BUMP :)

Looks like a number of us are showin' interest (Gemme, Pixie, Purepisces, Tommi, me, obviously Cara). Who else?

Diva professed interest and she said she'd wrangle if no one else offered to do so.

[nycfem]

Diva professed interest and she said she'd wrangle if no one else offered to do so.

Whoops! Didn't mean to leave anyone out or create confusion. After Diva's fab offer if no one else offered, Cara posted with a project so I thought that meant she was doing it since a number of folks seemed interest from the "thank you"s under her post. Then I reposted it with the people who showed interest in her project idea being the ones who clicked the "thank you" under her post (hoping to generate more sign-ups). Just clarifying so that no one thinks I was leaving them out for any other reason than I was being an overeager beaver and maybe on a trail of thoughts in my head that wasn't clear :blink:

[Tommi]

In more pleasant ramblings.....who's wrangling the next creation?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

If no one's claimed it, I will.....

BUMP :)

Again, just want to say sorry for mixing things up! Truly I get excited and read through fast and simply get anxious to get things going. I'm a nervous type who wishes never to offend anyone, least of all my pen friends!

I love excited femmes.. :mohawk:
PS.nobody knows..Pss. Probably nobody cares. Psst. Have done the same myself..

Psssssst. You and BB are one hot couple. XO
PS. I posted the signups in the Dear thread (left over Rafflemeister energy). I know Medusa said she has been interested in signing up, but may still be coasting after the Reunion

Back to your regularly scheduled news. So, now...we all wait breathlessly to hear from DIVA.

I'm excited to start the next round, too!

I can't imagine that anyone would be offended, in fact, you seem to be such a sweet and considerate person, it's difficult to imagine you being offensive. I think that both Diva & Cara offerded to wrangle the next round. I'm happy with either one (looks like Diva is up first) ... and I'm ready to get started!

[nycfem]

Alright, Diva, I see you on this thread- tell us what we are doing for our next project? :)

I hope that time helps......

I am so sorry that I missed the bash stuff. I had made the basket (it came out good!), but was unable to get it out in time cause i was in hospital. Some folks know, some don't that I have cancer. The fucking "c" word. Well now the Dr found bladder cancer, just when I was thinking I was gonna be ok. So here we go again. I am on morphine and have become an expert on throwing up lol.......On the 14th of Oct, surgery awaits me. Getting a bladder stint and a catheter bag......oh joy of joys! I miss being active here, I really need something to be involved in besides Dr's, drugs, and all that crap.can I come back??...........:missing:

I'm so sorry that you've been ill. Cancer is a hateful beast. I will most definitely keep you in my thoughts. :rrose:

You always do lovely work and your basket was sorely missed. I just know that whoever was lucky enough to win it would love it, whenever you do feel well enough to send it out.

We're still in the middle of a round but, once you've gone through your surgery and are healing and feeling much better, I'm sure your work would be appreciated. :)

[LadyRain]

Is there a way to find out? I would love to gift it to them!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gemme]

Is there a way to find out? I would love to gift it to them!!!!!!!!!!!

Tommi and LeftWriteFemme led the Raffling of the donations and I'm sure there's a list somewhere. Perhaps ask him? Or hunt down the old Raffle thread, as many folks listed what they won after the Reunion.

It's out there, somewhere.

[nycfem]

Rain, BB and I won the penpal basket. Please gift the basket to Medusa :)

Diva, I sent out my HAPPY project yesterday. What fun!

[Tommi]

Rain, I am glad to see you visit, even if you can't play. Hoping you have better and better days. Will be thinking of you. I'd make you some :tea: to sip and relax and let the sun shine upon your face.
I miss you when you don't pop in here. As you saw above jennifer won the PenPal prize, and was thrilled. pixie and I arranged it on the raffle table, and it was fun. I knew your basket was around the planet somewhere.

Yes, staying active here is really advisable. My Gramma used to say idle hands are the devil's work. I was her lil devil, and she gave me stuff to do allll the time.

