@Iara, could you explain to me what is a Secret Love Bomb? ^^;
Secret love bombs are essentially like anonymous shouts outs! Although I believe it may be okay to include gifts? Similar to this and this. @Celaeno
Oh! But it's also like Secret Santa. So you do not know who you are given to give a shout out/gift to.
@QuickJazz, thank you for the explanation - I'm a bit wiser now ^^ It looks like a lot of fun, too.
@Celaeno Seem like QuckJazz already explained, but I'm glad you think it sounds fun :) I'd be very happy to see you in the list of participants ^_^
Count me in, @Iara ^^
SECRET LOVE BOMB SIGN UP OPEN NOW! WOOHOO!
also thanks @QuickJazz for the explaination on what a secret love bomb can look like :)
✰ BUMP ✰
Discussion on Appreciation held by @pray4theheartless and me in 10 minutes! Looking forward to see many wonderful faces (...or pictures?) there ❤
I'm so happy about all this even though I woke up too late and missed the discussion D:
Ok, I post some things, send lots of messages, and signed up for the Secret Love Bomb ^^ I'm ready for the next day!
What are good ways to get this out to other sites or into the world?
LOVE IT, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE APPRECIATION TEAM/ COMMITTEE:)
