Grocery Bag Swap OPEN

[BernardandMissBianca]

Holly, what's the total number of Ikea bags am I buying?
I probably won't buy any for me because I already have 2.

Ok so about the smaller bags - are we talking the size of regular grocery bags or more like the size of lunch bags?

I'm not Holly, but I'm answering...Small is regular grocery bags.

Holly, what's the total number of Ikea bags am I buying?

I think it's a send in x get x back. So, if you send in 4, you'll get 4 back, and probably not one of your own.

Thanks Jennifer!
Oh and you don't need to make me a bag if you don't want to, I can wait til my birthday It seems like they are a hot commodity.

about the sizes. I also think it would be best if we took a peice of ribbon or something and tied a lable or tag to each bag we send out so that it might be easer for the person sorting them to not give you one of your own bags back? Just a thought. Mum

A pink elephant on a pink bag, then a Grey Elephant on a brownish jungle scene. I got some kid type bags also. I will get around to taking pic today. Mum

You'll guess mine as they're form english stores.

If I can not have an Ikea one that would be good as I already have 2.

i will keep them in piles with who sent what when i sort them so you don't get your own back. *hopefully!!!*

the ? has been asked about sizes.

there are 2 different sizes. there are small ones that you would get at the grocery store and are the size of a regular grocery bag.

then there are larger ones that are clearly bigger than the small. i really don't want to put measurements out there, in case someone's bags are not that exact size.

there is a clear difference between them. so use your own judgement as to if it's a small or a large.

now another ? is whether they are cloth or plastic? the ones i have are that reusable cloth kind. but at toys r us this weekend i saw the kind i have but w/plastic on the front and back and cloth on the sides.
so again they just have to be reusable. all cloth, cloth and plastic either way.

hope this is ok with everyone and i made some kind of sense. i've been up all night so if this if foggy ask me to clear it up!

Okay, so I had intended on shopping for my bags at Forever 21 which carries cute ones, then this morning I went to Publix and they had some really cute magic wand ones and beautiful breast cancer ones! So I am ready to mail, I just need your address!

I ended up with enough for one small bag group and two larger bag groups.
They weren't easy to get in the box, so if explodes when you open it,
Don't say I didn't warn you.

I love it!!!

Party of three how about I just send you my bags and then you put them in the group that you think they go in? So I havent seen anywhere that says how much we have to send in to pay shipping the bags back to us. How does that work or do we paypal you. Mum

 

[party of 3]

that will work Mum! just send them in!

send me the same amount it took you to get it to me. sorry i don't have a paypal acct.

I would suggest adding in an extra dollar in stamps (or cash) in case the bags someone else sends are a little heavier unless you are using flat rate in which case you just send the amount for the size box you would need.

DH had had a tidy up so I ended up using a CM box as he'd thrown away all my padded envelopes But don't feel obliged to use the same to send it back! And let me know if you need more $$ as it cost a bit to post

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine is in the hands of our wonderful postal system. I have DC if we need it.

I'm glad it got there and I'm sure the bags you make will look fantastic!

Holly, I found some more large bags so would you please put me down for another group of large bags (I'll be in 2 now)? I've got cute paw print ones from Petsmart and leafy ones from JCPenney. I'll try to get them in the mail in the next few days. I'll let you know when I do.
