I'd love one too, I've been decluttering and have plenty of nice things I could send.

I don't think my health will allow me to run it, though, pity.

 

When is the Spring Cleaning swap usually? I'm really looking forward to that one!

 

I...could do it with some help? Might have to be a bit later than usual.

Would anyone be down for another comic swap right away? I'm going through my stack and realizing I have lots to part with!

Good god, I'm having so much fun with these suggestions already. You guys are awesome.

So this might seem odd, but I'm wondering what scents you would think seem kinda apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic? I'm open to different interpretations of that, too! I'm knee-deep in an apocalyptic/dystopian fiction phase and want some scents to match!

Either or, really. I'd probably leave it open for people to either buy new items to send to their swap partner and/or send them unloved items in their craft stashes. Leave lots of wiggle room for people, just so long as the unloved craft supplies are in good condition.

 

 

Sounds like fun!

Would anyone be interested in a craft supplies swap? Not right now. I'd want to run it after the holidays, definitely after my 12 Days of Christmas concludes. But, a conversation I was having made me think it would be awesome to receive craft supplies in a swap. Things like papers, yarn, glitter mixes or straight glitter, glues, gemstones, Swarovski crystals (or knock-offs if it's someone's bag), paint, brushes, etc. Whatever someone might put in their questionnaire as something they'd desire to receive. I just thought this might be something fun and a bit different? Yay? Nay?

Like as in stuff you already have, or new things? I could be interested in this!

I'm most likely going as Corporate Wonder Woman (or the Wonder Woman version of Secret Identity Clark Kent): black blazer and pants, boots, glasses, and a white button-down shirt unbuttoned just enough to show a Wonder Woman tank top beneath.

 

I'll probably wear Heroine, or maybe Liberty.

 

Both of those sound like perfect choices!

Can we bring this back for this week? Reccomending BPALs based off of Halloween costumes is the most fun!

 

would totally partake. I love swapping, but my finatial situation is going to/is drastically changing soon. Reminds me of the Book/soap/sock swap a little! I loved that swap!

 

Psst.

 

Oh, Em-!

For the winter swap season, I know lots of people can't participate because of finances - it's expensive to buy presents and do a swap! - so is there any interest in a low budget/no budget swap where all you'd have to pay for is shipping (and however much else you'd want to buy)?

 

I have an idea for a winter warmth swap. You could buy or make something cozy like socks or a hat or a scarf, include a burned dvd or second hand book, and make or buy a warm beverage thing (tea/cocoa/cider/etc), and make or buy a small savory snack (popcorn package/crackers/etc).

 

It would be a very small swap just to get people who want to swap a chance to spoil someone with all the fixins for a little cozy night in! I was thinking maybe mailing out beginning of December so it doesn't conflict with the holidays or other holiday themed swaps.

 

Thoughts?

I would love to see a book soap sock swap for Autumn or Winter, I missed out the first time. Maybe we could add tea or coffee to it as well?

I would get behind this as a low-budget alternative to 13 nights and switch witch. Money is tight right now but I miss my Halloween swaps.

Travelling book and comic boxes would be AWESOME.

 

 

I would love a comic book / graphic novel swap!!!!

 

Just lettling both of you awesome people and anyone else who might be into it know that you still have a week to sign up for the comic swap! It looks like we have people at a bunch of different expirence levels signing up so I hope no one feels shy about joining! It's going to be super awesome.

 

 

Anyone for a regular book one?

 

 

Always!

 

Just a reminder, any new swaps posted after 5:00 pm eastern today will not be approved until Monday.

 

I'm just about to submit one!

 

 

 

 

Anyone for a regular book one?

YES!

Sure!

doublehelix and I are going to try and get a comic/graphic novel swap up by Friday, in case anyone is interested!

Keltie, I would definitely do a comic related swap! I think I sent you some comics in one of our swaps, too . A travelling box may get expensive if internationals are included, and I could see people hesitant to join to pay those fees.... I would totally be in for a regular exchange swap!

You sure did, And I loved them! I'm almost thinking a regular exchange might be best. I tend to read a lot of stuff with super adult content, and I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. If I were to start the box, alot of people wouldn't find anything they liked. This way people can be matched up with like-minded others

 

Hmm...maybe I'll start on a ?air this week...If anyone wants to co-organize, let me know! (doublehelix? )

 

edit- It would also be a cheap swap as commics can fit into flat envelopes, and even if you have to buy them first issues are usually cheap!

I have a huge bag of books I need to pass on to better homes. If this is open to internationals, I'm in!

 

Would there be any interest in a comic swap of sorts? I'm not sure what the best format would be, but I have a ton of first issues I've already bought trades for that need new homes! I don't know if it would be best to match people up or to do a circle swap...Imput would be great for those who would be into it!

The negativity that has been going on in the swap threads is disappointing.

What about Jarreth? David Bowie defiantly had his gender f*ck moments (it's lovely- musk and vanilla and leather...yum!)

Mermaid is beachy, for sure. But maybe a bit too floral? It might be worth tracking down an imp of, if you're desperate. Notes are: pink seaweed, lotus petals, Tahitian tiare, white gardenia, orange blossom, sea salt, and vanilla-infused benzoin.

All dirt, and a tinge of something rotting in the back. Good lord. While interesting and a fun expire cd, this is so not for me.

To me, and on my skin, Tramp was much more about the grass fresh spring scent...I didn't really get that off of Dance of Death, but maybe others did!

I have scoured this forum for comparisons to the departed Tramp. I have spent COPIOUS amounts of money and tried to even have the scent recreated on Etsy - all in vain. So far I have narrowed down these as being potential Tramp dupes based on previous posts on this forum:

 

Dance Of Death

 

Scarecrow

 

Belladonna

 

Greed

 

 

I realize once they are on my body, they will transform... so.... just IN THE BOTTLE - what do you guys think smells most like the beloved, the revered, the sacred scent of Tramp. I love it so much I can't even function.

 

I have bought patchouli and oak moss combo oil - nope

 

I have bought weird combinations of patchouli and oakmoss with other things... nope....nada

 

I could just buy all 4 samples of the above but I'd like to know opinions first. I really really would appreciate input here.

 

Thank you!

 

IMO, it would be safe to loose Dance of Death. Have you tried Zombi or any of the other dirt oils?

When wet, this has a fuzzy, leafy wool smell. Kinda cozy, but also chilly. As it dries, it starts to sweeten and warm up! The wool turns softer, more into cashmere. The berries and musk start to show up, as well. This comes off as the warmest, cosiest skin scent, with just the slightest chilly touch in the back! Love love love this!
