March ss?

[Brandi]

No one has even brought up March ss. How hard is it to collect the names and what not for this. What should the dead line be etc...? I might be willing to maybe set up for April sence March is already here (short month and all) We could have April a "Spring clean" present. Like soaps, bubble bath or bath fizzies, rubber ducks, wash clothes. Or something to do with gardening or planting flowers? Will someone who has done the ss set up pm me and let me know what to do so I can decide if I have the time to do it.

Brandi:

I sent you a PM and attempted to describe how I organized the January SS gift exchange. I hope it makes sense. If not, let me know and I will try to clarify any of the "foggy" points.

I set my cut-off for the January SS exchange for the last week of December so that I had time to get names out. I thought it would also allowed those who participated to have plenty of time to shop and ponder their gift selections.

I like your idea of "spring cleaning." I see this as a great opportunity to hunt for locally made products. Maybe one could also include their favorite Easter candy in their package as well.

I would personally avoid plants/bulbs etc for what grows in your neck of woods may not survive in Maine or Norway. Also, if I'm not mistaken shipping plants to other countries is a big 'no no" due to the many risk factors involved (possible spread of diseases, introduction of non-native plants, spread of insects, etc).

If you decide to undertake this fun project let us know for I want to participate (my checkbook allows for this every other month).
