My 3 fave foods...

Krispy Kreme Donuts :rotfl: :cloud9:
Shadow Cake
Bacon Cheese Fries

Man..and I wonder why I battle my weight so much... :rolleyes:

What would I never try??
That would be between spinich, collards and escargot. :crazy:

That is a cute new picture Amanda, and the bacon cheese fries sound yummy. Is it fries with melted cheese and bacon bits on them?

Favorites-
Shrimp tempura
SPICY mogolian beef
Sushi

I would not try anything like-tripe or other animal intestine like things. :crazy2:

[snowwhitesmom]

Who hosts the Easter Basket Exchange?

Sounds like a wide variety of favorite foods.
Oh, I also like dobash cake ;) yum. That makes four for me :).

The stocking exchange is a stuffed one. You would get a Christmas themed stocking for your pal-plain, decorated one, or handmade, .... and you will fill it with items that your pal likes. So little this and thats.
But for the Christmas present one, it is one or two bigger presents wrapped up in Christmas wrapping paper or presented in a fun gift giving way.

[kbmoo]

Favorite foods-

Anything Chocolate
Anything Ethnic
When I'm sick- Tapioca pudding is my comfort food
Let's just face it- I love food
I am so excited that I am going back for the free dining at disney next week!


Things I don't like- Head cheese or I don't really like liver.

[mommytotwo]

We did have plans, but it seems like we will be staying at home instead.

[Meriweather]

Sorry the plans changed, Patsy.
I think we are cleaning the garage one day ....oh fun.
And our usual movie and lunch out the other.....not very exciting.

[mommytotwo]

You could babysit for me Nancy :rotfl: .
I would love to have one day to myself even if it is to clean. That is a break in itself-sad huh :rotfl2: .

[mommytotwo]

I had posted on the two exchanges that I may need elves on.
I am not sure yet if elf packages will need to go out or not till maybe around Saturday, but it is for the jam/jelly exchange and for the Kids Activity Exchange.
If you are able to help, could you please pm me.

[Meriweather]

If I was closer ;) I would love to babysit ::yes::

[mommytotwo]

If someone where to send you something of your choice in an exchange, what would you like right now?

[TheDisneyBunch]

Thanks for the comments on my new pic guys. :cloud9:


Todays answer..

Right this moment I would have to say some disney pins..lol I just went through ours today and was letting Ethan pick what he wanted to keep and trade and after him going through them and us going through them it only leaves us 6 pins to trade on when we go to Disney next Saturday so I am so bummed over that b/c I know we will have those traded away in no time and the rest of the trip I will be dying to do more trades. It is so addicting. ;) So yeah, pins would be my choice.

Then after that a close second would be some pretty fall decorations or fall scented yankee candles. :rotfl: Yes I love my yc's!

AND THEN...after that it would be the new bath and body works scents Sensual Amber and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin! YUMMYY! Have you guys smelled these? I was just in the store a couple days ago and smelled them and oh my how good they smell! Also they have little sample size bottles out of 3 in one shampoo, body wash and bubble bath in 3 fall scents that smell just wonderful!

Goodness this is making me want to go shopping. :rotfl:

[Meriweather]

If someone where to send you something of your choice in an exchange, what would you like right now?

You know, I am so bad :rolleyes: I buy about everything I want.
So, I am always ready for a surprise!!

[Gymbomom]

What is everyone doing today?

[pilikia97]

Want to switch residences with us? We got our first major snowfall of the season last night in the mountains, and snow is projected to fall here in town tomorrow or Sunday! :crazy2:

As for what I am doing today, I am turning in more work applications. I accepted one position, have worked there a week, and know without a doubt that I absolutely hate the company and it is not the place for me :sad2: .
Anybody else have something to report? :)

Hurry and find a job,...and join us again in the exchanges. :teeth:

[mommytotwo]

What do you like to do when you have some free time for yourself with no kids and no plans?

[kaylajr]

What do you like to do when you have some free time for yourself with no kids and no plans?
Why DIS of course :)

[Meriweather]

What do you like to do when you have some free time for yourself with no kids and no plans?

Read, watch movies, bake and play on the computer :)

[kbmoo]

What do you like to do when you have some free time for yourself with no kids and no plans?

Go shopping or have a movie marathon, or bake or cook something new.

I'm going to have a busy day, so I may not have time to get back on the DIS much. Everyone have a great week and I will check backl in on Oct 1 when I am back from Disney!

[mommytotwo]

Have a fun trip Kathy.
I like to garden or be on the computer when I have time for myself.

[Gymbomom]

What do you like to do when you have some free time for yourself with no kids and no plans?

DIS, Pogo.com, watch movies!!

[Gymbomom]

:sunny: What colors and theme is your kitchen decorated in?

[DISNEYFANRI]

My kitchen is blue- I don't really have a "theme" but I do have some folk art items and I have a large collegtion of Cat's Meow Village pieces that are displayed throughout my house - so the restaurant and bakery buildings are in my kitchen.

