Cool. There's some interest. I haven't headed up one of these in a looong time, so let's see.... I guess we'll say $25.00 value and must be a member for at least 6 months or have good feedback to join? Does that sound right? Lets add lists!
***EDITED TO ADD DATES!!!*** Let's get lists posted by tomorrow (Wednesday, the 18th) and choices in by Friday, please. Let's set a ship by date of NEXT Friday (the 27th).
OK, mamas. I PMed everyone that I didn't get choices from and still haven't heard anything from a couple of them so I went ahead and matched up everyone that I could. I feel like I'm going to have this babe any minute and I don't want to get caught up not being able to take care of this! I tried super hard to find matches for everyone, but whoever isn't listed here, we'll get you on the next go 'round. If anyone sees any mistakes, please let me know!!!
My ISO
*Girly or GN soft soled shoes - any size after about 6 months, really.

*wool soap
*Kissaluv's (or similar) diaper potion
*WAHM soap - earthy or natural EO scents only please (no fruity or strong floral)*DVDs for kids (please PM me first - I'm pretty weird about what my kids watch, but having some movies around now with a tiny baby is probably a good idea!)*Back issues of Ottobre magazine

*chapter books (no religious connotations, please) for readers at about a 3rd grade level (girl or boy oriented)

Also LOVES Pokemon. Haha). My kids LOVE surprises!
*ANY craft kits for kids. We can't get enough of these around here!

Old Navy 12 short or long sleeved shirts. Same goes for above on logos/sayings.
White casual socks, mens size 7 shoe. (ACK!)
Hoodies in size 12 or sizes from above from those brands. Zip front hoodies are great, but they'll do pullovers if they need to.

Adjustable waist slacks and pants and jeans (no pleats) in size 8 with adjustable waist.
Stretchy shorts, think basketball jersey type of shorts, size equal to 8.

DD#1 size 6 clothes (no dresses, only skirts with attached shorts underneath) for Fall/Winter. Shirts, pants, etc.
Abercrombie kids, smallest size, some shrinking is great! hehe I think their site says S is the smallest, but I thought we had some XS in her dresser so I'm not sure.
Socks (solids or patterns cool) for size 10-12 toddler foot.
2pc pajamas in size 6.
Bathing suit size 6.
Girls jewelry. She loves jewelry, but I prefer to give her cheapie things as she does misplace it so nothing work much please! Dress up type of jewelry is great.
DD#2
She really doesn't need much, but we can't turn away cute boutique clothes or quality made. She wears a size 3.
Shoe size about a 7-8 and she would love socks or shoes!
She adores Dora and Diego. *sigh* So she'd be thrilled with just about anything from that. I don't let her wear character clothes except for pajamas, though so please keep that in mind.
Me:
Sz XL short sleeved v-neck (but not super deep!) t-shirts for work. Fitted or not. Doesn't matter. I'm not girly girly. I prefer solid colors and no pastels.
Size 18 or 20 capris (no white).
Anything funny for the post office, would LOVE some tshirts in XL that have sayings on them about the P.O that I could wear to work.
Funky jewelry and earrings. I need pure silver, gold jewelry for earrings, though OR love and prefer titanium or stainless steel. Single earrings are great, too as I have a lot of single piercings. My largest hole only fits a 14g or 16g, though so nothing really big, please. Love CBR's, seamless rings, etc. so those are cool.
Oh! Adding! Cassette tapes of Metallica, OffSpring...anything rock/metal in that range. I only have a cassette radio in my work car and I don't get the radio in very well on most of my route. I work better with music! hehe

Would we be just swapping with one person or is it a swap that lasts for months? If it's a one-time shot, I'd like to do it. If it is a continuous thing where we swap with everyone, I don't.

I think it's a one time swap. :-) If it's the other, I can't do it either. hehe I don't have enough patience or focus to do one that goes on for months!
I haven't headed up one of these in a looong time, so let's see.... I guess we'll say $25.00 value and must be a member for at least 6 months or have good feedback to join? Does that sound right? Lets add lists!
