Who is interested in participating in another swap?
If so, how about posting your ISOs (and a bit of what you'll be offering if you'd like) and we'll get it started by early May, and ship packages by early June. Any other ideas, post 'em!

Me first!

ISO (used items are fine):
- any videos/DVDs of homebirths (to show to the boys before the birth; I don't mind copies!)
- Spiritual Midwifery, by Ina May Gaskin
- lotions (vegan ingredients only, ie. no gelatin, lanolin, honey), I love most floral, musk, and fruit scents.
- picture frames & scrapbooking items & stickers (blues, greens, purples preferred...and we're always searching for star or mouse themed baby items, since that was our "theme" for the room, especially little blue mice and yellow stars!)
- wooden or cloth baby toys/rattle
- new mama pads with snap or velcro wings
- coupons for use at Michael's and/or A.C. Moore (craft stores)
- and I LOVE brilliantly colored tie-dyed items (for baby or me! LOL), or asian-inspired decor.
- some new baby board books.
- a black un-padded ring sling (something plain for fall/winter!)
- landscaping books.

to offer:
- used Baby Gap newborn clothes (I had a bunch of duplicate sets, gently used, 100% cotton)
- some extra cotton-topped hemp diaper doublers (boy ones are used, girl ones are new)
- home-made greeting cards (birthday, thank you, new baby, congratulations, etc. You name it!)
- brand new package of breast pads (I never needed them)
- some baby scrapbook items; plus I'll stamp any custom designs/themes for background paper, etc.; or I'll custom make a scrapbook for baby pictures, all you have to do is add photos and vital info!
- and I can easily buy any natural baby products and herbal/homeopathic remedies.

Homemade stuff is definitely okay! More than okay, it's great! But if people aren't crafty, store-bought is fine, used (in good condition) is fine, whatever!