[mommytotwo]

My kitchen is white, but with no particular theme or such.

[kaylajr]

My kitchen is mostly WHite and green
and it like my whole house is themed in early american clutter ;) :teeth:

[Gymbomom]

I have white counter tops, a decision I truly regret, but I couldn't make up my mind, and the builder had to know. But, I do love my cat walk shelves, and my border. I did green ivy on them. I accented with wine bottles filled with colored water. Kent and I met at the Olive Garden so I used the old round Principato 1L bottles with the decorated corks.

[mickeyfan2]

The cabinets are oak, the island counter is dark blue marbled tiles, the other counters are almond and the floor is almond with dark blue tiles. There are many Disney itelms on the cabinet tops, but no actual theme.

[mommytotwo]

Just wanted to let you exchangers know that the date for the Christmas Stocking Exchange has changed to Oct. 21st.
Hopefully this will be easier in sorting out exchanges since the present exchange will start on Nov.1st.

Also, this way, you can be on the lookout for stockings. Or if you want to start now, it will be the same as last year. You can buy a decorated or simple stocking-regular sized, no minis. Or, you can make one if you wish.

[Meriweather]

My kitchen is a pinkish/coral....think light terra cotta.
Oak cabinets.....tile counters at the moment but we are in the process of estimating for quatz ones.
Fruit decorations.

[snowwhitesmom]

Patsy, does that mean that sign ups start on October 21st?

[mommytotwo]

Patsy, does that mean that sign ups start on October 21st?



::yes:: Sign ups for the Christmas Stocking Exchange will start then.

[snowwhitesmom]

Sign ups for the Christmas Stocking Exchange will start then.

yippee!!!!!!!

[pilikia97]

My kitchen is done in a bear theme (you know, those Big Sky Bears from Montana?). Multi shades of brown in our ceasar stone counter tops, black appliances, walls are currently white but I plan to paint them soon. Our nearly floor to ceiling windows look out on the Rockies and Pikes Peak, thus the theme.

:thumbsup2

If you were invited to someone's house for a meal, what three main dish entrees would you wish they would NOT serve to you?

[kaylajr]

If you were invited to someone's house for a meal, what three main dish entrees would you wish they would NOT serve to you?
anything seafood :scared:
liver
or anything really hot and spicy

[Pooh67_68]

Not sure, as I'll try anything once.

BTW Kayla, liver is delicious.

not the way I tried it :scared:
but maybe it was the way they cooked it

I will give anything a second chance

well except raw fish
that didn't even get a first chance :rolleyes:

[Pooh67_68]

Ohhh sushi (raw fish) is good too. :teeth: I tried it for the first time the end of Aug. at a bridal shower.

I like my liver dredged in flour and fried in butter with onions. Must fry on medium low, until just done or it will get tough.

[Gymbomom]

anything seafood :scared:
liver
or anything really hot and spicy


I totally agree with this!!! YUCK!!!!!!

[Meriweather]

1. sushi (or any fish)
2. organ meats of any kind
3. exotic animal meat

[Pooh67_68]

Have to say, I like hot and spicy too.

Nancy, will admit that I didn't try the buffalo burger or the ostrich at Knoebel's that one year.


3. exotic animal meat

[Meriweather]

I like hot and spicy too.

We have had buffalo (I did try that), it was too strong for my taste (sold in the grocery store now...so guess it isn't "exotic" :rotfl: ).
I haven't tried ostrich, but that I am willing. Some of our resturants have that.
I don't like deer though....too strong. No horse ;) No kangaroo....there is a burger place that advertises it :eek:

[thewishfire]

I haven't tried ostrich, but that I am willing. Some of our resturants have that.


I guess I'll be butting into this conversation! :rotfl:

I haven't tried many exotic meats, but I must say that I LOVE ostrich! Haven't had it in years though... maybe I'll have to run up to a 'farm' up the street that sells it soon!

[MickeyMamma]

Ostrich? Now there is a food that I wouldn't have even thought of, LOL!

For me, how about never wanting to be served
sweet and sour organ meats or
brussel sprouts and lima beans or
scrapple - it is just NOT for me

[Pooh67_68]

I love lima beans.

Scrapple, there you have found a food I won't eat. I also won't eat cow tongue, pigs feet, chicken feet or souse.
And lets not forget the blood pudding. ewwwwwwwwww


scrapple

[kaylajr]

I don't like deer though....too strong.


I really like Deer AKA Venison but it all depends not only on how you cook it but how it is cleaned before freezing

It can be strong and gamey tasting
or it can be really good :)



I also like Lima beans
but Blood pudding EEWWW

[mommytotwo]

If you were invited to someone's house for a meal, what three main dish entrees would you wish they would NOT serve to you?


