This is in response to an earlier post that mentioned homemade gifts...
There are quite a few of us here who are crafty, and I was wondering if anyone would like to get together to start an online Christmas bazaar.
We could make things to trade or sell, and share our talents...and maybe get our Christmas shopping done at the same time.
Each person would announce what items they have for trade or sale (or what items they are looking for) and then if you want to buy/trade for an item or can make that item, you contact them.
The items could be anything from photographs to handmade x-mas cards or stationery sets (that you make on the computer) to aprons or sewn items, crocheted or knitted items, dolls, wooden toys, etc... It could be wool from your sheep/goats, or feathers or blown chicken or goose eggs...
You could do soaps, tea and coffee mixes, homemade books/journals, scrapbooks, jewelry, or more... Decorated candy jars, personalized wooden signs (painted or done with a saw), painted wooden spoons, a gift basket of items - there are so MANY possibilities and I'd be glad to give suggestions for anyone who wants to make something and can't think of what to do.
It'd be pretty much up to each person to decide how much they can do in the time we have until Christmas, and once a trade/sale is initiated, the two people would negotiate privately about the details of the trade or sale, including colors, sizes, items for trade or amount of the sale and the date that the item is needed by.
Anyone interested?
