100 Things I’m Grateful For (List 1of 100)

This is fantastic, I can't wait!!! I'm glad there's only one partner in this swap, please keep it as one? =)

I'm kinda scared I won't be able to get through the 100!... but I will give it a go before the signup date passes and see how I go :)

I'm in...anything to get me writing!

Cool - I am so excited.

I wondered if people might too scared to try a list of 100

Sounds great. Challenging, but great.

i am in, its so theraputic at times to list things and this is going to be a fun way to focus on just how good we have things. i am looking forward to all the swaps and will do my best to join them all.

i have done my list and i am ready to go!!!!!

OH WOW

That's great!!

My e-mail for those who would like to share their list with me is coetsers AT hbc.ac.za

This sounds like something I could really get into!! Thanks for an awesome swap idea!!!

This sounds awesome! I don't know if I'll be able to be in all 100 of them, as my computer usage can be quite limited sometimes, but I will do my best to be in as many of them as possible!

I did my list this morning.... it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to get through the 100 things... all ready to send when partners are assigned :)

That's great TaraM84

Plan to do mine this weekend

Did my list last night and will send it to hostess. She already knows that I will be going on holidays so must send early and she will forward it to my partner.

Oh WOW - we are in the top 10.

Welcome to those have joined us.

If you have done your list please feel free to e-mail me a copy and or to share how you felt about your experience.

I've only just found this swap and think it's a brilliant idea!!!

I'm a newbie here ~ can I please join in ??

Ali (alifromourpatch)

I just came up with 25 without hardly thinking. I'm going to continue to work on this. Surely there are lots of great things to be grateful for.

Can we include people? I did. I'm up to 65. This is harder than I thought it would be. AND.... It's GREAT!

I did it! I finished. Now I'll send my list to Simone.

alifromourpatch you are most welcome.

No rules on what you should be grateful for !

Thanks Angel Star I got your e-mail. Will read it today when I get back from school.

I am really excited about the this swap.

Oh this is a wonderful idea... it would be really good for me to think about and acknowledge all that I have to be grateful for. =)

i love the idea of 100 things i'm grateful for.. but i'm a bit confused [newbie].. so all we have to do for this swap is make a list of 100 things that we're grateful for, and then mail it to our partner, and that's it?

Wow. This was difficult for me. Anyway. Most of these don't even make sense. I guess ambiguity makes it profound right? Haha.

Anyway. I'm finished and ready to send. =)

yay. i'm not the only one whose list doesnt make sense! haha.

i was quite scared i wouldnt be able to make it to 100 but after doing it, i realised i had more than 100 things to be grateful for. thank for this great swap, Simone!

Yes Usagi - you can write or type out the list and then mail it to your partner.

Sometimes people will check out their partners profile and try to include something light like stickers, beads, paper, tea etc.... just to make the package special. Hopefully that person will like that and give you a heart in your rating.

When I organise the next one - would people prefer to receive their list by e-mail or reading it on blogs?

I have set up a poll there asking the above question

the link doesn't seem to work for me

I like the snail mail idea...and I love these 100 list ideas as well. I was scared to join but decided to go ahead and did my list. Might even sit down again and try to do this again or add another 50-100 to it since I got a little distracted by stuff going on around the house during this one.

I would love to join but slightly confused by the purpose of the 100 items. Is it 100 things I want to achieve? 100 places I want to visit?

I am confused can I have some clarity please e-mail addy is tink27486 at gmail dot com

Been back and read hte blog (properly) and now get it! I am signed up any second!

This one is 100 things you are grateful for...so things you appreciate and/or are thankful for. At least that's my understanding.

nevermind....see that you got it :)

the link to vote doesn't work for me either :(

go to http://simonesbutterfly.synthasite.com/ and click on where it says 100 Lists Swaps

Thanks Tinkergirl - clearing link for me.

Glad you got it Godsrockangel

100 Ways I Could Nurture Myself

Last day to signup/drop: February 15, 2008 Date items must be sent by: February 25, 2008

YAY - I have just learned how to insert links

Here is the link for voting

100 Ways I Could Nurture Myself Swap

What a great idea! I'll be watching for your other swaps.

I voted! Yeah, I went back to the main page and clicked on 100 Lists Swap. I'm also ready with my list. I changed a couple of things on the list I sent to you, Simone. Just a couple. I'm also going to join some of the other "100" swaps. At least some.... :-)

So all we have to do is make a list of 100 things we're grateful for? If so, sounds great!! I only want to do it if it's snail mail though.

