So, friends, we are official. You know--facebook validation. Official. Join the group on facebook.
It's a closed group, so we don't get crap-swap stalkers. If you know of anyone who should be invited, let me know. Or I think I can make you an officer so you can invite folks.
1) We're discussing dates for the next one, so make your suggestions on facebook, or leave a comment here.
2) If you have anything special and want to whet our appetites about what glorious goodies you're bringing (papasan chairs, ladders, a purple floral quilt your grandma bought for you and your husband...), feel free to post photos and/or details.
Stay tuned for a firm date and time. I'm volunteering my house.

You can also donate items here...
Leftovers Etc. uses old materials to make arts and crafts with children. We're hoping to get them here for Earth Day, and they're very cool people. If you have any of these items, consider bringing them to the next Crap Swap and we can make a donation (via Donna, probably) to Leftovers. Thanks!
