Well the Mermaid Swap has turned out so fantastic that a couple of the mamas and I thouhgt...Why not do another Theme Swap

So this would be a wonderful woodland fantasy theme.

Ideas: hmmm.....maybe
needle felted/knitted/crocheted forest animals
needle felted/knitted/crocheted fantasy animals
toadstools
gnomes
play mat
felted trees
hmm..... Bonnie where are you with your awesome ideas????

I'd like to keep it small so we can all concentrate on doing some great fun stuff without feeling completely overwhelmed by it

How does 5 or 6 mamas sound?

I'm claiming toadstools for now. I've been wanting to needlefelt some so this is perfect.

Bonnie's at nature class and gone for most of Fridays. Trust me, she'll sign up for this!

starkl · 11-04-2005, 12:44 PM

I would like to join in please!

I'll tentatively say playmats and accessories like I did for the mermaid swap, but if I have inspiration then I'll change that.

huntersmama · 11-04-2005, 12:47 PM

yippee Starkl, I was hoping you'd wanna do mats for it.
those mermaid mats are amazing...My girl is gonna go thru the roof when she sees these sets

I'm planning on sending a wishing pond and a brown playsilk for the forest floor

lupineperriwink · 11-04-2005, 09:59 PM

I had a really cool idea for the toadstools so hopefully I can pull it off.

huntersmama · 11-04-2005, 10:01 PM

I'm going to do trees for sure, and maybe either a cave or a house. I actually have a really awesome idea for the houses if i do say so myself

this is going to be soooo cool!
