I'm a total beginner, only done 4 braids so far, but I'm hooked. I'd love to be in a swap. Audrey [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I'd like to take part in a swap as well. "Expanding the basics" sounds good for all sorts of braiders, but whatever you pick will be fine with me. Kathy Warner...
I, also being a new braider, would love to be involved. It seems that there are a bunch of us "newbies" and some may feel intimidated by swaping with more...

I'd possibly be interested. I'm not sure why the CD $150 expense would be involved? Are you saying someone makes copies and prepares a notebook of the swap...
Carol Thanks for passing that tip onwards. Now I can take my Marudai to events or back from events without stressing of moving something in progress. Zada ...
