| I'm pretty new to this site and I've noticed that the members do round robins with seeds and other items. Has a round robin for scrapbooking ever been tried? I know that I sometimes buy embellishments and then realize that it wasn't really what I wanted for a particular page and so it sits until I decide to use it. It'd be cool to trade them off with another member.
I've never done a round robin yet, but I think it would be alot of fun to do one for maybe just stickers, brads and other small embellishments.
Is there a member here who's participated in the round robins who would give her/his opinion on doing this? I'd love to be in one :) |

| I've never been in a round robin but I sure have lots of things sitting around that I thought I would use and didn't. Or packages that I used one piece out of and now the rest just sits. |

| Well, let's see how many are interested and maybe we can get one going. If no one else wants in, then maybe the 3 of us can figure out how to trade some of our items. :)

| Might be a dumb idea but how about a paper exchange? I have TONS of 12 x 12 paper I thought I would use and never did... |

| I was just looking through my old "Memory Makers" magazines, and a Round Robin was mentioned. I was in one a few years ago, and it was a huge success! You take the items you want from the box, and add the same number of items from your collection you no longer want/need. I have tons of things I would be willing to put in: paper, pens, stickers, diecuts. Please count me in. |

| Me, me, me! I'm fairly new into scrapbooking (early this year), but I've accumulated A LOT of stuff. I think I like buying the stuff better than I do scrapbooking! :-) As long as you are waiting til after the holidays, I'd love to participate! |

| I think that's a good idea.. check back here after the holidays and then we'll con.. umm, I mean.. PERSUADE someone to head the Round Robin. :)
Guess between now and the first of the year, I need to go through all my things and see what I'm willing to part with. Are we going to limit it to just paper or shall we do a box that would accomodate both paper and embellishments?
LAKelley2, I'm with you.. buying the stuff is SOOOOOO much fun! I don't have a clue what I'll use it with, but I just KNOW I'll use it for something... eventually LOL!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

| Oh, I would like to see more than just paper. I think the one who started this thread would be a great one to head up the Round Robin. |

| I would like to trade more than just paper too. I have different themes of things that I'll probably never use again like baby, toddler and wedding. I also have a lot of the same color of acid-free pens. This will be a lot of fun.
I agree that the person who started the thread would be a good candidate to start the RR, if she feels comfortable. |

| hmmm.. when I said con, I mean persuade someone.. I wasn't thinking of ME LOL!!!!
Well, I have from now till January to figure it out.. so what the heck.. I'll give it a go and we'll see if I'm ever put to the task again when it's over 
If there's anyone who's had experience of handling a RR and would be willing to give advice, please D-mail me.. I welcome all advice!

| sarahlee, I just stumbled across your renewal of this thread (good job). I didn't see it the first time around.
Yes, I would be interested in swapping some things as described above. I've never participated in any kind of RR though... |

| I guess we need to wait to see if more people are interested. For now, f you have any questions about what a Round Robin entails, just ask! |
