| The feedback I've received on the last couple of swaps has been in favour of keeping the number of items sent to a minimum. I like the idea of a one item swap, but I know that there are a few of you that will find that difficult. So lets use the same theme as last time - "Your Favourite Things" (Cooking related) but make it optional as to whether you send one, two or a maximum of three items.
The rules are the same as before.
New members are welcome to join in the fun as long as they have been active on the forum for at least three months AND have posted at least 20 times since November 4th, 2007. Most members prefer to send and receive from people that they have come to know. If you don't qualify for this swap, please continue to post so that you can play in the next Swap. 2. You must commit to spending a minimum of $30.00 on your swap box. This is the minimum. There is no maximum. The cost of Shipping is EXTRA. 3. Mail your gift box on or before the "Mailing Date" of Friday , March 14th, 2008. 4. Once the packages have started to arrive please try and participate on some of the follow-up threads. and 5. Remember NO CHEATING!!!!!!!! If you are interested in participating in this swap please post to this thread between now and Sunday, February 10th. |

| Yipeeee! I'm in. I am glad it is flexible up to 3 items. |

| Oh goody...I love flexible! I'm in! I've been considering the 1 item too but it depends on how well I know the person. I hope we go into our Feb thaw or else it will be mail order from me! I hope you are feeling better Ann. Michelle |

| I'm "IN" "IN" "IN" !!!!! Diana55 |
|
| I'll bite. I'm looking for things to keep me busy and shopping for some cooking stuff sounds good. |
|
| Ann, Once again, you have outlined everything nicely for us. I look forward to participating. I hope you are feeling better. Cathy |
|
| Oh yay! I had a great time in the last swap, and I'm in for this one too! Thanks as always, Ann, for putting it all together. DONNA |

| Count me in! And thanks for organizing us, Ann! Teresa |
|
| I'm still smiling from the last swap so of course I'd love to play. I've already got some ideas brewing! Nina |
|
| This is a good time to do a swap since I'm starting to get clear on who everyone is by reading the recent Roll Calls. So, if you'll all have me, I'm in. Ann |
|
| I think I'll play this time too!! Pretty sure the ship by date is after the philly flower show so who knows....maybe a treat from there may find its way to my swapper?? Add me to the list Ann and Thanks-you are a doll!! Cheers! |
|
| oh yes, it's been too long! |

| Can I play? :) |

| I've been waiting for this announcement.. No cheating..at all! I promise.. |
|
| Yay! I admit, if it had been limited to just one item, I would have had to step down but with the built-in flexibility -- I'm in! I'm in! I'm in! |
|
| Of course I'm in. |
|
| Count me in too!!! LOL This was fun when I did the summer one. Linda P |
|
| OKAY, I'll find time between table tennis/ping pong lessons to shop! |
|
| Ann, I will ship anywhere. I'm feeling some deja vu here. |
|
| Forgot to say, I'll ship anywhere as well. |

| I've missed being in the last few swaps, between bed rest and chasing 3 little monsters. Still have the monsters but am ready to swap:) Just hoping this box gets to its home better:) Learned more about shipping lol Stacie |
|
| I'm in. These swaps are addictive! Shipping to me is expensive since the USPS stopped offering surface mail, so I do not mind if the 30$ rule isn't obeyed to the letter. I will ship anywhere. |

|
| Okay, I'll play this time. I did one a long time ago, then things got tight, but now I'm ready to participate again. I'll have to go back and read all about the previous swap to get an idea of what's expected. I'm looking forward to this. Sally |
|
| I am NOT in but have to wonder...How do you cheat??? Have fun swapping! Maureen |
|
| Maureen....cheating is when you find out your partners address...and move in on their spouse. Just kidding!!! LOL No, cheating is when you buy, your Swap partner, more than the three item limit. Like I ever do that :) Diana55 |
|
| so, I guess I'm supposet to say whether or not I'll ship anywhere... Sure, as long as it's limited to planet Earth. Ann |
|
| ANN......YOU KNOW THAT "I WILL" SHIP ANYWHERE TOO !!! DIANA55 |

| I hope to do the next one. I dont think I have posted the requisite number of times. Have fun all, post so we know what kinds of things are good for swap. Sue |
|
| As much as I'd like to join in the fun, I think I am going to pass this one up. Have fun, everyone! Linda |

| i'm debating ann, but will be back before the cut-off date. i love these swaps but stress myself out so bad over them LOL oh, and i would ship anywhere too and will not (consciously) cheat maryanne |
|
Michelle....Don't know who you can tease....but you can always pick a "BONE" with me !!! Diana55 Hey Ann...make Michelle my Swap partner, and I can send her these Salt & Pepper shakers !!! LOL |
|
- Posted by msafirstein (My Page) on Wed, Feb 6, 08 at 23:28
| I can't tease you Diana! You're a TEASER like me!! Besides Kathleen is so much fun to tease, it won't be the same without her or Maryanne.
|
|
| I thought it was getting close to swap time. I'm in! |

