We did this for the holidays and I think it worked pretty well.

Although the holidays may be over, there are birthdays and other events throughout the year for which we may need to find gifts.

So, this thread is to help us find items in which we are interested, as well as to help us get rid of items we no longer need. It's almost like an online garage sale.

So, please use this thread to list any items you are in search of or any items you'd be interested in selling or trading. :)

Mahalo Amy!! This will involve a lot of thinking and planning and I cannot wait to see what is posted!!

I'll start!

All three of my monkeys have February birthdays. So, I'm on the lookout for reasonably-priced presents, even though we just celebrated Christmas.

I'm always looking for:

Secrets of Droon series books
Nintendo DS games
Game Boy Advance games (the Nintendo DS lite can play only Game Boy Advance games...not Game Boy color)

That's what I can think of for the time being...I'm sure I'll come up with more at another time. :)

I have 4 of the Secrets of Droon
1,2, and 6 and one special edition # 1

Children books I have currently some horse ones up on ebay.

I also have some craft books up on ebay, at fixed prices. If you see something you like but not happy with my price, let me know. Maybe we can work something out.

This should be a good thread to watch.

If anyone wants to trade cotton material, let me know. Always up for trading some ---have lots of brights, some background ecru and white type prints and lots of floral, along with a fair amt. of flannel. I like butterflies, sunflowers, florals and brights. I DON'T HAVE any older looking - like Aunt Grace prints, kids prints, or western or very many animal prints. I can scan it for you.

Will also sell it if you don't have anything to trade.
