Girls Only Trip ~ Summer Exchange thread (Complete! Thanks ladies!)

[21yankees]

I just got home and was able to open my box from January. Thanks so much for the cute things. I'll post pictures later but here's what was inside:

A cosmetic bag (I almost bought one at an outlet mall I was near this week, glad I didn't)
Inflatable Monkey, Palm Tree, and Flamingo (the kids want me to blow them up right now)
Ariel Beach ball and Ariel Tote
Water Balloons
Note set
Lime Green Pen (very cute, can't wait to bring it to work...otherwise my girls will claim it)
Stickers. Perfect for my scrapbooking.

Thanks so much January. This exchange was so much fun. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Alright! Another awesome arrival!!

So that only leaves 3 more exchanges to hear about, and I think Stacerita you have one more item to receive or am I confused about that?

 

[BillyFan]

Looking forward to it! I know that I'll be mailing mine out early because we are leaving July 3 for a week in Yosemite! No kids - just Mr. CA and me! I am so excited and so much to look forward to!

Totally off-topic, but Vicki, when you are in Yosemite, you can rent bikes in Curry Villiage. We had great fun just riding around the valley floor one day. It is easy riding, and there are paths that you take all around.

So did I read it correctly that there will be another exchange before the Halloween one?

She should have 1 more thing coming.

Yes. We are doing one in June/July. The theme is Favorite Disney or Cartoon character. So it can be anything from Mickey to Sponge Bob, or whatever. I will ask people when they sign up to list their top three characters just in case nothing can be found in their first choice.

And this one is going to include kids as well. So if you want to sign up your DD you can. You can sign up just your kids, or just yourself, or you and your kids.

I will have kids sending to kids, and adults to adults.

Thanks. That's what I thought.

So more like 3 and a half exchanges left to hear about.

Thanks! We are planning to take our bikes because are staying in the tent cabins in Curry Village. I am glad to hear it is easy riding because DBF wants to hike up to the top of Yosemite Falls, not the first part of the falls but the higher part. Yikes...I need to get in better hiking shape!

Any other tips or info that you have for me would be great!

I am so excited to go!

I tried to find something with Si and Am, but I jsut couldn't do it. You might want to offer a backup, just in case! But if you choose them, can I choose Billy Hill? He's totally a Disney character! And there's merchandise to be had, you just have to order it online.

And I'm glad the pool chair was a hit! That kills me that you MIL got in it too!! And I hear what you mean with the huge family of in-laws. Marty is the oldest of 8, and get-togethers are crazy.

Ooh, Billy Hill. What a great idea !! I happen to love him too.
At a show last Dec. he gave my 84 year old Mom a kiss right on the mouth !! So funny. A gal a few tables down kept saying that SHE wanted a kiss like that.

I know, and I am sorry about the Si and Am thing. I couldn't think of any others that are faves right now. Grumpy used to be my favorite, but for some reason (and it's good), I am not nearly as grumpy and prickley as I used to be!!!

I look forward to the next exchange, and g'head, pick Billy!!!

Beth...take note...I think these two exchangers deserve each other.

Who/what the heck are Si and Am? Cats? Si...am...ese I'm going to go with cats. From where? Lady and the Tramp?

And do they have Billy action figures or t-shirts? Or do we just get a flannel shirt and rip it up? Maybe some black wax for missing teeth?

I may have to pass on the next round. It's just gonna be too hard! I myself was thinking along the lines of Buzz Lightyear or Goofy or a character people actually recognize.

A Billy action figure would just crack me up. I would have to buy that just because that sounds super funny.

I need to figure out my top 3. I know my #1. #2 and #3? Uh, never thought about it? And it doesn't have to be Disney? Oh boy, that makes it harder.

What do you mean, surely our good humor and flexibility make us a good pairing, certainly that is what you mean!!

Now that IS funny. An action figure Billy.

Jenn,

Don't back out for that reason!! Even if I say SI and AM, I would be happy as a little clam to get a box of Winnie the Pooh, Belle and the weirdo mallard duck from Chicken Little. It's just fun to get mail.


Of course, you set yourself up for ultimate creativity with the first exchange. Me, I am pacing myself!!!

Ah, don't worry. I wouldn't back down from a challenge.
But...my creativity for these obscure character selections might make the exchangers regret their esoteric choices.

Obviously since you are hot!!

I will take that under advisement!! Good to know. Off note, are you Jen with one "n" or two?
