My first swap was like this so I'm gonna give it a go.

This is an International Swap

You are to make 3 pairs of earrings for 3 partners, so each partner will get 1 pair of earrings.

No CLIP-ONS any other back goes.

If you want to earn a heart icon and include extras it's your choice. Remember that it's international and keep in mind the postage costs.

Newbies are welcome to join only with a completed profile, 2 or more no sends are banned.

I will look closely at profiles.

I will do everything in my power to ban the flakes I have a current list.

I had fun then and let's have fun now, I love making earrings.

I saw you started a swap so I decided to join. You sent some beautiful earrings to me in the valentine sock swap. I saw you have also had problems with no sends. We have to stop them. I have never made earrings before but my daughter has so I will enlist her help! Happy swapping. PS. My husband is a firefighter also, sorry you had to give it up.

Erna 02/ 9/2007 #

I'm glad you've given us a month to make the earrings! My husband says I am addicted to taking on new projects... probably because he sees me "playing" when I have more important things to do, like ironing. I do not sign up for new swaps unless I've completed a current one, but I cannot resist this one. Please could we specify: NO CLIP-ONS! I cannot wear them at all, as the pinching of my earlobes makes me miserable.

user4869 02/12/2007 #

Wow, It's kinda scary not to have very many comments. I deleted mine and a couple that I felt served their purpose.

Please if you have any question post them or contact me. I check my swap several times a day or more.

Gary

jakfrostwife 02/14/2007 #

OK so you want comments.....LOL .....any medium works right? I'm new to making them in clay but I did make myself some funky one's last month so I'm thinking that would work? What another excuse to play in clay?...woohoo!

Also no clip-on for me either...the pinching is cause by fat earlobes......LOL

user4869 02/15/2007 #

Yes, any medium works as long as it doesn't hurt the wearer. Clay would be real nice. I was real deep in to the sculpey until I decided to clean my pasta maker and then couldn't put it back together. That was a mistake and I can't find it much anymore around town.

Hello fellow swapers,

I will assign partners by 8:00am Nevada, USA time which is Pacific Standard Time. Please note this when you are checking in to see your partners and you're thinking I forgot to assign you partners. Please don't wait until the last minute to make and send your earrings and then having to give excuses of why you were late.

Gary

user4869 02/17/2007 #

I have a completed list of addresses and phone numbers. The phone numbers I got from the net by plugging in addresses. So FLAKERS beware I will hound you for stealing. I want everyone to get their earrings.

Now, lets swap our earrings.

Gary

harleychick27 02/17/2007 #

I finished my earrings today and will send them on their way on Tuesday to dragonfly, pumpkinvine and Sara. Hope you like them!!

Neenbug 02/18/2007 #

I will have mine packaged and shipped in about a week. Have to finish up another swap first. I will let my partners know when they ship. Happing earring making everyone!

niecedenise 02/18/2007 #

I made mine as soon as I signed up so I hope they will suit the wearer. If not I can always use that as a excuse to play some more.

user4869 02/19/2007 #

Thanks for the information Kiki, mustanggirl, and NieceDenise. It\'s always good to read on how people are doing.

I also have finished my and are on their way to: Strawberrybear, drewzel, and Rosie2006.

Melful, I received your earrings yesterday. They are really pretty. Thankyou.

user2794 03/ 2/2007 #

Mine went out to ravenov, prpldy and Serienova. I usually go into town to get the mail on Fridays, but we knew this storm was coming today, so I made sure I got them out yesterday. Give them some time to arrive, as they're on the way from snowy northern Ontario!

jakfrostwife 03/ 2/2007 #

OH MY GOSH! I got the most beautiful “GREEN earrings" all the way from Australia & Strawberrybear! I showed them to my friend that is also in this swap and lets just say she's very jealous!