Meatloaf
Organ meat
Lamb

There are a bunch more since I am a picky eatter, but I love hot and spicy foods, sashimi, sushi, and seafood-fish, shrimp, and scallops.

[Pooh67_68]

May I impose on all exchangers, to visit my thread and vote on the poll. Thank you.

www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1234636

[pilikia97]

I also won't eat cow tongue

Uggh, my maternal grandmother used to fix that all the time! Thankfully we only ever visited like every 5 years or so when I was a kid because she lived so far away from us, but I just could not eat that stuff! She also used to fix the cow brains scrambled up with eggs for my grandpa :crazy2: but that was long before I was ever born...

[mommytotwo]

What was your favorite costume as a child, when you dressed up for Halloween??

[Meriweather]

I think no one wants to pick just one person to meet ;)
I want to meet Patsy :) And Kirby :) All my long time exchange pals :) We've had such fun over the years.
I have met Dania :)

Costumes.....hobo or witch....easy. I didn't like the packaged costumes and we didn't have all the neat ones that are around today

[mickeyfan2]

In 1st grade I had a great Casper the Friendly Ghost costume.

[Gymbomom]

I was a flower one year. My mother spent a huge amount of time making it. The petals surrounded my face, made out of wire hangers with fabric over it. I had a felt pollen, yellow covering for my hair, green tights, leotard, and felt leaf green skirt. I pulled it out of the cedar closet for Sam to wear this year for Halloween. She was so excited, and was all smiles, but she showed it to her friends and they laughed and laughed, so :( she said she doesn't want to be it now.

But I agree, we always made our costumes, we never bought them. :)

[thewishfire]

I was a flower one year.

So was I!!! I will always remember that costume... green stem, white petals.

[Meriweather]

I made all my kids's costumes when they were growing up. Took loads of time, but they sure were cute.
And last year, I made my DD's. It came out GREAT!! But was a PITA and cost a small fortune. She has to wear it for many years :rotfl:
It is a gypsy...I know I have a picture....some where ;)

found it.
It has skirt, overskirt, wrap, blouse, vest and head thingee...and I added the bag for her candy ;) :rolleyes: hard to work with material too, especailly with my old, worn out machine.

Awww, thank you Nancy.
There are a bunch of people that I would like to meet, especially certain exchangers that I have gotten to know better through the exchanges and pms.

I didn't like dressing up for Halloween. I remember one year I was Rainbow Brite. I had like the smock thing on with a Rainbow Brite mask.

[Pooh67_68]

Dan Murphy, Kayla, Nancy, Patsy

If you could meet only one fellow DISer, who would it be and why?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Meriweather - That looks awesome!! She could always change out the scarf or add a wig and lots of bangles to make it different every year, because if I made something that looked that great, my child would be wearing it until it was way too small. ;)

[Pooh67_68]

Mom always bought the one we wanted, but I don't remember any that I wore. Actually I hated trick or treating and I quit going fairly young.

What was your favorite costume as a child, when you dressed up for Halloween??

[mommytotwo]

Dan Murphy, Kayla, Nancy, Patsy


Thank you Heidi, I would want to meet you as well.
I would also like to meet the famous Dan Murphy. He sounds like a fun guy to hang around with.


Seems like we have more DISers on this thread today so here is another QOTD-


Saturday-QOTD-Part 3
It's a Christmas question since there is only 20 days till the stocking exchange sign up :banana: -counting down :rotfl: .
If you were to pick three things to be in your stocking for Christmas, what would they be? Sorry no house, car, money...... gift cards are okay :lmao: .

And anyone, feel free to post more QOTD.

[Meriweather]

Meriweather - That looks awesome!! She could always change out the scarf or add a wig and lots of bangles to make it different every year, because if I made something that looked that great, my child would be wearing it until it was way too small. ;)

Well, hopefully it will never be too small ;) But she is pretty skinny. She loves it, so it should be good for YEARS!! And she does still go trick or treating :rolleyes:

Aww...Heidi. I would like to meet you too ::yes::
I have met Dan Murphy....twice :teeth: Very nice man.
I have actually traveled to a meet just to meet certain people :)

[Meriweather]

Gift cards are good.
Hmmm....chocolate, DVDs and jewelry (sapphires are good ::yes:: ).

[mickeyfan2]

I would like to meet all of you.

Candy is always good to get in a stocking. Especially reese's peanut butter trees.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I couldn't pick just one person to meet, so I didn't answer that one.
My costumes are better now than when I was kid. I love going to our local Renfest, so all my costumes are Piratey, Wenchy (no cleavage though) outfits.

I would love to find in my stocking, scrapbooking items, CD's and Gift cards.

[mommytotwo]

In my stocking, I would like-

*Gift cards-we don't have that many places to choose from here, but if the stores are online, or if they are of stores that I can go to while in Vegas :cool1: .

*Disney pins-we collect them, and my daughter and I like adding them onto our landyard.

