[kymmyk13]

I am all for the child exchange.. package mine up last night waiting to mail out:rotfl2: I am fairly new to the exchange what options do we have?

[dzee]

Just wondering, if we give a child do we have to get one back????:lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

I'm new to this so I was looking back at the exchange list and there has been just about every exchange done I could think of!! :confused3 :laughing: Are we talking going back and doing ones that have already been done:confused: or just going for new ideas?:idea:

Either. New ideas or you could even mention some that have been done in the past. If there are certain exchange hosts that usually host that particular exchange, then we could let you know when it may be coming up.

[Missy1961]

Is it almost time for a flip-flop exchange? Our weather is cold (again), but I do see flip-flops on sale everywhere.

Tinkerbell exchange?

[dzee]

I like the Tinkerbell:tinker: exchange idea!! She is my all time favorite!!:thumbsup2

[Pooh67_68]

Glad someone mentioned Tinker Bell. Nancy sent me a PM that she didn't want to do the Fun in the Sun that she had planned and was changing it to anything Tinker Bell.

So Patsy, if a Fun in the Sun exchange sounds good you could host that one.

[Missy1961]

oooh, I like the Fun in the Sun idea.

I was thinking Donald Duck, but he can be hard to find.

[JLitfin]

Children? :lmao:

Does teenagers count??

[JLitfin]

I really liked the gift card exchange, and I'm all for anything tinker bell.

[spookysarah]

I really liked the Lime Green Exchange, it was fun knowing that your package could contain anything. Is this one in the pipeline again? Or how about another colour exchange? I'd also be up for keyrings as I'm always on the lookout for nice ones. I'll ponder what else we could exchange.

[Meriweather]

Anything Tinkerbell is on the schedule.....and also Pooh and friends will be coming again. Also Disney princesses.

Not sure about flip flops....MommaU4 usually hosts that and I haven't seen her around in a long time.

Lime green can be arranged ::yes:: Always a good one.

gift cards didn't go well last time :( We only had 4-5 play in it, so not sure about that. Someone else is welcome to host it.

I was hoping we would be on our move to AZ for the Fun in the Sun exchange, but we aren't and it is never that sunny here :( so decided to pass....someone else can take that one if they want it.

[bettyann29]

has there been a refrigerator magnet exchange?? I think that would be cool..

[TINKTWINS]

Does teenagers count??


Jean~ YES OF COURSE :banana:

[spookysarah]

Any chance that cold be left until later n April. I'm kind of busy with excnahges and a couple of personal packages for the next few weeks. :rolleyes1:eek::rotfl:

Unfortunately that one has just passed. I'm sure it will come around again.

[spookysarah]

How about a Tacky Tourist, exchange' ie things that you would never buy yourself but all the tourists in your area/state/country seem to snap up. I could think of a whole heap of Scottish themed gifts. :lmao:

[BELLEDOZER]

Hi spookysarah...I think the tacky tourist exchange sounds like alot of fun. If it comes about, I have a dollarstore nearby that I can fill a box with all sorts of tacky CDN touristy stuff. I'm interested to see if it comes about, and if it does, you can count me in! Have a great day!!:thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

Trish

[Meriweather]

Lime green won't be on the list until at least June ;)
I am booked until then.

[mommyintn]

I would love to get in on an exchange, I did ones years ago and really enjoyed it! I love the anything Tinkerbell idea. Actually all the ones listed so far sound fun! For child exchange could I send 2?!! :)

[miceli20]

I would like to be added to any exchanges that come around. How do you host an exchange? I would be interested in doing this. Someone let me know. Thanks

Sure, I could host it. I had hosted the Summer Exchange before, and it sounds similar, so be on the lookout for it folks. ;)

I haven't seen mommau4 around for awhile either. :confused: Hope she is okay.

To host an exchange, you come up with an idea. There are some hosts that have already been doing certain exchanges, and it is an annual or such exchange for them...so you can check with one of the hosts such as myself or Meriweather to see if there are any hosts that will be putting together that particular exchange. Then you will need to get all of the sign up info. together-see current exchanges to see what info. you need, and start your sign up. Once sign ups are over, you will send out all the participants their pals info., set up a sent/received thread, and keep track of everyones mailings.

[Pooh67_68]

I was going to see if people were interested in a latch hook exchange and host it, but I have joined the Mickey Only, Disney Only and the Disney Pin exchanges that now I am backing off the exchanges for a while.

[Meriweather]

I would also suggest before anyone hosts an exchange, they participate in a few to get the feel for them.

[Missy1961]

She's good. Just really busy. Just got back from Disneyland Ladies trip, a bunch of ladies will be visiting Las Vegas so she's acting as tour guide, plus she's got a million things to do with the kids.

