Greetings MOPS busy Bag Exchange group!

*If you are a regular viewer of my blog....sorry I have been missing! Blake was born in May and its been a bit crazy. I'll try to update more soon!!! In the mean time I am using this blog as a spot to communicate for a Busy Bag exchange over the next few weeks.

If you are here for the Columbus MOPS Busy Bag sign up - Welcome.

Here is what you need to do.

1. Look over list of activities listed below and pick your top three (the ones you want to make)

2. Email me at janice.landi@gmail.com by Wednesday July 18th in order to 'sign up' and secure a spot in the exchange. Include the following in your email:
your name
number and name of top three activities you would like to make

3. I will email you on Friday July 20th with your assignment and the final number of bags you need to make. (I will do my best to make it one of your top three, but please be understanding if not)

4. You need to complete your bags by Saturday August 4th (this gives you two weekends of back to school sales to get what you need :> and make your bags)

5. We will have the 'exchange' at my house on Saturday August 4th.
If you can make it - great! We'll spend an hour or so socializing and exchanging the bags.
If you can't make it - bummer! Just make sure that you drop your bags off to my house before Saturday, I'll make a pile for you of all the exchanged bags and you can come pick them up, or I can try to arrange to meet you at one of our outings.


Below is the list of activities for the exchange (and the list is not super pretty with pictures.....I need sleep and don't have time to make this post pretty :>)

Please remember
- The links I listed are just an example to get you started. Your bag does not have to look exactly like the link. Please feel free to be creative with the idea, pinterest and google are your friends and will help if you are not feeling creative!
- Your goal should be to spend approximately $1 a bag (if you start shopping and find that it's more expensive, please let me know and we can find a different activity for you!)
- Dollar store, Target Dollar spot, ALL the back to school sales, www.orientaltrading.com are a few places to find inexpensive items for your bags
