| Maybeee! I am really nervous though cause I don't want anyone comparing my past GE's to this cause I don't think I will be able to spend as much as I have done in the past if I do join...then I feel bad...

I am still kinda worried about my buddy not being satisfied, since I went CRAZY in the last GE...like really crazy...but I think if people honestly are saying "I accept that the limit is $40 and not to expect more than that" then how can they be disappointed? That's their fault then, not yours! $40 doesn't buy much these days but with some imagination you can stretch it I am truly okay with that minimum and don't expect more. It's the thoughtfulness put into each gift that makes it special to me!

| Courtney please do not worry about what you have spent in the past...I think the general consensus is that we want people to have fun doing the GE and that the majority if not all of us will just be excited to get any gift and not worry about how many items are in our basket or what the costs were....plus its very likely you could get a newbie and they are not gonna know what you spent..its the thought that counts!!!!!

| This is just it!! Grrrr!! Too many people are so worried their buddies are going to be disappointed thus driving people away!! Just like it almost did me this time! We have to put an end to this!! I don't care if you paint a Campbell's soup can with old nail Polish and call it a bow holder as long as it was made with love!! Money shouldn't matter! Join the fun!! And don't worry!!

I think the next GE would be better for me cause even though there is SOOO many pups in this one, if we keep the philosophy going about just having fun and not trying to make it into a quantity driven GE, then I feel like they'll be just as many people joining in the next one. I mean I do like small GE's but I haven't done a GE with lots of people since Christmas 2011 when I first entered it with Geno. After that, it got less and less people and I miss the huge amounts of people that would enter. We also have gotten soooo lucky to have such amazing buddies (Theresa & Riley, Thuy & Tessa, and Aymee & Katie Scarlett)!!!

| It REALLY depends on the weight...and if you want it insured. I think mine was $30ish because I got a signature and insurance and had a couple of heavy things.

| hmmm I better sit this one out though. I got a lot on my plate next month and even the stress factor of the GE has been lowered, I still am gonna be on stress overload with the rest of my life. I told Mia that we can do the May GE and she gave me a billion kisses. The cost of shipping also depends on how you ship it. I always ship using Fedex and sometimes they get one pass be and give me Fedex express shipping. Now I make sure to request FedEx Ground. I think when I shipped to CA in Dec., the cost was only like 30 bucks and I had 2 boxes to ship that had a lot of things in it.
