[Nfb-krafters-korner] Gift Exchange, Input Please

[minh ha]

The highest I would go for a gift exchange is $15. Since this is a
crafty group, I would love it if I could receive a small hand-made
item of some kind or a crafting supply like a couple skeins of an
interesting yarn. I also love the idea of holding a gift exchange for
our furry children. I'm not sure how you would pull this off though. I
don't think I could afford to ship internationally.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
