BEING FRUGAL for Xmas gifts trading!!!!!

[sonew123]

Hi all,

A year or two ago I did this and had fabulous luck with all my swapees/traders and such!...Here's the deal Xmas is coming and MANY folks have fallen on hard times. I offered up my hatching eggs for things I was looking for -for an even trade!!! We each pay for our own shipping..So the trade shouls include the value of said items plus shipping ( as close to it as possible)
I know there are ALOT of talented folks out there with items they have made and haven't sold or made yet..This might push them to get things they can't afford to buy or get normally..Like hatching eggs and such. For whomever would like to do this with me plese PM me with your offers of whatever and what you are looking for and I will post it ( cut copy and paste)on the first page so everyone else can see them in one spot! Pictures of what you have/or offering would be best please

I will do this until Dec 1st-Im sorry after that it will be too hectic

You are all responsible for your own trades-unlike most swap threads where there is a mod -per say-dealing with the "issues". SO be careful who you are dealing with please.

I will start

I NEED Double fleece lined matching hats and gloves...you show me what you have and see if we have a deal...For adults please -blacks-or dark colors

sterling silver jewlery-HAS TO BE PURE or my whole family gets ear infections and green ears-nothing with stones in them-simple designs are good-just show me

I have a husband who is into archery and straight shaving. An 11 year old boy scout, a 9 year old very prissy girl, A 3 year old who is a froggie and spiderman fanatic, and a 2 year old girl who loves baby dolls. I would love to see maybe crochet hats, head bands, aprons, purses, totes. I won't have an idea till I see what i am looking for probably.

I have my bird pins and ornaments, my husband can make traditional archery tooled leather bracers. There will probably be more listed once I figure get a chance to think about it more.

here are a couple of my birds and such

Lovely crafts.

I usually give food and/or scented candles for gifts. There's a company that makes soy candles in our county that just smell wonderful so I usually give those as gifts. My out of state relatives love Michigan maple syrup and Mackinac Island fudge for gifts. My in-state relatives enjoy Michigan wines. I also buy candy and dehydrated soup mixes from my late husband's friend's wife who runs a small sweet shop a few towns over. I've also bought goat milk soaps off members here too.

This way ... people get gifts they can use and enjoy, I don't spend a lot on presents and I'm supporting the local economy and small business owners.

EVERYBODY WINS!

Can do an assortment of papers and embellishments for creating ephemera art scrap books. Paper cut silhouettes. Homemade vinegar.
