Welcome to Litsy!

A day late but...

1. 14
2. Too much of a loaded question with lots of triggers.
3. Nature

I tag @NataliePatalie and @Mancantrash (you changed your name).

@oOArankaOo I love that we had very different ideas of how to do this swap and everything that you sent. I cannot wait for it to cool down so I can try out the recipes! I have been trying to keep away from the sweets because they will go fast once I open them. Also, how did you know that I LOVE notebooks with graphs instead of lines?! I am super late posting this but so glad for all of it. Thanks @MicrobeMom @readinginthedark #hometownswap

I‘ve been to Florida many times (Orlando, Cocoa Beach, Tampa), but never to Jacksonville! I cannot thank you enough @Madamereginald for all the amazing goodies in this box!! I have wanted a Funko Pop for AGES and was SO EXCITED to see these in my box!! I love all things Disney! I also loved the treats from Sweet Pete‘s and already tried some 😁 I can‘t wait to read the books from a local author. I think I need to visit Jacksonville! #hometownswap

Ooh- look what just arrived after dinner! Exciting! Thanks, @Elle_Skeldon #HometownSwap #justintime #yay

Just opened my #HometownSwap box and @debthmpsn did an amazing job. She also included a note with each item describing why it matched her home town. We also have the same taste in books. We both sent each other A Discovery of Witches without either one of us knowing it. I can not wait to read my books. Thank you so much. @readinginthedark @MicrobeMom

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity @Endowarrior21 !! I love the soap, and I am about to go brew some iced tea while I peruse MA maps and museums! Also, thank you for the emails with pics of the placed you love. It was a great idea and much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your hometown with me! 😊📚👍🏻💚🗺

Thank you so much @4thhouseontheleft for my amazing things for #hometownswap !!!
I love all the books and the moonshine and cheer wine are all me! My son said the honey is for him but he's willing to share! Lol!
Such amazing goodies - thanks again! ❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀
And thanks to @MicrobeMom @readinginthedark for such a fun swap!

Seeing it is after midnight here I opened my box from @Kelican17 and wow thank you so much I love all of it #hometownswap @readinginthedark

It‘s here! It‘s here! Can‘t wait to open tomorrow!!!! 😁😁😁#hometownswap @Madamereginald @readinginthedark @MicrobeMom

I just got home from class and look what has arrived! My #hometownswap! @MicrobeMom @readinginthedark

@GoodForCirculation did you receive your package? It says delivered but the address on the tracking doesn't match what's on my receipt from the post office so now I'm worried.

Sorry for the last minute update, everyone! I've been out of town and super swamped lately, but mostly just not motivated to be on my phone much. Anyway...opening day is tomorrow! If you haven't received your package or heard from your swapmate that it's on the way, please contact me or @MicrobeMom ! As far as I know, there have only been a couple of issues, which are being resolved. But I don't want to miss anyone. Get excited!#HometownSwap

One #hometownswap box received, one #hometownswap box sent! Thanks, @TK421 - your package is supposed to be there on Monday! #hs @readinginthedark @MicrobeMom

My #HometownSwap box arrived @Jerdencon ! 🎉🎉 Can‘t wait for the 8th! 💕💕

Guess what‘s headed your way, fellow reader? Hope this makes the recipient of my hometown swap reads smile! Thanks, @readinginthedark and @MicrobeMom for organizing! #hometownswap #justmailed #TXauthors

It‘s here!!!!!! #hometownswap

My #hometownswap is ready to send out tomorrow! I'm so excited and thanks so much for putting this together @readinginthedark and @MicrobeMom

My box arrived and looks safe and sound!
Can't wait to open it on 8/8.
Put your box in the mail today so should be there soon - hopefully 2 days. Please excuse the lack of wrapping paper - I packed everything up and sealed the box and totally forgot about it! Im losing it! Lol!
This was a fun swap! #hometownswap @4thhouseontheleft @readinginthedark @MicrobeMom

Look what arrived @Pogue I open the box right away and was so thrilled to receive items from California and Washington State. I‘m excited about the books, coffee and chocolate...3 of my favorite things. And the crochet bag is exquisite. Thank you for being a wonderful swap partner. #HometownSwap

My #Hometownswap box is on its way to you @Jerdencon !! I had so much fun shopping for this one (and learned a few new things about my adopted hometown along the way!)

