I have to drop out. I just, can't. I'm sorry and apologize to everyone else in the project. I also accept the consequences of my actions as per the thread rules.

Mine should be there Wednesday, Gemme. I apologize for the lateness.

Yes. Thanks.

According to my tracking tool, my swap items were delivered today, Gemme. Hooray!

What kind of crafty stuff have you all been up to for Halloween this year? I haven't had a ton of time, but I found a few cute things at Jo-Anne's and Target: pre-cut and scored paper coffins ($1.00 for a pack of 4!) and some glass test tubes with labels a la Martha Stewart (On sale for nearly 75% off!). I will be using those for a few small candy gifts for my co-workers. I am also going to attempt to carve a pumpkin this weekend using a cookie cutter and a hammer/mallet. We'll see how that goes. My back-up plan is a pumpkin with silver thumbtacks that will spell out something spooky. 😳

Hi Gemme, my package is supposed to be there, too. Please let me know if you got it. Thanks!

I have an idea I'd like to float for the next project. I think it's a pretty easy one, and I feel like we need an easy one - at least I do, for this upcoming holiday time of year. Is everyone ready to start thinking about a new idea? Or does anyone else have their heart set on being the next wrangler?

I'd love to hear your idea GeorgiaMa'am!

Thanks for the feedback! Lately it seems like the most crafty thing I want to do is color. The autumn leaves have really inspired me. I was thinking that we could have a coloring exchange with two parts. First, find something you want to color, whether it's something you find in a book or something you draw yourself. Next, before coloring it, make a copy/copies of it - so you can send a blank one along with your colored picture to each person. The goal is to exchange not only pictures we have colored with each other, but also to send uncolored versions so that we can all have new things to color in our own way.

A couple of guidelines:
1. Color a picture of anything you want. If you want to make something out of your colored picture, that is fine too, but the primary object is to color the paper.

2. Any medium is fine - color pencils, crayons, markers, but if you use some of of the messier tools, like pastels, then please spray with a fixative before sending. If you want to use some other method of decoration, like stamping, that is fine too, but it must also involve some coloring.

3. I'm willing to go up to anything 8-1/2 x 11, but please keep it flat, unless you don't mind folding it.

4. This is a guideline that some may object to, and I'm willing to discuss it. However, I'd like to say that, for this project, photocopying is okay. I often color large pictures with a lot of detail - it can take me a couple of weeks to color one picture. I'd prefer to color something large and detailed and make copies of it to send to every participant. The alternative would be coloring several small, not-as-detailed pieces, which doesn't excite me as much.

Does this sound like a project that any of you would be interested in?

Sign me up (literally, as I am never able to add myself, so wrangler usually adds me to list when they sign it).
Sounds awesome. I love it!!!
Thank you Georgia Ma'am!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE my sweet package. It came fast, too!

Yes. :artist:

Count me in too. I'm also fine with the idea of photocopying if the individual desires or coloring each picture individually (I.e. it's nice to be able to make that personal choice myself). I would also like the ability to give a different blank coloring page to the person who is receiving my project than the one that I myself colored (I.E. A different design). That way I can think of what each person might specifically enjoy. It sounds like a great project! I absolutely love to color and I have tons of coloring books. I am looking forward to this project.

I'm going to say it will be okay to send a similar picture instead of a copy of the exact one you are coloring. I suppose if someone wanted to, they could take actual pages out of a coloring book and send those. The idea was mainly for us all to get a bunch of new pages to color, in addition to seeing everyone else's beautiful artwork.

This exchange has two parts. We'll exchange colored pages, and also blank coloring pages. The goal is to share not only pictures we have colored with each other, but also to send uncolored versions so that we can all have new things to color in our own way.

1. Find something you want to color, whether it's something you find in a book or something you draw yourself or something you print off the internet.

2. Before coloring it, make copies of it - so you can send a blank one along with your colored picture to each person. (Alternative: Send similar uncolored pictures instead of a copy of the one you are coloring. Send the removed pages from a coloring book if you want to.)

3. Color the picture. Either color one picture and make enough copies of the finished work for everybody to have one, or color a different, original picture for every person. It's up to you.

A couple of guidelines:

• Color a picture of anything you want. If you want to make something out of your colored picture, that is fine too, but the primary object is to color the paper.
• Any medium is fine - color pencils, crayons, markers, but if you use some of of the messier tools, like pastels, then please spray with a fixative before sending. If you want to use some other method of decoration, like stamping, that is fine too, but it must also involve some coloring.
• Up to 8-1/2 x 11 and keep it flat, unless you don't mind folding it.
• Photocopying is okay.

Sign up ends Sunday, 10/30. Projects are due to me on or before Monday, 11/28. They are officially late and the late rule applies on Tuesday, 12/6.

"For 2016, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2017. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules."

GeorgiaMa'am, is there a limit of 6 for this project? It seems popular.

No, I don't think I'll set a limit, especially since people can photocopy, and since there's no size minimum, either. Let's everybody color!