About the nasty big C. Make it a little c. I am writing a book about having the little c. I have been a cancer activist for over 25 years, a six year endometrial ca survivor, and a Mentor at Long Beach Cancer Center. I see the importance of staying connected and playing. So, come out , come out , wherever you are, whenever you can, and if you need to yell out in the middle of the night someone is usually here.
Tommi

Best wishes. Tommi

Tommi,
Thanks so much! I just got Your Happies!!!! VERY cute! Don't cry over spilled polish! :eyebat:

But I have to say a BIG HUGE THANK YOU to LWF for the donation of children's books for the book drive I'm having for the Dell Children's Hospital Library!!!!!! Thank You SOOOOO much!!! How lovely! :praying:

[Gemme]

Everyone, Miss Diva's laptop has been out of commission for a few days, so she asked me to let you all know the care packages of yummy goodies will be out today or tomorrow!!!

:clap:

[Diva]

Ok......I'm here on a loaner computer because the guy who's fixing my laptop felt so sorry for me.....my eyes were glazed over in withdrawals.....and I kept muttering, "Control, alt, delete....control, alt, delete.....". :|

ANYway.....

Just wanted to let everyone know that Your Happies went out in this afternoon's mail and should arrive to You shortly! I think You will all be SO pleased.......these were so neat! Thanks for letting me wrangle! And thanks, Gemmie, for the good topic!

[Ebon]

Well I saw everyone's art work and it was so awesome. I'm going to join and make one the next time around.

[Gemme]

Gemme= craft recruiter extraordinaire!

:cheer:

Organic is right; everyone's work is lovely! I took full advantage of being a few minutes down the road from our lovely Miss Diva today and picked my goodies up.

Tommi, how cute and orginal was YOURS??? Both Organic and I got a big kick out of your piece. Great job.

I am always in awe of Diva and ami's work and I was not let down. Beautiful and elegant!

Jennifer, I am SO glad I met you in LR, because now I not only enjoy your work but now I can see YOU in it so much better. :cheesy:

diamond, you did a lovely piece. I'm glad you joined this round and look forward to more of your work.

Cara, you surprised me a little bit (in a nifty way!) with your piece but I loved it. Did you do different pieces? I got the Halloween one.

pure, I loved your list! I liked the zen quality to your piece.

Pixie, I knew yours was yours before I even looked for a name. *grin* If it's got black electrical tape, it's from Miss Pixie. :cheesy:

I can't brag enough about all of the work done. Maybe it's because it's been a little longer than usual, but I think I was Jonesin' for this.

High fives and big hugs all around!

[amiyesiam]

Well I saw everyone's art work and it was so awesome. I'm going to join and make one the next time around.

this Ahhhhh moment was brought to you by Gemme

thank you for the moment

[Gemme]

I'm really excited to have Organic working a project because we'll be working from the same supplies. It'll be reminiscent of the project where you sent out identical supplies, Ami. I enjoyed that project very, very much.

To me, it makes sense to let him use mine and see if this is going to be something he's going to want to participate on a regular basis before going all out at the store. Besides, he hates shopping of any kind.

I was thinking a tote, some markers, papers, and maybe a pack of brads or something. Not all out at the store. I do as much of my shopping on line as I can. I hate shopping too.

Is anyone planning their holiday wish lists Yet?
I have and most of mine is craft stuff!!
I want a cuttlebug.

heh

In Organic's world, that's too much shopping right there. :blink:

No worries, not all of my stuff is girly girl. I've got tons of brads and papers, including a whole masculine package from back in the day. It even has hunting stuff on it, I think.

Ask Diva. I think I had 4 boxes of scrapbooking items shipped to her when I moved and then I brought some down with me in the car too.

Dear Corkey
I would be most happy if I could have as much as Gemme!
Four big boxes full of craft stuff!

Dear Gemme
I am new to crafting.
from 12 until about 44 I did needle work
I am branching out in my old age

Dear Corkey
I would be most happy if I could have as much as Gemme!
Four big boxes full of craft stuff!
happy holidays love
your girl!

Dear Gemme
I am new to crafting.
from 12 until about 44 I did needle work

This just in: Gemmie has a masculin package. :|



In other news....YEA for OB joining in! Do I need a bigger table? :D

[Gemme]

I blame Gemme. :|

I see I woke up on the scapegoat's side of the bed this morning. :|

This just in: Gemmie has a masculine package. :|

Perhaps. I'll let him putter around on his own and see what he does first. He may be a solitary crafter.