I was bad and did not post this when I got it. Work has been herd this past week. #hometownswap @rustoryhuf

My #hometownswap box is in the mail headed for @debthmpsn I hope you like it. #HometownSwap @readinginthedark @MicrobeMom

#HometownSwap

I SO loved this #hometownswap it‘s all wrapped up and ready to be boxed and sent across the ocean!

Hey all! Just wanted to give a little shout that we have one month until opening date! We've talked to everyone now and many people have already sent out their packages. It's getting exciting! If you have any questions or concerns or just want someone to be excited about what you're doing, please contact @MicrobeMom or me here or via the emails we used for your swap info. #HometownSwap

Look what arrived yesterday! Woo Hoo! Now to be a good little Litten and not open it until August 8. Luckily I'll be away on holidays for half of the wait, so it will be easier to avoid temptation.

Thank you @judybskt!!! And thank you to @MicrobeMom and @readinginthedark for organizing the #HometownSwap!!

@Kelican17 hello dear I am the person sending to you for the #hometownswap I am just wondering if you like tea? And would you mind two books by authors from my state? Plus any food allergies? I hope you are staying cool this week 😁

#Litsymail is the best! Big thanks @Kaye #jb

@MicrobeMom and I have been hard at work making matches, and we‘ve finally finished! Thank you all for being so patient! You should receive your email sometime this weekend if you haven‘t already. Please email us back to confirm your match. And if you don‘t receive an email by Tuesday but thought you signed up, email one of us or comment on this post. Happy swapping friends! #HometownSwap

To everyone who signed up for the #HometownSwap we‘re working on the matches, I promise! There are a lot of factors and it takes some time. When we send out the match emails, I‘ll post about it so you‘ll know to keep an eye out! 😉

Yay we have reached out 60 participants and the #hometownswap is now closed. Thank you to all those that signed up. You will be receiving an email soon with you match! Thanks again!

***Update: Full! Thanks to everyone who signed up—we‘ll have your matches out soon!***

Just a heads-up that we have 12 spots left!

#hometownSwap

I LOVE sharing about my tiny island #Singapore... Signing up for 2 #Litsyswaps in a Day! Yikes... Then again my next vacation trip is all about book shopping! Lol

I‘m super excited about this swap AND that it isn‘t until August. (I have two swaps in June). This will be so fun to buy for! @readinginthedark @MicrobeMom

This is the season for great swaps! Love the idea of this one - learning more about where everyone is from is going to be such fun. Head over to @readinginthedark or @MicrobeMom to sign up. #hometownswap

I promised myself NO MORE swaps until I‘ve read the swap gift books that are already threatening to overwhelm my shelf ... but this one is such a clever idea that I couldn‘t resist. 🎁📚💸

Go see @readinginthedark and @MicrobeMom for details and to sign up! Share your hometown pride with another Litten 🤘🏻

@readinginthedark and I are sponsoring the Hometown swap. The idea is to send books and bookish items that are relevant to your hometown, nearby city, or state. Whatever you think makes where you live interesting. See readinginthedark‘s post and fill out the google form to participate. More information can also be found there! #hometownswap

After much planning, I bring you: the #HometownSwap! We‘ll be sending books and other items from our hometowns, states, or countries. Get to know more about your fellow Littens and where they live! Please review the @LitsySwaps guidelines before signing up to participate. Sign-ups end on June 6 or at 60 participants, whichever comes first, and the open date will be August 8. And pass this on!
