                      | The idea is to make something wonderful out of yo-yos for your partner.  Here are some examples of brooches, necklaces, etc. The only rule is there has to be a yo-yo in it.  Oh, and no yo-yo clowns!  Take that to mean whatever you will.
 
 
 Sign ups until 12/31, then I'll draw for partners, and you will swap addresses.  Have your creations to your partner before February 1st.

                      | Very Cute...Love the Pictures! If I wasn't doing the Hearts at the same time...I would jump in and join. Maybe If you do another round...later. Love your ideas Trish and good for you for Hostessing.
 
 Can't wait to see pictures of what people make.
 
 Joy and blessings,
 Peggy

                      | O I think I am in on this swap. I am doing the heart yo-yo swap. It was fun last time so I thought I would do it again. Let me see if i have this right. We do one round yo-yo project and it is swaped with a partner, or are we doing a project for each person involved? Just need to know what I am getting myself into here.

                      | I wanted to share some yo-yo projects I have been working on the last few mornings.  The Dotee's bun is two yo-yos. Lesson learned on brooch, have the backside be a yo-yo, not lace, or you will have to reinforce it with another yo-yo or felt.

                      | Count me in. I love making yo-yos although I do it the old fashion way without the helpful form. Years ago I made a doll bed yo-yo quilt and used a nickel as the pattern for the circle. It was beautiful when done but I don't think my eyes could do that small anymore.  I'd like 1 partner please.
