I remember someone saying when we did the tiny things swap in May that we should do one for Fall/Samhain as well. Anyone up for it?

Mailing date would be September 5th, which would give me plenty of time to get things sorted and back to everyone well in advance of Mabon/first day of autumn.

You wouldn't need to craft for this swap necessarily (although you certainly can if you wished to). It would be a larger scale swap, and you would be sending a set of tiny fall/Samhain related things, one for each person.

Some ideas for what to send --
acorns
acorn caps
milk weed pods (I would LOVE someone to send these!)
beautiful autumn leaves
sunflower seeds
seed pods
dried mums
dried little sunflowers
from your craft store's floral area -- tiny apples, pumpkins, silk leaves, gourds, etc (like you would use for collage or wreaths)
wishing stones
basically anything tiny and either found in nature or a replica of something found in nature, that is fall related.

I will just have you send the items, no boxes.

Anyone interested? I know there are a lot of swaps going on now, but I would love to do this because I want to be able to have the fairies leave things for my kiddos overnight on Samhain

Swappers:
1. Bonnie/Mom2kbeth (2) - RECEIVED
2. Kris/Huntersmama (2)
3. Hastings (1)
4. Lazygirrl (1)
5. Copmom (1)
6. Shannon (1) - RECEIVED
7. Starkl (1)
8. Elfmama (2) - RECEIVED
9. Gaga (3) - RECEIVED
-----------------------
Current total = 14 children

*** ETA -- This is a double swap. Magical tiny things AND fall tiny things. You will need to send a set of both types of items and wil recieve a set of both types of items for your child(ren)

Please be sure to send a set of both fall and magical items for each child you will be receiving for (Ie if you are receiving for 2 childrem, please send 2 sets of fal and 2 sets of magical items). Thanks mamas!!

Yes, forgot to put that in the original message. Sorry!! I will put the number of children sending for next to everyone's names. So please let me know if you have more than one child that you will be sending/swapping for

starkl · 08-26-2005, 12:30 PM

I wanna join, too.

edited to say: I'm going to send silk leaves in fall colors.

Shannon · 08-26-2005, 05:20 PM

I want to do this too. I have one child.

I would also love to see a "magical things" tiny swap. Anyone want to set that up? lol

huntersmama · 08-26-2005, 06:23 PM

I would be all over a tiny magical swap
can someone host?

I could make tiny wands maybe......oh the ideas are flowin...

mom2kbeth · 08-26-2005, 07:26 PM

Ooo magical tiny things swap would be awesome! I already know what I am going to send, lol!!

How about making this a double swap? A magical things AND fall/Samhain things swap? Then everyone would have to send 2 sets of tiny things - one of fall and one of magical things.

Would this be ok with everyone? That way we didn't need to organize anything separate and everyone wuod save on shipping!

huntersmama · 08-26-2005, 10:05 PM

that is an awesome idea if everyone is up for it
I will start working on my magical item this week