*Garden flags-I collect these as well, and like decorating my mini and regular size flag holders with these.

[Gymbomom]

Well, hopefully it will never be too small ;) But she is pretty skinny. She loves it, so it should be good for YEARS!! And she does still go trick or treating :rolleyes:

You can come visit though :teeth:

[Pooh67_68]

Deal.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Where did you get Johnny? Was he expensive?

[Meriweather]

Where did you get Johnny? Was he expensive?

Hehehe....you want him too?? ;)
I got him at a local craft store....DH actually spied him for me. (they had Will Turner too).
He cost the same as all those full size cut-outs....$30....but I had a 40% off coupons :bounce: So I see him all the time when I am on the computer....which is a lot.

[mommytotwo]

Good morning everyone :sunny: .

Here is the QOTD-
What type of Halloween and Fall decorations do you have around your house?

[kaylajr]

If you could meet only one fellow DISer, who would it be and why?
not a fair question ;)

too many to narrow it down to just one

[kaylajr]

What was your favorite costume as a child, when you dressed up for Halloween??
i was a princess for about 5 years in a row
I had a red cape and a crown and white gloves

and I was a princess BEFORE I fell in love with Disney :)

[kaylajr]

Saturday-QOTD-Part 3
It's a Christmas question since there is only 20 days till the stocking exchange sign up :banana: -counting down :rotfl: .
If you were to pick three things to be in your stocking for Christmas, what would they be? Sorry no house, car, money...... gift cards are okay :lmao: .

And anyone, feel free to post more QOTD.


GIft cards are wonderful
how about a winning lottery tickey that is the same size as a gift card and if the payout was big enough than I could meet some of the DISERS on my list ;)

[kaylajr]

Good morning everyone :sunny: .

Here is the QOTD-
What type of Halloween and Fall decorations do you have around your house?
umm none Yet
i am a little slow around here this year

Unless you count the brightly colored leaves that my trees were nice enough
to scatter around the yard and deck :rotfl:

[Gymbomom]

Good morning everyone :sunny: .

Here is the QOTD-
What type of Halloween and Fall decorations do you have around your house?

The only thing I have up right now is my Yankee candle Pumpkin Tart Warmer.
And, the Pumpkin on the door step that Trey and I decorated. We used those new things from Potato Head. It is so cute. We used the Frankenstein Kit.
Otherwise I need to make a trip to the attic to get everything else.

None......too early for my TG ones and I am not putting up Halloween ones this year because we won't be here :woohoo: :mickeyjum

Well, I take that back, I do have my Halloween tart burner out, my pumpkin candle shade and a leaf tea light holder :teeth:

[Pooh67_68]

Good morning. :goodvibes

Skeleton's, a Witch that flew into a tree, a plastic Pumpkin , a Pumpkin treat bag, and a little orange treat bowl with black cats, pumpkins and ghost on it. I also have a large Pumpkin leaf bag, but its not full yet.

Good morning everyone :sunny: .

Here is the QOTD-
What type of Halloween and Fall decorations do you have around your house?

[mickeyfan2]

We have all the inside decorated - Halloween tree, light up pumpkins, pumkin electric candles, halloween stuffed animals, Casper with his flame candles. Outside the light up pumpkins are out but not yet plugged in. The other lights are still in the garage. We were planning on completing the outside, but the rain got in our way.

[mommytotwo]

I have my Halloween Yankee Candle accessories on our medicine cabinet along with a scarecrow. And outside I have my light up pumpkin and various signs, wreathes....

[mommytotwo]

If you could go on a shopping spree at 1 store, and then go out to lunch at a restaurant following that...where would you go to?

[kandeebunny]

If you could go on a shopping spree at 1 store, and then go out to lunch at a restaurant following that...where would you go to?

Macy's! They sell everything. Then lunch at the Outback Steakhouse!

[Gymbomom]

If you could go on a shopping spree at 1 store, and then go out to lunch at a restaurant following that...where would you go to?


Gymboree for my kids and the Maggiano's for lunch!! :cool1:

[MickeyMamma]

Oooh, Lots to catch up on....

Favorite Costume.... When I was about 6 my Mom made me a pumpkin costume. This was waaaaay before you really saw them in the stores anywhere. Back then, I was considered to have a pretty unique costume.

Fall Decorations..... Don't really have them up yet. A few window clings on the front windows and alot of apples around the house from apple picking. A few things that DS has made at school are up too

What to find in my stocking? ....
1) Tinkerbell things - very into her now, LOL,
2) sure, Gift Cards are always good (going with the crowd),
3) hmmmmm, maybe something fun to do with the kids

Meriwether ---- LOL about your Johnny!! That is too funny! :rotfl:

[MickeyMamma]

If you could go on a shopping spree at 1 store, and then go out to lunch at a restaurant following that...where would you go to?


Oooh fun one!!