I would love to come and sit at your table but your house will kill me.

Just wow....more art for the glitter closet!

[Diva]

Ohhhh...that's right......<sigh> I'm sorry!

[Gemme]

No need to worry, Diva. Organic might be intimidated by your artsy awesomeness. I know I could watch you create all day long. No lie. I love how you put stuff together.

Oh, one of our newer members, katsarecool, is an artist. I was looking at her link and she has a lovely picture of a Siamese. I thought of you when I saw it. :cheesy:

[katsarecool]

Thank you Gemme!!! That was awesomely sweet of you!!!

[Gemme]

Thank you Gemme!!! That was awesomely sweet of you!!!

Nahhh. I like pretty stuff, is all. :)


Okay, ya'll! I think Miss Katsarecool might join us for our next round! So, we'll have TWO newbies. That makes me super duper happy.

I know not everyone has received their packages yet but they HAVE been sent out, so would I be too pushy pushy to ask for a reminder as to who wanted to wrangle next? I keep thinking that Cara said something about wrangling, but I'm too lazy to go back and look. Does that sound right?

Cara, is that correct? And, if not, is there anyone chomping at the bit? If not, I'd love to wrangle another one. If not this coming one, then the next. *shrug*

Can you all tell I have my crafty stuff out and want to use it now, now, NOW? :|

[cara]

Diva, and everyone!

I just got my Happy package (the nice post person left it sitting on the little ledge above the mailboxes!)!!! It was the perfect 'pick me up' since I've been having a rough day. On top of work and choir stress, all this bullying stuff is really affecting me. Instead of sad tears, I have happy ones now! :stillheart:

Everyone did SUCH a wonderful job! I love the variety and creativity. I'm amazed and inspired. Thank you, all!!!

:stillheart:

[cara]

not to distract from the excitement over the Happy Project, but who is ready for the next one? is it still okay for me to wrangle? let me know and when i get home from rehearsal tonight, i will put together the project description and sign up list. :stillheart:

Side Note: Bent calls glitter the herpes of crafts. ;)

Mr. Bent may have something there. :|

I was never very good at arts and crafts,although this is my season right now.
My sister got me into detailed pumpkin carving and I love it. But I think the kids like it the most I think.

It has become the yearly ritual around here. :bluebat: :chainsaw:

Excellent! You have great timing, justkim! We're going to be doing another crafts round here very shortly. In the next day or so, Cara will let us know what project she's come up with for us to participate in and, if it's something you think you'd enjoy, then please make sure to sign up. All rules will be discussed then.

Glad you stopped by!

;) Welcome!

[justkim]

Dang! I thought I could get away with being quiet... I am looking forward to seeing what creativity I can bring forth... Most of my creativity happens when I am doing hair or going hog wild on a full set of acrylic nails...

Hey everyone!

I'm back from rehearsal and, as promised, here's the new project!!! :D

Simple Postcard Swap

In this project, we will be sending postcards about or from the cities in which we live. An acceptable alternative can be a city or cities which we have visited or want to visit. The postcards can be handmade or store bought, and should be a standard size (4x6...no larger than 5x7, please). In the blank space on the back of each card, please write a story, poem, or letter about the place pictured on the front of the card. Be creative! It's okay to "doctor up" store bought cards using any type of material that can (legally) be sent through the mail. You will need to send one postcard for every participant in the project. Remember to sign your name somewhere on the postcard so we know who it's from. :) Please do not worry about including money for postage this round. This is because I am horrible about remembering to include my check and no doubt owe some of you! :|

I'm capping this project at 15 participants. The sign up deadline will be 11:59 p.m. Sunday, October 24th. Projects should be postmarked and sent to me no later than Monday, November 22nd. Please sign up by adding your name to the list below. After adding your name, please PM your mailing address to me even if you think I already have it. I will PM my mailing address back to you as soon as I'm able. :)

Ami has to wait till the pictures arrive. I have a very good idea (honestly I just typed "I dear") of what I am doing.

currently I only have Corkey's sweater and a mini book I am working on, plus this now. That is pretty good for me!

