I'm thinking of something similar to a square exchange, but with any crafts? Like Xmas decs or jewellery or smellies or toys? I think it'd be lovely to send things out and in turn receive something lovely.

I'd still love to do this but am unsure about the £5-10 bit; I don't make things to sell- merely as presents for friends and family so not sure what to do now...

ThePigOfHappiness · 10/10/2013 11:26

I don't make things to sell either gatekeeper, it's just something small to send and recieve. Don't be put off because you haven't costed your crafts Smile

I am getting everyones PMs. I'm having a few internet problems just now so I'm having to use my phone which I can't work so if I don't reply don't worry I'll be able to get back to you in a couple of days (according to Virgin who never lie Hmm ) . There are loads of people in the swap now and everyone has really great gifts.

I'm on my phone so can't link, but there is a craft fair being organised by pistey for Winston's wish through woolly hugs if people would like to donate an item to that? The thread is on chat Smile

ThePigOfHappiness · 22/10/2013 11:45

I'd like to join in too please... How do I pm angel? I thought I had to click on your name but can't seem to...

roguepixie · 24/10/2013 10:04

sunny - up in the top right hand corner there is a purple tab "My Mumsnet" . Attached, but to the left, is a tab with an envelope. Click on that and you will be able to fill in the details to send Angel a PM. You need to make sure you get the name down correctly though. Smile

ThePigOfHappiness · 24/10/2013 10:41

Sunny, are you using desktop or mobile site or the app?

OP posts:
AngelsLieToKeepControl · 24/10/2013 10:48

I PM'd you sunny, just to make life easier. I have been known to report posts rather than PM when I'm on the mobile site Grin

sunnysunnyshine · 26/10/2013 11:35

Thanks! I'm on my phone...will respond to the mail Smile

focuson · 31/10/2013 11:20

Hi can I join in... Love ideas like this .. Only problem do not sell stuff rather do sewing and quilting for friend but have an idea in mind .. Will read through post to work out how to pass my details :)

focuson · 31/10/2013 11:21

Sorry what I mean is how to do a gift with a £10 value...

AngelsLieToKeepControl · 31/10/2013 11:25

Yes you can join. Today is the last day to sign up for it and I'll start sorting the swaps out tomorrow. Just PM me.

I'll be sending PMs out in the next few days everyone. Can't wait Grin Grin Grin

AngelsLieToKeepControl · 01/11/2013 10:45

Lots and lots of names in for this, and lots of lovely gifts in too.

I'll be sorting it out over the weekend and hopefully PM everyone on Monday/Tuesday.

Looking forward sending my little crafty present out Grin

Another Thanks to Pig for coming up with the idea.
