OK - I tried my best. Here is the list. I'm sorry more people couldn't participate. There were just so many mamas who didn't get chosen this time and so many that got chosen over and over and mamas who dropped out. I guess we all have a lot of the same things to trade right now. I changed things around as much as I could so that as many people could participate as possible, though. If you asked to do more than one package I honestly tried my best! I hope it looks OK.

mamadulce - shelly, woman*mama*wife

naturalmama - craftymom, rocketscientist, heather4285

randah - naturalmama, maegansmama

midwesternmama, nvr2tall, jma924, hippiemama and cincodemama - I'm sorry it didn't work out this time!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure we'll all have lots to trade after we start on our resolutions to be more organized.

Let's set this at $25.00 and post lists until Jan. 10. Send choices by the 12th. Please try to send 2-3 choices. Packages will go out by the 16th.

*** If anyone wants to send multiple packages please let me know and I will try to work it out.***

Lego
Sculpy (bendy or otherwise)

WAHM body lotion
WAHM soaps (nothing patchouli)

Navy blue fine-wale corduroy (every time Joann's has a cord sale, this is not available

)

Wooden spatula in very good condition (no cracks, but it doesn't have to be new)

Kapla blocks or other plain wood blocks - shape is unimportant - just need a lot of uncolored building blocks.

Things for a gold fish tank - we already have gold fish, net, filter, and tank. Could really use a "centerpiece" of something SMOOTH for them to swim in (we seem to be losing one who scratched herself on the one we have now).

Sarah's Prints 100% cotton PJs for boys, in sizes 8 thru 14, in VG condition (small stains OK, but nothing torn or wearing-thru iykwim)

Gift Certificate to Home Depot or LL Bean or Applebees or Joanns Fabrics

Stash's Vanilla nut creme DECAF tea (someone sent me this in a previous swap and I love it, but can't find it in the stores near me)

and my DS wants ANY kind of Pokemon figure (the kind that used to come on a keychain or in a poke-ball - no stuffed animals please), and especially a Lapras pokemon figure (the kind that goes in those pokeballs) or Moltres, Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos, or HoHo (the legendary birds)

Neopets figures (the hard plastic kind)

Any bionicles or transformers

Gameboy advanced DS or SP or just plain old advanced (yeah, dream high!

)
If a DS, then Nintendogs (a game)
Spirocrash (gameboy game for advanced+)

some kind of mpg player

Good photo software for a PC running Windows XP. Doesn't have to be new-new, but my ancient Adobe PhotoDeluxe 1.0 is just not working for me any more - keeps crashing even after re-installing. I'd like PhotoShop, but anything is better than nothing!

Larry Boy and the Rumor Weed on DVD
Other children's (especially older children's) movies on DVD - try me!

If anyone's interested in any lavender wands or pomander balls (oranges-with-cloves), please put them on your wish-list. I still have one of my smaller bunches of lavender left, too. and I have lots of left-over bits of corduroy if anyone's looking to make patchy things. and I have a number of motherwear nursing dresses and tops in various sizes - mostly XS and 3X.

I'd love to do multiple swaps.
