So, I found a great adoption support website called Adoption Voices. I joined five different groups, and it has been wonderful for me, being in touch with people who have been through literally the same situations that we have.
Anyway, some members just did a chocolate exchange this month. And I'm stealing the idea. Hey, it's winter, it's cold, and I think we all deserve some fun personal mail- and what better mail than chocolate, right? So here's the deal:
Anyway, some members just did a chocolate exchange this month. And I'm stealing the idea. Hey, it's winter, it's cold, and I think we all deserve some fun personal mail- and what better mail than chocolate, right? So here's the deal:
**This exchange is open to people I know and friends of friends. I will verify that each person is somehow linked to someone I know. Does that make sense?
**It would be a $5-$10 limit. (You pick your favorite chocolate!)
**You would have to be willing to email me your mailing address so I can pass it on to whoever 'draws' your name. (I'll draw for everyone)
**Anyone who wants in, leave a comment.
**You have throughSunday MONDAY to join- just leave a comment letting me know you're in.
**You have two weeks to get your chocolate in the mail.
**If you know others who would like to participate, send them to my blog.
I hope this works out- I think it could be really fun!

ETA: I want to be clear- you will not be posting your mailing address on my blog- you will email it to lorz.kangas @ gmail.com.
ETA: You can add something besides chocolate to the package- use your creativity, but please put at least one piece of chocolate. ;)

Okay, twist my arm! :o) I'm in!
Yes, I will be playing Mari- I'm not passing up fun mail and chocolate! LOL
I love this- people from all parts of my life joining- so fun! When I pass on each mailing address, I'll let everyone know who they got and how I know them. :)
me too! i don't know if you know how you know me...y'know? i'm 3 months older than your eldest sister/sib :)
E- of course I know you! I may not have seen you in years, but I feel like I know you through virtual socializing!
Hey old buddy-still my buddy, right? I am SO in :) Sounds like the best kind of mail.
Okay, fine. I'll play. :P
L- you don't have to play if you don't want to...
You can all enjoy enough chocolate for me!
Sure, I'll be in. :)
Shoot. If you had done this any other time, I'd be in. Life's crazy busy. But I really want to. When's the "due date" for the chocolate?
Mindi- I'll get everyone there names sometime on Tuesday, and everyone has two weeks to get the package in the mail. If you want, I can tell the person who has you to get in the mail sooner. What's the latest you could go?
count me in...oh and hi and love you and all good things......sis amy:)
Hey lady - sounds like a fun idea. Count me in!
Have a great day.
FYI: Amy = Amy Loukus
Mamie Loukus really mostly wants just plain old Brach's candy stars. She loves those.
Count me in Laura Sounds like a cool idea!!!
