Who likes chocolate???


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:

**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 through Sunday 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. ;)

  9. 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?

  10. 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?
