Alright ponies, I had a great time hosting the Valentines exchange I've decided to host an Easter exchange The Valentine exchange was a sucess, so I hope this one will turn out to be just as fun.
Everyone is welcome to join!
If you are interested, there are 3 options to choose from:
Option 1 EASTER CARD EXCHANGE
This option is just for sending out Easter cards. Everyone who signs up for option 1 will be put on a mailing list and send out card to everyone on the list.
The cards are not limited to Easter they can also be Spring cards Be as creative as you like, you can buy them for make em yourself. The only thing required for the card exchange is the cards. However if you would like send stickers, candy or other goodies feel free.
Option 2 EASTER EGG EXCHANGE
This option is just for sending out plastic Easter eggs. For this exchange I will put people in small groups for exchanging Easter eggs. Be as creative as you like with the eggs. What goes inside the eggs is up to you. For this exchange, plastic Easter eggs and something inside of them is required. Put whatever you want in the eggs: chocolate, stickers, jellybeans, glitter, confetti etc.
What size eggs should i send?
This is up to you. There are several different sizes of eggs and which ones you use will depend on what you want to put in em, and how you'll package em. You can send one size or mix em up.
How many should i send?
Again this is up to you. Just use your common
sense. :wink:
Here are some pics of the plastic eggs for our international sign ups:
Option 3 BOTH EXCHANGES
Signing up for option 3, means you would like to do both exchanges.
Option 4
Another exchange idea curtosy of Ladydaydreamer added Feb 28, 2006
Secret Bunny Easter Baskets:
In this exchange, everyone who signs up will get a person to send an easter basket to. However you won't know who your easter basket is comming from
I would suggest sending small baskets, as bigger ones might be costly to ship. For equality purposes, plan to spend around $10. If you want to spend more thats fine, but don't do more than you can.
Whatever you want to stick in the baskets is fine and be as creative as you like. :wink:
Basiclly you can choose to take part in both exchanges or just one. You are only expected to do what your wallet will let you. The whole point of this is to have fun and celebrate spring and Easter.
Deadlines: Im not a stickler for dealines, but I would like everyone to try and get their stuff out for Easter. But i know **** happens :wink:
If your interested in signing up send me a PM!
*edit Almost forgot! If you have an questions or need something, don't hesitate to let me know
*edit Sign up will be open until March 14th. I will take any last mintue people until the 16th, but I want to have the finalized mailing lists out to everyone by March 16th.
*edit If you want to send religious Easter cards for the card exchange, I see no reason why this would be a problem. If anyone is offended by religious cards, please let me know.
*edit I think sticking to wrapped or sealed candy is a better idea, so please use wrapped or sealed candy if you want to send any.
*edit 3-9-06
Here is how many people we have signed up for each exchange. We have about 4 more days, but this is to give everyone and idea:
Cards=12 Eggs=18 Baskets=18 (3-15-06)

*edit 3-10-06 For those of you who are in the basket exchange I'm thinking about having you guys post some info about yourselves and a want list so your secret easter bunny can see it. However i don't want to put people under pressure with regard to buying gifts and I dont want people expecting something and then not getting it. So I can always PM your person and send you their info. Remember you can send whatever you want in the basket, it doesn't have to be MLP stuff. Be creative and do whatever you would like Just remember for purposes of equality expect to send around $10 bucks.
Also I put people and groups togeather randomly, I literatly put names out of a hat, However if you have a special need, please let me know and I will bend this
And lastly...this is all about having fun and interacting with fellow pony people, so please do what feels right and makes you happy.

Alright everyone, I have sucessfully sent out everyones needed Easter infomation! Im sorry that I fell behind my deadline. Everyone should have recived a PM from me with the appropiate information which was a mailing list for the card exchange, 2 addresses your egg group, the address and name of your SECRET Easter basket person or a combination there of depending on what you signed up for.
Everyone address should be correct, However i want to make absoultely sure. If you recived a mailing list let me know if your addy is wrong. If you are in the Egg Exchange please check with eachother if the addys your got are correct. For the Easter Basket Exchange I was thinking of posting everyone's addy and then PMing me if its wrong. BUT i dont entirely like that because anyone could see them,(like Trolls) that would just make my life eaiser. Well instead Im gonna PM everyone in the basket exchange a make sure. Not right now though my eyes are bleeding and my fingers are starting to fall off. :lol:
Anyways I want to thank everyone who signed up for our Easter exchange. I hope that everyone is having a great time and I look forward to whats comming in the mailworthy: all hail the holy mailbox) Thank you for allowing me to host yet another Holiday exchange. Im having a blast doing this and look forward to future holidays.

P.S. DONT TELL ANYONE WHO YOUR BASKET PERSON IS!!
Here is some Easter finds for people on Budgets courtsy of goddessofpeep:
Easter Bargins for basket people on a budget:
Target: good sized basket(unfortunately with long handle which is going to be a pain to ship) for 99 cents. This basket is large enough to fit a MIB G3 single pony, and to cram a few other things in there besides. They come in several different colors(pink, yellow, purple).
Target: Easter grass - 29 cents(the second cheapest I've found was at TRU for 49 cents).
Big Lots: Many sizes of eggs - 33 cents per pack(I got 6 or 8 large size eggs for this price). Most other places have basic eggs for $1 or more per pack.
Easter grass is Easter grass, so if you can get it for 29 cents instead of a dollar, that leaves more money for other stuff
Also, I have noticed that many of the eggs I've seen in stores are dirty in the packages. I've been washing them even if there's no food going into them because nobody wants a dirty egg
