Running with the idea of, if you are a jewelry artist and you need note cards, you trade your jewelry for the note cards. It never got off the ground, and I was a bit disappointed. Maybe it is time to try it again this year!

Keep an eye out for upcoming posts where I will have a picture of items I am willing to trade. Would love to see what you have!!!