Gotta be Syms! I love shopping there and I can get something for everybody there. Then lunch at Legal Seafood!!! Mmmmmm!

[Meriweather]

I'm weird...I want my shopping spree at COSTCO!! I love that store.
Lunch at Claim Jumper's....dessert :faint:

[AlexWyattMommy]

You're not weird. I'd pick Sam's Club for my shopping spree. Than I had have to go Chili's for lunch. I just love their chips with the Artichoke dip.

[Pooh67_68]

I think I would want my shopping spree to be in Disney. :teeth: And than lunch at Cosmic Ray's or Planet Hollywood.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Ooo, Ooo, I want go with Pooh67_68!! Can I change my mind?

[mickeyfan2]

I'll join Pooh67_68 too. Shopping at WDW (sneaking in some rides) and then dinner in the MK.

[Pooh67_68]

Look it there, a mini meet in the making. :thumbsup2

[mommytotwo]

I would pick Target since people say so many good things about, we don't have it here, and I can also get a bunch of holiday decorations there. And lunch would be at-The Rainforest Cafe. I think my daughter will enjoy it more this time around since she is older. The last time we had gone there, she had gotten scared by the thunder and lightening.

[mommytotwo]

If you were to be on a reality t.v. show, which would it be for?

[Pooh67_68]

None of them.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I agree, I don't watch much reality TV, except the Project Runway and I can't sew so I'd never be on that.

Ask me about SciFi and I am all over Doctor Who! :sunny:

[ADisneygirl]

Well, I really love Project Runway, so I guess I'd pick to be on that one. I wish I could design clothes like some of them can. I would probably be voted off early!

[Meriweather]

Hmmm....I only watch a couple. I don't think I would do well on any :rotfl:
But if I have to pick one that I could actually do, I guess Wife Swap :teeth:

[Pooh67_68]

:eek:


But if I have to pick one that I could actually do, I guess Wife Swap :teeth:

[Gymbomom]

If you were to be on a reality t.v. show, which would it be for?

For sure Amazing Race with my sister. I would love to do that!!! :cool1:

[kandeebunny]

Real World please lol or the Bachelor (rome!!!)

[mickeyfan2]

But if I have to pick one that I could actually do, I guess Wife Swap :teeth:
We could swap. But I think that would be a boring show!!!! We are not militant enough about anything, well maybe Disney, but we both agree there. :thumbsup2

[mommytotwo]

Real World please lol or the Bachelor (rome!!!)


I had watched The Bachelor-Rome episode last night and I think it will be a good one. I would want to be on that show as well.

[Meriweather]

We could swap. But I think that would be a boring show!!!! We are not militant enough about anything, well maybe Disney, but we both agree there. :thumbsup2

LOL...true.
I don't think I would make good TV for any of them. ;)

Patsy...Bachelor?? But you have your price already :rotfl:
( I still want Andrew Firestone for my DD :teeth: )

[mommytotwo]

LOL...true.
I don't think I would make good TV for any of them. ;)

Patsy...Bachelor?? But you have your price already :rotfl:
( I still want Andrew Firestone for my DD :teeth: )


:rotfl: Yes, I am not single. But just the adventures that they go on and being in Rome where I have never been to catches my eye. The guy is not bad looking either :rotfl2: .
Andrew Firestone....maybe you can plan a trip to meet him and bring your daughter along :rotfl: .

[Meriweather]

.
Andrew Firestone....maybe you can plan a trip to meet him and bring your daughter along :rotfl: .

:rotfl: Right....where will I find him?? ;)
He does judge sometimes on Iron Chef America :teeth:

[mommytotwo]

:rotfl: Right....where will I find him?? ;)
He does judge sometimes on Iron Chef America :teeth:



Run to the Food Network Studio Nancy :lmao: .

[kandeebunny]

:rotfl: Yes, I am not single. But just the adventures that they go on and being in Rome where I have never been to catches my eye. The guy is not bad looking either :rotfl2: .
Andrew Firestone....maybe you can plan a trip to meet him and bring your daughter along :rotfl: .

I'm single, but it's more for the experience of being in Rome than anything. If I could do the disgusting challenges I would have said Road Rules or The Amazing Race because I want to travel so badly!

[mommytotwo]

If you could have a themed birthday party, what would the theme be, and who would you pick to be your special guest?

[kandeebunny]

Pirates!!! Johnny Depp please lol

[kaylajr]

If you were to be on a reality t.v. show, which would it be for?
I would love to do amazing race with my DH or my Mom

I think wife swap would be fun but DH is too :scared:

[kaylajr]

If you could have a themed birthday party, what would the theme be, and who would you pick to be your special guest?

either Disney themed and Walt
If i could pick people already passed

if Not than probably

Nascar themed
and

Kevin Harvick

[Pooh67_68]

I'm with Kayla on this, Disney themed and Walt.

