I love her style of doing them as well. Maybe she'll come on here and tell us how she does them.

ok I am hoping this link to a youtube video works. This is the basic way I attach my charms and chains together. This is process used in jewelry making. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hF7eZhOiUwEdited by user Monday, December 03, 2012 8:23:54 PM(UTC)

Oh good grief they are just sitting there too! Oi! Maybe it is the time of the year. I'm glad I'm not the only one late. I certainly tried! So much for paying more and getting there quicker! I don't think I will count on the return trip ones getting here before Christmas. It doesn't matter because it always feels like Christmas whenever they arrive! My sister tried to snitch one of the charms. She really is liking them. I made her a charm awhile ago "just because". She's eager for more!

Here are the pictures of my beautiful charm, made by Emerald for the Partner Swap! NO DIBBS!!! I love the charm. The bag and the hand towel are absolutely beautiful. Thanks again, Emerald, I love it all! I love the tag, as well. I know it will get lots of attention on the mantle with the stockings. Thanks again, ~Rebecca trvkladd attached the following image(s):

Rhonda, Denise, Gypsy~ Love the charms! I can't wait to get these back. I'm attaching them to the kids stockings. I still have to make a few more so that I have enough!!
Have a great night, ladies

~Rebecca Wow, nice charm you received Rebecca, and Emerald it's beautiful. Love the colors in that towel as well. Nice to see non-traditional Christmas colors used every now and then.

Ok ladies, I'm hoping the remaining charms arrive by Saturday. I'm terribly sorry this swap has taken so long this round.
As for the next round, I'm not sure what I'm doing, but may be switching it up a little. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open for suggestions.

Robin we all understand that if packages take longer to get to you that it's out of your control. I know the Post Office and I have had words the last few shipments. We all appreciate that you host this swap and we all have a good time atleast I know I do. It's close to Christmas and things happen. Thank you for hosting the swap and I'll have my thinking cap on for new ideas for the next CC swap. Debbie

No packages yet, but I've heard from Rosecoloredglasses and she is in the hospital, possibly with pneumonia. So please keep her in your prayers as she's been going through several health issues of late.
GypsyD's package is being held hostage in California, so no telling when I'll get that one as well.

Will be keeping Tammy in my prayers. Robin~ I mailed 3 boxes to CA on Wed. 2 of them made it today and the other is still here in AL as far as I can tell.  I mailed them priority. Go figure! You can only do what you can do and from what the PO website says there are more delays to come. Looking forward to future swaps! Can't wait to see what you come up with ...I'll be looking around for some ideas and will let you know how that goes. Have a great weekend, ladies ~Rebecca

Since Tammy (rosecoloredglasses) has not been feeling well Robin asked if I would post a picture of the Chunky Charm my partner received from me on November 30, 2012. I hope Tammy feels better soon. Debbie Edited by user Sunday, December 09, 2012 10:10:56 AM(UTC)

Thanks for being patient through all this.

Ladies, I'm going to officially call this swap OVER!
Not sure what happened with rosecoloredglasses' charms for my swap and the partner swap, but I know with her health issues they just got put aside.
Beanie's Mom, I promise to make it up to you in some way and I'm sorry you haven't received your charm yet.
Thank you all for joining my swap. I truly enjoy swapping with you ladies. I'll let y'all know when (or if) I open another charm swap, but it will be after the new year.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

You're welcome. New home is pretty much finally complete. Loving the new floors. DD came in town last night (with her cat) and it's so funny to see my two dogs and that cat chase each other on laminate floor...fur flying everywhere! Thank God they get along with each other, but that cat is majorly high strung (DD says she's "tweaking")!  She eventually calms down. Here's Bebe (my Silky Terrier) and Angel (the tailless cat) chillin' (oh and my new floor). RockinRobin1 attached the following image(s):

Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year Same to you Denise. Link to photos and who is receiving who's charms is posted in the OP. Everyone did such a wonderful job on their charms. You ladies really love Christmas. It actually worked out that each should be received two winter style and two Christmas style charms.
