What you think about a card swap?

Anyone game?

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

Card swap is good.
We usually have a Christmas card swap here..

So are we giving ideas or have you decided on the cards?

Serena · MANIA MOD

I'm wondering if we could do a card swap, as it's easy.

Maybe I'll just post a question in its own thread.

I like them both

Food is always up my alley

And cards are a lot of fun to receive too

Do you all want to vote on which one? Maybe do a poll?
What do you think Miss Kitty?

Serena · MANIA MOD

I could do both!

Hi all,
I have an idea for a swap centered around destashing, book reductions, mags that need to go, supplies, etc. you know you are never going to use it. I have some patterns books that I say,”Why the heck did I buy that? There isn’t a thing in that book that I will ever make!” The answer, of course, is acquisition syndrome. And it was on sale!!

The idea is maybe you might not ever utilize it, but someone else would. So we would pick say, one item at first and send it to another person in the swap. In turn, that person would send something to the next person. It could be the second person will send on the thing person one sent to them.
For example, Mary sends me three skeins of wool. She really hates the color and so knows she won’t use it. Great, thank you! Now I say, ya know I have that “What Not To Crochet” book. But I won’t ever make anything in that book. LOL! So, I send it to the next person, Kathy. Kathy thinks that book is so funny, she wants to keep it. So, she sends something else to the next person. Or Kathy could think the book stinks so she will regift the book to the next person.
It will be a shipping cost only swap. Because you will already have something that just really needs to go!
It could get really funny like a white elephant thing or it could be a great way to recycle- or both!

Anyway, any ideas or anybody want to try it?

TXCL, I like it!

I don't have any stash to swap

Oh, I miss my yarns

Sounds like fun though.
HEY, I do remember

I still have lots of pattern books,
brand new books and leaflettes

Miss Kitty · MANIA MOD

Good ideal.
Or a Play it forward- where you post something (Like a pattern book) the first post from someone who wants it gets it. Then they need to post something so on and so on.

Hey Miss Kitty, that would be a good idea too. Like I have 10 skeins of Wollmeise I want to give away, who wants it?

Serena · MANIA MOD

TXCL, is the Wollmeise sock yarn?

Miss Kitty, could we do more than one at once?

I have six skeins of darkish green Red Heart, called dark sage. It's much darker than a sage. That's not a good name for the color. Each skein is seven ounces.

Would someone like to have these?
