Hobby Swap

[cjsmith]

Here's a swap meet I'd love to go to. Hobby swap! Bring your old hobbies and go home with secondhand hobbies you get from someone else!

I'll probably never make candles again, so I'd bring my books and molds and paraffin and colors. I'll bring my rollerblades with elbow and knee pads. I'll bring my cake decorating books and my collection of fancy icing tips. I might go home with pliers & dowel & a bunch of thick wire to turn into chain mail, or perhaps a power sander, or a beginner's archery bow and arm guard.

Potluck with ingredients specified seems like a very good way to go. So does "children are welcome, but our house isn't childproof."

Hosting is something I've never really done much, so it's outside my comfort zone. Having specific answers like these makes it... well, not completely inside my comfort zone, but not quite AS far outside it!

Thank you.

As my party invitations say - "My house isn't child-safe... it isn't really *adult*-safe, either". This was emphasized by Nancy's kid making a beeline for the rechargable circsaw :-)

That's really amusing! (Well, the part about Nancy's daughter is amusing 'cause she didn't get hurt.) I wish I could steal that line, but my house is fairly adult-safe. Adults who are awake and not too drunk, anyway. :-)

May you host comfortably someday, then. If you wanna.
