Carolyn11215 What gorgeous packaging!! 5y

Chelleo @Carolyn11215 Thanks! I was on a mission to find something in line with the theme. It was much harder than I imagined!! 5y

Chrissyreadit Love your packages! I‘m excited too- I really hope my person likes the items I sent. 5y

riversong153 Beautiful!! 5y

tracey38 Love the wrappings! 5y

CSeydel So excited! I have been shopping hard :) Question, I am mailing a box of books/gifts, but I‘m also ordering one gift from Etsy. Do you think it‘s ok to have that item shipped directly to the recipient? Seems silly to pay to ship it to myself, then ship it to the recipient. What‘s the protocol? 5y

Chelleo @CSeydel totally fine. You may want to add a note for the item that‘s being shipped directly from the seller (and/or add a note in your box saying something else is arriving separately) 5y

CSeydel Oh good! I put “Attn: Litsy #BHMSwap” in the address field, after the street address. Hoping that will make sense. But I‘ll put a note in my box so they know it‘s coming. Thanks for organizing! And - your packages are gorgeous 😍 5y

Click on this hashtag (#BlitsyHistoryMonth) or visit @Chelleo to sign up. U.S. only for the inaugural year, but if you're not in the U.S., go express your interest anyway, and maybe the #LitsySwaps fairies will make it worldwide next year. ;)

Chelleo Thanks for sharing! 🤗 5y

MoniqueReads305 Thanks for tagging me 5y

Yeah_I_Read Yes! 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I love this idea!! But alas I'm not a US Litten. Maybe next time around. 💕 5y

Chelleo @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I know 🥺 Im hoping I can get through this first one in order to figure out all the logistics so I can open it up internationally next year. 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Chelleo That's totally fair. I hope it's a success, I really do love the concept. 5y

Mitch @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego me too...I‘ll be with you next year when you cross borders. It sound an amazing swap..have fun, can‘t wait to see the choices and add to my TBR! 5y

cocomass You did it!!!! Signing up now! 5y

Chelleo @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @mitch Thanks for the support! I‘ll make a note of your interest for next year! If there‘s enough interest I may cave and open up this year‘s swap #suchasofty 5y

Chelleo @cocomass I did! 😬😳Glad you‘re on board! 5y

Liatrek Just signed up 😊 This is awesome Thank you! 5y

Shvonne Signed up. 💜 5y

silentrequiem Yes! Will sign up later. 5y

Mitch @Chelleo don‘t cave! Do what you feel comfortable with ! ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

KathyWheeler I don‘t do swaps because I know myself — I‘ve gone into them with good intentions and then don‘t follow through. However, I will be looking at the choices with real interest in order to add to my TBR. Have fun! 5y

Jess7 Thanks for tagging me. I‘m out this time, but I think it is a great idea and I‘m happy to share! I have read several books that I think would be great for this though! this one is excellent and it hasn‘t gotten as much attention lately because it was published at the beginning of 2018:

So You Want to Talk About Race

AmyG This is a wonderful idea. Gives ne an opportunity to send a Litten one of my most favorte books. Thanks @Chello for doing this swap. 5y

RaimeyGallant I'm in. 5y

RaimeyGallant Oh darn it. I'm in Canada. 5y

Mimi28 I‘m in!! And the open date is on my birthday!! 5y

Chrissyreadit Signing up now! 5y

LapReader This Australian wishes she could participate. 5y

S3V3N Signed up 5y

Chelleo @LapReader @RaimeyGallant Noted! Thanks for your interest...hope to offer internationally for next year. (edited) 5y

Sweettartlaura Can I ask... why is the Open Date at the end of Black History Month instead of the beginning? Also, what is the swap exactly? 2/3 books? More, less? Please & thank you 🙏🏻 5y

Chelleo @Sweettartlaura It‘s a way of extending Black History Month beyond February. It should also be a bit easier to ID books and cultural items as they‘ll be highlighted throughout the month. The swap package details are on the form page. 5y

Sweettartlaura @Chelleo Oh, nice! Thanks - I‘ll check it out 🙂. It‘s been a while since I did a swap - this sounds interesting. 5y

DaNae.Gr @Pearrr 5y

alisiakae I had decided not to do any swaps next year, but I‘m really tempted to participate in this one! 5y

Chelleo @4thhouseontheleft you have some time to decide, no pressure 😜 5y

DanaManiac Oh sweet! This sounds like a fabulous swap!! 5y

Chelleo @Dana1084 Glad you like it. Hope you can join us! 5y

Chelleo @MsLeah8417 5y

Bookladylinda @Chelleo thank you for the tag, I appreciate it and it looks like fun but I may have to sit this one out. 5y

Nute Thanks for the tag. I want to participate, but feeling leary due to a failed pen pal connection. My match turned out to be non-responsive after the first exchange of information. That has left a bitter taste for this type of connection. It's hurtful when anticipating a good thing that is never going to happen. This is a wonderful idea and I am hoping for a great success! 5y

Chelleo @Nute I totally understand. I hate to hear that you‘ve had bad experiences with Pen Pals. 🥺 So rude and disrespectful. Hope that when the time comes for you to jump in again it‘s all you hope it to be. 🤗 5y

Gaylagal2 I'm in and looking forward to this so much! 🤙 5y

Chelleo @Gaylagal2 yeaaaah! Can‘t wait! 5y

Kammbia1 Thanks for the tag! I was off Litsy for awhile. 5y

Mimi28 Hey, I need to remove myself from this swap. I‘m sorry. I spent too much this Christmas and all my minimum payments are going to go up. I‘ll barely have enough for laundry. I‘m sorry. I hope you understand!! ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

Chelleo @Mimi28 thanks for letting me know 🤗 5y

Mimi28 Sorry, thanks for understanding ❤️❤️ I hope it is a great success!! ❤️❤️ 5y

Avanders Hey — I‘m probably way late here, but if you need someone to send a package (reasons such as 👆🏽), let me know! 5y

Chelleo @Avanders Thanks! I‘ll keep that in mind. There were a few early hiccups that were quickly sorted out. So far, so good. 🤞🏾 5y

Avanders Glad to hear it 😊🤞🏽🤞🏽 Hope everyone follows through! ♥️ 5y
