Summer 2009 Update

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.

Making a Compost Bin

Hi all! Sorry for delays. If you would like to make a compost bin on Friday at the Crap Swap, be sure to bring the following.







1 plastic/rubber storage bin (you choose the size based on what you think your composting needs are. Mine is probably a 10-gallon)

One old newspaper (I have some if you don't)

Sand and/or dirt like you'd use for gardening/potting (let me know if you have some you can share. Otherwise I will make a trip to the store.)

Don't worry about the worms; I'll make Ryan buy us some...I don't go into bait shops. Ever.

That's all we need! See you Friday!

Let's do this thing!

Let's start swapping!

How about February 9th or 10th? Saturday or Sunday afternoon?
It would give you plenty of time to hunt and gather and still have the energy to schlep it all somewhere else.

Let's say 1 PM - I'll provide drinks of various proofs and my own 'treasures' for you to peruse...

Also - to make this easier...
Bring your clothes, old cell phones, batteries and eye glasses - we will divide up the work and take them to the proper agency. (Clothes and household goods to St Vincent de Paul, eyeglasses to Lions Club, etc) If you don't know what to do with it you can bring it and see what we can find.

I will also be scavenging for trivia night prizes... maybe you have something I can raffle off or add to a basket to raffle off!

Finally - let's compost. Erin B can post a list of supplies needed...

I'm really excited! Invite whomever you think would like to join us!
