Alexa - Maybe

I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, Ann_t, but I haven't signed up -- I wanted to see the rules before deciding! I'll think about it...

Ann - I am sorry but I don't qualify for this swap because of rule #1. I will continue to post in the future to be able to qualify for the next one...

Silvia

Silvia, you have posted quite a bit, more than 20 times since you started posting to the CF in October. So you can participate if you would like to.

~Ann

It has been suggested by a couple of regular swap participants that because we have a number of new participants on the Cooking Forum, that we relax the three month rule to two months.

Ann

Cool, I will do it.

It seems like once there was a thread on everyone's likes and dislikes, colors, etc. and that would be helpful this time too.

Please, don't go to any trouble. I like pre-TAG Heuers, Breitlings, and Girard-Perregaux, but a lil' ol' Rolex will do.

I am trying to lose weight, so while sweets will be welcomed, I'd have to beat myself like a house-elf.

Old stuff is cool.

I would love to participate.

Ann, after giving this more thought I'm going to withdraw from this swap but will be joining in on the dinner.

We will be in Florida for February and the logistics of shopping, mailing and receiving will be challenging. Next time for sure!

I haven't been able to participate in a swap for ages, so I'm in! Will have to pass on the dinner, however.

I answered on the thread in Conversations but I wanted you to know here in Exchanges that I'm in for the swap and a maybe for the virual dinner. Can't wait!!

Ann - I am looking forward to participate in the swap and hopefully I can do the dinner too.

Silvia

I am looking forward to my first swap!

Thanks Ann for all the work that you put into these swaps.

Cathy/Mustangs

This sounds fun! I am in - a winter themed swap is certainly appropriate to central Maine right now.

Sorry, but I am crushed schedule wise between now and the end of Feb.... no swapping for me! But I will participate in the dinner if at all possible.

Have fun everyone!

Alexa

OK, count me in. The swaps make me obsess over what I send and whether the recipient will like it or use it. My normal theme is "stuff in a box", LOL, so maybe I can at least tie three items together into a Winter theme of some type....

I assume that a set is still considered one item, as in past swaps? A set of glasses or soupbowls or a set of napkins/matching tablecloth, or dishtowels and potholders in the same pattern, all considered one item?

Annie

Cathy, I'm happy that you are going to play again. You to Annie.

Agmss, Please send me your full name and address.

Annie as long as it comes as a set, it is considered one item.

The winter theme will really challenge my imagination...it's in the low 80's here all week. LOL

Cathy, No reason why you can't plan your gift box around a "Florida Winter".

~Ann

Sounds like you fun but I am afraid I may nit meeit the minimum number of posts

Mustangs, I wish you could send the Florida winter to me in a box!

I'm looking forward to this :-)

I knew something was calling me to check CF, lol. Count me in.

Hey Katie, I was thinking of emailing you today, just in case you hadn't notice we were having a swap.

I'm assuming your address hasn't changed?

~Ann

I would love to join in the swap and the dinner.
I have not done a swap before but I browse regularly and post occasionally. I used to post under a different name until a couple of months ago.

Lalitha

Lalitha, In order to participate in this swap you need to have been an active participant on the CF since November 1st, 2012 and have posted a number of times. You have only been a member since Decemer 10th, 2012 under the name of GWlolo. Email me and let me know what other name we might know you by.

Ann

Anne, did you get my email? Just checking.

Lalitha, I received your email and I've added your name to the list.

Please send me your full name and address.

Thanks

Ann

Ann, I think I lost my head about participating in this! What was I thinking? I don't want any more stuff, as great as it might be, and have asked friends and family to not buy me anything for gifts, so why would I do this? I guess because it sounds so fun, kinda like Santa finding you through cyberspace. If it's not too late, please take me off the list and I'll enjoy vicariously (as I have in reading about previous swaps) everyone else's bounty.

If it's too late and you've paired me, or need an even # of people, I'll still do it (with enthusiasm).

Thank you!

Bumblebeez, Yes, I did get your email. Thanks ~Ann

OMG...I'm so excited ;-)! Still unsure about the virtual dinner but a swapping we will go!

Ann, thanks for thinking of me. I thought about passing, but, geez...there are certain traditions to uphold, hehe.

Yes, everything is the same.

Okay, everyone should have received an email with the name of their swap partner.

Have fun!!

~Ann

Whoo Hoo!
