A Special Trade!!!

This Trade is NOW CLOSED

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Thursday...Its time for another fun Trade it Thursday!!!! I was REALLY excited on how much response I have received last week..Thanks guys SOOO much.... my followers ROCK!!!! Do I say that a lot??? LOL!!!!

Before I move on to the winner of last weeks trade...I wanted to just update a little info for you. I received a few emails last week to what I would like for my trades, and also could I make a want list. With a lot of thinking I decided to not make a want list for a couple of reasons. The first reason is I want everyone to have a fair shot at the trade, some people might have what I want on the list and others may not its important to me to keep this fun!! The other reason is there is a ton of products out there that I am sure that I don't even know exists that I would probably love to swap for....I just ask that the trades be around the price value..Many products vary on used/new and of course where you purchase it. I hope this all makes sense..

One more thing....I was only going to do a trade bi-weekly but I decided with this being BRAND NEW and all the response I have received and so grateful for at least for the next few months I will do a WEEKLY TRADE!!!



TRADING WINNER!!!!

I have thought long and hard and came up with a trading winner this week!!! It was very hard to chose and every one's trades were GREAT!!!! Thank You Everyone!!! But I decided to trade with DEBBIE!! WOOT WOOT email me at crystalkbk30@gmail.com so we can swap products!!! Thanks girl so much hope we can put these unused products to use!!!!

Are you guys ready for the next trade????......I titled this trade as SPECIAL because I have a little story.....I was out shopping and just had to stop in Archivers to see what they had new for that week....Well this never happens to me, but I am a HUGE Basic Grey Fan..When I usually go there to get the new paper line it is already sold out or they only have one of the packs I wanted.

But....... when I stopped in last weekend, the lady was just hanging up the NEW BASIC GREY paper.....she said it just came in today and will probably be gone today!!! So I took two..one of each of the new lines and walked around the store and thought to myself maybe I should buy two more to offer as a trade to my followers...I am sure this paper might be tough to get at first. So I picked up two extra pads for you guys!!!! The whole point of this Trade it Thursday is to get some things out of my room that I don't use but I just couldn't resist LOL....I know how sometimes its hard to get something NEW and I was lucky that day and wanted to share with all of you!!! FYI I may do this once in the while if I get lucky again or find something cool!!! :)

So MY TRADE for this week is valued around $12.00 it is the New Basic Grey 6X6 paper packs Olivia and Oliver...Oh my the colors in these are GREAT!!!!

Anyone up for trading???? Please just leave a comment in the comment section on what you would like to trade. I will then post NEXT Thursday who I decided to trade with.....This trade will end Wednesday June 30th at Noon Eastern Time....

*******Don't forget for my safety only the only requirement I have is I must receive your product first. If you are in the US I will mail your trade out the very day I receive mine and will be priority shipped. If you are outside of the US I can't guarantee priority shipping but your product will ALSO be mailed the very day I receive mine.*******

See you next Thursday for another fun trade!!!! Have a great week everyone!
