Description:

My friend Candee just lost her leg!!! Random Acts of Kindness needed in the form of a postcard! She lives in WA state.

She is currently healing but could use some humor, hope and love! She is a very active person and this is a big loss! I would be freaking out!! There are many life changes on the horizon for her, starting with rehab and trying to figure out what to do next. :(

She is an amazing person. She is one of those people that just burns bright and warm all of the time, always putting herself out there for others!

I would really love it if as many people as possible could send her a fun postcard or a little something. It should be humorous and hope filled!

I will set the swap for "send 2 postcards", one to Candee and one to your partner but if you feel inclined to send surprises, cards or other fun stuff to Candee please do!

I'm not going to put many restrictions on this one in the hopes that folks will just drop a bunch of fun postcards in the mail and Candee will be inundated with humor, fun, beauty and well wishes!

About Candee:

She is an active leader in the Unitarian Church.

She works and builds community with children, folks with disabilities and in general everyone she encounters.

She makes cool stuff out of old game boards and children's book covers. She is very crafty!

She loves Kitties!!

She loves holidays, hosting parties and decorating. Halloween parties with her are a blast!

She likes red and white vintage kitchen decor, Vintage menus, advertisements etc

She loves old and vintage stuff.

Humor! She has an amazing sense of humor!! (The pic I used for this swap is what she is currently using as her profile picture. She is such a trooper.)

She loves beautiful, interesting, old and sexy things.

She loves singing and karaoke (and she's good at it! ;))

She loves to dance!

She is always involved with helping kids.

She is an educator and a leader.

She has dedicated her life to helping others.

She loves nature.

She loves music.

She loves games and being social.


THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WILL DO THIS!! <3

  1. When you sign up for the swap I will email you my address. Once I have several surprises I will put them together in the form of a happy care package and take them to Candee.

  2. Send a postcard or whatever strikes your fancy for Candee! Something fun with well wishes! It can be any postcard really-store bought, art card, state, country, handmade, cool vintage ad or band card...as long as it will bring some cheer!

  3. In case you need/want ratings and/or postcards ;) --- Send your partner a postcard (Any Postcard!) with a little note telling them what you sent to Candee, a statement to your partner about how wonderful they are, the name of this swap and your swap-bot name.

Don't worry about getting flaked on for this one! If your partner doesn't send you a postcard I will! If your partner sends you something besides a postcard and you still really want a postcard let me know and I will send you one!!

Thank You!! :) <3

Hi @ all :)

I just wanted to say, that thats my first swap ever and i have seen that you all come from the U.S. and i am from Germany. So i just want to leave a note that my postcard will need a bit more time to arrive. I hope that this is okay. :) Greetings from Bavaria

Small world!! I know Candee too!

@LisaLuEulalie It doesn't surprise me...she is one of those people! :)

Don't tell her about the swap I want it to be a surprise!! Hopefully she doesn't kill me! ;)

I'll keep it a surprise. I think she'll love it!!

Hi, I'm from Sri Lanka, I thought of joining this and it will be my first ever swap, is it compulsory for it to be a post card? or can I send 2 cards, one for Candee and one for my partner?

ShannonArtsyFartsy 11/15/2013 #

I think it is fine to send a card!! If the partner you get really wants a postcard (some folks really like collecting PCs and it is a primary reason they are on swap-bot) let me know and I will send one along to them in addition to your card!! :)

Thank You for replying soon, I'm sorry I'm new to this, can you please let me know what "Date items must be sent by:" means? does it mean that I have to post the cards by that date?

ShannonArtsyFartsy 11/16/2013 #

Big thank you to everyone who signed up!!! I will assign partners tomorrow! I think I managed to touch base with everyone to let you know that I will give my address instead of Candee's at deliver it all in bundles! This is to make sure she gets it despite ever-changing circumstances. You will of course send your partner a postcard as well! Thanks All! :)♥♥

Thank you so much!! Candee received treats from all 14 of you plus 8 other folks that didn't do the swap but sent stuff.

I got two texts from her! The first one said "WOW just WOW!" The second one said "These people are amazing!".

Much love to all of you! Thank you for all of your sweetness! <3
