My ds Griffin, 5, received a red pencil case filled with Cars pencils, erasers! He also received a Disney Alphabet workbook and a Mickey Mouse activity book.

Thank you to Wyatt, ds to AlexWyattMommy!!

He is so excited about getting the Lightening McQueen pencil and eraser topper.
"It was good. I like it!"

[AlexWyattMommy]

Holy Cow that was fast!! 'Course you are just a skip away from us! :teeth:
It was harder to find boy things than girl things. I was afraid Pooh would be too babyish for him, but I'm really glad he likes Cars. My boys loved the movie too.

[NikiM20]

Karas was mailed today

[Disneyanajc]

THANK YOU! Ryan and Tink_Or_Belle, our package arrived today. Grandson Justin couldn't wait to open it and then "AirHeads and PEZ, Oh! Yes!" was the first words out of his mouth. You have made his day.

Enclosed in the envelope was a Cars folder, Winnie the Pooh coloring set,
Disney side walk chalk, Nemo magic towel and Mater PEZ (he loves PEZ) and 2 Cars AirHead bars.
Had to show off his Cars folder to his Dad and can't wait to color with Mom.

The best part was when he was smiling, showing us he got mail, it was in his name. Thank you so much.

This has been great and I look forward to doing more exchanges

Truthfully, my own son was pretty envious of those black pencils!

I have a question for all of you:

We've gone shopping and can't find a whole lot of Disney school supplies (we have found some just not quite enough). So I'm wondering where you all picked your items out?

Thanks!!

OK, we found notebooks, pencils with erasers, crayons, at wal mart, also big lots has mini notebooks, mechanical pencils, light-up pens, markers, pencils, stickers, among other things.

Thanks!!

I had trouble finding things too. This past week, I was unable to get to either the Disney Store or WalMart so I did what I could at other stores. I ended up getting a little something Disney and putting it with other items that I just thought would be fun to have. Actually, for 1 of our Exchange buddies, I let DS pick things out since he is the same age as the buddy.

[MickeyMamma]

OK, we found notebooks, pencils with erasers, crayons, at wal mart, also big lots has mini notebooks, mechanical pencils, light-up pens, markers, pencils, stickers, among other things.

Sounds like I may need to try to hit those for DS at some point then. Guess I may have to try to get to WalMart next week.

[alli'smom]

My DD Allison got her exchange from Tink-or-Bell.
She got a Princesses pencil box, pencils, eraser & pencil sharpener.
Snow White note pad and Princesses notebook. Tinkerbell pencils,
ruler and 2 Princesses folders. And Kissables & Airheads.
Thank you very much. Allison likes everything!

Dang!! I was hoping to stay away from Wally World!! Thanks I'll go tonight after church.

[Vannah]

I wish I had got interested in exchanges before the sign-ups for this one was over!! It sounds like you all had such a great time!

[Good Ol Gal]

Don't forget the mail date is Wed. the 9th.

I wasn;t sure if 11 was beyond Princess age .... if it is the princess items (not the tink pencils airheads kissables) all go in that pink princess bag and are from K mart if she wants to exchange it for other items. I would not feel bad I am a 32 year old Princess lover so I am not the best judge! :cheer2:

[Good Ol Gal]

We are getting our packages all packed up today. Hopefully I can get them all ready before the mail comes today. I'll post when they go for sure.

[Good Ol Gal]

I am so glad he liked everything. Hmmm, there should have been 1 more thing in your package. Did I leave it out maybe? I know I was trying to get everything to fit into the package. Hmmm, I will have to take another look to see if maybe Andrew put it back into his school supplies box. There should have been a package with pens or pencils in it (can't remember which I got). If it is still here, I will send it out later this week to you.

Andrew had alot of fun getting to shop for another boy that was about his age. I will tell him that he did a good job picking things out.





I will try to pop back on later after I get the kids in bed to tell you about all the great stuff Andrew got today.

[AlexWyattMommy]

No, there was no package of pens or pencils, just the markers & crayons for writing utencils. Alex made a picture, but I have no idea what it is supposed to be. He sat right down to make it. Than he says, "Where do I know my friend Andrew from? I don't remember what he looks like." Ha ha. Kids are so funny.

