I like the idea of 4 weeks too. It will give us more time to get to know your Buddy by their posts on YT and more time to shop. I'm excited. Thanks for letting us do the GE!

Im fine with anything....I love the GE and had a blast.

I ordered some custom made clothes for my last GE buddy. I ordered it the same evening that I received our buddy. I didn't receive custom items until the very last day to ship. I would be in favor of making it 4 weeks.

I think sometimes maybe we do go a little overboard if that is what you want to call it.
But I know for me in the last gift exchange that I was in. I made something...put in the box, saw something on sale.....put it in the box, saw a few more things.......put them in the box, oh did I say saw a few more things on sale........ and put them in the box. Bought one for Annie, so I bought one for our buddy.....and put it in the box. Hmmm that's really cute, so of course I bought it.... and put it in the box.
Before I knew it the box was full. It was not done intenionally. It just happened. It was not done to make anyone else feel bad.
In my heart that is what I think we do, we do not pay attention to how much was spent, we just keep adding to the box. When the box is full or almost full we send it.

It is so much fun to see the pics weather or not your participate. Even though participating is alot of fun.

I also think it is fun to see what other people use. The hairclips that Annie got I would have never dreamed of to buy at the store( we don't go into the baby section any more at our house!!!) But these have turned out to be some of our most favorite clips and now I do have to go to the baby section :eek: :eek: :eek: Only to buy Annie hair prettys though :D
