This is a visual toast to the Blog without which I would not be obsessively creating these FP impressions

Thanks to all the lovely people who share there work and passion here!

Today's post is courtesy of google alerts that made me stumble upon CHICKEN LICKEN's CREATIONS.
I know you'll really enjoy her website which is chocked full of fun challenges and swaps!.

Friendly Plastic creates the focal hearts used in these charms...aren't these lovely?!?!?!?!  And what a great idea - a charm swap!  Swaps are a great way to share your creativity and passion for your art.  It's also a great way to get art too!!!  So why start a swap of your own?

If you're interested - I would be happy to post the details of the swap...for example how many participants, the theme, cost involved (postage), deadline and any other details on the blog.  As a swap-meister, you would be responsible for receiving everyone's swap goodies, dividing them out so that everyone gets one of everyone else's....and then mail them back.  Easy as pie!  and NO CALORIES!!!

The delightful Minxy has arranged a charm swap on UKStampers. We all made 14 charms and post them to her and she is going to make them into bracelets for us! How lovely is that? These are REALLY bad photos but I tried each and every different way to no avail; these are the best ones.
The teeny hearts are friendly plastic (love this stuff!) and then I have just added "blue iris" crystal beads and some purple/blue seed beads interspersed with silver spacers. IRL(in real life) they are very twinkly in an understated purpley sort of way! Hope peeps like them!
