Okay (she said nervously), maybe I can host this.

Timing: It didn't take much calendar-glancing to push this thing into early December at the earliest. If people are too busy at that time of year we could have it in mid-January. Opinions?

Who gets what: Any ideas on who should decide, or how the decision should be made, on who goes home with what? Suppose I did really bring my cake decorating kit, in which several people expressed interest. Who gets it? First-come-first-served, or whoever pays a monetary asking price as at some swap meets, or whoever's "really" going to do something with it, or whoever has something the original owner wants in trade, or whoever's hands are emptiest? Speaking of that last, suppose I (or anyone) brought only one item, and maybe nobody even wanted it; would it cause hard feelings if I then go home with stuff for four new hobbies?

Comments and flamewars here, and if there's no clear resolution I'll make a poll. :-)

what about long-distance participant?! i don't know that me and my yet-to-be-parted-with crafty stuff could swing a trip out there anytime soon.

*pouts*

i'm with you on the fabric. i've been hoarding fabric for ages. i'll part with my acrylic yarn (since i'm replacing it with wool and other fancy stuff), but the fabric is much harder

We should do a midwestern one!

i'd be up for that! i see you're in IL. i'm in Ohio, very nearish to the IN border. gotta find us more midwest people and an agreed-upon location to have it.

but i'm slowly giving things away. i've already pared down quite a bit. i'm down to a tiny bit of acrylic yarn (just whole skeins of my stnadard-issue baby blanket yarn), knitty stuff (all brand-new), stamping/scrapping stuff and sewing stuff. yes, those last two can be pared down, but but but but ... all in due time.
