Yoyo flowers made for swaps @ Your Paper Pantry and The Scrap Beach.

The goodies I received from wonderful ladies that were in the swap. Thank you so much...I really appreciate your kindness. Thanks to all :)

Pins received from Stick pin Swap for month of August.

Charm swap @ Cindyscroppingcorner.blogspot.com for Sept. I made these charms and pins for National Breast Cancer Awareness. I used pink beads from Michaels and Hope ribbon charm from AC Moore and attached together using jewerly tools. I also made a pink stick pink with the same beads. I used the large flower from Tim Holtz's Tattered Floral and painted with white, inked with worn lipstick. I also made the center with a dew drop stone and used Glossy Accents.

Stick pin swap @ ScrapBeach for Sept. I used Tim Holtz's Tattered Flower and used the large pedal and painted it with golden yellow,inked with Walnut Stain and added colored diamond dust to the center with Glossy Accents.

Stick pins for swap @ Your Paper Pantry. Used Halloween fabric from Hobby Lobby, made a yoyo flower out of it then when sewing the inside, I added stuffing before closing.

I had 30 people to sign up, so there will be 30 swappers. If you signed up on my blog and/or email/YouTube...you are included in the swap. I will try to email you within the next few days and make sure you have the swap info.

Due to the amount of swappers signed up….there will be 6 groups…..5 in each group.
You will need to make 3 pins, which is a set, for each swapper in your group.
There are 5 swappers in each group including you. You will need to make and mail 4 sets of pins to me for swapping.

Example – 3 pins for each swapper – 4 in your group – you would make 12 pins for swapping.
Place 3 pins on the same card, tag, etc for each swapper.
There is no theme to the pins. You can use any color beads, etc for your pins. Please use glass beads and include at least 3 beads per pin. You can make all the same pins for each member or you can mix and match the pins….just be sure to have 3 pins on each card for each swapper.


**********PLEASE SEE THE GROUPS AT THE END OF THIS POST**********


1) Please be sure to have your packages POSTMARKED by OCTOBER 08, 2010. This way I can turn it around very fast and you will have your beautiful pins. If anything comes up, please let me know and we can work out something. Any delays in receiving the pins will delay the swap for everyone. Please be considerate of the Postmark date.

2) Please attach pins to some type of card, tag, etc.

3) Please use a padded envelope or bubble wrap, etc to ensure the pins will not poke through the envelope and for the safety of the postal workers.

4) Please use at least a 6x9 envelope for the return package. It is best to send a return envelope the same size that you mail to me in. Since the pins will be on some type of card it will make the envelope a little larger and the small envelopes will not be large enough.

5) Please send the return envelope with your address on the front. Please be sure to add as much postage to the return envelope as it took to mail to me. Please add 1 extra stamp in the envelope, just in case. If I do not need to use it, I will return to you.

6) Please add your name, YouTube name or blog on the card or tag that you attach the pins to. This way we can tell who made the pin.

If you have any questions or need more info, please email me and I will get back with you ASAP. I check my emails many, many times a day for work purposes and my personal email is linked to my business, so I will get it fast....unless I am crafting...LOL :)

You can email me at allypearson@charter.net if you have any questions.

***PLEASE **** If anything comes up and you need to leave the swap, let me know. This way I can get a replacement and everyone can receive the same amount of pins that they sent in for swapping back.

Thanks to all that signed up.....it will be a great swap and can't wait to see all the pins. I will do a video on them when I receive all of them.

I will try and email each swapper with the info, just in case you do not make it to the blog. Please reply back to me and let me know that you have received and you know what the Postmark date is.

***Stick pin swap closed***
****Details to follow****

********CLOSED**********

***STICK PIN SWAP OPEN FOR SEPTEMBER***
Please leave a comment on this blog to be signed up for the swap.
Please do not leave a comment on YouTube video....it is very hard to determine who is signed up because there are so many different names with email and YouTube names.

Please leave me your name and email and YouTube name. I will leave the sign ups open until Tuesday.

Please check back on Tuesday to get all the updated info. If I have enough to sign up, I may divide into groups and make several pins for each swapper....Example -- 5 in a group...you would make a total of 10 pins...2 pins for each person in your group....just a thought....I will have to wait and see after sign ups are closed.

I will contact each person after sign ups are closed with the info for the swap.

Happy pinning :)
