(examples from previous excahnges)

You have heard of a grab bag, well this will be a Gourd Bag. A box of surprises that will be sent to you and one that you will send out to aname drawn for you! [of course you have to enter first]

Your "Gourd Bag" MUST contain a Minimum of 3 different items and they Must be Gourd Related Items. Something one might be able to embellish on a gourd or to use in gourding. --- Can be more than 3 items, whatever
your heart desires, but Must have at least 3 items. 

If possible, try to send one item that is "Native to Your state", that can be used as an embellishment or incorporated into gourd art. -- 2nd., 3rd. or More items can also be of the above nature or can be other gourd
related items that your partner Can Use. [no junky items, please] Quantity of each item should be enough to do something with. Example: 1 devils claw would be sufficient, but one or two pine needles would
not.
