I just love getting things in the mail, don’t you?! I mean real, fun things {not bills}. Letters, postcards, and best of all…presents! Which is why I jumped at the chance to be a part of a friendship bracelet swap organized by Tia over at Sew Cal Mama.
I was matched up with a gal named Shannon, who told me that her favorite colors are fall colors and pink, and that she prefers chunky style jewelry.
So, I took Little Crafter to Michaels with me and we chose a strand of really fun pink beads that varied in shape, size, and shade. All I did was string them on a piece of elastic and tie it off {tightly!}. That’s the entire tutorial…really. It was super duper easy to make; no tools or jewelry-making skills required. Anyone can do it! I absolutely looooove it…so, Shannon, if it’s not your thing, feel free to mail it back!
Otherwise, we’re off to Michaels to buy another strand of beads…Mama needs herself a pink bracelet too!
Meanwhile, it got me to thinking, would any of you all be interested in some kind of a swap organized here at One Artsy Mama? Maybe holiday ornaments? Or we could do bracelets too? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
Happy Crafting!

Ornament swaps are fun. A bracelet swap would be fun, too. I’d be game for either one or something entirely different, too.

I think either of those would be fun….love ornaments, love bracelets…..a fun gift swap I did at a job once was a sock swap—of course that’s not something I could make, but it sure was fun to get a pair of goofy socks and a pair of regular ole socks. 🙂 This is coming from a sock-a-holic though.

I love that idea! Especially an ornament swap!
Frances says
I suggest a bracelet swap first to see how it goes. Then, if it works for you, you could do an ornament swap in November for example. Sounds like a lot of fun. I would participate.
Jenny says
Totally fun
