If I could only write about one event, I would write about Swap-o-rama-rama. As a matter of fact, I DO write about this event quite a lot (and you can read all the postings here) ... but that is because it is truly the best place to score free clothing and get awesomely inspired to "pimp" your own clothes. I always leave this swap with a bag full of clothes and the desire to cut up and redesign the clothes in my closet that I "almost" like. (Hey, that's me in the picture on the left making a super cool shirt out of a dress.)One note: Bring your own good fabric cutting scissors. There are never enough. I'm going to bring mine and tie them with a long ribbon to my purse shoulder strap. I suggest you do the same.
Upcoming Swap in the Los Angeles area just in time to create your Halloween costume. Mark your calendar.

Thanks for helping us get the word out on the upcoming Halloween Swap!
Good thinking to tell everyone to bring their own scissors! Brilliant idea to tie them to your purse too.
I'll be silkscreening again so please say stop by to say Hi. :-)
