Wow, what a great swap. TONS of people (and even more tons of stuff!!) We had some great stuff to raffle off from Natural Decor Design - 4 lucky winners!! Next swap... Nevada County @ Gold Country Gymnastics on 2/6, then a new one in Cameron Park on 2/27 (looking for a mom or mom's group to take the Cameron Park/El Dorado Hills one over, so it can happen on a regular basis.) and one in Rocklin again on 3/20... and oops I did it again .... Colfax on 3/27. On and on they go. Pretty soon they will be everywhere! So what did I get for my yet to be born babe at this swap? Well - let me say this - anyone who knows me or has seen me at the swaps knows I barely ever pick anything up for myself, except for when I am packing stuff for donation at the end - then maybe I come across something I could use... So, thank goodness for one of fearless sidekicks - Carolyn. She has been volunteering for p.l.s. since swap #2 & if it weren't for her (and other volunteers that find stuff for me) I probably still wouldn't have brought anything home for myself. So far, I have found a breast pump, a few gender neutral onesies, and a crib set - now this is just for the baby yet to be born- I do pick a few things up for the girls of course when I can, Lola is easy, but it's hard to find stuff for Milla, because she only wants to wear stuff that is either pink or that twirls - preferably both. Carolyn actually put aside the crib set for me - and I am not even sure what I am having, if it's another girl, this set won't work & I will bring it to the next swap. I don't really like getting a bunch of stuff right now because the baby isn't due until July, so if you need any of those things right now (ie breast pump, crib set) please let me know - I would hate to keep something for six months that someone else could be using. Anyways, I am going to keep posting things here that I do pick up for the baby on the way, I want people to know how easy it is to get everything you need from the swaps. However, Mat's mom (my mother in law) LOVES to shop & of course I can't turn down any gifts - :) - so barring any gifts from family, everything I buy will be recycled (aka used)- Hope to see you soon, and until then...
happy swapping!
