I was thinking about starting a swap really similar to this one!! ROCK!

user2068 03/22/2007 #

glad you like it and looking forward to swapping charms!!

Do the charms have to be handmade?

vintageprincess 03/30/2007 #

I hope the charms are handmade...from the description it would seem that they would have to be...I'm looking forward to making mine, but maybe gonna wait until partners are assigned so that I can maybe make something esp. for them...? %~' I have a couple of other swaps I'm in so I may go ahead and get started making 'em ---decisions :-}

user2068 04/ 3/2007 #

HI Danielle, yes the charms should be handmade...check out the blog www.justsocharming.blogspot.com for ideas.

Coffeelatte 04/ 6/2007 #

Great swap idea, but too fast a turn around for me. I've got other swaps, and don't feel like I can do a good job on this right now...but I hope you do it again sometime!

lilmissthrifty 04/ 9/2007 #

Hey ArtsyDoll thanks! I tried the link it didn't work... could you try again? or does anyone else have any links for ideas? I just want to make sure I;m on the right track.

user7007 04/15/2007 #

I am with Coffeelatte, I hope to see this swap again, with a little more time for creating. I will definitely sign up for that! Thanks!

Thank you for letting me know Marlene. I am looking forward to getting some more charms.

I have sent to Ellen, tsampa , nazca, JanW & bunnycutie. I have never swapped with someone in France or Israel before so that was a first.

Ellen - I received your charms yesterday and they're absolutely wonderful. You did a great job. And I love the "art matters" button. Thank you so much.

vintageprincess 05/ 5/2007 #

Received charms from Sharon F. and Princesshammerhead today...they were great! That makes four partners that I have received from and one more to go! Princesshammerhead, the little felt bag with matching coin purse with handmade cards and the bag of bottle caps, buttons and doo dads was wonderful and certainly a terrific bonus.....thank you so much.
