Ok ladies, one chics' trash is another chics' treasure. This is your chance to clean out your closets and gather all of your unused/unwanted craft supplies and 'share the love' with your fellow craftinistas who may be able to use them. Bring what you have to either give or swap and whatever is leftover will be donated to Free Arts of Arizona and other arts organizations that benefit children.

So bring your trash treasures and a potluck dish to share and join the swap-o-rama fun!

I have added a Swap It message board topic for people to post anything specific they might be looking for which might spark your memory to say, "oh, I have one of those I'm not using anymore, I'll bring it to the swap!"

but here are some ideas of what to bring:
Old craft magazines, scraps of felt or other fabric, partial skeins of yarn, embroidery floss and hoops, fimo or other clay, tools, crochet hook or knitting needles, miscellaneous collage elements, stickers, ephemera, silk flowers, beads, partially finished projects or kits that you never completed, decorative paper scraps, old encyclopedias or dictionaries that could be used for collage, sewing patterns, buttons, sewing thread or supplies, rubber stamps and stamp pads, colored pencils, markers, paints, abandoned storage containers, etc. etc. etc.

    Take the challenge! Anyone who wants to swap out journal writing paper will receive a handmade journal by me using that paper. Who's game?

    •  it was a relaxing, very casual get together and we gathered some great stuff for charity and hopefully everyone left with more than they came with :o) well, maybe not everyone, but it was great to see some supplies going to good homes. Thanks everyone who made it out, it was fun spending some time just chatting with you all.
