You Know You Want To

BREAKING NEWS! As of 1:49 EDT on Friday, we are now at 10 people and 15 kits. I'm going to limit this to 15 since it is the holiday season and all (if you don't believe me, check out your local craft store). We. Must. Limit! Everyone else, you're in. I'll be sending out emails soon. And seriously, check out that picture of Ollie. I mean, really. It's awesome.

One pin on Pinterest led to another and what did I find? Only the second-coolest swap idea ever (second to the quiet book swap, of course). Jen from this blog did a swap for a toddler's "busy bag." I'd never heard of one before, but when I saw what she had in it, I wanted it.

So who is in? You: make x number of kits, mail them to me along with $10 to cover shipping (unless you're local and it'll be free!). Me: make my own set of kits, receive everyone else's kits, distribute, and then remail to everyone! Jen did 20, but with mail and all, I don't think that would be feasible.

If you want in, just leave a comment. If you think it's too busy of a time with the holidays and all, let me know and I'll think about doing it again later. But maybe having it now just in time for winter will be a good idea. Anyway, just comment and tell me you're in because, hey, it'll be awesome.

Again, for clarification. You would pick out which "busy" kit you'd like to make (see the above link for examples, but certainly you're not limited to this). However many people are involved with this swap is how many kits you'd make (as of Friday morning, that's seven). You'd have a couple of weeks to do this. Once you're done, you mail your completed part to me in Maryland along with money for shipping (probably around $10 for the priority flat mail box.  If I didn't charge you shipping, I would lose a lot of money, something I'm not willing to do). I'd assemble them so that everyone has one of each kit. Then I'd mail them back. Let me know if this doesn't make sense.

P.S. Look at this totally awesome picture of Ollie. Doesn't he look like he's being attacked?! And yes, this is his Halloween costume. Any ideas as to what the rest of us are being?
