Happy New Year, Friends! 

Help encourage and make it easier for a fellow RAOK friend to continue to share faith, friendship, and cheer by joining in our New Year sticker surprise swap! 

Please sign up by Wednesday, January 11th to participate. All are so very welcome to join in. 

My prayer for this swap is that it allows each of us participating to pare down on our own excess sticker collection while helping a fellow RAOK friend extend happy mail cheer of their own during the year. Please share stickers from what you already have rather than purchase any new ones. No one is expected/should have to do that to join in. On that note, please remember you are only being asked to send to one person. Should you choose to send to more than one person, consider surprising someone who is not participating in this swap instead of someone who already is. More cheer to go around! 

To sign up please list up to 6 types of stickers you could most use such as animals or Valentine’s Day for example. Your preferences will be kept in mind as your partner sorts through their stash.  In other words, you may not get any animal or Valentine stickers but flowers and birthday stickers instead. Each person is asked to share 3 different types of stickers with their partner either in half or full sheets. Individual stickers are fine, with a few included of any one type. Have fun putting together a sticker surprise for your partner and know you will be extending kindness to and through them. 

I will post partners by Thursday morning January 12th. As always please feel free to ask or PM me with any suggestions or questions. Please post both when you have sent and received your stickers. I ask that stickers be sent out by the end of January. Contact me should you wish to join in but would need more time to mail to participate. 

In a couple of weeks I will have been a member of PBS for 10 years. God has blessed me so very much by connecting me to each of you. Thank you with all my heart for your friendships and for taking such loving care throughout the year to make a kind difference to so many. I appreciate each one of you. God Bless You. Hugs and Let the new year sticker swap begin.

Good Morning everyone and Happy Wednesday. Thanks to all who have already signed up. We are currently at 5 participants including myself. 1 Fleur

2 Jeanne 3 Connie 4 Lisa 5 Mona 

I do understand that some of you may need to purchase stickers for your own stash anyway. Since this swap is meant to help all of us pare down our collections while sharing from what we already have, please just check your own stash first, that's all. The intention is not for anyone to need to feel as though they need to be spending new sticker money to join :)

Wishing all of you a wonderful Wednesday!

Welcome to all of you new friends and thank you all for joining! :) We are now up to 8 participants. 1 Fleur 2 Jeanne 3 Connie 4 Lisa 5 Melissa E 6 Melissa B 7 Nikki 8 Me 

Hug, Janet, and good question, thank you for the reminders about this :) I know mail these days is iffy, at least around here for dad and I. I do ask that each of you please post when you have both sent out your stickers and received them. Mailing out your stickers by the end of January is pefectly fine. Should any of you need additional time, please don't let that deter you from joining in just let me know and we can make sure your partner knows that their stickers will be coming :) 

Wishing each of you a great Thursday with joy.

As some of my stickers are 1 inch circles that come on rolls, how many would equal a 'sheet'?   6? 8? More?

Welcome, Ashley! 

Jeanne, good question :) 4 of any type of sticker is fine. How does that sound to everyone? For example send someone 4 indivual, Christmas tree stickers, 4 birthday stickers, and 4 animal stickers.