[PixieDust32]

[sunny_medford]

Mailed out our exchange this morning, and I remembered to send it with a delivery confirmation :yay: This is so much fun and I do hope we did it correctly :blush:
Disneyanajc and Grandson

Randall was sooo happy with his items. He kept pulling things out of the box. This is the first year he has said, " I can't wait to go back to school." Our kids don't start til the last week of August, and we've had a busy busy summer. Let me see if I can remember most of the things he got. If I forget something it's because as soon as he opened the box, he had everything spread out all over the place.
filler paper
glue sticks
colored pencils
"cars" pencil pouch
"cars" notepad
"cars" pencils
"cars" ruler
"car" pencil sharpener
"cars" eraser
"cars" folder
"cars" notebook
disneyland luggage tags
Lanyard w/his first disney pin
Disneyland autograph book
larger pencil sharpener.
Again, if I forget anything it's because he has had everything out and looking at it and checking everything over and over.
We are headed on our first WDW vacation in January so the luggage tags and autograph book will come in real handy then.
Thank you very much. You made my son's day!
Wendy

[sunny_medford]

Truthfully, my own son was pretty envious of those black pencils!
Sent out a package to Lucas today. It went priority w/delivery confirmation, let me know if you want the #. My son was pretty bummed some of the stuff he thought he was getting for school supplies went in the box. He'll get over it, especially since he recieved his overflowing box Sunday.

[Good Ol Gal]

any more arrivals or shipments today?

we still have 6 more that need to ship and 8 that are waiting on delivery.

[Disneyanajc]

Randall was sooo happy with his items.
Thank you very much. You made my son's day!
Wendy

Wendy and Randall, Justin and I were very happy to read your post and so glad that Randall liked his school package.

[babytrees]

This is to cute, I had Abi right out a note to send to our package recipient. She must have misunderstood me and wrote a thank you note. :goodvibes
I thought I'd type it out for Alli:

Thank you so much for all the school supplies. I espescially like the bookmarks. They're cute, I'm always looking for a bookmark and I know where one is now, actually two! Everything is so cool!! I could use all the stuff alot!! I really love all of it. Thank you again.

[babytrees]

our packages went out on my lunch hour priority...they have a bit to go so they should be there by this weekend!!

I am so glad that she liked everything. I wasn't sure what to send her and didn't want to send things that would be too babyish for her either so I went with things that I thought she would have fun with. And I was thinking about her locker with the dry erase board - just the right size. And well, I figured that teenage girls would like stuff with Jonny and Orlando on it.

Hope she has a great time starting high school!

[MickeyMamma]

Okay, wasn't able to get back online last night so now I can tell you about the packages Andrew got.

First one was from Maureen in NC. Andrew got
Pooh pencils
Mickey stickers
a yoyo (need to know where you got this since DD loves it and I need to find one for her so she stops taking Andrew's LOL!)
Cars art set - which he is using as I type
Cars light up pen
lime green notebook on a keychain (he takes the notebook and the pen in the car and like to write in it while I drive)
Incredibles fly ring
Pooh stamper wheel
Candy including a light up candy stick that also shines the outline of one of the Cars :thumbsup2 very cool
a rubber ball
and 2 tiny tape dispensers which Andrew has been carrying around just in case I may have a tape emergency LOL!

Thank you sooo much! He had such fun opening all of it and used the art set all morning and now again after camp.

[MickeyMamma]

No, there was no package of pens or pencils, just the markers & crayons for writing utencils. Alex made a picture, but I have no idea what it is supposed to be. He sat right down to make it. Than he says, "Where do I know my friend Andrew from? I don't remember what he looks like." Ha ha. Kids are so funny.

Cute! Andrew just thinks that Mommy has alot of nice "lady friends" on the computer.

As for the missing item, I found it in Andrew's school supply box last night. :blush: I got him the same thing and he thought that I had taken his and was going to mail it. Ah well, I will get it sent out to you later this week. So Alex will have another little surprise on the way.

