Divine chocolate swap

Do you remember the chocolate swap from November?
This was real fun!

I got my package from Kathy (USA) and she did such a great job.
She refers to the two sides of winter, hence two different chocolate bars.



And of course two different artworks:

And she is so right, we have to accept both sides of winter, the dark and bitter and the light and sweet. And with such a nice swap and generosity, winter makes much more sense to me.
Thanks, Kathy!

How was your swap going? Please let me know!

"Spread the love"- a round robin

Welcome to my new project called „Spread the love“.

2012 will be a very special year. The old ways of learning through fear and disconnection will vanish now and the new ways of learning through love and connection will come in more and more.
Love is the key word to everything in our future. It heals, it embraces the dark, it nourishes the soul, it inspires and re-arranges, it gives you hope, it restores things, it makes you feel at home.

This little booklet is an artful project to spread love and make a sign for the new year 2012.
Inside you can sign in and write the word love in your finest hand and in an artful way. You can also write down some wishes, doodle, introduce yourself, leave traces, tell us something, whatever.


Then you take from others as much love as you want. Keep one for you and give the others to friends, family and even strangers. Put it behind a car’s wiper, drop it into a postbox, hand it over, leave it at a café, ad it to a letter, do what ever you like.

You can sign up now, the beginning is on January, 1st 2012.
There is only room for 15 “lovers”, if there will be more players, I will choose by random who will be in.
Please sign in with an e-mail to lawendula@googlemail.com and please ad your mailing address.

Thanks for being a part of this!

Love, LaWendula

Quick Swap: Autumn blues? Send a chocolate bar!

Maybe you have had a golden October, like we had, maybe you already have got chilly nights? Maybe it’s grey, rainy, stormy? Maybe you miss the light?

What ever mood you are in, cheer up with a chocolate bar coming from the other side of the world or just around the neighbourhood and make someone happy by sending one!

How does it work?

1. Sign up via e-mail! Due date is November, 15 2011
Write to lawendula@googlemail.com

2. Buy a chocolate bar (please prefer organic and/or fair trade if possible) and write down a nice, cheerful quote, line, poem or what ever to cheer up your swap partner. Wrap it in a nice piece of paper or turn it into a little work of art. Make it playful, do what you want. Follow your gut feeling, there are no wrongs.

3. On Nov., 15 you will get an e-mail with the pairing list. Write to your swap partner, exchange mailing adresses and mail your chocolate bar to her/him.

4. Receive, enjoy, cheer up!



Hugs,

LaWendula
