  Thinking ahead to April SWAP Reply Contact First off...is anyone interested in another SWAP for April? I had been considering doing a swap for those that like to garden..and doing a seed swap...members could place their "region" in their profile or the swap thread along with if they prefer a flower or non flowering plant, indoor/outdoor etc. Now I am thinking seeds because they can easily be sent in regular postal envelopes and shipping would be really easy/cheap. The obvious downside is obviously some folks do not garden and they'd not be interested....but the time of year is really conducive to this swap and I really like the ease of shipping aspect. Thoughts? Gina H. dog.community Moderator Let's get it crunk upon, have fun upon...up in this dancery!"-Mary J. Blige

  Re: Thinking ahead to April SWAP Reply Contact I don't participate just because of my location, but how about a spring photograph swap?  Most of us have cameras, right?  It doesn't need to be "professional" by any stretch of the imagination...just everyone takes a picture of something in their surrounding area that really says "spring" to them...whether it be the flowers starting to poke up at the park, or melting ice, or whatever...be as creative as possible. Then just mail the photo...could have fun when the swap is over with a thread containing all the pics sent...in it. Then again...I don't participate so that none of you have to pay crazy overseas shipping fees...so feel free to tell me it's a moronic idea.    Kate - Dog.community Administrator Jokers to the right.

Kate sit down.... I actually think that might be a GREAT idea....so we'll see what everyone else thinks...we could do both..."Spring Theme Swap" send whatever says Spring to you...seeds....pictures....pressed flower bookmarks.....gardening gloves..

  Re: Thinking ahead to April SWAP Reply Contact I don't know how the swap bot thingy arranges who sends to who, but what if there are say 6 people in the USA and 4 in Canada in the swap.  Then what if the people in the usa swap seeds around, and the people in canada swap seeds, then we don't have to worry about cross border seeds stuff. Or, we could always just hide the seeds lol and smuggle them across!
