"How to Host a Trading Party"

Recently, my friend Michelle did a great post on "How to Host a Trading Party." I love this! Trading parties are one of my new favorite things. It's a fabulous idea in times like these! A trading party has some wonderful functions:

• Spend time hanging out and getting to know some really cool people.
• Get rid of stuff you don't want.
• Get stuff you DO want.
• Have fun!

Sounds great—sign me up! After reading Michelle's post, I'm inspired. I just may be hosting one of these really soon. The women in my church hosted a clothing swap this past summer, and it was so much fun! I'm thinking I may do a book and movie swap, like Michelle's, though. I'll keep you posted!
