Watch the ArtFire forums for the announcement of the next trading event. You needn't be a guild member to trade, whether during the event or not, but it's the easiest way to keep track of events as each member is emailed prior to the event.
Here are some of the items I bartered away:

My daughter, who has a huge house, was hard pressed to house us all now that two of the adult children have moved back home. It broke my heart, of course, that I got to sleep in the baby's bedroom! I also spent several nights at my baby's house: I got to drive her kidlets to school on several days and spent much more time than I normally get with her. Loved being with her. My son and his family came in for a weekend, and I got a picture with all four of my natural grandchildren in one spot. Couldn't catch the inherited grandchildren because they moved pretty fast!
We had Christmas in January and I got "grandma" picture frames from the kids. I also exercised my sore knee almost as much as my therapist would like while I chased after the 3yo. I taught him to stomp his feet and chase me -- the adult grandchildren were not amused as they work retail and sometimes get off work late. Hehe!
All of my younger grandbabies read stories to me! And although I gave my 2nd grader a Nancy Drew book thinking she could put it away for later, she had read 2 chapters before I left! Mommy got the kidlets reading aloud to me on video and is sending it to me on disc because it's too large for email. Littlest Man's Mommy got him counting to 13 (the number of stairs up to his bedroom) and singing his ABCs. I'm hoping she will get him "reading" The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything. It's a story where, on a dark windy night, a lady encounters shoes that go clomp clomp, pants that go wiggle wiggle, a shirt that goes shake shake, a pair of gloves that go clap clap, a hat that goes nod, nod, and a pumpkin head that goes boo! boo! During each encounter she says, I'm not afraid of you! Get out of my way! The 3yo does the clomp, clomp, wiggle, wiggle, shake, shake, clap, clap, nod, nod, boo! boo! and says "Get out of here shoes!" each time. So cute!
I would proudly give you a picture of the seven grandbabies, but I am not allowed to post them on the internet. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/363973.The_Little_Old_Lady_Who_Was_Not_Afraid_of_Anything">http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/363973.The_Little_Old_Lady_Who_Was_Not_Afraid_of_Anything

She is half the nation away from me and I miss her so much. In January, I'll board a plane to go see her, but even though I always spend 2 or 3 weeks there, I don't get to see her very much when I go. School, you know. She's a beautiful little girl and has enriched my life in so many ways. She was the flower girl at my wedding. And at her aunt's wedding, that took place a month before mine. She loved those flower petals! When Auntie Key (her nickname for her)got married, I was gifted with three more grandchildren to add to her brother and cousin. finally, Auntie Key joined her sibs and became a mother. I now have 7 grandchildren, three of them adults.
Birthday Girl's favorite people are her brother, who worships her, and her cousin, born the same year a few months just before she was born, whom she worships. She sells Girl Scout cookies and refuses to take direction in dance class: she does, after all, already know how to dance! She loves to read and to take photographs. Her Auntie got her a hamster for her birthday. I sent magnet blocks and jewelry.
I love you my beautiful Caitlyn!

Hehehe! Neither can I, but here it is!<div><br /></div><div>Post a comment on my blog telling me what you think of when someone says, "hippie," and I will choose the new owner of these earrings through a random number pick. If you are old enough to have lived through those years, you have very strong feelings. Please post them either way. NO BASHING of individual posters, please. That has never happened here and I hope it doesn't, but I have never brought up such a potentially controversial subject in this blog before.</div><div><br /></div><div>Because I don't want to exclude the guys, you have an option for a gift certificate to my studio for the price of the earrings (sales not included) as a prize rather than the earrings. Even if you are female and want a different item from my studio, you may also select the gift certificate.</div><div><br /></div><div>So let's do some reminiscing or some history research (Man, the Chicago Democratic Convention was over 42 years ago!) and have some fun!</div><div><br /></div><div>Winner will be announced on Friday, April 1. What a better way to celebrate April Fool's Day? But the contest is no joke.
