Sign me up!
Wish List:
cotton or wool yarns, soft ones, pretty ones, luxurient ones, lol
pretty much anything hand made or wahm made, even if you're not an expert (cause goodness knows I'm not, lol) as long as it's made with good intentions and love
giftable items for my kiddos (stocking stuffers would be great too), I love giving to them, and I don't get to do it as much as I'd like, so this is really for me more than for them, lol (3yo boy, 5yo girl, 6mo girl)
handmade goodies to snack on :p
A child friendly Nativity like Fisher Price or similar for my kids to use at Grandma's house. She collects them and she lets them play with her expensive ceramic ones. I'd rather they have thier own there that is ok to play with. Baby Jesus must be able to come out of the manger though, that's my dd's favorite part, lol. Simple, rustic, handmade, it's all fine as long as it's not easily breakable. Wood would be swell, or Fimo clay.
silly stuff that you spot in a store that makes you laugh, like bumper stickers or little plaques or goofy figurines, whimsical stuff
anything pentacle, goddess, horned god, pagan-y.
breastfeeding advocacy tee for my littlest dd (12m size) or for me (XL)
Mr. Sketch markers
Please include something that clues me in as to who you are!
Please no soap (we're allergic to too much of it to explain which ones are ok, lol), and I am not Christian so nothing religious in nature :).

hastings
10-18-2005, 12:39 PM
Add me. :) I have an overly long iso in my sig, and I'll come back an edit this later
Edit to add more info:
Ok, me, hmmm. :p My favorite color is orange. I like copper tones and bronzes and burnt rust and other deep earth tones, and then I like rainbows. :) My kitchen is decorated in bright splashes of colors, prism suncatchers and crystals, and silly vegetable art. I spend most of my time in the kitchen since that's where my crafting space is and that's where I sew. I love to cook and collect odd, old, and offbeat metal cookie cutters. I listen to all kinds of music and dd and I like to dance to world rhythms, Sarah Mclachlan, Sarah Brightman, Tori Amos, KD Lang, They Might Be Giants, German and Italian opera, musicals, folk, and well, anything danceable :) Mixes are just great.
I'm just getting into bellydance and have been into historical recreation for years (Renaissance rather than mountain man style)
I love my bathtub (I'm not really a land mammal) and think wahm bath bombs, soaps, lotions, etc are a little bit of heaven. My favorite scents are deep and earthy and spicy like sandlewood, amber, clove, and patchouli, but I also love green smells, and citrus.
Funky stuff for my hair is always appreciated. Hairsticks, hair jewels, barrettes, combs, hairsilks, etc are all fabulous. My hair is really thick and straight and is about halfway to my waist.
I'm a reader and adore books both fiction and non-fiction, especially well researched historical fiction. I'm a sucker for a good poet too.
Pagan and goddess themed stuff for my house would be lovely. I love peacocks and Venus of Willendorf/ancient mother things particularly.
I'm pretty easy other than the fact that I'm REALLY not into country or pastels. My style is more kinda Goth/Ren with a whole lotta tie dye thrown in rofl.
Other than that, I'm trying to make much needed lifestyle/eating habit changes, so treats aren't the best idea but I'll make an exception for really good dark chocolate or incredible bread (I can't resist dark rye)

hey mama, i'd really like to stick the the guidelines & you must be a member for at least 6m to join this swap. not being harsh, nothing personal , just trying to stick to the way it has been done. you are the 2nd person i have said no to for this, so please, don't be offended :) eventhough i am sure jo can vouch for you...LOL ;) imo it just wouldn't be fair.
i suggested to the other mama, that perhaps she start a holiday swap for the newer amity mamas who would like to join ~
off to check my PM box, i haven't gotten any full notifications at all & randomly am receiving PMs..strange.

sorry jo....lol :) it does seem weird to say no to her & i am *sure* she is VERY swapworthy LOL... but i had already told a new mama no & well.... exceptions, exceptions...they start to get tricky. thanks for understanding. and i hope you do to gaga :big hug:
how fun to have your mom here :happy:

10-19-2005, 07:44 PM
why is this turning out to be this way...LOL ~ the point is to have + feedback as a member here, kwim? so that people know you & are familiar w/ you & feel safe that you will follow thru as a member of this community.
you have been here 6m, but if you have no transactions here, personally *i* think that is just as important as the 6m membership.
i'm sorry :eyes: ugh, i hate being the bad guy.

I sent mine weeks ago. Hope you got it mama! I guess I'll spill who my sister was in case it didn't show up. Anne marie, did you get it? I hope so! I received mine a long time ago too, lol. I got a gift card and boy was it fun to spend a little on myself instead of everyone else in the family hee-hee!

Shoot, I really need to get in gear. Ok, this will be my mission this weekend. My problem is I really don't know what to get my mama. Her post didn't give me much to go on. Any ideas on how to get more info???

i just realized when i sent my package i didnt send a card so the only way you are going to know who it is from is if you read my name on the address label.
but i guess that is part of this being secret santa. are we supposed to reveal the secret anyway?
i havent received mine yet....................

Tonya ~ was that you that sent me my gifts? OMG ~ I got it this morning and just literally bursted out in tears! You got me what I wanted (I love the wallet, it is PERFECT for me and matches my personality!) and more! During the most difficult time in my life, your package brought a huge smile to my face ~ thank you, thank you! I am wearing the necklace you made me right now and I just love it! I can feel positive energy coming from you! The socks ooohhhh... so plushy!! I will wear it this afternoon when I go out with my kids ~
*wiping tears from my eyes* Thank you mama ~ you brightened up my morning already! Thank you!!!

oh yes! i was indeed surprised! i was dropping by her place to give her some necklaces i made & pick up a fabulous diaper bag she made for me when she said "tonya i'm your secret santa" & i must have had such a puzzled look on my face & she said "on amity's" & i my jaw just dropped. she presented me with a nice basket of all the goodies i asked for!! coffees, chocolate & a honey dew candle. i just love it!!
to top of the day i received a swap package i had been stalking the mail box for as well!!! what a wonderful day!!

Oops. I forgot to out myself jody. I had you for both exchanges and I'd hoped there was enough in the box I sent to cover both. And yes, I crocheted the dishcloths.

I got mine on Saturday-- and it is AMAZING!!!!!!! Just perfect. I got a fabulous wemoon calandar/appointment book. I'm not at all organized but really want to be and this is so cool (and lunar) and perfect for me. I also got 2 amazing cd's Van Leer Rose and some persian violin and percussion which is just AH! Then some candles including a chakra balancing candle. I used it for meditation yesterday and had a pretty incredible emotional experience. Dh was here to help and it was a very good thing to have happen-- thank you Randah.

I got mine and it was great! I needed some new little earrings. And some day this Christmas break when dh is home I am taking a relaxing lavendar bath!
I can't remember who sent it though, sorry, packaging got tossed.
But even the little ribbons you used to wrap up the presents where used by my boys as leashes for their little animals.... funny the things kids get excited for !
