Title: 2017 Yummy Yum Yum Exchange Sign Ups are Now Closed.
Post by: Erica McPhee on March 13, 2017, 11:03:27 PM
Sign ups are now closed.

I love baking! And since I have three kids - I'm forced to cook dinner every night, too.  ;D So I'm super excited for this recipe exchange! Recipes must be 5" x 7".

You must be a registered, activated member and have made at least one post, introductory or otherwise, in order to participate. Come on - don't be shy - we love new posts! All it takes is one.

Postmark Deadline: Saturday, April 15, 2017

As always, the following guidelines apply:

2. You will send a card to every member on your list (typically 7-9 members).
3. Must be related to the theme.
4. All skill levels welcome!
5. If you end up not being able to participate, please contact me ASAP. If you don't send your cards after the list has gone out, you will not be able to participate in the next exchange.

Yum yum. Still deciding. And I would probably go for it for the sheer love of cooking. I mostly cook Lamb and fish dishes which are quite elaborate. So would be excited to have sometime new in my menu list.

What disappoints me is when my exchanges doesn't reach the members. :D

Thank you Erica for all that you doing for this community.

Hi Erica, sorry about misplacing the signup button. Where is it located. Sometimes I come on the site and I find everything, other times I come on and Im so very lost.

Thanks for putting me on the list aside from my Site Dementia.

Hi @Elizgadus59 ... the link is at the beginning of every post that is titled, "XYZ Exchange Sign Ups are Now Open" until the sign up deadline. Once the sign up deadline passes, the link is removed and the title is changed to "... are Now Closed."

I always post the link to the sign up post in the "news" banner which is at the top right of the page as well.

I know forums are tricky to figure out but once you do, then it makes sense and is really quite logical in its layout. Everything is categorized and you can even click on "View the most recent posts on the forum" at the bottom of the page (in the stats) or the "Show unread posts since last visit" or "Show new replies to your posts" links at the top left under your name so you are sure not to miss anything.

Hope that helps!  :)

Hi there, list 4!

Sorry I could not tell you before. The thing is that Thursday and Friday were holidays in Spain, and on Saturday and Sunday there is no mail service, so my envelopes will be mailed tomorrow Monday (I hope). They are ready, but I did not realize that the holidays would make them to be late  :-[ And as another difficulty... I will be traveling tomorrow before the post office open hours! So my envelopes are going to be with me all the way until I discover a mail box. So... they can be mailed from anywhere in Spain!!! I will be with a friend traveling all the way to the other part of the country by car! But I promise! As latest as Tuesday, they are going to be mailed for sure! My friend knows were the mailbox is in the city we are traveling to!  ;D

Thanks Mike! Yes, I did! I have to say I was a little disappointed as this was the first time my photos have printed overly red. I have used that lab forever and have my printer calibrated for it. So I don't know what happened. But I went with it and matched the envelopes. LOL!

All the grandkids older than me in my family called my maternal grandmother Granny. I refused to call her that and named her Meema. And all the grandkids after me called her Meema too.:)
