I'd like to wrangle the next project...is that OK with everyone?
If so, so here's my idea....


Since the Holiday season is a busy time of year for many, I thought it could be something that you can make simply, or get as detailed as you wish.
You will make a folded notecard, matching envelope optional, with your wish for the New Year as a quote or your own words. You can be serious or funny, make it personal or general. No larger that 5 X 7 please. You can use any medium you want making the card.
I'd like to make the signup deadline Dec. 11th at 6p.m. CST and make the deadline due to wrangler on Jan. 6th. (Is that enough time or considering the Holidays should it maybe be Jan. 14th?)

What do you all think?

I like it nanners! I have just one question, though. Is the quote/wish part of the design of the card (i.e., on the front), or is it the message of the card (i.e., on the inside)?

That would be up to the person designing the card. Either way is fine.

Given the ease of the project, I'd say that the 6th of January should be plenty of time to complete the cards and get them to you. There's still the week before the late rule kicks in, so imo that should be fine.

I was thinking about resolutions earlier this week and this kind of plays off of that, so I think it's going to be fun!

Sounding good so far, I'll wait to hear from a few others, and if it looks like a GO I'll post the sign up Monday evening.

sis 12-05-2016 07:20 AM

Just poking my head in with a gentle reminder that mail delivery is different for those living outside of the continental USA. No, I will not be participating until 2017 but if I was participating in this round I would have to spend extra $$ on express mail OR have the packet mailed out on the sign-up closure date (especially during the holiday season) and then hope my packet would arrive by the due date.

No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting six months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project for 2017. If that is not done, then the member is welcome to participate in the thread with "thanks" and reps and thread chat but not to participate in any future projects for 2017. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. 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.

Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in 2017 and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this:

'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/14/17. I can start participating in new projects on 8/14/17. I have added myself to the list below:

1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/17, able to participate 7/28/17)
2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/14/17, able to participate 8/14/17)'

This rule must be posted in its entirety 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."


That works for me too. I like the fairness of it as each person who is late gets the same time to do personal stuff outside of the thread as everyone else who has been late and I like the responsibility of it, which is really why we felt it necessary to create rules for tardiness anyway.

Any people considering wrangling need to take an extra moment to make sure that they are willing to abide by the rules for everyone, whether it's a friend or even your boo that is late. I think the wrangler mail out part of the rule will help with this because a wrangler must get all of the completed packages back out into the mail within a week of the late date or else risk getting their own self on the late list. I like a system of checks and balances.

On a related note, I can't wait to hear what you have in store, nanners!

I agree to the new rules & like that each person has a responsibility to post if they should miss a deadline & add themselves to the list.

One thing I see recurring a lot is this....we have an "original" due date the wrangler posts...and it has always said ON OR BEFORE a specific date. It seems to me this gets misinterpreted often...and participants see it as 'Oh good projects aren't actually due on say 02/14/17 but rather due by 02/21/17. ....SO we should take the responsibility to ensure if we are signing up take responsibility to adhere to that ON OR BEFORE specific date. The 1 week past original due date is a buffer of sorts, & sometimes IS necessary to get projects in by.

I am always so excited for NEW projects & getting completed ones, so I like when we get them in on original due date and not extend another week...it is good for a buffer, or emergencies that may/do come up in life...:)

Anyway that is something I want to see clearer for folks who do sign up...

Great job on New Rules for 2017!! Thanks!!!

clay 12-05-2016 12:12 PM

Excellent & fun ideas nanners! Thank you for offering to wrangle & a swell idea!!

***New Project!***
Since the Holiday season is a busy time of year for many, this is a project you can make simply, or get as detailed as you wish.

You will make a folded notecard, matching envelope optional, with your wish for the New Year as a quote or your own words. The words can be on the outside or inside of the notecard. You can be serious or funny, make it personal or general. No larger that 5 X 7 please. You can use any medium you want making the card. Please include $5 for the wrangler's postage expenses. I am not limiting the number that sign up.

Signup deadline Dec. 11th at 6p.m. CST and the deadline due to wrangler is on (or before) Jan. 6th. Projects are officially late and the new 2017 late rules applies on Jan. 14th.

Hi Crafty Ones,

Re: The Coloring Project

These went in the mail today instead of yesterday because thunderstorm/rollator in the rain/arthritis. But, they have now been dispatched! I have tracking numbers for all, and they should be to you by Friday. If you haven't received yours by this weekend, let me know and we'll track it.

