I just had this really fun idea while daydreaming here at work!! Would anyone be interested in doing a mass secret earring swap??!! I know it doesn't have anything to do with knitting, but who doesn't love earrings and receiving stuff in the mail? And they don't weigh very much, so the postage (even international) will be cheap.
So, I would compile a list of everyone who wants to participate, and then assign everyone with a person to send earrings to. What do you think? I am tempted to limit the colour of the earrings to pink, but that might be a little tough.
The rules would go something like this:
* The earrings should be new (pinku likes hygiene)
* The earrings should be super cute (and preferable pink!!)
* You should spend no more than $5 (or the equivalent in foreign currency) on the earrings
* You must wrap the earrings in cute paper and send them with love to your earring swap partner
End of rules. Who wants to play??? Email me at [email protected] or leave a comment to show your interest.
Even if you have no interest in this swap, check out this super cute 3-year old North Korean girl - communism has made her smart!!! (found via Amy via someone else)

I'm in! :D I'm assuming all of us have pierced ears? It wouldn't be fun for someone to received earrings they couldn't wear. :(
