Bead Table Wednesday - The Charming Exchange

She started it!

Who?

 Heather Powers, of course!

What?

Bead Table Wednesday, of course!

So, since you are reading this tomorrow,

and

I am writing this yesterday,

I'll show you what my bead table looked like yesterday.

 

I have to give you a little history about The Charming Exchange.

In January, Deb Batten and I decided to co-host a charm exchange on Lampworketc..

It didn't take long for packages full of charms to start arriving.

A few people dropped out along the way, but most of the participants have sent their boxes to me.

Enough of the history.

A friend, whom I shall call, Paula the Enforcer, is coming over tomorrow to help me sort out the charms.

However, before she and I can do the final sorting,

I am doing a presorting.

By that I mean, I am recounting the charms to make sure my initial count was correct and I am checking to see if postage for the return of charms was enclosed or not.

In order to do that, I had to move the charms from the "Charming Table" to 3 two x four foot tables.

You'd think that would be enough room, right?

Well, it's going to be close and the "Charming Table" might still be used.

Take a look.

This is what the tables looked like after about an hour of sorting.

I decided to take a break and come back to finish later.

These were left after the first round of sorting

Plus mine!

I have to add some some business cards.

This is what the tables looked like after the second sorting.

Now, I've only got a few left, and I can finish those tomorrow.

They won't take long.

Don't you wish you were here to touch and drool over the charms?

Te-he!  I'm lucky!

Soon, the bead tables will be empty, 

and 

I am truly hoping everyone will be happy with their return charms.

I wish I could show them all to you,

but that would be another VERY LONG BLOG.

The good news is that I will show you my charms after the exchange is finished.

See you next Wednesday with the results, I hope!