And since he ;) doesn't remember what Andrew looks like, here is a picture:

A Mater Eraser
Piglet Kleenex
Mickey "You did it" stickers
Tink Jumbo Crayons

Thank you SO much Elizabeth in Ohio! :lovestruc
Yeah!! We're so glad that he liked everything. Travis really enjoyed shopping for a little guy. He picked out a pair of Buzz sandals, but I just didn't know if they would fit Ryan or not so I told him no (he said I was such a mean mom for that :rolleyes: )

Was there also a magic towel in there? Travis picked one out for him..did one of my guys confiscate it :scratchin

[mickeyfan2]

I mailed out the last of my packages today. It's headed to Nottingham, PA. Wish I could have found some Robin Hood stuff to pack in that box! :rotfl:

I'm soooooo glad Lucas was happy with his package. I had a hard time sending it because I kept finding things I wanted to add! :lmao: I love knowing what his reactions were. :thumbsup2
This was a super fun exchange, fun to wait and then get packages and see my kids reactions, but just as fun waiting for others to get thier packages and hear their reactions. :goodvibes

Cora recieved her package Thursday. (I tried to post yesturday but I was having major computer problems.)
We were in the car headed to the city when Cora opened her package. That thing was taped quite good!! :rotfl: She was trying to show me everything as she pulled it out of the envelope, but there were times I just couldn't take my eyes of the road to see what she was so excited about.
POTC fruit snacks (her brother has his eye on these)
Princess writing tablet (she's quite impressed with this)
Princess crayons
Princess addition and subtraction flash cards (she played w/these already)
Winnie the Pooh pencils (these are so cute, I may sneak one for myself)
Princess stickers (She wants these opened really bad)
A Nemo Magic towel (It's a washcloth now!!)
And a wonderful letter from Griffin. I think she was most impressed with the letter. She said I had to write to him to thank him but I told her she could do that. So hopefully Griffin will be getting a thank you note in the mail very soon. :goodvibes
Thank you so much good ol gal and Griffin. Cora is VERY happy w/her package and was happy to learn that Griffin likes the princesses. Cora is convinced she is a princess, I swear, she truely believes she is a princess!! princess:

[PixieDust32]

Nothing today. :wizard:

Yeah!! I'm so glad it got there, I was starting to get worried.

Sorry about the tape, we forgot the princess tablet and Griffin HAD to open it up again so we could put it in there for her.

He'll be so excited to get a letter from her. :thumbsup2

[mickeyfan2]

I got a terrific package from Cora daughter of Sunny-Medford. I got:

ColorVibe highlighters
Wite-out
Index cards
Notebook
Filler paper
Princess (Ariel, Cinderella and Aurora) themebook
Princess (Ariel, Cinderella and Aurora) folder
Pirates of the Caribbean set - 2 folders, themebook, 3"x5" memo pad, pencil pouch, 3 pencils, ruler and eraser

Thank you so much. This was a wonderful package.


ETA: I forgot the dictionary. DH took that when I opened the package. He said it would make good reading. :rotfl:

[sunny_medford]

I'm glad you and DH are enjoying the package. :thumbsup2 If I would have had enough time, you would have gotten a small scrapbook too. I'm not a very quick scrapbooker! :confused3 :)
I wish I could have found a pocket sized quotationary, we have a hard cover version, and that is good reading!! :rotfl: I was also hoping to tuck in a pirate: POTC 2007 calender, but I couldn't remember which store I had seen them in. :crazy: Oh well, maybe the next exchange name I get will get one!! :banana: Enjoy everything!!

[sunny_medford]

Yeah!! I'm so glad it got there, I was starting to get worried.

Sorry about the tape, we forgot the princess tablet and Griffin HAD to open it up again so we could put it in there for her.

He'll be so excited to get a letter from her. :thumbsup2
Cora has been writing in her new "diary" this morning. :rotfl: She hides it under her pillow with the mermaid pen tucked in the spiral part of the notebook. Right nowshe is working on Griffins letter. :) It's hand written so you may need to read it to him, she needs reminding to leave a space between words! She has her new washcloth laid out for her shower later too!! She is saving the fruit snacks for snack at school. That kid is disciplined, at her age I would have had those things gone as soon as I pulled them out of the package!! :rotfl2:

[Tink_Or_Belle]
