Thoughts on a IFV charm bracelet?

I was thinking that it would be great to do an exchange that contained something tangible from each of the lovely IFV girls that would want to participate.
So I was thinking we could do a group charm bracelet exchange. Each girl would purchase an empty charm bracelet and then send it down the line for decoration. each bracelet would be sent to each girl who would add a charm of their choosing and then an explanation of their charm with a little note. Then they would send it on to the next person. Once your bracelet gets back to you it should be complete and ready to wear!
you can find pandora style charms for $2 each so depending on how many wanted to participate it should be affordable. it would only work though if everyone participated. it could be fun! Thoughts?
