Local readers, it's time to make charm bracelets!
We've set the date... so mark your calendar, email Saucy to register, and set about making twelve cute and clever charms with a Halloween theme. We'll do the rest.
Sassy and I will provide the charm bracelets, toggle clasps, filler charms and maybe the most important part: lunch.
You know, there was lots of boo-hooing when we hosted the charm parties for Christmas and Valentine's Day. So many readers were sad they couldn't come all the way to Canada to take part. So, do you live too far away to come and play jewelry-making with us?
Leave a comment if you think a charm swap would be of interest to you. The concept would be similar to Amy's Club Little House but instead of making a twelve dollhouse littles, you would make (or buy) a set of identical charms suitable for a Halloween bracelet. You'd mail them to me and I would assemble twelve kits (including a bracelet, one of each charm, clasp, filler charms and split rings) to mail back to you in time to put it together and dazzle your friends at Halloween. There would be tutorial posts on this blog to help you plan your contribution and assemble your bracelet.
There would be a fee to cover the cost of materials at this end and shipping the finished kit back to you ($20.00 US). Given time constraints, we will have to limit this swap to participants in Canada and the US only. If it works out, we can have an international charm bracelet swap at Christmas. This is sort of a test-run... leave a comment if this sounds like something you'd like to take part in and I will make a game plan if there is enough interest.

IN for SURE
Kindergarten will love this one!
Count me IN!! Trapped in Florida, but would love to participate in the swap!!!!
emailing you as we speak! I've been waiting for you to announce this. Count me in!
Oh! Oh! Oh!! I can do this!!
But I'd hate to be a greedy-Gerty but I know 2 little girls who would also like one so make us 2 or 3 (as I can muster some maturity and give up my bracelet!) if you have room! I'd do extra charms of course for the swap!
MJ,
I think we could work something out. Since I would be sending your bracelet out anyway... you just would have to make three sets of charms, if you think you could muster it!
Absolutootely! My girl wants to be a goth tinkerbell for H!
I'm definitely in!! Can't wait.
I'm in! Sounds like fun!
Ooooh, yes!!! Sign me up! What a great ideer Missy Saucey!

Sounds like a lot of fun. I would love to participate. Now I am off to hunt up what I want to contribute.
Miss Saucy! I would love to come and play...but of course I live to far away :( But please count me in for the swap!! PS....Cindylou is planning her 14th birthday party and she's set on a Juicy party!!! She loved the post on Loopys birthday...and of course making the bracelets with her friends as well!!! As always, thank you for your never ending inspiration.

Your charm bracelets are ab/fab - I would love to join in. What fun - can't wait.
I get so jealous this time of year. First the adorable Halloween bracelets, then Christmas. *sobs* I'd say I'd do a swap but in addition to be logistically challenged from attending your party, I am also lacking in the talent department. I will just drool at your creations from afar!
I would LOVE to participate in the swap! How fun!
Oh Saucy what fun. I would love to join in the swap but it depends on the date to have your charms to you. I am leaving for holidays on Wednesday and won't be back until the 14th of Sept. If the time frame works I would love to join.
But, for sure I would love to be in the Christmas swap.
Hugs Karen
Sounds great to me! Would love to take part.
I'm in!
Sounds like a great idea! I don't do Halloween but I'd love to be included in a Christmas or Valentine swap.
My daughter (Doreen) told me to sign up last night, but I forgot! I'm in Florida too and would love to participate!

You're such a clever crafter, Saucy.
If you still have space I would participate in the long distance swap. If you have too many, I would love to do a Christmas swap.
What a great idea. I would love to participate in the swap if you still have room. Thanks for putting this all together.
I hope this is not a case of if you snooze you lose...how did I miss seeing this yesterday? Thanks for the email. If there is still room in the exchange I would love to participate in the Hallowe'en swap and the Christmas swap.
ok i am just letting you know that i am in the uk and i want in on a christmas swap!! please do an international one.

Great idea! I'm too far away to come to your Canadian parties, so I'm down for mail-swapping!
Friends,
I've set up the mail swap. My new post has all the deets for you.
I put a charm bracelet kit for sale on etsy... now I am off to make cute charms for all of you!
xoxo
Am I too late? What a day to be sick and not check the computer till later. I'd love too if you still have the room.
