I was asked to start another tiny things swap, this time with a winter and a magical theme. You sign up for how ever many children you want, then send a set of magical and winter themed items per child you are signed up for. I will sign up for 2; I will send 2 sets of magical items and 2 sets of winter themed items.

Ship date is firm at Thursday, December 1st. Please do not sign up if you do not think you will be able to ship by then. Shipping back to you will be $3.85 for priority (as long as no one sends really big tiny things, lol!).

Some ideas of things to send are:
Winter --
clay snowballs
clay snowmen
little snowflakes
tiny holiday tree ornaments
dough gingerbread figures/people

Magical --
Things that we had in the last magical tiny things swap were magic apples, besoms, magical stones, rings, wishing stones, mushrooms for a fairy ring, etc. It would be cool to try to have some winter themed magical items this time!

Swappers (number of children):
1. Mom2kbeth (2)
2. Huntersmama (2)
3. Lupineperriwink (1)
4. Hastings (1)
5. Mcmrymoon (1)
6. Polkadot (1)

Total = 8 children

I want to send something that's magical AND related to winter ... like the besoms and the magical apples were magic and related to fall. That's where I am having trouble. I am thinking something to do with the sun, for Yule/Solstice, but I'll have to think some more.

Hmmmm.. I was going to make little pouches of Magickal Reindeer food...so which catagory would that fit under...LOL.

huntersmama · 10-17-2005, 11:57 PM

i know what to send for the winter side of it, but winter and magical is stumping me a bit

We make this every year. McKenna thinks it is so great! I think that would fall under the winter/holiday category...

Someone on our street makes this and we get it in the mail every year from the mail lady. I need to figure out how to incorporate that inot Christmas since we don't "do" Santa LOL.
