A new swap idea???

[bcarson]

I am certainly not trying to add flame to the fire. But I just wanted to see what you all thought about this idea. Being new to scrapbooking it can be so overwhelming to build up your supplies. Like for example the other day M's had the eyelets, brads ect.. on sale for $2. But the single colors like red, purple ect... YOu get like 50 or 100 (can't remember) but in either case more then I could ever use. I was thinking what if we did like a color eyelet or brad swap. Does that make sense??? We could add fiber also. But everyone would have a color and each person might get any where from 6-10 brads or eyelets and then 1 or 2 yds of fiber in that color. I wouldn't even want to attempt this until maybe Feb or Mar when the dust from these other swaps settle. I just wondered if there was any interest. No making just buying.

Actually, this sounds like a good idea. If someone doesn't send their stuff in - no big deal! It would also be a lot cheaper to send 10 eyelets for 10 people than to send all that paper! But you're right - definitely not until next year.

I would be interested, but agree with you both that I couldn't do it until Feb or March.

I;d play in this swap...but yes way after the holidays.....love the brad exchange idea.....don't like eyelets but love brads

I like this idea. Easy on the pocket book and wouldn't take long since we would all be buying instead of making.

Count me in!

I had mentioned a fiber swap in an earlier thread. Had to think of that today when I was out shopping and all the yarn was on sale so cheap!!

Count me in if it's after the holidays. And . . . I just had to tell you . . . your user name makes me smile. You aren't my son, are you? He could be "bcarson," too. Unfortunately, I don't think he DISes.

I would be in for this if it started in January or later! Sounds fun!

 

[rsjj]

oh, i'm so in on this one! i'd be interested in fiber...since i don't use fiber, and would like to get started on it, and it'd be a good way for me to "start" a collection!
