    Default August Swap: Your city

    This next swap will include items from your city/town. Items like postcards, keychains, mugs, souvenir items, tshirts, bumper stickers, etc.

    Anything you might come across in your local gift shop that shows some sort of culture from where you are from.

    sign up to this thread. Deadline to sign up will be August 7th. I'll assign partners on the 8th.
    If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online. It's internationally syndicated through Universal Uclick. Thank you for supporting Frugal Village.

    I'm in, but it will have to be the closest city to me. Our little town doesn't have any sovenirs, nor a gift shop!!

    Can be a state thing too. I don't want it to be too difficult to find items.

    I'll leave this open until later today and then assign partners.

    We did something similar in my Activity Director's group... we made it a "visit my town" kind of thing. For those of you who are stuck for ideas, some of the activity boxes also included local foods, newspapers, and travel brochures (free!) from the local area.

    Like I said above, I love this theme & can't wait to do it!
