Mumsnet Talk

I do these on other sites I am on (babywearer, craftster) and they are always loads of fun.
If you don't know what I mean it works like this.
Group of us submit likes/dislikes/ kids ages etc
You each get a giftee chosen who you make a secret gift for, either for them, or the DC's or the home using whatever crafty skills you have.
Everyone recieves a anonymous hand crafted gift in the post and gets that warm fuzzy feeling.

If you like the idea then sign up here and I shall sort a yahoo group or something.

Oh, and don't worry if you are new to crafting, My first year I sent a crocheted hat to someone, it took me a couple of days even though it was dead easy, but she loved it, it's the thought, not the skill!

I'm in Jack.
Love the thought of getting a little surprise through the post

Okay Jack, me too!

We have done this on here in the past - normally around a theme.

We did set up a Mumsnet blog - though sadly neglected

and a group on Flickr

Oh dizzy, now I feel very untalented

I am happy to wait for an 'experienced' swapper to come along or can set up another blog? What do you all think?

I am assuming you all had the password to the blog to post yourselves?

No.

Never done it before. You're in charge JackB

<wibbles>

I'd be interested

Erm - maybe

Tenatively interested...

Okay. Keep an eye on the thread then and keep it bumped for oldies/newbies.
Shall sort something shortly!

Bumping for anymore interest.
I think best thing would be to start afresh as we have a few newbies here and so I don't step on toes of previous swaps.

We can either start a new blog where we all have teh password so can add posts so show sneaky peeks or gifts that have arrived, or we can have a yahoo group.

If you are interested then email me on JackBauerMN@googlemail.com and let me know which idea you prefer (blog or yahoo group) and I shall set it up.

you wouldn't be standing on anyone's toes and I'm sure that I have the password written down somewhere for the blog if you want to use it

Thanks dizzy, no takers yet though
<stern glare>

I would like to join in. We could do a halloween theme perhaps. I love all that fab goth stuff.

Excellent charis! We should have time for a Hallowe'en swap.
If anyone mailed me
<sob>

Seriously though, mail me by the 2nd if you do want in and I can start sorting picks for the monday after then.

Have emailed JB

have emailed you JB

Excellent, bumping again...

Have emailed you. And thought about it. And am scared [not worthy]

I'll join in - hey it's not like I haven't got enough to do!!

I'd love to do this! Great idea

Brilliant, bumping for more, and email me on JackBauerMN at googlemail.com if you want in by Friday.

I will send out details after the weekend and will update the MN Blog which I have very kindly been given the password for (thanks again vInTaGeVioLeT)

First swap will be a Hallowe'en theme as charis suggested.
And it only needs to be something small, no pressure!

Nice one JB. I am unreasonably excited!

Am hoping you got my email!
