FOTESS: Hostess List for 2018

8 years ago
last modified: 8 years ago

It's time for FOTESS members to start thinking about hosting for the
upcoming year. Shirley and I send a big thank to everyone who hosted
a swap for FOTESS this past year. Everyone did a really great job and
the ideas were really creative. We really appreciate the time and
effort you gave for FOTESS!

If you would like to host a swap in 2018, just fill in your name on the
month you want and re-post the list. If you can't figure it out, let
me know which month you want and I'll post it for you.

If you haven't hosted before and would like to try, we'll help in any
way we can, but I will say that I love to see the creative ideas
everyone comes up with and get a surprise when it's posted. Remember
that our group name is “Friends of the Earth SIMPLE Swaps” so the
theme doesn't have to be complicated or expensive for those who
participate.

If you sign up and life throws you a curve, just let us know and I'm
sure someone will be willing to trade months with you or simply fill
in. I can take another month if necessary, but I want you to have the
opportunity to select while there are lots of choices.

    I'm hostess for May and June and started thinking about what I would plan. There will be TWO swaps beginning in May. One will end in May and one will continue through to June. I think the one that continues into June will take more than a month to complete because it will be round robin style. Anyway, just letting you know now because it's a bit different. (Of course, how long the round robin will take will vary depending on how many people sign up and how many days it takes for you to mail package to the next person.) We'll try to keep it moving!

    Okay, I'm not telling more than that ... just watch for them as we come to the end of April.

      Sorry the lines are copying so weird. I copied from from last year's post and I guess I shouldn't have done that. Trying to line it up again.

      Well, August usually has me hiding inside from the heat - so being on the laptop more then will probably work again this year.

      An update for the list. I'll be hostess for May, taking that over from Annie. I know I'll enjoy being hostess that month before our hot weather takes over!

      Jeanne

    • 8 years ago

      I should probably mention here that I took April and Shirley plans to take August.

    • 8 years ago

      So sorry all. I'm not posting a theme for the June swap now. It will be posted closer to June. I decided that with two swaps running at one time, it was going to be a bit confusing. Therefore June will not be a round robin or a swap that continues for 2 months, but it will be GOOD so watch for it to be posted later. The May swap was just posted!
