Details of swap:
This is a swap for vegetarians, vegans and everyone in between. I'm ok with you joining up if you're looking to cut down the meat in your diet as well as long as I can find enough people willing to swap with you. Just please respect that this is a thread for vegetarian/vegans and therefore pro-meat comments are innapropriate.

We'll be swapping 1 medium, 2 smalls and 3 recipes.

Please discuss any extras with your partner and make sure they agree before you send. It's ok to say 'no' if someone asks to send extras, and it's ok to agree to extras if that suits you.

Ideas:
Aprons
Kitchen gear
Recipe storage
Pro-veg crafts - market bags, tshirts etc
Storage jars
Magnets

Let me know if you think of anything else and I'll add it to the list.


If you want to participate, information to send to organizer:

Sweet! 100% joining the moment I can!

[applesandpumpkins]

Gosh, this looks like an awesome swap. I'd love to join! I told myself I wouldn't join anymore swaps until after the holidays, but this is just too tempting. I'll be filling out the questionnaire while I decide whether I will or not. 

[dharma_rebel]

Wow, Schnerby! Thanks for getting this going. I'll be sending in my info - hopefully today.

applesandpumpkins - technically, since sendouts are after the holidays, I think you're safe. 

[schnerby]

I'm excited to get this going. For some reason I've been sketching cartoon carrots to express my happiness.

One sign up already. It's good to read someone else answering along the same lines as I feel about food.


Applesandpumpkins - the send outs are mid January, so does that count?

And, just in case anyone wonders why I'm asking you to be specific with your address, last time I organised a swap I got a whole bunch of addresses which didn't say the country.

WA may mean Washington State to an American, but to me it's Western Australia. I got another one that was a Canadian province. No idea how I was supposed to know that one!

Now I know why half of my friends on myspace (do people still use myspace?) showed that they lived in Western Australia!

[mom2em]

I told myself no more swaps until after the holidays but I am seriously thinking on joining this one!

[schnerby]

But see this one is after the holidays! It's a mid January send out!
