So what are you waiting for?! GET BUSY!!! Get out there and join a SWAP or play a game of BINGO on a forum! It's FREE & you could win some fantastic goodies! Or if you are scared you won't get what you, in a swap, then find something you do like and ask that dealer if she will do a swap for it!! There is probably something you make that she would like to have too!

Right now "The Primitive Pantry" is having a wonderful CHRISTMAS swap hosted by ME!! :)
It's called GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST! If you like antiques you may want to join in on this fabulous swap!

Just remember to have FUN! There should be no stress involved in joining in on these activities!!
