When should matches be sent out- is a week enough time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736934 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 18:26:42 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1736934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: Awww thanks babe, that'd be great if you don't mind :)</p> <p>I was thinkig of making it very similar to Christmas? $25 limit, handmade allowed, not sure how people feel about food stuffs (like a bag of chocolate)? Two weeks to ship from point of being assigned a partner? You've done this - what do you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736907 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 18:14:48 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1736907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: it's super easy to coordinate! But I can do it if you'd like- just let me know details like price range, exchange date, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736816 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 16:52:55 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1736816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaPhoenix: Great! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736807 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 16:48:34 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1736807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I love the idea! Who doesn't like random presents! lol<br /> If this thing turns into a go, I'm in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736560 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:28:02 +0000 babycanuck 1736560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done something like this and would love to participate. Sounds like fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736546 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:23:34 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1736546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaPhoenix: I haven't coordinated one (and I hope someone will coordinate for me since I don't know what I'm doing ;) ) but I've participated in one before! They used Elfster and it randomly assigned partners. Then you'd look to see what your partner likes/dislikes, and within the price range limit, you put together a goodie box! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736535 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:20:41 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1736535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never done one yet.

Which is fine with me :) I love getting happy mail for the kids but I rarely get any happy mail for myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736473 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 14:57:14 +0000 X0X0X0 1736473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Summer themed sounds fun </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736438 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 14:45:56 +0000 cascademom 1736438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love swaps. Adults only sounds good to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736435 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 14:45:36 +0000 Kimberlybee 1736435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure sounds like fun! It's hard to get Christmas themed items right now so I vote for a summer or nonChristmas themed item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736426 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 14:43:00 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1736426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds fun!

(No LOs so can't participate) My Christmas-obsessed DH is enough for me. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736075 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 12:42:41 +0000 avivoca 1736075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love a good swap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-up-for-a-christmas-in-july-swap#post-1736071 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 12:41:39 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1736071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you're probably going to call me crazy ("You're crazy!") but I've been thinking about Christmas. Probably because just this last week, DS has started singing "Jingle Bells" whenever the mood strikes him. Where he's heard it recently, I have nooooo idea... </p> <p>But it's been a while since we've had a swap around here. And I feel like we all could use a little love right about now. Mid summer, heat waves, trying to tackle summer boredom single handedly, etc... So why don't we have a Christmas in July swap. We can do something Christmas-y themed or we can do summer themed, we can do it by LO(s) or by adults for adults, or both!</p> <p>What do you think? :) </p>