| Ann, I won't join in on this one, because I'm fairly new around here and will wait until I know people a bit better. However, I would like to read up on some of the past exchanges so that I can get an idea of how they work and what the results are etc...that way, when I do join in sometime, I won't end up sending someone something completely inappropriate or making some other kind of "fox paw". However, I cannot find an "exchange" thread? Can you direct me? Thanks, rachelellen |
|
- Posted by rachelellen (My Page) on Thu, Feb 7, 08 at 10:53
| OMG, never mind, I found them...right under this topic. Jeepers, sometimes I just want to pinch myself! |
|
| Hem...haw....hem...haw I can't even decide if I am going to play...how the HECK am I going to decide what to send? LOL I'll check back before Sunday, but I'm probably in. |
|
| Lori, I jumped back in the lake so you can too. I'm going to send some old Slim Whitman 45's and a box of shake and bake. So where are the two Sharons and Ellen, come on girls if I can do it you can!! |
|
| Lori, Yes! Jump in. James, Glad you're here. Would that be Slim Whitman yodeling? If so, I'm so glad I signed up. Pick me! Pick me! (just kidding... sort of) Ann |
|
| LOVE YOUR NAME " RACHELELLEN " How nice is that. My daughter is "RACHELLE" I've never seen that name before but I love it !!! Diana55 |
|
| Okay, I'm in too....just don't make me play ping pong with Gina...it's been 20 years plus for me and that move/shot is scaring me..lol! Oh, and no bones from Diana! David |
|
| Oh good, the skeletons have made an appearance! Can I be partners with Diana55 again? I promise to pretend it's the first time. I could use some more bones. Amber keeps burying them in the yard (I can only imagine a forensics team digging up that punch bowl set). Or actually Annie's fence jumping steer might be a useful addition to the household. I have a neighbor that spends most of the day (and night) sitting in his car, facing our house. Might as well give him somthing to look at other than me strolling by the window in my hot pink bathrobe. Rachelellen- I hope that you decide to play. I was apprehensive for the last swap because I didn't feel like I was a familiar enough presence on the forum. But since the theme is cooking related favorites (your favorites) it's really about how well you know yourself ;-). Unfortunately after the last swap I ended up with a lot more favorites! Meanwhile, Amber is waiting for the bones to arrive... |
|
| David, we can play other games... Odo would like a bone too, while y'all are gathering bones! |
|
| I'm away doing respite this week & haven't been checking in much-- darn glad I checked tonight-- I'm in . And thx Ann for running another one. |
|
| I would love to if you will have me! -maria |
|
- Posted by blueiris24 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 8, 08 at 21:48
| I'm also still hemming and hawing - will get back to you by Sunday, thanks Ann |
|
| Maria, of course we will have you. You are a regular. Okay, here is the list of participants (so far). If I've missed anyone let me know. I've tacked Blueiris, Lori and Cooperbailey on as possible participants. Cooperbailey, I did a quick look and you have been posting for quite a while now and have more than enough posts to qualify. So if you are interested please send me your full name and address along with phone number. If anyone has moved please make sure I have your new address and phone number.
And possibly Lori316

|
| Oh my .....don't keep those sweet puppies waiting.....give them a treat right now.......and as for David...I'm sending you chicken bones!!! LOL Diana55 |

| I am so excited, we got a new tv set and I think if I poke enough holes in the box, I just might get to fit a monster or two in it with a little food nd water. Will have to to pay extra for priority..... But I did get a third of my swap box stuff bought tonight and figured out the second part, plus a monster equals 3.... Stacie Who is just kidding about sending one of the girls, but that depends on the day. |
|
| I'm in, please! |
|
| Wow this is turning into one heck of a swap!! Looks like I came out of swap retirement at just the right time. Lori Oh Please come out to play!!! I promise no bones or small children!! Cheers! PS...Ann, what was the biggest swap so far?? How many played?? |
|
| Great Lori. I was hoping that you would decide to play. Susie, I think it was the fall 2006 swap. We had 61 participants in that one. I don't think that you played that time. We have had numbers in the high 40's and low 50's a few times too. Ann |
|
- Posted by deborah_ps (My Page) on Sat, Feb 9, 08 at 10:47
| Yahoo! I'm listed!! I'm extra excited about being able to participate in my first ever swap. Too bad I can't bottle sunshine, you'd all get some today :):) |
|
| Sign me up! It's a good excuse to go shopping! Nancy |
|
| Updated list. I think that the only full name and address I don't have is Barb's (livvyandbella). If anyone has moved since they last participated please make sure you email me your new address and phone number. |
|
- Posted by msafirstein (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 08 at 10:22
| Lots of new people this time!!! Maryanne is still considering joining in too. Michelle |
|
| Come on Maryanne....The more the merrier !!! |
|
- Posted by blueiris24 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 08 at 16:03
| I better pass this time - next time I'll jump back in - have fun! |
|
| Sorry, you aren't playing this time around Blueiris. Times up. Ann |
|
- Posted by msafirstein (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 08 at 23:54
| When I spoke to Maryanne earlier today, she said she just has too many things going on right now and thought it better to sit this swap out. Michelle |
|
| I'll be watching from the sidelines too! I wish I could join in the fun, but I never feel like I have enough time for all the regular stuff, plus I just don't have the shopping bug right now. So everyone have fun and don't cheat! ;-P |

| I'll be lurking this time around. I was participating in a couple of seed swaps to get my garden up and running and missed the deadline here! |
