Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hey, I was

Hey, I was thinking, you guys are like a family to me. And I'm sure everyone agrees when I say we're all friends right? So I thought we could do something together that friends do, if you know what I mean. And then it hit me! Friendship bracelets! What do you think? Everyone can just make/buy their own bracelets and we would be connected outside of the Chatterbox, too! Sorry if that sounds dumb, which it does. What do ya think? ;)

LilyPad out.

That's a cool idea LilyPad! I think that CBers had thought about this in the past, but never came up with a way to make it work. Having everyone buy/make their own would be a good solution because everyone could easily get one and they would know what it meant but wouldn't have to worry about trying to get the same one as someone else.

I love that idea! Can we post pictures of the bracelets we make?

That sounds cool! Maybe we could post what each of our bracelets look like on here afterwards. I model a lot of things out of clay and am currently pretty much out, but I’ll try to make my own.

I think that's a great idea! Even if we will never meet in real life, I feel like you guys are my friends. More like family. I'm proud of something I did-- first thing I want to do is share it with you guys. I'm upset over something-- first thing I do is ask for help. You've always been there for me, and I think a friendship bracelet would be a great way to show that. :)

That's a great idea, Lilly! I think it would be extra fun if we picked one color all together and all of the bracelets had that color. Or something like that, the idea is just to have them all have a matching trait, but also let us make them a bit more us. Can you do different patterens with friendship bracelets? Because if so that could work as well.

We totally should! And I think we should have the same colors, or a similar color scheme. I vote for that maroon/claret/burgundy color that shows up on the sides of the Chatterbox. Or maybe we could do something with the colors of each of the places? Green for the Inkwell, yellow for Pudding's Place, bronze for Down to Earth, Purple for Blab about Books, sky blue for Chirp at Cricket, and maybe we could include olive for This Month (though nobody really uses that one). 

Brilliant idea, LilyPad! I am all for it. I love friendship bracelets!

I really like Cockleburr's idea, the maroon/claret/burgandy color scheme.

@Allie and Autumn Moon, I think that's a great idea! We'd love to see pics.

I love the idea of the colour schemes of Cricket: olive green, sky blue, purple, brown, sunny yellow and deep green. That would probably mean we would have to make our own, but that shouldn't be a problem. We're all creative right?

I love this idea, but I can't make a friendship bracelet to save my life. I'd have to buy one.

As for color schemes, I think burgundy, sky blue, yellow, green, and white might do nicely.

That's a great idea! You guys are my friends even though we might never meet in real life.

I really like the idea of using the different colors of the CB. If we do this, I am deffinitly in.

This is really clever! I like the maroon/claret/burgundy idea that Cockleburr had. I had another thought. What if we posted a certain design that everyone could follow so that we could all make our own in a similar design. We could also see if we could all find charms that represent ourselves, what we write, and our AEs and put them on the bracelet to add individuality.

I think this is a great idea! I've always thought of the CB as one big family. I also like the idea of areeing on the color scheme and posting pictures of our bracelets.

Alex says bcte. You want a bracelet, too?

I think that we should color coordinate. And although I like the idea of doing a different color for every section, I think that it would be much simpler to use red. Much of the CB is red, and it would benefit even those who can't make bracelets. They could just tie a red string around their wrists. And, 5-strand bracelets are pretty hard to make. I've made a few, but they're difficult to weave and pretty time-consuming. So I vote an all-red bracelet.
