    Good Morning All;
    This was the last post on the old thread with one change. I will come up with a theme by the end of the weekend but I wanted to make sure those people that had signed up could keep their month/theme unless life has made hosting a challenge.
    Vic, Kathy and HNB, let us know will you?
    Thanks.

    Hey there! Paula and I had volunteered to host in May, why were we deleted from the list??? We'd already picked out a theme and everything.
    Diene, I'm sure you meant well by removing us from the list, and yes, Paula won't be able to help me host, but it would've been nice to have been asked about it before taking me off of May.
    I was still planning on hosting that month.

  • markcase1964
    15 years ago

    Do you still need someone to host a month? I'll take one. Let me know.

  • dan_the_mailman
    15 years ago

    Mark, here's the complete list of months and hosts... July is open, and I had a great time hosting the July swap this past summer. Think of a theme, and go for it!

    December- "Chocolate Swap" Wendy/Sassybutterfly

    January - "Waiting for Spring" Linda/Lindaruzicka

    February - Diene

    March - "March Madness" Vic/vic_zn5

    April- "April's Fools!" Kathy/jaleeisa

    May - "Mayday, Mayday!" Dan and Bump/ dan_the_mailman

    June - "June Bugs" Melissa/hazelnutbunny

    If it's okay with everyone here, I'd still like to host the month of May, even though my co-host has changed.

    For those of you who don't know yet, Bump is my cat/pal/kid, but never my pet. At least, not in HIS viewpoint! I talk about him constantly, but that's because he's such an entertaining part of my life. LOL!

    LOL..I think Bump would make a great co-host, Dan! You can always say.."He just couldn't keep his paws off!"..LOL

    okay so that means we have left:

    July
    August
    September
    October
    November
    December

    You can always sign up and then decide your theme a little later..."pondering on which month I'd like"

  • markcase1964

    I've never done a swap before so someone will have to give me some guidance. But I would like to do August "Back to School" cause I will definitely need some cheering up then! And then some of you will be celebrating because the little darlings are going back to school!

    I was sitting here trying to figure out why I chose February and what my theme was going to be and I then remembered. I am going to host a true round robin in February.
    What that means is that I will start a box and it will land at your house, you can take anything you want out of the box but if you do, you must replace it with something similar (ie if you take seeds, put more seeds in, bulbs, same thing,...). It should be back in the mail within 24 hours so it can get to everyone before the month ends. You then post what you removed but not what you put in. You can take as much as you want in fact that makes it more fun if you replace it with similar stuff. the box will tell you where to send it next.
    If we get a large group, I will do two boxes so they can circulate within the month (February being the shortest).
    Just wanted people to start thinking about this.

    The months that don't have the theme's listed will be updated when the host has chosen one.

    I took my name off of September because I already had a month..duh. (sometimes I think I drink too much tea)..so Septmeber is up for grabs for someone who wants to host

    I finally decided on a theme for December 'Scents of the Season'.. it will be focused on anything and everything fragrant - flower seeds, bulbs, candles, lotions, sachets, etc etc etc. Just wanted to do an update! :D

    Bumping this to the first page and wondering if anyone has signed up for September and if everyone is still good to go on the future months?

  • jaleeisa

    Since we're almost complete with Bump's Mayday swap, I thought I'd bump this to the first page and make sure everyone is still set for the next few months :) Melissa? Mark? Becky?

    Kathy

  • hazelnutbunny
    14 years ago

    Yep, I'm ready and patiently waiting! :O)

    Kat~ Carol said she'd be happy to host September, and I know she runs a great swap. Might not want to let her bake the brownies, though......She makes some *questionable* flower arrangements after eating a few.... :P

  • proudgm_03
    14 years ago

    Yep, I'm still in. Haven't thought of my theme yet though.

  • dan_the_mailman

    Anyone know when the June swap will be posted? The May swap should be over next week sometime, so the June swap could really be posted at any time now. But, that's all up to Bunny! Hoppy Hosting!