My other choice would be a sixty's theme, but the person I would want as a special guest is gone. (Jerry Garcia)

[AlexWyattMommy]

We did a pirate theme for my oldest's 6th birthday and it was a blast. So I'd love to have another and I'd pick Orlando Bloom. I have nieces who would love to see him.

[Gymbomom]

If you could have a themed birthday party, what would the theme be, and who would you pick to be your special guest?


I would want it to be a beach theme, pool party. And, have Jerry Seinfield as the entertainment. :goodvibes

[Meriweather]

Pirates!!! Johnny Depp please lol


::yes:: That would be my choice also :teeth: :faint: pirate:

Hi exchangers!

First off, let me say that I LOVE these exchanges, and I very much appreciate the work that the hosts put into them. You guys are awesome!

Is there a comprehensive list of all exchanges that are done? I have seen new hosts try to start an exchange to be told that one already exists, and I was wondering how one would know? There is the sticky of upcoming exchanges, I know. But is there a list of all annual exchanges? I know sometimes people have a new idea for an exchange, and it isn't a regular from year to year, but maybe some of you guys who have been doing this for a long time could help the rest of us out so we don't step on any toes. I understand not wanting to do too many exchanges on the same items because it will make people lose interest. Thank you so much! :)

No there is no list. The best thing that you could do is to check with the long time hosts and see if it was done before or not. If we are not sure, then we will ask each other and get you an answer.




But, I also wanted to add here that I will be starting the Christmas Present Exchange sign ups today. It will be the EARLY Christmas Present Exchange. So if anyone is interested in joining in, come and check it out. :santa:.

[Ready to go in Ok]

Ok, is there a secret society, or are the club members known? ;) :teeth:

[mommytotwo]

Ok, is there a secret society, or are the club members known? ;) :teeth:



There is no secret society or club...just feel free to ask the hosts that have been hosting exchanges for a longer period of time since they/we may have a better idea of what exchanges were around.

I am just teasing MTT. You guys do a great job, I was just thinking about hosting an exchange, and wanted to know the unspoken rules so I didn't offend anyone.

[Nite0wl71]

This has nothing to do with exchanges but I just love this picture :love:

It was taken Sunday Oct 1 at AK.

I tried logging onto the Y.C. site to see what new things they have, but it froze on me :(.
Both Brandon and Shayla are doing fine.
Brandon is now sleeping so I am snacking and had just started the Early Christmas Present Exchange. And Shayla has soooooooooo much energy I wonder where she gets it from. She had painted this morning and we started doing a pressed flower craft.

[snowwhitesmom]

Nope not snacking anymore :).
But I need to find an outfit for Brandon and I am not having any luck.

[BBGirl]

Ok so what is a good exchange for someone who LOVES stuff like this but is afraid to jump in. I always sign up for sercret santa, valentine etc. I love the shopping and the getting something I don't know about. Everyone always gives me money for everything :sad2: Which is great but I want the SURPRISE factor. So which exchange would be good for me. Proably any :rotfl2: :confused3 Also is anyone going to the used book exchange again now that is one I could do for sure for sure.
TIA

I am hosting the Early Christmas Present Exchange right now if you would like to join us for that. You never know what you will recieve.
I think there will be another used book exchange in the future...you will just have to keep an eye out on this board for it, or you could ask the past organizers if they will be hosting it again.

Thanks I have been lurking for while on this board and love the idea and watching what people think to send I think I just needed a jump start. Thanks

[mommytotwo]

If you could have one restaurant move to the area that you live in, which would it be and what would be the first thing you order from there?

[mommytotwo]

I won't be able to host the Christmas Stocking Exchange....but if anyone else would like to do it, feel free to host it.

[Pooh67_68]

Carrie cute picture. I'd go with the 11x13 :goodvibes

Thanks Nancy and Michelle. Should I go with a 8x10 or 11x13 :rotfl:

Patsy still snacking :teeth:

[Pooh67_68]

Any of the big chain restaurants (TGIFridays, Chili, Applebee) there are some around but we have to travel pretty far to eat at one. So putting one closer would be nice.

If you could have one restaurant move to the area that you live in, which would it be and what would be the first thing you order from there?

[snowwhitesmom]

I agree with Nancy - especially with that pic! :teeth:

[kaylajr]

No problem I know it tends to be a BIG one
I love it too

I figure if i start sign ups NOV 1 that will give people time to do both the early christmas Patsy is doing now and the stocking

[MickeyMamma]

So what kinds of things do people send for the early Christmas gifts?

Also, with the stocking exchange, I assume that we fill the stockings before sending? What kind of $ amount is usually on that one?

I am just trying to plan out how I can do the next few exchanges. Thanks!!

There are all kinds of gifts that are sent for the present exchange.
Participants list some favorites, to give the sender an idea of what they like....and you can go by the info. that they sent in, or you can just by a random gift just for that person.
The present exchange is open to the first 50 participants, so hurry if you would like to join us.

