I'm glad to see you! I know crafting will help you heal faster, so two spots each should get you back on your feet in no time at all! I'll add your name right now
Why yes, those would be the ones. So that's 1 bazillion - six = ?
Math makes my head hurt....you just have a bunch left. good thing we have another round, huh?
Actually minus more than that for the ones I BROKE trying to get the clip off and then back on. (To say nothing about a couple of fingernails and a pinched thumb.) That was an experience until I learned how to do it. I swore if I ever got those done I would never..........but they turned out so CUTE! I think I will do them differently this time, coloring them without taking the clip off. Lots of ideas floating around in my wee little brain.

I dyed mine with Rit dye. I didn't occur to me to take them apart. That's a lot of work.
Please count me in this goodness! I would LOVE to have a spot in Christmas AND in other. I think I will do Halloween. And I will be making clothes pins.
I am sooo happy you picked up the proverbial ball! This will be a delight my friend!!

Good morning Miss Sunshine! I hope to do half as well as you did with this swap. Thanks so much for letting me host the holiday round. You just relax and have fun this round - you earned it! I'm adding you now
Joyce, you are so sweet. Now stop cuz your gonna make me cry! You are already an amazing hostess, so no worries!!
Thanks for putting me down to play a relaxing round! Hey, I'm kinda like Vanilla Ice - throwing down some rhymes early this morning. You can just call me The Sunshine Rapper! LOL Ok, I'll stop!

I think I saw somewhere that you said you used Rit dye, but it was after I had over thought and overworked and messed up and was ready to scream.
I will probably use Rit dye or something this time without taking them apart.

Joyce a couple of ?'s before I commit to this.
1. Can we make something using a Jumbo Paper Clip?
2. On the binder clips is there any particular size the most people use, I have some very tiny ones and some much bigger ones.
3. How hard is it to find wooden clothes pins, I guess I need to check on that?

Can you tell I'm really considering this.
1. I don't have a problem with the Jumbo Paper Clips.
2. On the Binder Clips, I use the Medium size the most.
3. Walmart has the wooden clips for cheap - easy to find.

Hi chickie
If you look at the first post for the swap below, Peggie had some great examples for us to see. They were a lot of fun and go together quickly. I'm adding you now - have fun. If you have any questions, let me know.

Oops! I missed you! Sometimes you have to wave really big around here, but I see you now. Sorry about that - I'm adding you now. Have fun and let me know about the "other" when you are ready. Welcome aboard
erg I WANT to but I really need to get my other swaps made and shipped first. BUT that being said you did say you could combine shipping and that means I could do the same when shipping to you since I do have my calendars i gotta make and ship to you anyways.... I'm SERIOUSLY considering it.....I'll get back to you.
Okay sign me up Ill take two spots one in Christmas and one in "other". Most likely Halloween as that's what I'll be working on in the next while and LOVE halloween. I'll be doing clothes pins as someone else said I still have a zillion minus 6 from the last clip swap HAHAHA.
