I am planning to make a birth necklace and thought that I would see if there are any other September mamas interested in a bead exchange? If there is interest, I can set up the details and guidelines.
I am have sent PM to the last 3 mamas on the list that I have not received confirmation from. I don't want to be pushy, but I also do not want people to send beads unnecessarily. I am still planning on 17 mamas participating. Should we stick to that # and then I will mail back any extra beads? What do you think?
You can keep any extra beads of mine as a gift for being the coordinator.

I was planning on sending 20 beads anyway as a "just in case" (just in case one rolled under the rug, just in case someone new joined at the last minute, etc). With the expectation that you'd keep any left over beads as a thank you.
Is there anyway to still join in on this? I somehow missed this thread completely I have my necklaces from MDC bead swaps for both of my boys and I would hate not to get in on this one for this babe. I can definitely get them out in time!
I just now joined the site today. I have 2 daughters and a boy due on Sept 7. Is it too late to still be a part of this?? It sounds like such a wonderful idea. I would love to get in on it.
I am sorry that this thread was a little neglected...Just back from my last out of state camping trip of the summer. We have done 3 in 4 weeks, just trying to cram in a whole season of camping in before the baby comes!
Um...I don't really know what to say to those that want to join late. I want to be all inclusive and I want everyone to get beads. I know that some have already mailed their packages out to me. I got
nicolecatalan's when I got home this evening!
What do you think? As long as I get the beads by 7/16, should we add more mamas (She2dancer, babyno3, and dfunk98)? What is the best thing to do?
I will have extras, too, and will be happy to send them along. I haven't got my beads yet, though! I hope they get here before the 16th... they were shipping from out of the country
I sent mine express post today, but you might not get them until monday. Canada Post is still backlogged from the strike so they couldn't guarantee that it would get to you on time. The latest it should get to you would be Tuesday.
Mine go out tomorrow (sorry for the delay)... they've been wrapped and ready for a few days now but DH hadn't been able to get to the post office during the week. Where's the blusihng smilie when you need it?

I am so glad that they got to you! I sent the stones from stone studios. You should have my self addressed envelope soon! It was easier (and quicker) to ship the beads straight to you.