[mommytotwo]

Is any exchange hosts on right now?

[kaylajr]

Is any exchange hosts on right now?
i am now
but i think i missed you :confused3

[Meriweather]

Everything alright, Patsy? We're worried about you.

sorry I missed you last night. Let us know if we can do anything to help.

[mommytotwo]

Thank you Nancy, Michelle, and Kayla. :grouphug:

[mommytotwo]

Sorry there was no QOTD yesterday...but here is on for Saturday.


If someone where to send you a bouquet of flowers, what kind would you like to recieve?

[mickeyfan2]

Red roses.

[mommytotwo]

Sunflowers since they are so cheerful.

But I also like those big nice lillies.

[Meriweather]

My favorite is a big bunch of tulips.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mixed wildflowers, for the color and the smell.

[Pooh67_68]

My favorite flower, any type of Lilly.

[Gymbomom]

I like the mixed flowers too. :)

[mommytotwo]

Mixed wildflowers, for the color and the smell.



Do they have wildflower bouquets, and which wildflowers smell?
We don't have wildflowers just growing anywhere here, but I had purchased wildflower seeds and have some growing in my garden and none of them smell. I need to find for more wildflower seeds.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I wish I knew the name to the flowers, but unfortunately I'm hopelessly lost there.
I know the purple ones helliotrop? have a nice smell and there is some flower that has a cinnamon type sent, but I don't know what it is called either.
Sorry I'm no help there.

No problem, I was just wondering.

[mommytotwo]

If you were to make yourself an ice cream sundae, what type of ice cream and toppings would you choose?

[snowwhitesmom]

omigosh, Patsy!
vanilla ice cream with peanut butter and hot fudge toppings, REAL whipped cream and lots of cherries![now I am gonna hafta go to the market for sundae toppings.......]

[BBGirl]

Ok banana ice cream with chocolate and cashew nut topping. :banana:

[mickeyfan2]

Chocolate ice cream with peanut butter sauce.

[AlexWyattMommy]

*sigh*
I can't have ice cream anymore.
But if I could- just a bowl full of Moose Tracks would do it for me.

[Meriweather]

chocolate or vanilla (we still have vanilla left from July 4th ) with chocolate sauce, peanut butter, caramel sauce, chocolate chips (or M&Ms) and cherries.....and I do this very seldom :rotfl:

But I must say last night I made Apple Crisp and put vanilla ice cream on top of it and that was SO good!! Hot an cold and yummy. Good think I only made enough for the two of us ;)

[Pooh67_68]

A marshmallow sundae. Vanilla ice cream and marshmallow topping.


If you were to make yourself an ice cream sundae, what type of ice cream and toppings would you choose?

[Nite0wl71]

Vanilla with hot fudge whipped cream and lots of cherries. :thumbsup2

[Nite0wl71]

How is everyone this morning? I just got up and tried to get Stacey up and remembered it was Columbus Day, she was a little upset with me :blush:

I have to be at work at 3 and I should be doing laundry or unpacking or something constructive and where do I sit :surfweb:

Patsy I hope nothing is wrong. :hug: :flower3:

Ok I guess I can live with an 11 x 13 picture of the girls :rotfl:

Also if you see Amy's sig (2sweatangels) she stole my picture :lmao:

[thewishfire]

Perfect sundae? Vanilla ice cream, peanut butter sauce, hot fudge, peanuts and whipped cream.

[Meriweather]

:wave: Morning Carrie.
I will also be doing cleaning and laundry....all day :rolleyes:

[snowwhitesmom]

Add me to the cleaning and laundry brigade - get a day off from work and what do I do?

[Nite0wl71]

Day off :confused3 what is that?

[Nite0wl71]

Nancy I wish I had all day but not until Wednesday. I just have to do enough laundry to have clothes for work for the next two days :rotfl2:

[mommytotwo]

Good morning ladies.
It is a laundry day for me as well, but that is how it is everyday.
Carrie, things are getting better. Thank you for asking. And, thank you to my special DIS friends.

Here is today's Question of the Day-Sunday-9/8
If you were to go on a trip to somewhere other then a Disney destination, where would you go to and what would you like to do there?

[Gymbomom]

If we are not going to Disney, I LOVE going to the All Inclusive places in Mexico.....the nicer ones. I love sun and relaxing with an umbrella drink.

[mickeyfan2]

testing my signature

[Meriweather]

Las Vegas!! I love people watching, the shows, SHOPPING!! and the food :)

[Gymbomom]

Las Vegas!! I love people watching, the shows, SHOPPING!! and the food :)

Okay, we went to Vegas in Oct 2005, LOVED it. We had the best time.
We went again in July, 2006 and I was a little beaten down by all of the gambling. Then the people we went with thought I was a "stick in the mud"
I just love going to ALL the different hotels, sightseeing, eating, people watching...I got kind of "bored" with the non-stop blow our money at the tables.
I would like to go again as long as my hubby would agree to not just gamble the whole time.

