baking lots of cakes for everyone lately, so I think that counts! Anyway it's a lovely idea I will try to do the same- but all the time. A bit hard but I'll work something out. I'm sending cut out positive words from a magazine in an envelope to my boyfriend :)