I'm going to be super busy for the next 3 days, so if you don't hear from me that's why! I will be back in touch after this weekend, everyone.

:stillheart:

[justkim]

I am looking forward to this exchange...
I am going to have to go back and read this whole thread so that I make sure I have a complete understanding of how all of this works...
I want thank everyone for such a warm welcome...

Welcome welcome welcome aboard the fun bus.:hangloose:
The WHOLE thread. I can give you a quick picture.
Anyone can come up with and idea to do something fun.

Someone volunteers to be the Wrangler. They pick the topic, the dates to close the list, and the postmark deadline date, and the maximum number of signees to close the list at, and the postage to enclose so they may return the bulk mail. (It closes when either the list is full, or the date is met.)(Some people beg pretty please, and are of course added :)

All items, plus a mailing expenses are sent to the Wrangler, who will then have all signees adddress. Wrangler then mails out one of each from the collection they have received, to the list of signeees.

The thread does show some of the fun , creative stuff that has been wrangled.

The GOOD news is THIS time, I had a delivery confimation receipt.....so I will be checking on it now.

I think everyone else has gotten their's...yes?

[Diva]

Hmm...

I'm not sure what to tell Ya now, Tommi. I went to the website, typed in the delivery confirmation number and it says "acceptance".

I don't know what to do at this point....

[cara]

Looks like we've got our 15! :) At this point, I feel comfortable closing the sign-ups a half day early. So...

Projects should be postmarked and sent to me no later than Monday, November 22nd. If you have not already done so, please PM your mailing address to me even if you think I already have it. I will PM my mailing address back to you.

Here are the project "rules" again:

Simple Postcard Swap

In this project, we will be sending postcards about or from the cities in which we live. An acceptable alternative can be a city or cities which we have visited or want to visit. The postcards can be handmade or store bought, and should be a standard size (4x6...no larger than 5x7, please). In the blank space on the back of each card, please write a story, poem, or letter about the place pictured on the front of the card. Be creative! It's okay to "doctor up" store bought cards using any type of material that can be sent through the mail. You will need to send one postcard for every participant in the project. Remember to sign your name somewhere on the postcard so we know who it's from. Please do not worry about including money for postage this round. This is because I am horrible about remembering to include my check and no doubt owe some of you!

Looking forward to seeing your projects!

:stillheart:

Ummmmzzz Izz sorry, but due to a sudden uproot I am going to be unable to do this round...

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[nycfem]

Cara, I already sent you 14, so if it is alright with you, please mail the extra back to me when you send me my package because I would like to send it to Pixie even though she is not doing the project. Thanks a lot. This project was a total blast to work on! Jennifer

[purepisces]

I wondered if anyone is interested in participating in this sketchbook project? Sounds like fun ... and kind of like what we already do, without the museum tour, of course! The signup deadline is Nov. 15th and the books have to be mailed in by Jan. 15th.

http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject

[nycfem]

Yes, I've already started mine. It's a "rain" theme. Are you doing it?

It sounds very interesting! I'll think on it for a day or so. I see that one of the museum stops is in Austin, so that would be awesome to be able to see all of our work! I think I might miss not getting anything back though.

Ahhh. I just watched the video on it and it's very cool but I don't have the money to participate right now. So, not for me. I might still see the exhibit when it comes to Austin, though.

[purepisces]

I think I will ... I'm just trying to decide on the theme. I'm torn between "lines and grids" "figuring you out" and "below the surface" ... oh, who am I kidding, I have ideas for all of them except "jackets, blankets & sheets" and I have no idea what that's about!

I'm doing it! Mine is ~ big surprise ~ "Happy Thoughts". This is VERY neat, as it's touring to Austin!!!! I'm way tickled about that! :D

YEA!

[cara]

I'm back from visiting my brother and sister-in-law for the weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see nycfemmebbw's art project had arrived when I got home! :hangloose:

How is everyone doing on the project? I am still contemplating ideas, but hope to have time in the next few weekends to work on them. No more traveling for me until the new year (boo! but yay for r & r time!).

