Welcome to Litsy!

#latepost #BlitsyHMS #BHMS @sweetpealsd thank you so much for the beautiful and thoughtful gifts! I am so, so sorry that I totally flubbed being your swap buddy this year. Hopefully the package arrives today and you have a wonderful belated opening day! @Chelleo thank you as always for hosting, and for your added help this go round (and sorry again for causing such a headache!) I hope everyone had a lovely Black History Month & swap! ❤️🖤💚

#BlitsySwap package is out and on its way! #BHMS

@MoonWitch94 your #BHMS package is on its way to you it should arrive by Monday the latest. @Chelleo

Finally made it to mail my #BlitsySwap package! 😅 Should be arriving by Friday. #BHMS

I received #Blitsy swap box yesterday. I picked it up today. I think my match is @McKinney22 ? Thank you so much!!! 🥰

@Chelleo

It‘s here! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

My package from @TheBookHippie arrived today I can not wait to see what I got 🤗 @Chelleo #BHS

I found this tote on Etsy while I was searching for #Blitsy items. I can‘t pass up a good tote, so I figured I‘d share if anyone else was looking for items (or good totes 😉). Look what I found on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/609839575/black-history-tote-bag-african-american?r... This is the medium size

WOO it‘s almost Black History Month! This is my kick off #BlitsySwap post! But…I‘ve messed up a little bit. So, I‘m participating in one of the coolest Litsy swaps #BHMS by the lovely @Chelleo
I sent my package off this week and forgot to take a snap. But I can tell y‘all that it is headed to Suffolk, UK 💌📚✊🏽 things have been kinda crazy (way crazier than usual) and i think I coulda done a better job, but I hope this gives my match a smile😃

Starting mapping out 2023 already! Thanks so much @Chelleo for doing this again! Love this swap! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@KatieDid927 This MADE my day. I love love love everything. I so wanted the 1619 Project-thank you! The other books, too. The great mug, postcards (I write to so many in Litsy Love), the magnets, chocolate….and the Obaamas -❤️❤️❤️. What a fabulous swap. I am so grateful. Thank you so very much.
And thank you @Chelleo for organizing every Feb.
#Blitsy #BlistySwap #BlackHistoryMonthSwap

Oh @Chelleo what a lovely surprise, very unique and creative! Love it! Thank you so much for taking of your time to send this beautiful card and bookmark😍For me is more than a swap because I try to do like a month readathon. Until now, I have read 8 books by black authors and they have been amazing books. They motivate me to read more information of that event. I also buy things for my match and for myself from new artists to me. Thank you!🥰

Thank you Michelle! Black History is made every day, but I love having this swap every February.

It‘s here! Thank you @KatieDid927 🎉🎉🎉

THANK YOU @Chelleo both for being an amazing #blitsyhistorymonth host AND for my amazing package!! 😍 I wish I‘d taken a picture of the fabulous wrapping before tearing it open. I love these books, and I love that you chose a few for me! My shirt‘s wonderful—clearly you picked up on my love of black poets. I‘m happy you patronized black owned businesses/museums on my behalf. And of course the Obamas 💕 And a mug for my tea ✊🏽 So thoughtful 😊
