[RobinC]

I'm with Peggy C.!! I feel so honored to be matched with a top 10 poster! ;)

This is going to be a lot of fun. :)

[KathrynY]

Very cool - my partner is m4star. :cool: Thanks so much Lara!

[Mamasue]

Thanks Lara for all your work and hope that your vacation was a relaxing one. ;) Is there a date set for sending our package?

Molli....I want your curls! :D :D

[Gracie]

Thanks Lara! I'm new to this so do we send our partner a PM to get her address? And what's the date that we need to have it in the mail by?

This is fun!

[Molli526]

Thanks Lara!

Sue, this is going to be so fun!

[lhall]

Cool! I'll make sure give Muriel something special from Mariel :D

Thank Lara for organizing this!

Leigh

[lakelady1]

I'm delighted -- and want to find something special for our Master Organizer of the Swap!

[beejayw1]

...so what to get a Horsey lady from the Southwest???

Hm.......

[Dewey]

And I got Diana. Hmmm, maybe a copy of "Miss Manners" for her guest bedroom...? OK, just kidding. Diana, I'll email you later today with some questions!

[Sarah]

I *should* be packing, writing report cards, getting ready for my summer course, etc., etc., but this is a lot more fun!! :D

Debie, I PM'd you.

Sarah

[badunnin]

Yeah! I'm so excited!

[Melman]

Yeah! I'm paired with Tyra in California! I love these cross-country swaps! Thanks, Lara, for all your hard work getting the swap organized!

Tyra, I've pm'd you.

[Wendy w]

Hooray! Thanks Lara for your work on this.
ISAIAH30_18, I'll be in touch soon! :)

I think you would need to PM her through Ed.

Some have asked about getting addresses, etc from people. I think the best way to do that is to PM your partner. Lots of people talked about doing a cookbook swap, but I think that really should be up to the individual partners.

I think in one of the earlier threads I had suggested having your swap package (whatever it may be) sent by around June 15. That way there should be time to think about what to do and get it in the mail. Of course, if you need to do a different timeline, that seems like the sort of thing that you can work out with your partner.

Thanks also for all of the really nice PM's that I have received - that has been so nice of you! :)

I had fun matching people up - I was glad to do it!

Already have it. :D Along with back issues of Southwest Art and various horse publications...

[Dewey]

You know, after I posted that I thought "I hope Diana knows I don't mean for HER to read, but for her GUESTS to peruse!"

OK, so I can't get rid of old magazines/books by declaring them "swap gifts" -- back to the drawing board!:D

[JHaris]

Thanks Lara for all your hard work. I just logged on the hotel computer here in Budapest. Tried to pm my partner, but it is coming up wrong name. Help. Will try to log on later.

\Joan

[RobinC]

Is there a "ship by" date for the exchange, or are we to work it out with our partners? :)

[greysangel]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I'm glad I checked this board today!

PM me Dolores and we'll get chattin!

J

[AndreaU]

kima (maureen, right?)-- Greetings from New York!! Looks like an "international," cross-coastal swap for us!! I'm so excited. We're both teachers, too- how cool is that?? PM me when you get a chance. :)

[misstapioca]

Hi Lisa, just send me a email. I tried to pm you but your box is full. This is going to be so much fun!

ROFL! Actually, the Guest From H*LL is getting a copy of Miss Manners (she actually asked for it :eek: )

[sneezles]

Thanks Lara for setting this up! And I have emailed Julia1Pin! Looking forward to getting my package ready!

Joan, I apologize - I had her name misspelled. I corrected it in the list, but wanted to let you know that it should have been jenn anne

I emailed her and let her know that you were out of the country for a little while, just so she knows.

Lara

[karamel]

Lara, thank you for organizing this fun event! :D
This is so exciting!!
Oskie, I pm-ed ya!

[shoefling]

Yeah! Catharine is my swap partner! (I PM'd you.) I am so excited for this and looking forward to getting my package ready!

Lara, thank you so much for all the work you did to organize this!

Sarah

[ErinM]

I got Susan (slknight)!

I'll just make this easy....send me the baby for awhile! :D ;)

Off to PM...

[Vicanddi]

Leisa M, I tried to pm you and got the message that your box is full. Let me know when it frees up and I will resend. Thanks.

[Guest]

Lara,

Thanks for putting this together. I am looking forward to swapping with Ed and learning more about the regional specialties from Minnesota.

Ed,

If you see this, I sent you a PM.

Miranda

[ebobbitt]

I'm your e-mail partner! Check your pm's.

[TLee4]

My partner and I are both "new swappers". Is there a general price range people have worked within in the past?

Thanks!
Terri

Ah-ha a couple of virgins! Yes? You were trying so hard to avoid that weren't you? Sorry. We've gone with a $15 limit previosly if I recall. If I'm wrong someone will speak up I'm sure.

[mst]

akairo-

I sent you a PM. Lara- thanks for taking the time to do this...

[oskie]

Ok, I tried to send off a cheery happy "yay for the swap" message a few days ago when I was on the road and now I think my laptop ate it.

Which makes me fear that the PM I sent my wonderful swap partner (Karamel) also is lost somewhere in cyberspace... :(

So, just for the record, Kara- no, you do not have a delinquent partner (just a semi-computer-illiterate one!), I'll PM you again, and Hooray for the Swap!

[Clover]

I PM'd you.

[dcornelius]

I got Jazzyjas! Pm should be in your box by now Jas! I am so excited!So are we leaving it up to the individual partners what the exchange should be or did we decide spacifically on one thing?

[pattyp.]

pattyp here:confused: :confused: :confused:

[badunnin]

Pattyp did you sign up in the last few weeks?

[pattyp.]

No, I guess I've been too caught up in my family goings on, which I could do without. Sorry.:( :(

[tigermorris]

so, I have just beenreading about the various swap packages from your partners...
is it too late to particpate?
sounds like a lot of fun.

Thanks, Terri