Organic and I haven't started yet. I have, however, found the spot I'm going to put them to dry during the various stages of painting. Baby steps, right?

[diamondrose]

i got an early start, but slowed as the weeks went by. :D I have 5 more to make, then they will be in the mail!

[justkim]

I am still trying to figure out what it is I want to send...
*scratches her head and wanders off to work on her math homework...

[Gemme]

I started out doing mine on Austin but the more I've thought about it, it's going to come out looking a lot like my last project, since I have only explored a little bit, but I've seen LOTS of the Austinites. :blink:

Soooo....I'm going to have to make it work. I'll channel my inner Tim Gunn.

[amiyesiam]

I have not started mine


I just learned there is a name for "borrowing" crafting ideas from others:

it is called Scraplifting

I hang my head in shame, for I am a scraplifter:police:

I am a referential artist. That means that my inspiration often comes from the work that others have done. I don't plagiarize, as I give credit where credit is due, but I do get ideas from their work. I think the term scraplifting is kinda cute, but I can't imagine you being guilty of it.

In other news, everyone please think good, positive thoughts for me tomorrow afternoon. I have a job interview and it's been almost 3 months of unemployment, so I am very excited and hopeful about this interview.

*breathes*

[cara]

I like looking at other people's ideas, but mostly when I'm being crafty, I like to 1) play with what I have (and I :stillheart: the challenge of using recycled materials), and 2) creating 8, 10, 15 or however many of similar but different projects. I'm the same way when creating cards. It drives my mom crazy because she likes me to make 2 of everything so she can reference them. I usually can't stand to make the same thing more than once! lol.

I TOLD you that you could use the stains to your benefit. There are some that could actually turn out kinda nice, like Henna tattooing.

I haz vision! :cheesy:

In other news, Organic has been judging my potential interview clothes. He's said things such as "it shows too much skin" for a scoop neck sweater and "that's nice; I like that" to pants that were clearly too form fitting. Methinks he's looking at my like a boyfriend. While that doesn't help with the choosing of the clothes, it kinda makes me schmoopy. :stillheart:

Interview went well. I wore the scoop neck sweater. Ann Taylor can't be beat. :thumbsup:

Thread related: I'm starting my project tomorrow!!! :clap:

[katsarecool]

Fingers crossed for you Gemme!!!! I finished the actual piece that makes up my project. Now it needs to be reproduced 13 times. The project leader Cara gets the original!!!! Which is considerably larger. :)

But not bigger than 5x7, right? That was our size restriction.

Are they going to be 100% copies or will you change a bit up here and there?

Are they shiny?

Are they happy?

Lol Gemme!!!! I thought they were to be 4x6. Am I wrong? Let me know now before I get started. :) They will be 100 percent copies (or prints in the art world LOL). No not shiny. Hmm I have to think about that happy question. Will ya'll like them? I hope so. Cara's will be 8x11 original artwork. (f)

[Diva]

I thought they were supposed to be postcard sized because Cara's mailbox is teensy~weensy.....

I may have made that up. :eyebat:

[cara]

Gah! My mailbox is tall and narrow. Maybe 3"x3" wide and 9" tall. Diva, I did say standard postcard size (4x6) but no bigger than 5x7. I think 5x7 is even too big for my mailbox, but the post person has been really nice to set packages on the ledge above the mailboxes in the hallway, so larger may be okay.

*crossing fingers*

:stillheart:

I might take a peak at your book before deciding for certain. I love the premise of it, I just don't know if I want to give $25 for the book and then let it go (even if I do let them know I want it back, I'm askeered it might not make it back to me in the same condition I sent it out to them, but I'm all Controlling McControlster about that kind of thing).

I know that Jennifer, pure and you are going to do AMAZING work, no matter what!

[Gemme]

Found in the Rules Section of the Sketchbook 2011 Project:


Your book

Don't forget that your sketchbook is touring the country with us - we don't want to be stuck in a car with your book if it's covered in hazardous materials or messy art supplies! Please try to avoid the use of ties, random plastic things, art materials that could smudge, glitter, and any hazardous materials.


