My #staycationswap package from @Avanders arrived yesterday & her package from me departed today. It‘s supposed to arrive on Thurs. 6/10. Since I didn‘t take great photos of either, I‘m posting them together.

sprainedbrain I procrastinated too long! Sorry. 3y

tdrosebud I sent in a form a few days before closing and was wondering if it went through or if you haven't done matches yet. I never received a confirmation email, which sometimes there isn't one and wanted to check. 3y

Chrissyreadit @tdrosebud yes- I have it- sorry this was a rough weekend. I am sending matches out today. I‘m so glad you joined! 3y

tdrosebud @Chrissyreadit no need to apologize, life happens. I hour things are well for you. I just wanted to make sure I didn't mess something up. Thanks for organizing this, it's such s fun concept. 3y

Deblovestoread Chrissy, when do you want the sign up by? I need to narrow down my ideas....too many places to go!😁 4y

Chrissyreadit @Kdgordon88 no worries- I should have posted I‘m going to leave sign ups open for two weeks. I‘m also struggling so much!!! 4y

Hooked_on_books I think I‘ll be signing up for this. What a fun idea! 4y

erzascarletbookgasm I missed this last year. So tempting now. 4y

AmyG I‘m in. How could I resist? Thanks so much for organizing!!! (edited) 4y

Deifio I'd like to sign up, but as far as I know I can't even send a normal package to America at the moment because of corona restrictions ☹️ I'll have to check again. Or is anyone in Europe participating? 4y

tdrosebud I'm in, as soon as I figure out where I want to go. I have an obvious choice, but am toying with something out if there box, out of my usual. 4y

Chrissyreadit @Deifio I have someone in England already signed up. I am ok with people ordering in the country of a partner and direct shipping to them. I think that could be a game changer for international swaps. But International is dependent on having a partner available. 4y

Amandajoy I remembered to sign up! 4y

Chrissyreadit @Amandajoy yay!!! 4y

KaylaD I can‘t remember if I signed up for this one or not!! Haha but if I haven‘t I want too but don‘t want to sign up twice!! Lol 😂 4y

Chrissyreadit @KaylaD you signed up! ❤️ But I need some additional info from you- you can email it to chrissyreadit@gmail.com or fill out new form and I will delete the first. (Need Email and address) 4y

KaylaD @Chrissyreadit will do!! 4y

I will tag people who expressed interest. Questions? Contact me at chrissyreadit@gmail.com
This will be a rapid turn around- the swap is to support small online business- (not to leave your house) and have fun.
I still plan to host Staycation In Time when life is more normal.

AmyG I‘m in. I just filled out the survey. Thank you!!!!!!! 4y

JamieArc Do we know of small businesses that are shipping that fast? I have orders placed with a few local bookstores and it‘s been two weeks and they still haven‘t shipped. I would join but would worry my order wouldn‘t be able to ship in time. 4y

ElizaMarie @JamieArc Ooo you are right. I bought some gifts for my anniversary and some of the places say they might not get there in time (and our anniversary is May 22). 4y

See All 16 Comments

Chrissyreadit @JamieArc @ElizaMarie I can change the date based on that info- would June 15 seem to fit in a timeline? 4y

Chrissyreadit @AmyG yay!!! I did just change the time to ensure shipping - based on comments in this thread. 4y

ElizaMarie I just signed up for it. I have never done a swap before so... I am excited to have this as my first one! 4y

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie I‘m so glad!!! I love swaps- I‘ve met many “friends” through them. 4y

TheBookHippie Yay!!!!!! Signed up! 4y

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit shipping is slow here too. 4y

LibrarianRyan Ta done 4y

Deblovestoread All signed up! Thanks giving us a little fun in this strange time! 4y

JamieArc @Chrissyreadit Thanks! 4y

Butterfinger Is Etsy considered small business? 4y

Chrissyreadit @Butterfinger yes. 4y

Crazeedi I didnt see this!!!🙄 :( 4y

Chrissyreadit @Crazeedi oh no!!! I‘m going to host my staycation in time again when things are less crazy. This was a quick one because I may be addicted to swaps. If you really want to swap email me at Chrissyreadit@Gmail.com 4y

1. I‘m wondering if this could be a support small business like Etsy, libro.fm and bookshop, have items shipped directly to match, and send snail mail card or letter?
2. Direct Match
3. Anyone else wish they could travel to Narnia? Hogwarts? Prydain? Other imaginary lands?
I‘m just in consideration stage now checking for interest.

TheBookHippie I do feel we‘ve fell down the rabbit hole in Alice‘s world! Fun idea! 4y

ElizaMarie Are you thinking we order directly from Etsy to our match? I am game if that's the case. I can't go shopping (of course) But I can send a letter or card too.

Keep me posted. 4y

Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie that is what I‘m thinking. In my mind it does not have to include a book- maybe items representing a fandom or concept to support a comfort read or imaginary getaway? And I‘m thinking a price limit to make it equitable? 4y

See All 12 Comments

jillannjohn I like this! 4y

sblbooks Would it have to be imaginary? Could we choose a real place if we wanted to? Fantasies really not my thing. I do like the idea of using Etsy, for a Direct ship. 4y

Chrissyreadit @sblbooks yes! I was thinking to do my staycation in time swap similar to last Summer seperately from this- but I‘m very flexible. Just thinking of a way to have fun and support small business . So it can be any way of turning quarantine into a staycation. 4y

Chrissyreadit @jillannjohn @TheBookHippie yay! 4y

LibrarianRyan I‘m up for it. 4y

Deblovestoread Sounds fun! 4y

tdrosebud I'd be up for it. 4y

MeganAnn Love this idea and it would be a great way to support some small businesses! 4y

TheAromaofBooks Keep me in the loop, as this sounds fun. I think a price limit would really help, or maybe to have a couple of different levels, since I know some people enjoy going crazier than others on swaps!! 4y

Crazeedi I never saw this or heard of it! Wow looks awesome!! 5y

Chrissyreadit @Crazeedi im sorry! It‘s so funny how Litsy works- I try not to spam with info- and a few people shared it, but I know lately I have to go to hashtags and “purposely” visit people‘s pages to “catch up”. 5y

Crazeedi @Chrissyreadit I guess I just somehow missed this. Oh well I'll enjoy seeing everyone's ideas! 5y
