Cool. There's some interest. :) I haven't headed up one of these in a looong time, so let's see.... I guess we'll say $25.00 value and must be a member for at least 6 months or have good feedback to join? Does that sound right? Lets add lists! :)

***EDITED TO ADD DATES!!!*** Let's get lists posted by tomorrow (Wednesday, the 18th) and choices in by Friday, please. Let's set a ship by date of NEXT Friday (the 27th). :)

OK, mamas. I PMed everyone that I didn't get choices from and still haven't heard anything from a couple of them so I went ahead and matched up everyone that I could. I feel like I'm going to have this babe any minute and I don't want to get caught up not being able to take care of this! :) I tried super hard to find matches for everyone, but whoever isn't listed here, we'll get you on the next go 'round. ;) If anyone sees any mistakes, please let me know!!!

Adjustable waist slacks and pants (no pleats) in size 12 with adjustable waist.

Stretchy shorts, think basketball jersey type of shorts, size equal to 12.

Abercrombie (kids) M, L or XL t-shirts, logos or saying are fine fine. heh Short sleeve or long sleeve.

Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale or Hollister XS or S adults (mens) t-shirts. Logos and sayings fine. Short sleeve.

Old Navy 12 short or long sleeved shirts. Same goes for above on logos/sayings.

White casual socks, mens size 7 shoe. (ACK!)

Hoodies in size 12 or sizes from above from those brands. Zip front hoodies are great, but they'll do pullovers if they need to.

(DS says NO pink for clothes please! ;-) )

DS#2
Adjustable waist slacks and pants and jeans (no pleats) in size 8 with adjustable waist.

Stretchy shorts, think basketball jersey type of shorts, size equal to 8.

Abercrombie (kids) S or M t-shirts, logos or saying are fine fine. heh Short sleeve or long sleeve.

Old Navy 8 short or long sleeved shirts. Same goes for above on logos/sayings.

White casual socks, boys size 4 shoe.

Hoodies in size 8 or sizes from above from those brands. Zip front hoodies are great, but they'll do pullovers if they need to.

DD#1 size 6 clothes (no dresses, only skirts with attached shorts underneath) for Fall/Winter. Shirts, pants, etc.

Abercrombie kids, smallest size, some shrinking is great! hehe I think their site says S is the smallest, but I thought we had some XS in her dresser so I'm not sure.

Socks (solids or patterns cool) for size 10-12 toddler foot.

2pc pajamas in size 6.

Bathing suit size 6.

Girls jewelry. She loves jewelry, but I prefer to give her cheapie things as she does misplace it so nothing work much please! Dress up type of jewelry is great.

DD#2
She really doesn't need much, but we can't turn away cute boutique clothes or quality made. She wears a size 3.

Shoe size about a 7-8 and she would love socks or shoes!

She adores Dora and Diego. *sigh* So she'd be thrilled with just about anything from that. I don't let her wear character clothes except for pajamas, though so please keep that in mind.

Me:
Sz XL short sleeved v-neck (but not super deep!) t-shirts for work. Fitted or not. Doesn't matter. I'm not girly girly. I prefer solid colors and no pastels.

Size 18 or 20 capris (no white).

Anything funny for the post office, would LOVE some tshirts in XL that have sayings on them about the P.O that I could wear to work.

Funky jewelry and earrings. I need pure silver, gold jewelry for earrings, though OR love and prefer titanium or stainless steel. Single earrings are great, too as I have a lot of single piercings. My largest hole only fits a 14g or 16g, though so nothing really big, please. Love CBR's, seamless rings, etc. so those are cool.

Oh! Adding! Cassette tapes of Metallica, OffSpring...anything rock/metal in that range. I only have a cassette radio in my work car and I don't get the radio in very well on most of my route. I work better with music! hehe

Would we be just swapping with one person or is it a swap that lasts for months? If it's a one-time shot, I'd like to do it. If it is a continuous thing where we swap with everyone, I don't. :)

Chickapea
06-15-2008, 05:49 PM
I think it's a one time swap. :-) If it's the other, I can't do it either. hehe I don't have enough patience or focus to do one that goes on for months!

Oh Stacey please get in :D I have a million things for Smoochie ;)


Ooooh! Yippee!

