Geeze time went fast!! I thought sign ups were in February...lol

But you're right. Sign ups should be this month.

Maybe everyone really is "hungover" from the extended one we had this time lol

The more I think about it, the more I think I will have to wait until the next one. Mandie has her dental tomorrow and 2 teeth pulled. Then her bday friday. Then I have the Yorkie Meet-up for the Alabama folks a week from Saturday. Not to mention taxes.

I think I'm stretched to my limit at the moment lol

that was the thread from the Christmas one I was in, sign ups were in Oct. gifts were bought in Nov then Dec we did the smile boxes

Last exchange
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yt-...-sign-ups.html
sign ups posted in January, gifts sent in Feb, smile boxes in March.

So following suit if things have not changed sign ups should be now, gifts sent in May and thank you's in Junes.

Then sign ups in July
Boxes in Aug
Smileboxes in Sep

then the cycle begins again
sign up Oct
boxes in Nov
thank you in Dec.

The way I see if with 4 gift exchanges you have something going every month since each exchange seems to last close to three months from sign up date to completion.

you got it,

We'll have to sit out of this one... we're in the process of prepping a new home and then moving. Just no time... Sorry Zeusy... But I'll sign up both for the next one. We'll be in KY for the first week of Aug so I'll be able to branch out to other pet stores and boutiques that aren't local.

Yeah sign ups should have been this month. I remember having our buddy already during May cause that is Geno's birthday month. Tessa and Thuy sent Geno a cute little birthday teaser last year A cute little bandana to wear!

I want to get Mia into one more and than I'm prob going to take a long hiatus. I have a lot of debt slowly piling up and I'm like the worst at finances. Plus I need to start thinking about big expenses in the upcoming future once I get my masters (ie new car, my own house, ect). Not sure when we'll do it again though. August would be nice but I am going to San Francisco for vaca and then supposedly Las Vegas a week later so we'll see.

Wow that is a lot of June B'days ! (DH's is the 21st)


It seems like people have a lot going on and are skipping the next GE. Im thinking about it but will have to see. If we do join it will be Quincy's turn in honor of his 11th birthday.

[MyDearSam]

I would love to participate in a GE, but sadly it looks like I'll have to wait until Christmas. Right now I'm saving every extra penny toward having Sam neutered and Piper spayed, plus getting my daughter ready for her first overseas trip this summer. Kids are expensive, no matter how many legs they have!

I probably will not be back in until Feb next year. For this exchange spring is so busy I plant zillions of flowers, I just don't have the time to be on the computer shopping and sewing and putting out clues and teesers, then I will be gone for most of the first half of June so smile boxes and thank yous would be hard. With July August summer is so short in MI I hope to be boating then, and Christmas was such a busy time that the whole exchange was stressful. Can't believe that I have to wait that long, but I will be watching

LOL. I hear you. We're out on the next one also.

I think I already spend enough time on the computer as is, although I won't be planting flowers ha ha. We are going to Nebraska next month, where I get my bully stocks and planning a trip to CA in the summer months. As for Christmas it's managing and coordinating the holiday card exchange but I will try to squeeze one in somewhere. For the most part, I will be watching on the sidelines and vending is just as much fun as being in the GE.

I think I am going to sit this one out too. We got nailed with taxes this year and I just quit my job, so as of next Friday, I will be officially retired! So budgeting will be adjusted due to that. I will enter Jack in one of them before the end of the year and depending on how things go, may enter both of them for the last one of the year.
