Swap Crazy!

Ok, I am going swap crazy. But I read about this over at mommycoddle and how could I possibly resist?! Its a swap between families all over the world with the theme "To brighten the winter(rainy day) Blues".

The idea is put together a swap for the children which is based around handmade or hand-me-down goodies. This is such a lovely idea and means that the kids get involved too. It also makes economic sense for me, because it doesn't involve spending money (which, lets face it, when you are a stay-at-home mom, this is necessary!). The only thing you need to spend money on is postage (and treats if you want to add treats). Just aim to keep your parcel small and nice and light and it won't break the bank at the post office.

I am quite excited about this one! Its just so nice corresponding with people around the world, who in the blogging commununity, just seem so close.

Hi Max

I really like the idea of the low cost swops. It'd be great if I could do something like that with my kids in school - swopping with other schools around the world. DO you think it's possible? ANy ideas how I could start this off?

love mom