I think I'm going to pass on this for now as someone was kind enough to let me know that you don't get your work back and now I find out I couldn't use glitter. I like glitter. *pout*

[Diva]

Purepisces and I are doing it. I have been getting materials together to do mine (I received it too). My theme is rain :)

I know! You're the one who got me all jazzed up about it! :) THANK YOU!!! I'm so excited!

My cards have been roughed up and have the first of umpteen coats of paint on them.

Just slightly behind you. :blink:

I know I can look for myself...but does anyone off the tops of their precious little heads know the final count for these things? Is it 13 now? Didn't someone drop out?

If this is the case....then....I'M FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was SO inspired to get these done before next weekend's craziness, that I cleaned off my desk and went AT it! OMG! I didn't care that the cats were climbing all over the shelves and playing with the Mardi Gras beads! I didn't care that Lucy was getting dog hair on my mother's quilt.....I was on a MISSION, by Gay!

This is the sigh of a artisically satisfied woman! <SIGH>

Do any of you have a Micheals Craft store around?
They are carrying Martha Stewarts new score board (youtube it if you don't know what this is)
it costs $20
if you have one of their 40 or 50% off coupons it will be 10 or 12 dollars

I am finding this to be very time saving

Are you magik like that?

I am keeping to the size but have lost the concept of post card

Thank you Cara!! So I only have to make 12, the original is yours and I won't keep one. I love even numbers!!!! LOL Tomorrow scanning, printing on card stock, cutting and placing everything in a large envelope and Monday or Tuesday off to the post office I go! Yeah!!!!

I am so excited about a volunteer opportunity that just opened up in my town for a greeter at the art musem on Saturdays. Three days before Christmas from 11am to 2 pm. I get to dress up professionally, wear make up, put my hair in a French twist, dab some light perfume and mingle with other artists and art lovers! I do not get out that much to talk and meet with other people since I went out on disability in 2005; except for family and the people who work at the bank, pharmacy and a favorite restaurant or two. Isolation is not a healthy state of being......

I get to dress up professionally, wear make up, put my hair in a French twist, dab some light perfume and mingle with other artists and art lovers! I do not get out that much to talk and meet with other people since I went out on disability in 2005; except for family and the people who work at the bank, pharmacy and a favorite restaurant or two. Isolation is not a healthy state of being......

maybe i'm using new math, but wouldn't that mean you make 13 and not 12? i'm confused.

your volunteer gig sounds great! i hope it's everything you want it to be. :)

:stillheart:

[Diva]

Yeah...it's 13.

We originally had 15 on the list, so we were to make 14. Then Pixie dropped out, so that made 13 we had to make.


I'm always worried I'll not make enough!

:stillheart:Confusing I know right? I make 12. Then you get the original 13 and I do not need to make one for me 14. Is that right? Or am I completly bonkers? I am looking forward to being a meet and greet at the art guild!!!

I'd be interested in wrangling another "post secret" themed project (when Cara's project is wrapped up) if folks are interested?


Here's a post secret that made me think instantly of Diva:

Hey, all,
I thought I'd share a sweet pen pal related gesture an old friend of mine from college did! She was going through old letters and posted a group of mine to her on Flicker! It was so fun for me to see because I don't even remember back to sending most of them! I also think it is an interesting commentary on how easy it was before Anthrax and mail bombs and 911 to send silly mail! All that you see was sent without an envelope! Oh, well, hopefully this link works. Her name is Melaina, and well... I'm Jenny/Jennifer.

Those of You in this thread who contributed books for the drive (for Dell Children's Medical Ctr. ~ where I volunteer), a million thank You's!!!! We collected around 300 books(English & Spanish)/coloring & activity books/crayons/DVDs for DCMC's Half~Pint Library!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are pictures in my Gallery!

Ok, I have some dreadful news. I am unable to get my scanner to work (it is brand new!). So I am only going to be able to send the original to Cara which will go out in the mail today. I am so sorry. I should have done this earlier instead of waiting till the last darned minute. With the breast biopsy scheduled tomorrow my mind is not there (it is in scared mode) to fiddle with the scanner. I am so sorry ya'll!!!!!! And sad too!!!

[cara]

When i get it, i will take it to work and scan and copy it. No worries. Hugs! ~cara
