Are any of you interested in a yo yo swap?
The handmade fabric kind, not he ones with string.
I have never done this before but it could work. If ten of us agree to do the swap; Each of us would send 5 yo yo s to the other 9. Might be fun to see what we end up with

Michele - that sounds fun - it would depend on the timing for me though, getting ready to go on a trip on March 2 so I wouldn't be able to send anything till late March - if you were thinking of April 1st for a deadline say (subtle hint) sign me up!! If you wanted to do it sooner no problem, I will hit the next one.

Hi again Michele,
I remembered I have yoyos cut out and waiting.
What we are used to is making CD size circles into yoyos.
Have you decided what date they will be due?
It sounds like a great idea!

Okay gals.
We have several people interested in the yoyo swap.
I think the plan is to give everyone a month or two to make the yoyos and then send 5 to each person on the list.
If that sounds reasonable to you contact me by email with all your info. Name, addy email, etc
If you al have any other suggestions or ideas let me know that also.

Everyone seems to agree that the yo yos made by using a cd as a template is a good size , so let's go with that.
we will probably have to make about 40 by sendinf 5 to each gal on the list.
Will send out lists later this week so if you haven't emailed me at : mikirk@sbcglobal.net please do so soon
How does mid April sound for a deadline?

| Are the yo yo's all to be made from the same fabric print or mix and match? Wasn't sure about that. |
