I'm thinking $25.00 value before shipping...

Gotta have some positive feedback somewhere that we can see and no unresolved negatives etc...

Anything to do with pregnancy, babies, sibling gifts, birth stuff..... whatever. Just post your ISO's and I'll match up.

Since the holidays are coming up, I'll close this the monday morning (11-28) after Thanksgiving, asking for choices emailed that day. Then the ship by date will be that Friday (12-2). I'll post matches promptly. :o)

Have fun!!

I'd like to join in.

We live in a mild climate (way south Texas) and it doesn't get very cold here. So even though I am due in Dec please no really warm clothing. I really don't have a whole lot for this baby but I've realized you don't need a lot either so, I'm open to other things not on this list.

I'd even love some crafty type things that would be easy for my other kids to do on their own while I'm busy with the baby or napping.

for baby:
GN onsies, and gowns (cotton please)
soft brush for washing hair
Medium size wet bag for diaper bag
diaper, wool buddies or other type of wool wash
small teethers, rattles, soft toys, etc for stocking stuffers
baby massage oil
Please no blankets - after 5 kids we have tons of them!


for me:
nursing bras size 36B or 34C (no underwires)
sling rings
solid (no white) or print pul to make more dipes and covers
size 20 plastic snaps any color but white/off white (kam compatable)
zippers 12 or 14in any colors are fine
wool sweaters to make longies
fo's or eo's for soaps
Chamamile or Calendula flowers for infusing oils


I'll edit if I think of something else.

For all of you wanting cotton baby clothes-- is hemp okay too? I have some extras around here :happy:
