2 spots please... I amnot sure what I will make. I am thinking of some clay food (corn, beans and squash, which wwas a lot of what was eaten by the Native Americans in our area) for one set, but am totally unsure about the other.

May I throw my hand in for one spot? What are the "rules" for this swap? How many do I need to send in? I am never sure so I always skip the swaps all together but the things you ladies come up with are so awesome! Let me know.

The tiny things swaps are different than the regular craft swaps. For the tiny things ones, you would send in one item for each person that is signed up, but the items must be tiny. We usually use the tiny things swaps as fairy gifts and treasures for our kiddos :) This one will be for accessories to go with the regular Native American swap. For the other craft swaps, we always make items, for the tiny things swaps, some of the items are made, some are purchased, some are found in nature.

I know Lorena said she would post some ideas on things to send; I will do the same tonight when the kids are in bed :)

is this one closed too :(
oh the pain!

no - this isn't closed. tiny ones are easier because the items are tiny and you can buy them if you want.

so - you want in?

Here you go Stacey - I am pretty sure she ships over the border to Canada. I buy a nickel bag from her every year. She's a hippie from head to toe including the long grey braid that goes down her back.

I already made 2 necklaces and they are cute:)
So I am going to stick with those:) I need some things I can easily do too..ROFL!!

bumping up and pleading for a spot to be added for us. pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaasssse? I picked up the extra space in the NA swap and I know Duncan would love tiny things to go with. We went to the airport last weekend and there was an exhibit of Native American items and I was thinking that I could make teeny feather fans, like the ones that we saw. Please please please....i'm not above bribing someone here. :smirk:

huntersmama
02-05-2006, 12:15 PM
i wonder if you could just pop in in place of heather?

I don't mind making extras:monkeydan

Korwynne
02-05-2006, 12:36 PM
yeah, isn't Heather's spot open? :)

mom2kbeth
02-05-2006, 05:17 PM
If Heather's spot is open then iI don't see why not! I already have my stuff made and packaged, so I am hoping Heather's spot is open, lol!

mom2kbeth
02-05-2006, 05:18 PM
Ok, I just checked and there are two people who dropped out - Heather and Anji. So Starkl, you should be fine to join is :)

i just updated the op - please let me know if any of those mamas dropped out. i don't know alot of real names - just screen ones so i may have overlooked someone.

heather is whom?

starkl
04-05-2006, 12:50 PM
I'm pretty sure that hastings said that she was dropping out of anything until further notice. I know that she's moved recently and she hasn't been online much at all.
