I really used to love the beading swaps we used to do in this group? Any one interested? Since I dont have a Gallery any more and my work is at home and when I want to do it i would not mind being the Hostess of a Beaded item swap or 2! Springs getting over with what about a beaded anklet or bracelet Summer swap? I would need help with rules of the swap cause i dont remember how they went any one want to ? Your friend Victoria

I used to enjoy them too. I did two bracelet swaps and the wand swap. A lot of the people who joined in with them are no longer around. I wonder what happened to Candace, Arondelle, Margie and VJ. Shirley
Its midnight here, so no lengthy post from me just yet, but I promise I'll write a *book* of updates asap! Just wanted to let you know that I am still here, and have read every message that came thru for as long as I've been *gone.*
Muuwwhhhaaa!

It would be no good relying on me because my memory is like a sieve. At
71 I am too old to be wearing an anklet. I would get some strange looks over here. You know the mutton dressed up as lamb syndrome. LOLI think what happened is that you got a list of people and paired them up, informed them who their partner was and let them contact each other. I believe you had to ask if anyone minded posting abroad because of the added cost in postage. I think the co-ordinator kept check and found a way of posting the pictures of the articles made.

Great to see you again. I did try to contact you on Skype but it said you would not share your details with me. How's that dear child of yours. Certainly would not fit in that outfit I crocheted. BG Hugs Shirley

I would also be interested in a swap. I have never done one before, but it sounds fun!

A lot of folks left the group a couple of years ago when there was a big blowup between a few people and lots of feelings were hurt.
