that is the coolest idea fricken ever !

wonder if we could start one with fruit/veggie seeds =D

...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist

Wouldn't that be so cool, finding a packet of lovely heirloom seeds for seasonal planting? *sigh*
I think not everyone would benefit though. Perhaps we could start a seed exchange program within this group? Anyone interested in having some offer what they've got and request what they want?
I am going to stick with stuffies though, I'm good at those and boy ~ do I EVER have the stash of supplies to make a BUNCH! My mom lives in the states too, and my little 'sis in BC and my other 'sis in Hong Kong and my aunt on the east coast and my girls in TO, Niagara, LA and a fella in San Fran and another in Miami... I can get peeps to leave my creations all over the WORLD! I am stoked.

send some to misssion i will spread em around (stuffies i mean ...or seeds ! lol)

You know what? You got it! Once we get settled into our new place and I get the studio up and running (oops, but after xmas) I'm going to just bust out as many as I can and send them all over the place! I know so many friends will help me with this, you can angel deliver some of them for me for sure! Cool, coast to coast and three countries on my list so far, whee ooh!

I want to leave beaded butterflies with uplifting messages around town. I already have a huge box of really nice cellophane envelopes to put them in from way back when I was selling my art cards; just have to find time to make more butterflies. I'm not too good with stuffed toys. The only stuffed item I ever made was a stuffed pale pink silk hand, holding a stuffed golden heart.

I love the seed sharing idea, Jodi.

Oooh, making stuffies is so Easy!! If you look on the Toy Society home page there are links to a few free patterns with instructions. Give it a try some time, you'll be amazed as what you can do...

okay...

so hate me for feeling this way

and I am not trying to be pessimistic or anything like that

but seriously

what if someone thinks that it is an implanted bomb

or a bunch of powdered drugs

or something like that

i mean

if i saw it

i probably wouldn't pick it up

because i am not sure what is in it

or what it is composed of

but then again

a part of me might just think " oh... what the heck. stop being paranoid"

and take it home with me

and feed it lots of spinach salad LOL

i guess its cuz

it really is a gift and new for me to see random objects

out there just for the taking

hand made with love and attention

i think it is beautiful

i like the heirloom seeds idea better though

because in that way nothing ends up in the landfills

i think the crafts were cute and adorable

and i really liked them

but i like things that are more readily biodegradeable

or even better yet

something i can put in my salad

I didn't even think of that. Then again, I live in Canada so... we don't face the same issues as our neighbours in the states.

But did you see those cute little packages of handmade goodies? Who would go to all that trouble to make trouble? You'd think someone with those sorts of evil intentions would just get a pre-made thing from some crap store instead.

Oh well, whatever suspicions people might have it's become a huge, worldwide thing with tons of drops offs and finds all the time. I love it.

geeeezzz you are right coco... i mean with things like kwan mentioned... big beaded butterflies with uplifting messages... i'm willing to take a chance

i have yet to see one of these cute drop offs though

when i do

i will take them and make a little home for them and jump for joy

and also talk to them while i make my spinach salad

and if they behave... i may just let them take a bite of the deelish greenies

yea send me some , if they blow up , well then i will blow up happy lol

Blow up toys, this is what you want to receive in the mail eh Jodi? I'll have to re-evalute my opinion of your habits I think... heh.

My girlfriend is having a crafting sesh at her place this week but I can't start this project until we move. Sad for me but so happy about her doing it, that's thrilling!

LMAO coco !

LOL

always wondered about jgunn

Slightly related is Book Crossing,(http://www.bookcrossing.com/) which is an online database and ideas on re-homing books by leaving them in public places, with a sticker on them that says Free Book!

You can track them in the database, hoping that their new owners will register that they found them.

It's a nice way to pass along books that you no longer need to hold on to, allowing them to be released into the Wild.

Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much
We are all in this together!

hey raevynn

i would hire coco and kwan to design the stickers though