My next question is am I paired with one person like Radhanuga (please oh please! :lol: ) or is it possible that she'd send to me, and I'd send to someone else?

Sorry I am a swapping dunce.

~Meeshi~
06-16-2008, 11:39 AM
Stacy, you send a list of people you can send to. We all do. Then it is matched up so that every sends to one person and receives from one person, not necessarily the same people. If you can send to two people and two people can send to you, sometimes that works out and you can get two packages.

A possible scenario would be something like:

Radhanuga sends to you. You send to Kas. Kas sends to Branwyn. Branwyn sends to Barb. Barb sends to Radhanuga. And so on.

Sometimes, because matching up can be hard, you may be left out even if you can send to someone, if no one can send to you.

Clear as mud?

ThirtySomething
06-16-2008, 12:33 PM
Great! thank you for the clarification.

Here is my list:

1. Fuse beads (perler beads)

2. Any clothes for Smoochie. I would like them to be in good condition. 18-24 months (or size 80). I like dresses, but not too fancy. We don't go to church or anything. She wears them to town and such. Size 5 shoes. I'd really love some sneaker mary janes. She is wearing hers out. For winter clothes, she might neet 24 months or 2T. She is very short, so please we cannot use rompers. They never fit. I love gymbo, hanna, boden, etc... but I am not stuck on that idea. I just love their clothes. I won't turn my nose up at other brands.

3. WAHM or handmade soaps. I'm not picky here. Pachouli is probably my least favorite scent, but mixed with something is ok.

4. Essential oils- Again, I'm not super picky. I will use them to make cleaning supplies. I love lime, lemon, tea tree, peppermint, other mints, and other "clean" scents. I do not like pachouli.

5. Chapter books for the 7-9 year old set. I'm looking for something other than
a. Magic Tree house
b. Junie B. Jones
c. The littles
d. A to Z mysteries.
We have a lot of these or have read them before.

6. Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn

7. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

8. Animal Sticker books or unused word/number puzzle books for the 5-9 age group. Both are well beyond preschool stuff.

9. Kitchen timer.


I may add more later.

Shoot! I cannot ship until July 7th. Should I bow out?

I'll be out of town. I can *maybe* ship on Saturday morning if I have the person in time, but otherwise, I have to wait until July 7th since I'm gone.

LMK if you think I should back out. I will totally understand if this is not ok.

Why don't you PM whoever you were going to want to send to and ask them if you get paired with them, would they mind' waiting until July 7th? I'm sure it will probably be fine. :)

I wanted to add that if anyone would be interested in this, add it to your list ;) then maybe I could improve my chances for doing more then 1 box for this swap lol

its nip, sealed and would make a great gift for an older child.
I-gami - The first 3D construction set for the truly creative mind! (http://www.i-gami.com/ikflowers.html)

if you go here, you can see some examples along side a child so you can see how big things can get quickly lol
TDmonthly - i-gami (http://www.toydirectory.com/MONTHLY/article.asp?id=2180)

and I think a child younger then 10 could love these, Caden tries to put them together but isn't old enough for the other one I have.

I've searched through the lists, but I don't have enough off of any one person's list to make a swap package.... I think I'll have to back out of this one! I'm sorry!

Charity
06-21-2008, 12:05 PM
Maybe we could lower the amount of the swap? It looks like some people have some things, but not enough to make $25 worth. Maybe drop it to $20 or $15?

Maybe we could lower the amount of the swap? It looks like some people have some things, but not enough to make $25 worth. Maybe drop it to $20 or $15?

With shipping being so expensive, most people seem to prefer usually doing the $25 or so value. Each time we do a swap, few people end up not being able to find a package to put together. That's OK, though. Just another reason to do another one soon! Also, the mamas who I am not able to match up this time and would like to do a lesser packege are of course, always welcome to work out a personal swap with eachother. That's fun, too! :)

I haven't gotten mine out yet. Thirtysomething is out of town and I haven't gotten a response to my PM as a result. As soon as she's back, we'll get it figured out - I think she comes back while I'm out of town (pretty sure she said the 7th, and we're gone the 7th-11th), but I'll get it out to her as soon as I can :)
