Birth Bead Swap « Back to Group Discussions

[purposefuldoula]

Does anyone want to do one with me?

You could all mail beads to me, then I could separate them into groups for everyone, then mail them back. Then you could make a necklace or bracelet or what have you for a birthy/nursing necklace. At a friends mama blessing labor, we all brought beads and I ended up making her a really neat necklace out of them that she wore in labor. 

What do you think?

i think it is a great idea! I would probably be up for it!

That sounds lovely, count me in.

[segolilymama]

Me too. SOunds wonderful :)

[kaliki_kila]

I've always wanted to do something like this!  Count me in, too!

[Mamabeakley]

Sure - how many beads per person?

[purposefuldoula]

Let's give it a few more days to see if any other mamas want to join in. I was thinking maybe two to four for each? How does that sound?

[Jackies]

Sounds fun. Do you mean 2 to 4 to send or 2 to 4 per other person?

[purposefuldoula]

Oh, I was thinking maybe 2-4 for each mama, or how ever many you wanted to give to each mama. This little group looks like it will be pretty small, so I was thinking 2-4 for each mama, (from each mama,) will be just enough to make a necklace for each of us.  Am I getting really confusing, yet? :)  I'm thinking on Monday I can pm you all my address, then have you mail the beads out as soon as you can.  I'll get them back in the mail as soon as everyone's comes in! 

[purposefuldoula]

I'm going to message everyone with my address today so we can get these moving! weeee!!!!

[themothership]

i know you are baby mooning, but was wondering what the status was on the bead swap?

[purposefuldoula]

Kiley, I actually just got them in the mail yesterday! They should be there soon

Apologies for not getting my beads in the mix!  Our baby came a week early and interrupted my "to do" list!  I hope they turned out beautifully.
