Anyone Up For A Charm Swap?

I'd like to host a charm swap. I was in a charm swap several months ago, and I enjoyed it so much, I just wanna keep going with them.

I am on a group that swaps out charms, however they are coming up with so many rules and regulations as to what you can make and what you can use on your charm, that it has made me come to the conclusion that I need to get away from that group. They are going as far as holding "Ugly Charm Swaps", to show what not to make. I just don't want to be part of that kind of negativity.

SO *big sigh of relief*, with that being said, Who Wants to Make some charms?? I promise to have very few rules, and I would love for you to make what you want. Ok, rules...*gulping*

1. Charms should be no larger then 1" wide x 1-1/4" long.


2. If there are out of country swappers, no feathers, plant materials and such are allowed to be sent out of country.


3. I want you to make what you want to make, it can be fibers, glass, old metals, game pieces, whatever you feel like making.


4. You will make as many charms as there are members joining the swap, (that would include one for yourself), it's just so much easier to swap out that way. Example: 25 members = making 25 charms, and so on.


5. I will keep the sign ups open until May 1, 2007 and with people starting vacation plans and children being out of school, how about having them back to me by June 15, 2007.


6. Include in the package as much as it cost you to mail it to me. I will work out the uneven numbers.

You don't just have to make a bracelet with your charms, you can add them to a chain and drape them over a lamp shade, planter, fireplace mantel, or even make them into brooches. Whatever makes you happiest with them, is what you should do.
So....any takers?? I'm in!!

Here are a few sites with some great charm idea's.
