Springtime Surprise Project

I started this year with a post all about my words of encouragement for my fellow bloggers, parents, readers and friends. I mentioned a little idea and I have been absolutely stunned by how many people want to take part. Almost 200 people have registered to join this cheerful project!

The Springtime Surprise Project is about doing something nice, just because.

Something kind, thoughtful and all for a stranger. It's about celebrating all that is good about the connections we make on the internet.

It's too easy to focus on the negative stories, to see the critical and sometimes all out scandalous unkind stories splashed across social media feeds. So I think we should do something just lovely.

Sign up to be part of this happy project. Everyone who agrees to take part will be matched with a postal partner to send a small gift to. Trinkets, homemade treasures, stationery, baking bits, preloved finds you'd like to pass on.

Anything goes! You need to fill in your details on the Springtime Surprise Website to help your partner learn a little more about you and the guide price for the parcel is £5.

This project is not about money. It's about being generous with your time and effort. And bringing a little Spring cheer into someone's day.

Life is busy. And sometimes it's nice to feel special. 

The project will be open to everyone until the 1st February 2015 after which time you will receive the details of your lovely partner. All parcels need to be sent by the 16th March 2015 so that we can all open them by the Spring Equinox. The first day of Spring this year is the 20th March. 

I can't wait for you to be part of this #springtimesurpriseproject. 

If you have already registered hooray! 

Head over to the Springtime Surprise Website and fill in your details!
