OK mamas, I actually stole this idea from the December thread <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/bag.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Bag">: but it looked like a really nice and fun idea. Is anyone interested? I'll do all of the coordinating for those who would like to participate.<br><br><br>
INSTRUCTIONS:<br>
So here at MDC, there's a whole section of the Trading Post devoted to swapping. How that works is you post an In Search Of (ISO) list. Since this is a welcome to the 2nd trimester swap, you could ask for maternity stuff, favorite foods or drinks, art projects, baby clothes/diapers/gear, stuff to pamper yourself, gift certificates, etc. Specify what condition you'd like things in.<br><br>
Then, you'd look through people's ISO lists to see who you have stuff to send to. You look for one person that you have $15-$20 worth of stuff (always best to error on the side of generosity) to send them (before shipping).<br><br>
After all the ISOs are posted, then you figure out the people that you want to send something to, you PM me with your picks (choose 2-3 people so that I have an easier time matching people up but you will only send a package to ONE mama) and include YOUR name & address.<br><br>
When I have all the picks, I'll PM you with the person you'll be sending to along with their name/address.<br><br>
From there you'll have a week to get your package together and mail it with a Delivery Confirmation.<br><br>
Any questions? Any interest? I'm going to go small and set the limit at 15 person limit for this.<br><br><b>IMPORTANT DATES:</b><br>
Monday June 6th - deadline to let me know you'd like to participate and to PM me with the 2-3 mamas whose ISO list you can best fulfill<br>
Friday June 10th - I will notify you of your match<br>
Friday June 17th - You mail your package to your matched mama!<br><br>
Questions and participation messages should go in this thread, so that others can see your question and any replies and your ISO list, and you can PM me when you have chosen the person you'd like to send a package to.<br><br>
If this works, it could be a good ol' time! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin">
