Saving a spot. I'm in if I can find someone to send to ;)

Gently used is fine. WAHM/mama made stuff is always welcome.

for the boys

my teens really want some scarey type movies. I'm including some titles, but I'm open to others too (try me)
Any Stephen King movies - (we only have IT) they would love Cujo, The Shining, Salem's Lot, Pet semetary, etc, Blade Trinity (we have 1 and 2), Dracula (the one from a few years ago w/keanu reeves), The Lost Boys, The Ring, Amityville Horror, etc

also - The Producers (old and/or new version we rented this and my 17yo loves it)
any of the Scarey Movies

Stephen King books -we do have a few. I would love to get The Night Shift. I think that's the one with a bunch of short stories

computer, playstation, gamecube games for teens

a computer mouse that works well

These Redwall books - Outcast of Redwall, The pearls of Lustra, Marlfox, Triss and High Rhulain. The Redwall map and family history books. also any Redwall vhs or dvds

other fantasy type books series for older kids/teens (for 11 yo DS who reads very well)
books about dragons or other mythical type creatures, monsters, etc

books on learning to play the violin

piano sheet music - pretty much any from classical to modern

comedy cds for my 17 yo (parental advisory stuff okay)

computer headphones (they keep breaking these)

a gamepad for the computer that works with windows xp

an extra gamepad or 2 for our nintendo game cube

working older video game systems with all the components (they want a sega staturn, dreamcast or genesis and keep searching ebay for them)

video games for playstation, gamecube, nintendo ds, gameboy, super nintendo or n64. demo discs would be great too. teen rated ones are fine
players guides for above video games
video game magazines

teeshirts with fun/goofy/character/slightly rude/funny stuff on them in men's sizes M, L and XL
teeshirts with dragons on them in men's m, l or xl

clothes from H&M for my picky 17 yo son in men's xl
pants and shorts- W 36" L 30" or 32", shirts, flip flops size 11, pretty much anything from there

jeans waist 36 or 38 and length 32"
other pants W 36 or 38 L 32"
cargo type shorts in waists 33", 36" or 38"

guys watches - something cool or funky. could use up to 3 of these

pretty much any colors - from blond to blue, purple, brown, etc

good conditioner for very dry hair

for the girls

Kathryn loves getting stuff in the mail and would probably love a few surprises too

they don't really need a lot of clothes

Me

I could really use some spring/summer clothes
bottoms (18/20 XL) tops (20/22 2X - they need to fit 42 D/DD )

I'd like to jump in and try a swap.

Question... is the "value" of the item up to the owner or is there a guideline list somewhere?


you determine how much you think something is worth. I usually try and figure out what I something might sell for used what I would expect to pay for something used/at resale.

There is a post HERE (http://www.amitymama.com/vb/marketplace-swaps/294873-swap-guidelines.html) that expalins how swaps work and what the general rules are :)

I just hope everyone makes nice looong ISO lists. It makes it much easier to get people matched up ;)

Hi all, I know there's still some time left to send in choices, but most of you have and these people need to be picked (nak, sorry):

boodamama
bennpeanutsmom
chelle
butterflii

if you could look over their lists, or if they could add stuff that will probably all work out.

thnks!

Mine went out today (priority) to Sunflower and Maiden Comfort. Sorry I was late, but I promised Ds we would go to the lake yesterday and I was too sun-fried to get to the PO after that. I also didnt get to add notes, so your packages from GA are from me. :)

I received a wonderful package from Sunflower - a bar of yummy lavender soap and a wonderful nursing necklace. DD loves it! She is constantly tugging and playing with it, so much that I cant wear it when I am trying to nurse her to sleep, she is too involved with it. Its shades of green, my favorite colors. Thanks so much!

I received a wonderful package from Hope, including the prettiest manada by Meeshi (well, I'm assuming it's by Meeshi). I love it! It's shades of blue, which is just what I would have chosen had I picked it out myself. I've been wearing it since I got it, except for work. Everything else was great too. Thank you so much!

I sent my package to Healing Pixie today, priority and tracking. I'm sorry I'm late. It seems to be a constant theme with me, but I tried to stuff the box full enough to make up for it.

I completely understand and I just know we will love love love it.. and from post here I do not think Hippichick or Barb have gotten the ones I sent out yet?? I will check DC after I leave here. Hmm?? SO took them to the PO and brought me DC slips. I am going to go look and see where they are in transit. I hope you both recieve them soon...
