[Nfb-krafters-korner] charm bracelet: was Next year's bracelet

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

When I first saw Terri's e-mail, I said to myself, how could you add a new bead each year, with out taking the bracelet apart?  Maybe charms would work better. After reading posts, today, what is next year?  It is NFB's 75th aniversery.  
Could our center piece or our first charm, commemorate this year?

Just another idea!

Wouldn't it be cool if the main part of the bracelet could say and FB and then we could put charms of the year around the bracelet or we could even make keychains or necklaces. Around graduation time they always have charms that state the graduation year those would work for the charm bracelets also! I think this idea is a wonderful one!!! 😊
