                      | Here's the deal:  make one standard size clothespin for each participant, send them to me with postage, I will find out how much the next time I go to the post office.  I will mail 10 different clothespins back to you. 
 No more than 10 participants.  If you live out of the US, you must figure your postage before you send.  Sign ups will end when we have 10 people that want to play.  Get them in the mail no later than January 8th.  I know it's a ling way out, but I don't want many December deadlines.
 
 $1.88 for postage. I will be taking them into the post office, so a buck and change works just as well as a stamp, if you're a mail from home type, and don't have stamps.
 
 I have received from:

                      | Would it make sense to make these magnetic on one side, or should I decorate both sides?

                      | I know Trish...I just snuck in under the wire didn't I?  I've been so busy at work this week and had some evening meetings and events so I haven't been online much at all.  Almost missed this swap completely!

                      | Darlene has dropped out, so there is one more spot open. 
 PS, my swap clothespins won't be this elaborate.
