~below knee length 5 or 5T dresses, bloomers in the same size, casual and as much natural fiber as possible. By casual I mean not super formal satins and such. They can be pretty and feminine, just not formal, lol.

~natural and open play toys and such, would love WAHM or handmade. All the normal 5yo girl stuff applies like princesses, unicorns, pink, fantasy like knights and dragons. She would LOVE a girl dragon!

~a good quality dress-up crown or tiara

For Finn:

~size 4/4t summer clothing. I would prefer limited character prints. Shorts should be elastic waist so he can use the potty alone. A few pairs of snap/button types are fine, but not too many. I also hate the cargo shorts. He doesn't like to wear them, so they sit on the shelf. Too bulky maybe?

~gift cards in $10 increments for fast food like Taco Bell, McDonalds, etc... . We don't eat out often but it's a nice treat sometimes. GC for Chuck E Cheese would be great too.

~cast iron skillet and pans for camping, especially a dutch oven

~easy to moderate usefull knitting patterns that incorporate basic stitches like knit, purl, and limited use of fancy ones, lol

~a cute purse with fringies or danglies or something. I would prefer no feathers though. This should be smallish sized enough for a wallet/checkbook, asthma inhaler, a binky, a granola bar and a small bottle of water, lol. Nothing too large. WAHM made would be awesome!

I've added to my list and am getting ready to add more

I added a few more things. :waving: I'll go and look through everyone's lists in a bit. Last time I checked I had enough for 1 package.

I'll try to add more to my list too. But really, I'm easy!

I'm back in!!!

We sorted out a few things financially and i sold a bunch of things, so I'm back, I'll repost my ISO in just a few minutes :)

I found two mamas I can do!

send in your choices asap :)

thanks to those who already have!

i'll be out all day tomorrow (read the market forum) but i promise i'll match mamas when i get online again after getting tan settled.

Sorry. I can't make a $40 pkg for anyone :(

sorry jusy getting online from the weekend off to see who i can ship to

I added bath toys to my list if that helps anyone out. :o)

i sent in my choices:cuc:

I can only "maybe" do 2 people but not both of them because they both want the same thing and I dont have enough for both and I am pushing it to make it a $40 package. I think I may have to pass this time.
Sadly I dont have hanna or other fancy brand clothes which seems to be very popular this round.

SEND IN CHOICES NOW.

I can't seem to find anyone to do a $40 package for either, so I'm going to have to sit this one out! I'm just not having any luck with swaps lately....either I have stuff to send, but don't get picked....or I get picked, but don't have stuff to send to others! UGH!

I'm looking over and over, but there's nobody else I can do, I sent you two choices a few days ago and they are the only two I can make a $40 package for.

I have to run to the store, but will look over the lists again when I get back. Does anyone need girls clothes size 4/100 cm ? I have a bunch of stuff Kathryn has outgrown. I also have a medela pump, avent bottles, maya adjustable pouch (size M in purplely shades, not sure of the number), hmm, I'll see if I can think of anything else.

Do you need us to send in 2 more choices or just resend our choices?

i can't send to anyone but the three i already sent you. if i have to, i will sit out if you can't match me b/c of this.

Do you need more choices from me? I sent you 5 before - I dont think there is anyon elseI can do...

I can only do the 2 I sent in also, but neither of them have dropped out.

Like others said, I can sit this one out if necessary.

Sorry!

Aileen

I just sent my 2 choices again. Those are the only 2 I can do and neither has dropped out. I too will just drop if that's not enough. These big swaps are a ton harder to organize. I could probably do $20 packages for several mamas, but it's not worth the shipping in that case. Anyway, I hope you get it all worked out.

okay, i'm trying to help Kas match people up and I'm just http://purplepixelations.com/mdsmilies/readit.gifhttp://purplepixelations.com/mdsmilies/head_hurts_kr.gif I can see why she was having such a hard time with it. Tracey, I don't have your choices. Could you please send them to me ? http://purplepixelations.com/karensemotes/flowers.gif

I think maybe some of the lists weren't long enough or were too specific. We also had some people drop out. Bigger $$$ swaps are just harder I guess. I'm going to try and match everyone I can. I have to go out in a bit, but I'll try and get matches done this evening or maybe tomorrow morning.

Thank you both for your efforts :)

I was supposed to go out of town but we decided to stay here, I'll be stalking ;)

I think I have it worked out, but I really want to hear back from Tracey before I post the matches.

oh Traaaceey... http://purplepixelations.com/barbemote1/whistling.gif

Okay, I'm going to post the matches. I matched as many people as I could. I'm really sorry that I couldn't match everyone. I think it's just harder with bigger $$$ swaps. You need to have really long iso lists to make it work well.

Kas, maybe you can edit your first post to say "matches listed"

and if I made any mistakes please tell me (I really hoping I didn't mess anything up http://purplepixelations.com/mdsmilies/nerves.gif )

please pm your partner for their address. ship with delivery confirmation... you know the drill. I need to check the ship by date. we may need to move it up a bit

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

editing to add, I can't find the original ship by date so lets say ship by Monday the 15th. That gives everyone a week. If for some reason you can't get your package out by then, please let your swap partner know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

now I think I'm going to add some hints for making iso lists to the swap guidelines in a bit.

