Clothing Swap!

There have always been several things in my life I can't seem to shake. One of them is, you know... doing the "green thing" (recycling, using cloth diapers, etc) and the other is saving money (I'm otherwise known as Mrs. Cheap-o). Luckily, though, sometimes being a cheap hippy has it's upside. I'm throwing a clothing swap! It's just a little shin-dig at my house - ladies only (sorry boys) in February. What happens is guests will bring some no longer wanted gently used clothing, dump them in a beautiful heap of splendor on my living room floor and once everything has been sorted, guests will take some new pieces home to love and cherish. The remaining clothes get donated to a local women's shelter (and last time I hosted an event like this had 16 garbage bags left over) - and I had an entire new wardrobe to waltz around in. Fabulous! Can't flippin' wait.

Here's my poster, which I will allow anyone to take from my site and turn into a poster for their own event. Just add the date and address and let me know how it goes! (Okay, if you're going to print it, please email me first for a larger copy. I'd just hate to have my drawings printed at a quality so ugly that it made my doll look like a lego person. In fact, if you ask nicely enough, I'll add a date and address on there for you - just pass on the "green" love!).
