New Purse

Traded with Lindsey - a new purse with a woven straw and sage colored weave and faux-leather brown trim/handles/straps. It has a beige lining; zipper - for the girls' tennis shoes.

As a side note, I'm working on getting pictures up on the web of all the items that I have to trade, so you don't need to "listen" to all my catalog-style descriptions.

Let me know if you are interested in trading something for the purse or anything else I have!

Big Trades and Donations!

Thanks, TRV! You are fantastic!

Clay donated a book, The Last Shot: City Streets, Basketball Dreams. Looks interesting. Thanks for digging around for stuff twice!

Stan made a trade with me: $5 for a bunch of PS2 games (see the list) - fantastic!

And Kisu - quite awesome. I traded the "designer" Scrabble game for a Dell computer (the hard drive/tower part )! Yeah! It actually has a bunch of software on it as well - I'll ask Kisu what (can't remember). Think I will go ahead and sell that one (unless someone has something to trade that they feel is worth about the same or more - Jen says that she thinks her friend Ricky should donate his old Civic - ha!)

Thanks again everyone! The Sheepfold will be grateful!

Now someone's gotta trade something, right?

Thanks for the donation!

Got it! Thanks to Eileen for the $10 donation to The Sheepfold - sorry I couldn't remember it was you! Thanks for the heads-up and for your contribution!

Girls' Shoes!

Got some cute girls' tennis shoes/sneakers. They're white with pink and they light up while you walk - girls' size 7. Thanks, Andrea!

If you have something to trade or donate something, or are interested in helping me sell some of this stuff for the Sheepfold, leave a comment, or email or call me.

Don't forget to look at what I have on the right side of this blog.

Boys' Clothes and a Cash Donation to the Sheepfold

Got 2 bags full of boys' clothes from Cathie (Thanks!) - pants, shirts, sweaters, just about everything. If you're interested in some of the clothes, call, email, or leave a comment and I'll dig in deeper to what I've got. If no one wants to trade, they'll go straight to the Sheepfold.

I also got $10 donated from someone at work today (Monday), too. Only problem - can't remember who handed it to me! So sorry! I specifically remember being told it was a donation for The Sheepfold, but I don't remember from whom! Horrible, horrible Mondays. If it was you, can you please email/call/leave a comment for me, so I can thank you properly?

Anyway, rumors of more things to come for trades and/or donations! Please let me know if you see something you want to swap for!

Update

Traded another $5 bill for a pair of fitted "d" jeans - size 12. The jeans have some embellishment on the back pockets. Very nice, Tammy! Thanks!

Update on the pair of boys' Vans - they are NOT actually new, but have only been worn a few times. The canvas part feels new, but they have apparently been worn through a little bit of mud. Good condition, still! Let me know if you want to trade!

BTW, if you're wondering where I got all these $5 bills, they are part of the church project. The church as a whole is wanting to use our resources for helping our community, and they have been part of this $5 thing. Still have a few more if you are interested in $5!

Leave a comment or call or email me if you want to make a trade and/or buy anything you see.

New Stuff

Got some more items traded and donated!

Got a beautiful silver serving tray from Robin, and some boys' shoes (Vans slip-ons, size 13 boys) and designer Scrabble set from Cathie!

WoW T-Shirt

Actually made a trade! Traded a World of Warcraft T-shirt for $5 with Clay. The shirt's white, with a small WoW logo on the front and a large female elf image on the back. XL. Washed but never worn.

I know you really want the shirt.

Leather Brief Case

Yeah! I've now got a leather brief case to trade! It's black, and has several large compartments. It's also large enough to hold a laptop. Thanks, Patti!

First Items to Trade!

I have acquired something to trade! Yeah! (It's listed on the sidebar on the right.) Several people have told me that they want to trade or donate, so if you're interested in either of these, contact me quick before someone else grabs them! Here's what I have:

DVD - The Sixth Sense
DVD - Knocked Up
$5

(BTW, If you don't have my contact info, and would like to propose a trade, please leave a comment on any of my posts.)

The Plan

So I'm trying to support a local charity - The Sheepfold, a shelter and ministry that provides housing, training, and other support for homeless and abused women with children.

http://www.thesheepfold.org

Here's the idea: I've got $5. If you're willing, I will give you the $5 if you give me something in return that you think is worth at least $5.

I will then continue trading with other people until I can't make any more trades, or until I find a perfect item to donate to The Sheepfold.

At the end, I'll either donate the item directly to The Sheepfold, or sell it and donate the money instead.

I've been inspired by "The Red Paperclip Guy" (http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com) and my church to try to do something big (http://www.thecrossing.com). My church as a whole (The Crossing) is trying to do something big to make a difference in the lives of people around us.