[Meriweather]

I don't gamble much...a little in the machines. That's it.
I like all the other stuff ::yes::
I also enjoyed our cruise to Alaska and would like to do that again sometime.

[kbmoo]

I've really been out of the loop. Busy working since I took all that vacation time. Ice cream - I love chocolate peanut butter ice cream, or just plain new york vanilla with lots of hot fudge sauce. Trip- I love going to any beach. Last year I went to Mazatlan. Loved it, my dh and I are going on a Carribean cruise in December. I am excited about that. Also my ds is turning 13 the end of Oct. So I need to do something special. I am taking him to Disney quest. I know I am crazy, but we are going Friday-Monday the first weekend in November. :thumbsup2 Pop Century for $79 night. I got 2 free airline tickets with my northwest world perks. So I couldn't pass up the great deal. I bought a season pass in August. I am alittle obsessed! He probabley would have been happy with a sleep over :rotfl: :rotfl:

[mommytotwo]

So how many of you had gotten BOOed? :rotfl:

So the question of the day is-
What sort of special little things have you done for people to make them smile?

[snowwhitesmom]

I sent something in the mail today that I hope will make someone smile.......

[pennst8r]

I did get Boo'd...but I don't see it in anyone's sig. All I see is a grey box with a ? in it. :eeyore: I'm workin on it so I can do the Boo-ing!

We do something like this in our development. I have a little flyer that explains it, and we leave the flyer, a ghost you can hang outside and candy. Knock, leave the candy and run!

By Halloween we've all got the ghosts flying. Well, almost all. Lots of Mennonites who think Halloween is bad. Ah, well...

[pennst8r]

Why can I see the orange bouncing Mickey on some sigs in the other threads, but not on others?

Is it just me???

[Meriweather]

Some people seem to be having that problem, Lynne. :confused3
Not sure why.

[Pooh67_68]

I have always wanted to visit England.


Here is today's Question of the Day-Sunday-9/8
If you were to go on a trip to somewhere other then a Disney destination, where would you go to and what would you like to do there?

[Pooh67_68]

I was booed by 3 different people. I can not see the pumpkin in Patsy or Meriweather's siggys.
I could see it as an avatar of SillyMe, so I right clicked on it, saved it to my computer and uploaded it to my photobucket account. Copied and pasted from there.

So how many of you had gotten BOOed? :rotfl:

I always smile at people and almost always get a smile back. I especially smile at people who seem to be angry or upset.

This past Sunday, my mom told her Nephew that he is going to Disney with us. The card she gave him, I had a DISer make up for me. So I helped to make him cry. (but a good cry)


So the question of the day is-
What sort of special little things have you done for people to make them smile?

I did get Boo'd...but I don't see it in anyone's sig. All I see is a grey box with a ? in it. :eeyore: I'm workin on it so I can do the Boo-ing!

We do something like this in our development. I have a little flyer that explains it, and we leave the flyer, a ghost you can hang outside and candy. Knock, leave the candy and run!

By Halloween we've all got the ghosts flying. Well, almost all. Lots of Mennonites who think Halloween is bad. Ah, well...


That sounds like fun.
I am now able to see everyones jumping Mickey.
And as for my answer to the question of the day, I had booed more DISers this morning, and just like Michelle, I have something ready to be sent to hopefully put a smile on that persons face. Just having to get it sent out.

Just wanted to say hi. We just made it back from our trip and had a pretty good time. The crowds were just insane though. Ethan had a great time though he was so upset b/c he wore his donald shirt in hopes of seeing him and in the whole 9 days there my child did not see Donald one single time. He is still sad over that.

He did get to see some other great characters though. :)

I will read up and try to catch up on questions soon. :goodvibes

Welcome back Amanda.
Sorry to hear that Ethan did not get to see Donald.
Maybe that means that you will need to plan another trip when he gets a bit older and he can go on a mission to find Donald.

If you were to buy something from DisneyShopping.com, what would you pick?

[Pooh67_68]

A household item of some sort.

[Meriweather]

What haven't I picked :rolleyes:
Probably some art work.

Welcome back Amanda. Sorry no Donald sighting for you :(

Hi Exchangers. I need help....
I am thinking of what to put both Brandon and Shayla into to take their Christmas pictures in. I will be taking a regular photo and making it into a Christmas card.
I usually get Shayla a Christmas dress-which she uses just 3 times and then it gets stored away and never used....so I was thinking either putting them in their regular clothes, or getting them both a Christmas colored-ex.red outfit.
I had seen a dress for Shayla-size 3T or maybe a 4T, but nothing for Brandon yet-0-3 months right now and a 3-6 month maybe in a month or two.
So, if anyone sees cute outfits that are not warm-Brandon gets hot fast so an onsie would be great, or something similar online, could you post about it here.
TIA. :goodvibes
