Swapping...looking for others...

I have been reading Down to Earth for a few weeks now and LOVE the blog, but I often find myself wondering if I can really handle doing more at home or making more. There are some things I would really like to try, some I would be ok with trying or doing and others there are no way I could do them. This is either because I can stand to even think of myself doing it or some other good reason.

One of the things I would like to try but CAN NOT is making soap. The whole idea of me with Lye is a VERY scary thought. For those of you out there that know me personally totally understand what I'm say but for those that don't here is the deal. I spill everything...I walk into things and I almost always have a 3yr old or 7 yr old hanging around wanting to "help". The thought of Lye in my house is laughable. Everyone and everything would be burned.

Then I started thinking how did they use to deal with this? Then I realized they traded! So, I would like to find others out there that would be willing to trade things we do. Are there others out there would be willing to trade things?

If so please post a comment with how I can get in touch with you. I think it would be nice to have a group of people sharing the things they make. I would even be happy to invite those people to be authors here so they can share the things they do with us all.
