I am just checking in. I received my charms now I have to decide on the exact colors. Does anyone know how to make the metal charms look enameled? I think I might be able to use embossing power but am not sure.
BuginWi.....If they are flat....maybe put Glossy Accent over the top of it and let it dry...???? HUGs rhonda

I think you can use embossing powders. Do a search on YouTube if necessary.

I am so excited.  I received my charms yesterday and now I can really get rolling on this swap. I can't wait to see if my vision turns out the way I think it will.

I have started on all my swaps and will need to keep busy after I return from Texas so intend to complete them all. Oh, my heart goes out to you..

I have used the Vintaj Ranger Metal paints.. and I used them on the last charm swap..I colored my silver fall charms w/the Rusty paints..I liked how they turned out..

Just got power, Tv, phone & internet back about an hour ago.
Can finally see the results of the storm!!!!
We made out fine as far as the storm and trees. None down in the yard but 20 or so in our woods. Firewood for next year!!!!
We were very lucky. Beach areas are a mess. Buildings gone, some full of sand and some floating in the pond!!!!
Sheila and her family got stuck Monday in NC and then their new flight Tuesday was cancelled. They ended up renting a car and drove home yesterday.
I don't think she has power yet though.
The service for my nephew is tomorrow.
Give her a few more days and I am sure she will be checking in.

Hi everyone! JCI. GrammaP, I am so, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We were right in the path of Sandy. Cancellations for days, Jon is firefighter/paramedic- so the whole platoon was mandated. Thank God we did not sustain any damage. Everything is back to normal today. Yeah!!!  My charms came in. Love them!!   Going to start on them tonight. Take care everybody. I hope that everyone is safe and uneffected by the storm. Hugs, Tammy

Hi to all~
Just checking in!
Sheila~ My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
Tammy~ Happy to hear that you did ok with the storm. I was beginning to worry about you! Hadn't seen you on in a while! Glad you're back!
Since I've made excellent progress on some of the other swaps I will be getting to these sometime next week. I can't wait!
Hope everyone had a good week. Have a great weekend

A wee bit of nasty weather today with rain turning to snow. No accumulation, thankfully. Just cold and damp now. :-( Waiting on Scrapypiggy's address then I will mail all these out.
