Celebrating Friendship!International Friendship Day is July 30. The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities. For this swap, we'll celebrate by sending a friendship bracelet and a written notecard. About the braceletThe bracelet can be handmade or store-bought. It can be made of embroidery thread, cotton, leather, or other string. Quality-wise, it should be on par with something you'd be proud to give your best friend. To the level where you yourself would wear it, and it'd last awhile if you wore it everyday, like you did back at summer camp! It will probably help to read your partner's profile to get a sense of their style (or at least what colors they like). Some people may prefer a wild, colorful bracelet like this, while others may prefer something more understated, such as this. If you've got a strong reaction to something or preference for something (as in, "I'm vegan, no leather" or "I'm allergic to nickel" or "my wrists are really small") you may want to put that in the comment box below for your future partner. I found the image in an article about how DIY bracelets are a good form of meditation. Maybe there are added feel-good benefits to making a bracelet - who knows?! ;) About the cardThe card itself is sender's choice, but a personalized message is expected. Write like a friend would! For this swap, you don't have to dig too deep or go TMI on the notecard, but sharing something of yourself with your partner would be nice. Definitely include more than just the swap name - but don't forget to include that too! The Swap Specs