So far - snail mail seems to be the choice.

I wonder what the possibilities of the swap may be having 100 participants - I did think that would happen but its so close.

that would be really cool.

Thank you for communicating with me - it makes swapping so much more fun and alive.

I'm in then! 9 more people to go!

I'm in too. I have tons to be grateful for, I just hope I can list 100 of them. I will copy you Simone! What a great idea! Just think of the positive energy we will be adding to the universe with this swap!

Snail mail is my vote as well! I like being able to tuck little treats in my pcakages!

wow!!! only 4 people away from breaking the 100 swappers mark! i just finished my list and it was so much fun.

Hehe it would be cool if there were 100 people doing this ^_^

I just finished my list the other day, it was a lot of fun, and I didn't get stuck very often. =)

My list has everything from being grateful for my nephew and sunrises to strawberries and cartoons. Is that kinda what we were supposed to do?

I am going to start on my list today, I hope I can make it creative!

OH WOW - I have been very busy lately - We actually made 100 unbelievable !!!

I didn't expect this - but its great.

Thank you to everyone for joining - I am looking forward to reading the list or lists I will receive.

Well done to those who are ready - just a few more days and we can start posting!!

I'm in, I already made my list and could have gone on and on. This was a fun reminder of how much we have to be grateful for, little things and big!

I've just completed my list and that's fantastic that over 100 people are in this swap. I think it's great that so many people are thinking about being grateful :)

I love the 100 Things list idea, what a great brainstorming method! I used to write gratitude lists every night -- part of my meditation practice -- and it always felt wonderful. I only usually listed 10 to 20 things though. This will be interesting to see 100.

It would be fun to see everyone's lists after they are all sent. What about having a blog where folks can post their lists if they choose? We could still do the snail mail letter to our partner, but also have a blog recording everyone's 100 Lists. I'd be happy to help out with the tech side if you need - maybe just a free Wordpress blog would work. Simone, e-mail me if you want to discuss. I'm really feeling inspired by this.

Cool - nice idea - I was wondering how to set something like that up.

This is a great swap! I would love to see others' lists-- would be happy to exchange lists with more than just my partner (by e-mail, if possible)... what an upper for the new year! Thanks!

heartsablaze - I am glad to hear that.

By the way I am your partner- how cool is that.

I'm really happy because my partner lives in one of my favorite cities.

DarkPhoenix, watch your mailbox, I dropped an envelope in the mail for you today!

aww i saw the blog, maybe the next one. i wrote out mine on paper and already sent it.

I've already written mine out and is in the envie ready to send, but I'm still going to type mine out and post it! =)

I sent my list to my partner AmberLanae yesterday. I typed mine on the computer, so I can look at it whenever I want. This is great!

A letter/list is en route to my partner. I really enjoyed this exercise.

Well done to those who have posted their list. I was hoping to post mine today but alas...... Definitely tomorrow.

Great~~~ I missed this! and I missed a few recent great swaps! Mad >_<

Close to half the participants have posted their items. Great stuff.

Two more days to get your list in the post.

If you have any problems please communicate with your partner.

Thank you.

Got Missymoms list today and extras - I will post it tomorrow for her

A little book snd a little something is on the way to Mamameo. Enjoy! ^_^

I sent my list and a little somethin' somethin' extra to hallowhimsy today!

Finally got a list out to rottifan4. :] Enjoy.

i posted my list and can't wait to recieve one in the post. wish i had typed it up before i posted it off. may write another one to pop onto the website.

Sent out reminders this evening. Not sure if I did that too soon. I have never hosted such a big swap before :]

My apologies! Mine went out a bit late and then I forgot to come back and click the 'sent' link! Still so new to this... This was a wonderful idea, I love that I have this list to read every time I feel a little down. I'm amazed at how easy it was to think of 100... and that I could have kept going!

That happens

I am quite happy to report that 96% of the participants have now sent the swaps out.

most of the others have plans to get their list out soon.

Some people have gone through so some major stressors in their lives and I am tankful that this swap could help us look on the bright side of life.

Okay I have sent out more messages to the 6 people who not managed to send out their swap.

I am concerned that at 4 of 6 have not logged into swap-bot since the 31 Jan and 14 February. Which could mean that something has happened to them or that they have left.

This means some people will not get rated and some people will not get a list.

I can angel people that have not got swaps but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the rating.
