Description:

This idea came from seeing Tibetan Prayer Flags online, and to avoid the religious ties, I'm calling them Wish Flags.

Each player will have 3 partners and shall make 1 flag for each of them. The idea of them is to put images and designs on them that express a Wish you wish for your partner or the world in general--Peace, Joy, Happiness, Love, something from their profile, etc.

The flags are to be made of fabric, and either triangular in shape or rectangular and approximately 8" x 10". The triangular ones should have the long point at the bottom. They are made with ribbons(two ribbons sewn lengthwise along the top with about 3" of the ends free on each side for tying) to tie them on a long string to fly, the wind bringing the wish to the Powers That Be, in hopes of being granted.

Here are some sites that show samples of Tibetan Prayer Flags:

There will be a month between the sign-up deadline and the mailing date, so we should have plenty of time to make three little flags. No reason not to start the minute you sign up and get done ahead of the deadline, too.

Players must have at least 4.9 to join, newbies can contact me to express their wish to join, and give me good reasons to let them--it is of utmost importance to have a commitment to complete the swaps--no one likes to work so hard on something so nice and get burned! Communication is key! A few pleasant messages here in the Comments, and to your partners is sure to convince us that you are a real person who cares, and even if you are late, you might be more easily forgiven! ;)
