~*THINK PINK!*~

Ladies
Monica has informed me that she has a tremendous amount of lovely goodies to give away in the raffle.
SO- I think that we could be more of a help if we just add our submissions directly to Ebay.

Because this is such short notice, I would like to do this auction in November so that we can drum up some interest and get more people involved with the bidding.
~*100%*~ of the auctions for the THINK PINK charms will be sent to the Susan G Komen foundation.

Please let me know if you can help spread the news and I will post the links when they are up for bidding.

~*Thank you!*~

I will be going to the PO before the end of the week so some of you may have them by Monday!
Thank you for joining!

~*(((:::The last set to arrive is ADORABLE!:::)))*~
So worth the wait!

Think Pink charm swappers, I believe that I should be getting the missing parcel that I have been waiting for either today or tomorrow.

It's been a lovely swap to host and I am looking forward to creating a final piece for the Susan G Komen fundraiser via Monica Magness.

Here is what the extra 2 charms will be used for!

Advertise!
The drawing is in Oct!

~*EXTENDED DEADLINE!*~ September 4th!

Thank you!!!
PREVIOUS POST, placed here for your convenience!

~*AFTER READING THE REQUIREMENTS then decide if you can join in or not*~

Please leave a comment if you would like to join an upscale creative art charm swap/exchange- *requiring* quality and neat Pink charms. Each must be no larger than 1 1/4 inches*.
Please note that the work you send must be well designed and finished safely and neatly. No messy work allowed.
You will be asked to send an extra 2 charms in to be used for fundraising.
The swap will be open to no more than 30 people and each person will be sending in 12 pieces and getting 10 back in return.
Shipping costs will vary based on continent and country, however, it is asked that you send in either US dollars in cash or pay through Paypal.
*Absolutely NO checks or money orders.* Due date is July 23rd.
Again, please only sign up if you are able to dedicate yourself to creating quality and well made work.
Each charm should be sturdy enough to wear, not have any pet/human hair, messy glue, paint or food crumbs sent in with them. Anything added to the charms should not be falling off, or tangled up.
Also- strong smells such as E6000, cigarettes, nail polish and spray paint are not welcome.
If I get a parcel that contains charms that are sharp/dangerous, poorly made, really sloppy or that smell really foul it will be returned to the sender with no explanation on the senders dime.
These rules are fair and considerate of those who will put their heart and energy into this project in hopes of getting something in return to enjoy and possibly give away as gifts of encouragement.
Since this is also a fundraiser, those who will be buying/bidding on the charms will pay more for beautiful and well designed work.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

~*I claim April 28th as "International Charm Day"*~

Wouldn't it be fun to have a special day for wearing and gifting special charms?
It sounds like fun to me, so I am going to make it happen!

What will this day be about?
Maybe giving some of your own handmade charms or ones you've gotten from a swap, to good friends, family and anyone who makes your day to day lives brighter, better or just more fun!
(Examples- postal workers, nurses, teachers, sales girls, waitresses (when leaving a tip), secretaries, children etc.)

Each charm could have a special meaning or feeling behind it.
Or, you could just make a general set and hand them out randomly!

You could add on a tag that mentions they are being gifted a charm on International Charm Day and add in your name or contact info if you feel comfortable enough to do that (for the ones you give to those who are not so familiar.)

It's not just a gift of art but also one of cheer and also inspiration!
Imagine if each person who gets one feels like making more of them to give others?


If you would like to celebrate this day with me and if you blog about your charms I will be posting a little banner tag for everyone to add to their blogs soon.


I claim April 28th as "International Charm Day"

More of the charms I sewed up in the past two months

I will be posting some to Ebay to raise more money.

~*More on Ebay!*~

I just got 3 more pieces up on Ebay!

I hope to see some bids go on.

~*CLICK HERE*~

Thank you for hanging in there with me.

I can no longer list each detail by each artist.

It's just too much for me to handle and that has been the big reason for my listing delays!

SO- to get through this faster, I did not name names or detail each charm.

I am hoping that the work will speak for itself!
