More post secrets to look at today :)

Info:

Include 5 dollars for my shipping costs.

Please do NOT require signature upon delivery or delivery to be received by a human, etc. I am not going to the NYC post office because it causes me to go postal........

Make one postcard for each person. You can make all the same postcard for everyone or all different ones.

Secrets can be anonymous or you can sign your name.

You can let me decide who gets what or you can specify by writing it on the reverse side of the postcard or on the outside of a plastic baggie or envelope.

Postcards do not have to be 4x6, just reasonably sized. .......

For examples of postsecret, go to http://www.postsecret.com or do a google image search for "post secret" or "postsecret" (Post cards can be serious, personal, philosophical, whimsical-- whatever you choose.).[/QUOTE]

Some reactions to the triptychs:

1) Surferboi, the little beach shoes are so cute! And the water is so beautiful! So glad you've joined our group. You are talented!

2) Clay, I always love how you include a letter and also those embossed butterflies and swirls are frickin' amazing! Love you more ;). Oh, and can you tell more on the thread about how you did the embossing? It came out awesome!

3) CCB, mini=cute!, don't know how you found the quote "fierce and femme" (how did you?), and I love the little heart cabochon!

4) Gemme, love how the butterflies are in different positions and also love this project! You came up with such an awesome new idea! Now I'm obsessed!

5) Cara, love the flower! Love the positivity! Love the mini envelope! Love you!

6) Sweetcheeks, I love the material you used! I'm also a fan of nature. Your project is beautiful!

7) Ami, I adore the patterns, the gold, and the message. Thank you!

8) Breathless, I love how you used the little photo holders, and of course the flower itself is stunning!

9) Besame, Girrrrl, you outdo yourself! Damn! Sexy! I love the polka dots and the black lace and the different materials. Just amazing!!!

Funny story: I posted some pics of my triptych chains on FB and a friend said she fell in love with one of them, sooo I had to give it to her and get out all my supplies again to redo the one I had to give away. I guess I didn't have to give it away, but I'm a sucker for someone who says they have to have something I made! :D

I'm so grateful for you all, my penpal friends, old and new. I feel like my life has a special secret magic in it thanks to you all!

So how's everyone's postsecret going? Mine are all done. No art involved for mine. I collect postcards so I picked out a postcard for each person and wrote a secret on it. I feel like my secrets stay the same (my deep dark ones) so hopefully you won't mind if by slight chance you get the same secret from me again (though I used a different secret for each person). In any case, it feels good to get them out! The way I did mine is secret on the picture side of postcard and to/from on the back, though of course you don't need to do the to/from thing- I just chose to.

Sounds nice! Mine are almost done. I wanted to work on mine this weekend, but my home computer is with our tech department being updated with software. So I'll finish them up this week and next weekend.

I'm using both sides of my cards. For instance, I created phoney stamps on the to/from side. Is that okay? You're not putting stamps on these and sending these out individually, are you? Or do I need to keep the address part blank (I was using that part to write who it's going to). Thanks, nycfem :)

Orema, what you are doing sounds great! Of course, anyone can do them exactly how they wish!! I'll send them out as one package, not individually.

Fabulous! That's what I was hoping. :)

It does feel good to get them out! (Or in my case, get one out - mine are all the same.) I was kind of surprised by that. I'm still working on mine - I keep feeling like I can make it a little bit better if I keep working on it. I'll either be satisfied with them eventually, or I'll run out of time. :)

New secrets because it's Sunday. Posting for inspiration. And trigger warning to those unfamiliar with Postsecret.

Mine are in the mail :)

Re: Postsecret project
I probably should have asked this sooner, but when I planned my project it seemed obvious that some secrets might be trigger-y. Mine could surely be seen by some as trigger-y. Should I offer to let people opt out of receiving mine? Should I package them individually in plain brown wrappers with a warning on the outside? Or am I worrying about a nonissue - does everyone assume they might be getting something trigger-y? nycfem, what do you want me to do?
Sorry I didn't think of this earlier.

No, it can be assumed that for this project people have a good chance of receiving triggery cards. You do not need to label, wrap, etc. The postsecret site itself makes it clear that it's a place where you do get to release a real secret. Most of mine are definitely what would be deemed "triggery."

Mine are done! I couldn't sleep so I finished these up instead. I will put them in the mail later today or tomorrow.

Gemme's cards arrived!

Mine should be there too!

Yours arrived, GeorgiaMa'am :)

You should have mine, too.

Clay, your cards arrived! :) :) :)

My cards were returned to me.

Nycfem, I sent you a PM. Please confirm I have the correct address and I'll take them to the post office in the morning.

Not sure what happened—operator error, I'm sure.

Sorry about that. Just sent you a PM.

No worries—something weird happened.

Just dropped mine off at the mailbox in front of the post office. Should arrive soon. Keeping my fingers crossed :)

Mine are done but I wont be mailing them out until the beginning of next week. I will keep you posted.

Besame- on the way. Cara and Breathless&Surferboi, are yours on the way? If anyone hears from these folks please post.

I know, me too!!! I think I've forgotten for several projects now and had to send the money separately.

Breathless&Surferboi and Cara, please check in on the thread and let us know if yours are on their way. Thanks.
