I've never done one of these swaps. Do we send stuff we have or go out and buy new things?

I've never done one of these swaps. Do we send stuff we have or go out and buy new things?

Usually we just send out things that we are not using anymore. You can state if you want to receive new or used items, but they should be in good condition. I only send out things, in a condition I would like to receive. If you want to buy new you can, its completely up to you. Sometimes If I havent enough to fill the amount, Ill buy a few things.
If your not sure about an item, you can pm them first.

Its a great way to declutter :D I love sending out things we dont use to find new homes where they can be useful again. Then you receive things that are useful to you in exchange. I make things too.

Its fun!

Been resisting and keep coming back to look so I guess I should join :)

Ok swaps closed Please take a few days to check through the ISOS and send in choices by the 21st. Let me know how many boxes you can do.
Thanks :)

I didn't have enough for anyone, so I opted to not do this one. Thanks!

I hope nobody else drops out :(
Its like dominos, people start dropping out when their planned partner did and then half have disappeared :eyes:

I never posted my ISOs. I only had one thing each for 2 seperate mamas and wouldn't be able to ship for a couple weeks. Hopefully next time!

Waaahhhh!! Any of the mamas that I had stuff for have all pulled out! I guess I'll have to sit out too!

I dont think Im going to be able to match many people at this rate, if everyone keeps pulling out there will be no one left!
What a disaster for my first swap :wah: :wah:

Hey! Don't give up! I have three mamas I can send too!

Chin up! We can still do this!

:big hug:

Even if it's a small swap, it's not your fault!! It can still work out!

I added a few more things to my ISO!

Thanks mamas :) Im not pulling the plug, just hope we can still work it out on less people!

Would it help to lower the package cost to $20 not $25?


I added some items to my ISO

Ok I have all the choices in.
Can you look over these ISOs and see if you can send to these mamas. If they could add to the lists too, that might help :)

Naturalmama
sweetandsour
Silvery skies

Ill post matches asap. I was thinking of extending the sending deadline by a week, but if you can get them out sooner thats great.

I added a few things... But I totally don't mind sitting this one out if I need too.

Aileen
