Ok, late Feb is fine. I couldn't remember without checking what was due when. I knew there is a bulk due at one time.

No, my duedate is end of March but I usually go at least 2 weeks over so no biggie.

I will start the thread later today, gotta make some lunch. It is mid 60's here today so we are all outside playing!!!!!

It was in the 70's here Monday. 60 now....so we may go out for a bit after lunch

I'm so jealous! It is sunny and not too cold today, but the snow we got yesterday and the day before is so heavy and crunchy now, it's not good playing snow

And the kids can walk on top of it, but every few steps I break through the crust and have to retrieve my boot from underneath

At least you get snow!!! We have not even a flurry yet. We keep reading winter stories, talking of snow, but have yet to see any!!! I will trade some crunchy snow for mucky, rainy, warm weather for a while

Snow..what's snow??? LOL! I miss snow actually. We used to get a good amount when we lived in VA.

astrological sign swap and mini swap
puppy swap
kitty swap
bird swap
garden bug swap

what about a swap where we each make something that is part of a whole, like say if we did a wall hanging with the astrological signs, everyone could make a sign, and maybe one person make a holder, then it would be one complete thingie.....

I don't know if anyone put this up yet (6 pages is a lot to look through

) So if it's already been suggested, I'll keep thinking! If not, what about a 'winter wearable things' swap. I was thinking winter wearables like hats, gloves, etc. but it could also be extended to general winter things like snowflakes too if we needed more ideas.....

baababy · 01-17-2006, 07:43 PM

for the end of this year..... not this current winter season!

edit: Oh, and I like the garden bug swap idea that Maegansmama suggested. My little girl loves bugs and I want to encourage that!

Maegansmama · 01-18-2006, 01:10 AM

wow
awesome idea
i see accessories!!!!!! one for every swap, lol... I have seen(and am in, lol) a few tiny things swaps
sometimes there will be a swap, like native american indian swap, then a second swap will start up for NA Indian accessories swap.

but I like your idea about 'wearables' that could go with many many swaps and for many many(mwahahahahaha, feinishly rubbing hands together) seasons and categories.

like for summer, we could have mermaid costumes, beach umbrellas, parasoles, wide brim hats, sandals

for castle times we could do crowns, tiaras, robes, sword and shield, chainlink armor, other armor,

dress me up bendies

makes you go hmmmmmm

mom2kbeth · 01-18-2006, 10:04 AM

Wearables for the kiddos or wearables for the bendies or both? I like both ideas

We are doing a fantasy dress up swaps for boys and for girls now and they are a lot of fun too. I'll add those to the list.

Oh, and you doni't have to look through all the posts; whenever soemone suggests something i just add it to the OP to make it easier to see what we all want to do and when