[kymmyk13]

I would not mind hosting a few echanges if it would help the other hosts but could not do until summer, WDW trip in 2 weeks:cool1: and my DD18 is graduating this year and the next couple of months are crazy. :eek:

[kymmyk13]

It does not mattter what we do next but lets do it quickly I am having withdrawals:surfweb:

[dzee]

Each school district has it at different times here, several had it last week my county is the week after Easter which is a horrible week. I am having to take my DD18 out of school the Thurs & fri before due to her have a state FBLA competition on thursday and fri of spring break (the person who sets up the state competition hasd spring break last week) and I am cutting my vacation short...:banana:

[dzee]

So how many days will you be at WDW??? Here in MA we all have the same week off, but some of the other New England states have the following week off!:cool1::thumbsup2
Well I guess the person setting up the schedule wasn't going to make the state competition for their vacation week!!! :sad2::rotfl: What we do for our kids!!!:confused3;)

[kymmyk13]

We will be there a week.. I am from Orlando and we will be staying with my sister.

[dzee]

That's great!! Some day I want to say "I"m from Orlando" too!! :lmao: That's my dream,to seek out and settle in the warm weather and defrost these bones for good!!:rotfl:

Trish

Hey Trish, Glad to hear you think this would be fun. I think I will run this one sometime after Easter as I know around here there is a distinct lack of tourists in the winter. Everything touristy seems to start up around Easter. I'll be sure to let you know. :thumbsup2

[Meriweather]

LOL....we went dressed as tacky tourists at MNSSHP in 2006!! It was fun and we got great reactions :rotfl:

[BELLEDOZER]

When we went to DL in Feb, I did up matching Mickey Mouse head t shirts that I found on the DISign board (the abstract spray painted Mickey Mouse head). Alot of the cast members were commenting on how greyt they were. Let me know when you want to put the Tacky Tourist exchange on, and you can count me in on it. Have a great day!!

[Missy1961]

Nancy, those are a hoot! :lmao:

[Meriweather]

LOL...it was fun. We had people coming up to us asking to take our pictures :rotfl:

[Pinky166]

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Great photos Nancy!!!!

[spookysarah]

Nancy those costume are great! Black socks and white trainers, oversize sunglasses, dodgy headgear and clashing prints......are you sure you're not British? :lmao:

We also had a blast at MNSSHP, we went as a tribe of cannibals and were like celebs all night. :thumbsup2 You can see a small pic in my signature, maybe I could find a bigger one.

[Meriweather]

Yep.....I have seen many tourists look like that :rotfl:
DH made the camera too....picture doesn't really show it, but it was way oversize and had a picture of Mickey and gang on the lens.

I see your photo all the time....looks great.

No idea what we will do if we go back again....it might just be this year ;)
Those costumes were easy, light and we threw them away after.

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Bookmarks?

Ready for another pin exchange!:thumbsup2

Please someone remind me of the pin exchange!

[Pooh67_68]

There is another pin exchange set for July 3rd.

[PrincessParty]

Hello again! It is summer so I am back, talk about your fair weather friend. :lmao: As always, my DDs are asking about a book exchange for kids/teenagers. (Well, truthfully only one is, but the other one will read this summer! :eek:)

[Luv2Roam]

I am wondering about a DVD exchange :confused3
Also, looking at my desk at work and noticing I have a lot of "stuff"... I thought it might be fun to have a desk/home exchange. And we need not buy anything (optional). We simply exchange an item (or items) from either our home or work office that represents us (or who we work for/what we do). :3dglasses Might be kind of fun to see someone else's junk -- er... good stuff.
Or how about a home/office/work/cube exchange? :)

[mommytotwo]

This is an exchange I was thinking of as well since my daughter is really into reading, and needs harder books.

But, there are not that many kids participating in exchanges these days, so I wonder how the turn out would be.

[PrincessParty]

:idea: Maybe it doesn't have to be just children, but adults would have to submit a few titles of books they are interested in reading. Or combine it with a bookmark or DVD exchange? Maybe a Summer Activity exchange. Or not at all. I know our school year got chaotic quick so we are now getting back onto the exchange scene.

[Luv2Roam]

How about a dessert exchange? I don't recall having this before. Different from the snack exchange as this is what I suggest for the dessert:
1) A recipe
2) A dessert, even if it is a dessert box mix
3) Item(s) dessert related. Such as a specific type cookbook, dessert cups or spoons, dessert toppings, bakeware utensils, etc.

I will think of something, and put it together this coming week, or next week :). We did have a summer exchange, but could always do another one.

Sounds like a yummy exchange.

Just wanted to say that there is the kitchen exchange taking sign ups right now till Tuesday, if anyone is interested in participating.

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Windchimes, potholders, kitchen towels?

What about a house swap? It would make for a really frugal vacation.:thumbsup2

What a fabulous idea!!!!

I would go to Sydney & you could live a few minutes from Manhattan!!!!!:thumbsup2

[Seewhatimesdone]

I'm new to the the exchange section but I was thinking it would be cool to do an exchange that had to do with something crafter like knitting, crocheting, etc. Or maybe an art exchange?

[disneygirlatheart]

How about Make Me Feel Like a Prince/Princess Exchange. Anything that will pamper you. Spa Materials, Movie Tickets, Gift Card for New Clothes, New Hairbrush, Body Lotion, ETC.
