Okay, I'm going to host a "Pamper Me Swap".

Do you think we should go 'secret swap' route again (which is more conducive to having a 'matching' set), or should we do group swap, where you all make, let's say, 10 of one item, send to me, I make them into groups and then send them out. (which also means more shipping charges for the senders, shipping to me, then I'd have to charge shipping back to you once the groups are sorted to send out again)...OTOH, groups means you get something from a lot of different moms, not just one.

So, I'll open the poll until sign ups are taken (end of this month sometime)

Thanks all

I much prefer groups - sometimes the packages can be a little lopsided in a secret swap.

I've done some group swaps that were pretty lopsided too...but it's kind of the nature of swapping sometimes, people value things differently.

Although, I really like the group swaps too because of the variety!

I voted secret because there has been talk of an autumn group swap - so there'd be an option for both if that does happen.

I voted group. I think it's so fun to get a big variety of things back when you only have to make one thing (over and over).