PROJECT BEING WRANGLED BY NANNERS - ALL MAIL SHOULD BE SENT TO NANNERS

**New Project!***
Since the Holiday season is a busy time of year for many, this is a project you can make simply, or get as detailed as you wish.

You will make a folded notecard, matching envelope optional, with your wish for the New Year as a quote or your own words. The words can be on the outside or inside of the notecard. You can be serious or funny, make it personal or general. No larger that 5 X 7 please. You can use any medium you want making the card. Please include $5 for the wrangler's postage expenses. I am not limiting the number that sign up.

Signup deadline Dec. 11th at 6p.m. CST and the deadline due to wrangler is on (or before) Jan. 6th. Projects are officially late and the new 2017 late rules applies on Jan. 14th.

I got my package yesterday and loved it! Everyone did something completely different and unique and I really enjoyed the way you all 'saw' the project. Very cool!

clay 12-10-2016 08:38 AM

My package of goodies came last evening.

I was really blown away by all of the different renderings & each person's project!

I smiled as I held each one, looking at every detail of them. This was a really fun project & I truly enjoyed it. I love each piece sent to me..and thank you Georgia Ma'am for an incredible project!!!

You are all amazing artists...thank you all...

Thank you so much for all the beautiful coloring projects. It was fun to open my mail and view each one. They are all so different from each other project. I love it!

Please PM me your addresses and I will PM the group my address once I have all of your addresses. Thank you!

**New Project Due Date to Wrangler is on (or before January 6th).**
Since the Holiday season is a busy time of year for many, this is a project you can make simply, or get as detailed as you wish.
You will make 8 folded notecards, matching envelope optional, with your wish for the New Year as a quote or your own words. The words can be on the outside or inside of the notecard. You can be serious or funny, make it personal or general. No larger that 5 X 7 please. You can use any medium you want making the card. Please include $5 for the wrangler's postage expenses.
Deadline due to wrangler is on (or before) Jan. 6th. Projects are officially late and the new 2017 late rules applies on Jan. 14th.

"For 2017, 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 six months from the latest date that the project was supposed to be due. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting six months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project for 2017. If that is not done, then the member is welcome to participate in the thread with "thanks" and reps and thread chat but not to participate in any future projects for 2017. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. 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.

Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in 2017 and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this:

'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/14/17. I can start participating in new projects on 8/14/17. I have added myself to the list below:

1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/17, able to participate 7/28/17)
2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/14/17, able to participate 8/14/17)'

This rule must be posted in its entirety 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."

One thing I would like to see going forward is that everyone who signs up sees & adheres to the On or Before date...and makes an effort to get their projects in on that date, and only uses the one week buffer for emergencies....please & thank you!!!

Clay, I for one agree and have to admit it will really help me if that could happen with this project. I'm supposed to leave on vacation on the 13th of January...but may need to change that if someone's does not come until the 14th. :praying:

OMG, The Pressure!!!

No, seriously, nanners, why did you set it up that way? Should we all maybe just agree to set that date back one day? I really don't think you should have to possibly delay your vacation, and wait with dread until you have all the projects. Since we're at the beginning of the project, it would be okay with me to shift the date back by one day now.

Oh, never mind. The 14th is actually too late. Everything has to be to you on or by the 13th. It's officially late _on_ the 14th.

And nan has a week to get all of the packages out to us from the 13th, so that's going to be tight for her too, depending on how long her vacation is.

I agree that the timing and deadlines could have been tweaked a bit differently but this project is definitely one of our easier ones to accomplish the goal, so I'm thinking it was nanners hedging a bet that we'd all get done early enough that she could get the packages back out to us before her vacation.

I think we can do it! :)

Yes, Gemme, you are exactly right. I thought about it and decided since many of us would have days off around the 24th-25th of Dec and Dec 31-Jan 1 as well, that there might be a little extra time to work on projects as well. I already have the envelopes to send the notecards out as well...and I will address them as soon as I have all the addresses. I have many of your addresses already.

Tommi, nycfem, Tommi's kaijira and Georgia Ma'am. you don't really have to PM me your addresses, they are ones I have already.

I haven't had time to work on mine yet - it has to wait until after Christmas - but I've been thinking about my wish, and I have changed it several times!

Understand. You still have time....and I am certain your work will be as amazing or more so, as it usually is Ms Ga Ma'am...:)

The 13th. The packages must reach nanners on or before the 13th of January. The late rule and the consequences for tardiness will kick in ON the 14th.

I'm currently in a state of flux but know exactly what I'm going to do and have all of my materials so I foresee getting my stuff in ahead of schedule.
