the exchange is now closed!

Thanks to everyone who joined, we have 68 people participating in this fun exchange! This round is now closed, but we'll do another one later in the year!

Long name, true, but I think this is going to be fun. There are so many friends to be made in the blogging community, and I hope that this will introduce us to some new and incredible people. Plus, we'll each get a package in the mail! To hopefully get more people on board, I've added a button to the sidebar on the right and provided the code so you can add it to your blog or site!

Here's the idea: Each participant will be paired with another, and we will send that person a little something that tells them a bit about us, along with a handwritten note about it (and you). Send them something you make, an item you collect, a polaroid from your stash, etc. To join, please send me an email at kissparrotkiss@aol.com with your name, mailing address and blog address. I'm not sure how long we'll keep this running (maybe into February???), but I want to be sure we have lots of friends joining in! Once this round has come to an end, I'll email you the name, address and blog of your partner so you can send your special package to your new blog buddy!

my fun (i hope) idea, steal my music

So, in my last post I mentioned an idea that I got from the super rad package that Christin sent me. You know how other bloggers do book exchanges or ornament exchanges? Maybe someone else is already doing this, but I was thinking it would be neat to start a "get to know me knick knack exchange."

Since there are so many blogging friends to be made, I thought we could get paired up with someone (a new someone each time) and send an item that told them a little about us. For example, if you make things, send a sample, or if you like polaroids, send one you took, or if you like birds (I'm using myself as an example), you could send a little bird knick knack or something with feathers. Nothing expensive or difficult, just a fun little thing that says something about you. Then to really make it personal, add a hand written note about the item, about yourself, about anything you want!

Maybe this is a silly idea, so I'm hoping to hear your feedback. I thought it would be a fun excuse to send and receive special packages, and it could introduce us to bloggers we haven't yet met or get to know some a little better.

I'm still not able to upload all of the songs I'd hoped to share (still having ftp problems I can't figure out), but here are a few for you to love, hate or steal...your choice!
