Sounds great Susie! I wish I could make it. Maybe I can combine a visit to relatives with one of your great in-person swaps next year.

PLACE:................. INDIAN SPRINGS STATE PARK (near Forsyth, GA) DATE:.............................OCTOBER 29, 2005 TIME:.................................. 9 AM to 9 PM Since we have it all day, we are thinking of 2 meals, a speaker or 2, and a trip to a "Native Plants" Nursery. Please feel free to post any thought and ideas in our planning forum. There are no requirements for trades, you can set up pre-trades on the forum or just bring things and swap there. You can start your own list there, each person having a thread with just their stuff to keep it staight. Many of us list what we have to know how much interest there are in those items. If you register on the forum (it only takes a sec) you will be logged in then and can read everything and start posting. I'm not trying to drag anyone away from here :) but since there are several groups coming, it's easier to have a temporary site to have it all in one place. The site won't be permanent, it will be taken down about a month after the swap.
