This swap will have a value of approx. $25.00.

Items must be sent out by July 31st.

Everyone that signs up will be assigned a mama to ship to, and you make items for the kitchen. But DON'T REVEAL who you are, please...that's all part of the fun

Please hand make as many items as you can in your package, we really want to see your handiwork!! However, if you want to include some cleaning gloves or something that you can't really 'make', to round out the swap package, that's okay...but let's try to make as much as possible and not stuff you have lying around and want to get rid of ROFL...

Items could be things like, aprons, pot holders, dish towels, napkins, place mats, bag holders, cleaning cloths, etc...or anything creative you can think of...

Please copy and paste the following into your reply when you sign up, and that info will be passed on to your secret swap recipient:

Your Amity mama username:

Color Preferences:

Kitchen "theme" if you have one:

Any allergies (wool, synthetics, etc.)

How many in your family (in case a mama sends napkins for the family):

Any other information we should know about you and your kitchen LOL:

Of course, I will PM each of you and ask for your mailing address, which will ONLY be given to the mama you are recieving from, so don't post it here, naturally.

I will assign each person a secret swap recipient, we will make our packages, mail them out, and then a week or so later, spill the beans as to who our secret swap person was

I will move this post to the swap subforum once it gets some exposure

Come on mamas

Let's have a great swap!

Any other information we should know about you and your kitchen LOL:
My kitchen opens into my living room (hence the peacock and orange which are my living room colors) and is almost entirely visible from the front door. We just moved in in January so I'm still in the first stages of decoration and I plan on it shifting with the seasons. I love deep saturated color and the unusual. I'm not into pastels, country, or cute. This is my first real kitchen, and we have only had a table since our move, so table linens/napkins are especially appreciated and I basically need everything. I collect lawn gnomes and this is where they are currently living

jessica_momof7 · 07-08-2006, 09:55 PM

could we possibly all post what size apron we would want/need so that if our swap person was making one?? like small, med, large or xlarge?

I am a 18-20 so probably an xlarge for me.

lemonsong · 07-09-2006, 12:04 AM

I'm an 18 in pants but a 22 shirt. 1X/2X for an apron for me if that's what my buddy is making.

RebeckaK · 07-10-2006, 11:44 AM

I would need an XL apron as well.
