The Staycation: A hilarious tale of heartwarming friendship, fraught families and happy ever afters | Michele Gorman

I had the best time today opening my staycation swap! I had such a big smile on my face for so long, just in awe of what Chrissy put together for my staycation in southern France. It‘s all so thoughtful and much appreciated.

AmyG Hooray! Just signed up. Thank you! (edited) 7mo

Born.A.Reader Is this a new swap? What's it like? It sounds intriguing! 7mo

Chrissyreadit @Born.A.Reader I think this is our 5th year for this swap- it‘s around curating a staycation around any place or time- real or fictional- people are very creative- look at the hashtag #staycationintime and some will have years also- #staycationintime23 and the pictures will give you a good idea of what it is! 7mo

quietjenn Ah, I need to figure out where/when I want to go! 7mo

Born.A.Reader Omgosh these do look amazing!! The travel possibilities! 7mo

KadaGul I adore 😍it! If I hadn't been so busy participating in all the fantastic Summer 😎🌞Reading 📚programs at local libraries, I would have gone for a “Staycation”. #Staycation 7mo

Meshell1313 So fun! Thanks for hosting both of you! Just signed up! @DinoMom 🗺️ 7mo

julieclair Signed up! I love this swap! I can‘t wait to receive my match! Thanks so much for hosting. 🥰 7mo

Booklady-2365 I‘m brand new to this app. Can someone please explain what this is? It sounds interesting. 7mo

Chrissyreadit @Booklady-2365 It‘s a swap @DinoMom and I host each Summer. It requires a commitment to follow the rules and send items to your match, who also sends you items based on the theme. Also the link in my bio is to help new people in this app- it is full of information compiled a few years ago. 7mo

Graciouswarriorprincess Darn! I missed this . 5mo

Chrissyreadit @Graciouswarriorprincess 🥸 i‘m sorry!!! 5mo

Graciouswarriorprincess @Chrissyreadit It‘s ok. I don‘t know how I missed it as I did it last year and it was so fun. 😀 5mo

Thank you so much, Ryan (@LibrarianRyan) for the #staycation monster goodies!
The monster crocs are HILARIOUS and comfy! I'll be wearing these around the house! The DIY Dragon Paint kit is incredible! I've been looking for paint kits; now I don't have to! And vampire shea butter? Already put it on, and it smells yummy! All 3 books will be perfect for the #Scarathlon in October! You seriously rock! 🧡🖤🧡

BarbaraJean @LeslieO Haha! I wondered if it might arrive today, but with the hurricane (!!) headed our way tomorrow and Monday, I‘m kind of hoping it won‘t show up until Tuesday so the package stays dry! 1y

Look @Sprainedbrain the #Staycationintime box arrived. I told you it would arrived but in this part of my neighborhood, mail is arriving late since a couple of months ago.

So exited. This is photo one 📦 📚 and ❓Yes!! England and Scotland!! Ahhhh someday...I will visit those two countries. I hope the goal to go don‘t get lost over the 🌈 because I really want to go😜

Gissy @sprainedbrain I told you, it would take time but it is here! So grateful with everything! You should see my face when I saw the books and the name of the country in each package was so fun, and the cookies which I had to opened😉The print is already in my bookshelf. Everything has a place already! Thank you, thank you!🤗❤️❤️❤️ 3y

sprainedbrain I realized after I had sealed the box that I forgot to put the cute ribbons on the wrapped gifts. The plain brown wrapper isn‘t nearly as cute without the ribbons. 😬 You are SO WELCOME and I‘m glad I got you some stuff you like as much as I love the stuff you got me!! ❤️ 3y

Gissy @sprainedbrain They were perfect! I‘m terrible wrapping gifts. In my case I always say that I didn‘t pass class where you develop the fine motor skills☺️ 3y

Chrissyreadit Im so happy it arrived and everything looks amazing ❤️❤️❤️ 3y