:(

I've been waiting all week for this swap and I didn't even get matched. I know it's nothing personal but still :(. Thanks for trying Karen.

I'm really sorry Gwen I think it was a combination of things that made it all not work (in some cases people got picked but then the people who picked them didn't get picked and other people dropped out). I'd be willing to try and organize one with a lower value after the packages for this one go out. That would probably make it easier to match everyone up :hug:

don't feel bad-it was *my* swap, and i didn't get in on it :p

i'll survive and so will you.

I don't do the lower value ones anymore. The time, effort and shipping cost just doesn't make it worth it to me.

Truly, thanks for trying!

i'm sorry i was MIA...i've been touch and go online lately. wasn't trying to avoid ya'll :lol:

i can take a second mama...pm'd karen with that info. if it makes anything easier i'd be happy to do it :D

Gwen, if you have anything on my list, I'll swap with you! I had chosen you as one of the two people I could swap with. Maybe we can work something out. :heart:

Both my packages are being sent today. Hope my mamas like them. :)

my package went out yesterday. :cuc:

sweetsour/radhanuga
# 0304 0370 0000 1968 4269

Woohoo!!!! I can't wait, I'm so excited :D

I pm'ed tracking numbers to both Randah and Mamatanya, their packages went this morning :heart:

OK, Kas deleted the details when she updated. I'm getting mine together but am I already behind on the ship date?

I put a ship date of next Monday in the post with the matches. That gives us a week. Does that seem long enough ?

Got my HUUUGE package just a few minutes ago! wow!

Vidura loves his pants, I love the Maya pouch and oh my! girlie has enough outfits in there to never wear the same for two months, lol.
Everything is beautiful, the Hanna sets are gorgeous, the snowsuit perfect, I really love everything :heart:

Thank you so much Karen!

Perfect. Thanks

AnneMarie, your pkg. is ready and shipping tomorrow. DC# 0304 7990 0005 6760 8080.

I hope you are both very happy with them.

Thanks so much~~

Aileen

I got my package from Anne-Marie today. Woo-hoo! Thanks!
I love the sling. It is the perfect color for me. And the full size diaper bag/pail liner is great. We're reading the books tonight and I just love everything. Thanks you.
(Geez you're fast.)

I got my package from Radhanuga today!! :cuc: it was stuffed full of super nice dipes and some AIO's which I have been wanting to try. Also a bunch of awesome clothes for the new babe. Dh was home when I opened the package and everytime I pulled something out he would say "wow, that's really nice" lol, he was thoroughly impressed :) Thank you so much for yet another wonderful package, you made my day mama! :smooch:

I got mine today from Radhanuga too! And she is Rad. Wow, super package mama. Did you sew the postpartum pads and the wipes? I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy having them. The clothes are wonderful. And even though I've never seen Vidura's face, his morning puja picture is so peaceful, it's nice to have that energy around the already beautiful boy outfits. And babylegs. And the little turtles knit soaker. OK, I made out like a bandit. Thank You!

And I shipped today
Tracey/Snugglebond DC# 03051720000187410704
Katherine/Nvr2Tall DC# 03051720000187410698

Hope you like!

I got mine from Anne Marie. It was awesome!!! Thank you so much mama.

I was thrilled to get the Aristocrat covers and funny as it sounds, I was just as excited about the cord string. My kids thought I was crazy. LOL It was all great. Thanks sooo much!!

Yours did go out today. I hope you are as happy with it.

Hugs,
Aileen

mama, i got it today~WOW!! :cuc: the boys were helping me outside so they sat down and morgan read the books to the younger boys. i'm already wearing my necklace and earrings :heart: just...WOW! the clothes are perfect too :)

trying to decide on the stickers...you sent some seriously awesome ones! not sure how many i can fit (i would love to do them all!) :lol:

the yarn...o.m.g. i couldn't believe it when i saw that HUGE HANK!!! i'm assuming wool...do you know what kind? or perhaps more importantly...how much? yardage? i'm just in awe fondling it :p (i'm a yarn nerd that way) going to cast on those needles tonight ;)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Karen, yours is going Monday :cuc:

I got mine today from Radhanuga too! And she is Rad. Wow, super package mama. Did you sew the postpartum pads and the wipes?

I'm glad you liked the package :)
Yes I made the wipes and pads for you, just for you :heart:

I wish I knew something about the yarn. It looks like handspun I've seen at our local farmers market. I lucked into it so have no info. I fondled it myself but it needed to go to a serious knitter. I think I've made five scarves in my life, sum total of my knitting. I'm so glad you liked everything. :)

I got my pkg. from Randah today. It was full of nice clothes for both of my babies, soft shoes and a great wool cover etc.... It made my day.

That Tommy shirt that you sent, I had the sleeveless romper in the same size that went with it exactly. Too funny to get the set together that way.

Thanks so much!!
