Scavenger Hunt....this idea sounded like so much fun when suggested in the poll. Thank you Luv2Roam. A lot of people seemed to be interested, so I hope that follows through and we get a lot of sign-ups.
Ready for some fun!! :yay:

So.....for this exchange you will be given a list of items to find and send to someone.
It won't have a price. Some things you will have to purchase, some things will be free things to gather, some things you might already have around the house or at work. Some may take a bit of hunting :teeth:
There will be 15 items.
You must find all 15 items, you can't use one item for 2 categories ;)
The specifics will be a surprise until names go out :teeth:

You will print the list once you receive it and write the item next to the category that it goes with. Include the list in the box when you send it out. That will make sure you got them all and make sure the receiver knows which item goes with which category.

Sign-ups will go until May 14.
Mail date will be May 21.

If you want to play PM me your:
Name
Address
e-mail address
How many exchanges do you want to do?
Are you willing to be an elf?
Are you willing to send international (MUST be by airmail)?

This should be a lot of fun. And if it is a success we will do it again :woohoo:

Will each person be given the same list, and then there are different interpretations of what we are to look for? Or, will we each receive the same 15 things? I'm fuzzy on this.:crazy:

Thanks
Bobbi:goodvibes

the same list, but the list is just a general thing, so everyone will most likely come up with different thing.

example: 1) something green
2) something sour

She mentioned awhile back another item would start with a letter. :lmao:That's a big hint. :rotfl2:Just gather something for every letter of the alphabet. :laughing:

Meriweather

:yay:ooohhhh! can we get a hint a day?

Not everyday, that would be almost all of them by name day.

Maybe another on Monday ;)

:rotfl: Barbara......that's it, then you will be ready for a lot more of them to come, IF I change letters each time ;)

So stay tuned Monday for another item on the list::yes::

Oh yay! Finally an exchange I can participate in. I have missed so many good ones because the boys and I have been sick on an off for the last 2 months. I'm so over it!! We've been really busy too...I want to kick back and relax for the next week. ;)

I had decided I wasn't going to do this one since I still am having health issues and have so much to do before vacation, BUT it sounds so interesting and so fun, that I'm going to do it anyway! :cool1:

Meriweather
05-11-2010, 08:26 AM
Glad you are joining us, Donna......sorry to hear you are still dealing with those health issues though :( Do hope they get figured out soon!! :hug:

I would have loved to do this exchange, but I don't have the time right now--this weekend, I'm going to see my nieces in a community theater production & next weekend is my niece Dana's First Communion & we're celebrating Dad's 85th birthday as well! So I've got to get the house in order. To top it off, we're getting a new oven & stovetop this week, so I had to empty cabinets so they can be installed.

but I hope this is successful--I'd love to do future scavenger hunts!

Name day!!

Sign-ups are now closed!! Names will be going out shortly. I do have a few things to do before I sit down to do that, it may be a couple of hours.

I will start the sent/received thread and put the list on it so you all can start thinking and planning.
The list will also be included with the names when they are sent out. :mickeyjum

Ya'll have fun! If I thought that I would have been able to squeeze in the search for the items before my mother's surgery next week, I would have played.

I do want to participate in the re-gift though!

Meriweather
05-14-2010, 09:47 AM
I am already ready for the regift :rotfl: As soon as we decided to do another, I filled a box.....sad.
Good luck with your mother and her surgery.

Kirby
