Happy Valentine’s Day, swap friends! I hope you have a lovely Saturday.

– Remember, you have one week left to enter for the February Giveaway for the Doodlebug scrapbook supplies . The winner will be randomly chosen on Saturday, February 21st.

– For those of you in the US Pacific Northwest, plans for the Swap-bot Member Appreciation Event are coming along nicely. The event will be held on Sunday, March 1st, from 12 – 3 pm at the Lamb Cottage in Skinner’s Butter Park (<a href=http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en-us&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=155+High+St+Eugene+OR&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&cid=0,0,7849176457938046652&ei=1teVSZSjEIKOsQP75ZGjBw&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image”>101 Cheshire Ave, Eugene, OR 97401</a>). All area Swap-bot members are invited. The event promises to be a lot of fun. Snacks and drinks will be provided – including cupcakes! There will be a few activities, including an ATC trade, but also plenty of time for socializing and chatting. Plus, we will be giving away lots of amazing door prizes! I am looking forward to it!
