i organized this last year & it was tons of fun! basically you send a package of goodies from your area/region to another mamas, kind of a fun way to share a bit about the area you live in, kwim?

all the usual swap rules apply, $20 value before shipping, will close sign ups in a week or so.

lmk if you have any questions i am on mostly early a.m. or later p.m. ~ last year i got a wonderful package from ashely:waving: in NC & it included a pottrery mug, dress for dd, picture frame, & a few other thigns as well...so whatever you send can be *anything* just make sure it is local, from you rarea, town, state ...it'll be fun!!!

nope. sorry, but you are too new. not being rude, but we have had way too many scammers & mamas not follow through on their end of a trade/swap to allow such new members to participate.

sorry mama ~ :)

You can have her send to me if you want Nicole, I know her from MDC...

i'd rather stick to the rules regarding the swaps here at amity's if that's ok w/ everyone. if you want to start a swap like this @ mdc, or elsewhere feel free :)

Thanks for trying to save me in the swap Christina:)

No offense taken that I can't join in yet.

BTW I didn't see any rules listed about when you can join in swapping?

BTW I didn't see any rules listed about when you can join in swapping?

iirc it has always been member for at least 6m, 100+ posts, feedback thread avail & no unresolved neg FB. and sometimes, the person who starts the swap may tweak those a bit.

karen typed this out as well which is the first & stickied post in this forum.

http://www.amitymama.com/vb/marketplace-swaps/294873-swap-guidelines.html

I did see the sticky & read it previously but missed the # of posts & time criteria the first time (probably because it was at the end of her post) Just reread it again.
Thanks for the info

I have not shipped yet. I had items, but then found out that there are several food allergies so I had to go a different route on what I was sending and when I went to our farmers market the lady was not there. I am praying she is there tomorrow or saturday if not I will have to find something else and I will deffinatley have it shipped no later then monday. I am so sorry for the delay.

I need to ship as well. I will be shipping monday.

jenn 4262 did you get my package yet? Hadn't heard, but since it was sent PM I hope you have been enjoying it for some time.

I have not received my swap package yet from my person.

Just checking up on this swap...
Delia

I have my stuff together but have not shipped. St. Louis is chaos right now so I hope to have it out on Monday, but no guarantees, lol. I'm pming my person. As of last Friday I had not gotten anything, but I'm not worried ;).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my package! I got some wonderful stuff from Virginia, Virginia peanuts and peanut brittle and crunchy stuff, a GORGEOUS mug, from which I am drinking my coffee right now, Virginia ham (yum!) My husband was stationed in Virginia and this stuff brought back memories for him, we had a nice evening talking about when he was in the navy, munching on our goodies and it was wonderful. I'm so sorry I haven't said anything, the kids have been sick and life just got super hectic. I woke up this morning to an email from my husband about 100 acres in Virginia he wanted me to check out. Maybe we'll be neighbors!

Gwen, my package is almost ready, I promise. The last week has been insane, but I have most of it! My goal is to ship tomorrow!

Jenn

Jenn,

I am so glad you enjoyed all the goodies. LMK if you end up in VA. I know another amity mom that lives near me too.
: ) Delia

I've finally gotten my stuff together - it took me longer than I thought it would! I'll be mailing it out tomorrow!

And Nicole - thank you SO much for the stuff from PA!! I loved everything :heart: My kids got a kick out of looking at the brochures.

Oops - I'm behind on this swap too. It's on my list of things to shop for tomorrow. I'm so sorry! My package hasn't arrived yet either, guess we're both in the same boat.

I have not shipped yet. It is unbelievable how hard it is to find stuff "from" here now. I did not realize some of the local shops I used to shop regularly have shut down. Howver, I do hope to have this out tomorrow. My package also has not arrived.

I went to shop saturday at a little store down town there used to be several and they all seem to be closed. This is turning out to be much harder then I had thought.
I am still working on mine,but it seems everyone is in the same boat as me.
I have not gotten mine yet either. I am leaving for Ohio saturday and will have mine together and shipped before I leave.I just have to find some local stores now that are still open!!!

AND it's off!

Gwen, your DC # 01038555749725725728

Craftymom - your box went in the mail yesterday!!! :)

I got my package today. My neighbor brought it over.
It is a very nice bag. Thank you Cathleen.
I have my box to mothermoon ready to ship I went and shopped today and was finally able to find something local. I am shipping this evening. :)

still no package :(

Still waiting on mine too.

ok mamas. it's been almost a month now since 4th of july weekend. pacakges should have been shipped by now.

i apologize for not setting a deadline, but since a few mamas were away until after the 4th, i thought that by saying to ship " after the 4th weekend" people would understand.

i didn't mean, shipafterthef4thweekendevenifitisamonthlater. :lol:

so, if you have NOT yet shipped, please have the courtesy to contact the mama you send to & let her know?

thanks :)

I shipped out last week.My person should have it or be getting it any day now.

Still waiting on mine too.

I finally got yours out today :( Sorry it took so long!! It went priority, so you should have it by Fri.

No package here yet.
Craftymom - did yours arrive yet??

Mine going out today priority as well. It's already on the stoop for the mailman to grab :). Sorry for the delay. It was harder to shop for local stuff than I thought, and then the storms. At any rate, I hope it was worth the wait :D.

Maiden Comfort- thanks for my package! The food is going to be a huge hit with DD. she is almost 2 and likes shapes a lot. The windchime is very pretty and will add a lovely addition to our front porch. Thanks for your thoughtfulness!

No package here yet.
Craftymom - did yours arrive yet??

Craftymom hasn't posted since 6/27. I got a pm from her on 7/16 saying she'd not shipped my package yet. I"ve pm'd a few times now with no response. No package yet. I hope everything is ok with her.

mothermoon did yours arrive??
It should have been there some time last week.

Mine did come. It was neat.

Copmom, yours should arrive today.

the leaf is a print from a local artist.She has them in all different sizes and shapes and uses actuall leaves for each piece. The bookmark was also handmade from a local artist.
Glad they arrived safely.
from: mothermoon Mine did come. It was neat.

Copmom~
Your arrived while I was in the hospital, I am sorry I couldn't get to you sooner. I had some medical problems. Barb I have PM'd you.

take your time mama. Recover!

Mommytomaya, did yours come? It should have arrived a week or so ago, if not more.

Yes, it did come, I'm sorry I didn't reply that it did! We've been so busy lately with vacations!

I actually used the barbeque sauce yesterday to make bbq pork for sandwiches, yummy!

has anyone heard back from craftymom? i know she was hospitalized, she pm'd 8/11 but I've still not received a package and its 9/14 and no responses to pm's or emails from her.

is she ok? mama are you out there??
