Ides of March Good Luck Charm swap

This swap is INTERNATIONAL, NEWBIE-FRIENDLY, and for participants with a 4.5 RATING OR HIGHER AND NO NO-SENDS. I CANNOT ANGEL THIS SWAP, SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CANNOT OR HAVE NOT INTENTIONS TO SEND. thank you.

The Ides of March (March 15th) has often been the day of dread throughout history. It was, after all, the downfall of Julius Ceasar, who was warned to beware the day.

I thought it would be neat to exchange some good luck on the day that is supposed to bring dread and darkness!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,

Everyone will have 3 partners. You will send each partner one good luck charm from your country, state or family--for instance, my family considers pennies that are found face up to be lucky! When we find one, we pick it up and say this poem: "Find a penny, pick it up all day long, you'll have good luck! Put the penny in your shoe, and good luck will come to you!" Then we put the penny in our shoe.

When you send your partners their good luck charm, be sure to write up a little note explaining the significance of the charm.

ONE VERY IMPORTANT REQUEST: DO NOT SEND ANIMAL PARTS--LIKE, RABBITS FEET. I KNOW THAT SOME CONSIDER THEM LUCKILY, BUT I HAVE PERSONAL ISSUES WITH THEM. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

Some examples of lucky charms that I know people use: Buckeyes (type of nut) Horseshoes 4 leaf clovers Fortune cookie fortunes Quartz crystals Fools gold nuggets (aka pyrite)

I set the mail by date for March 5th so that hopefully we can all enjoy our lucky charms by the Ides of March (March 15th)!

feel free to email me directly with any questions. :)
