Butch Femme Planet - Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types

BUMP. How's everyone's projects going? Please take an extra one or two weeks if you need it. For any of those stuck or pressed for time, please don't drop out. It is absolutely fine to write your secrets on simple paper or already made postcards. Keep it as simple as you want or need to.

POSTSECRET project (closed for sign up, due by end of month)

1. Jennifer/nycfembbw (wrangler)
2. ahk
3. Gemme
4. pajama
5. Bleu-RECEIVED
6. Laneydoll
7. Stepfordfemme-RECEIVED
8. Cara
9. laruss
10. Tommi ~ 9 Postcards 2 the Post office first thing in the AM, into the mail 2/28 , including $$ :mohawk:

Info:

Postcards due end of Feb (Send me a package with all the postcards, and I'll send you one back with postcards from each person participating). If in US send me 5 dollars for shipping. If in Canada send me 10. Please send me your package without any confirmation or need for signature. It's more likely to get lost at the nyc post office while it waits for me to come sign it than it is to just reach me without all that. To determine the number of postsecret postcards to make, subtract one (yourself) and you will know how many cards to make. PM me your address and I will send you mine IF we've never sent each other anything in the mail before (almost all of you I have before). You can make all the same postcard or all different ones. Secrets can be anonymous or you can sign your name, and you can let me decide who gets what or you can specify by writing it on the reverse side of the postcard (e.g. To: ahk From: Bleu -- or just From: Bleu or just To: ahk). All secrets must be kept secret and sacred, because while some go for light or not personal; some use it for catharsis. Postcards do not have to be 4x6, just reasonably sized. If you want to specify a "from" or a "to" (reminder: you can leave blank if you want, and I'll decide and you'll be anonymous), but you used both sides of your postcard for the project then just put it in a ziploc type baggie and stick a label on it or write on the baggie with permanent marker. For examples of postsecret, go to http://www.postsecret.com or http://www.photobucket.com and do a search for "post secret" or "postsecret"

Soon. Wer'e almost there

Yeaaahhh cara.

How have you been.
Long time no see. :) The precious potted flower you sent for one of the projects is sunning in my kitchen window.

:pile:

We are almost there.

Next project waiting in the wings, soon as this one is wrapped up.

Still to be heard from

LaneyDoll, laruss, and pajama,

cara	03-05-2013 10:29 PM

Thanks, Tommi! My little flower is sitting on the altar in my front hallway. Not that I have a back hallway. Or a side hallway. I digress. I've been doing a bit of hibernating. My new job is taking all sorts of energy from me, and my muse has been hiding. But guess what? My 90-day probation period is up next Monday! Can you believe it? Time sure is flying by. How are you? How is everyone, for that matter?

Hugs,

Cara

Hibernating is a good thing if it is part of self-nurturing and just as in nature your psyche and body can use , like nutrition. Your muse is storing up energy...look out when the time comes. Big smiles, and happy dances as you spin and grin.

Probation over in 3 day, celebrate and let your muse know it's time.

Hope everyone is ready for springing spring. (f)(f)We are going to need all of you

Okay, taking a bold step forward as I'm in the departure lounge heading to China ...... I wanna be in the NEXT round of action because I actually know where the post office is and I'll be able to personally send 'things'. I've had to use co-workers here in Viet Nam and always needed to 'monitor' what I sent. lolol So, please, please, please, would someone inbox me privately to ensure I receive notice of a new project? Also, I require a VPN to actually access BFP here in Viet Nam ..... VPN are constantly being 'knocked out' in China so sometimes my access will be limited and I may not communicate regularly. Regarding sending packets ..... I don't mind NOT receiving something, I just want to participate. Perhaps the goodies I am to receive could be forwarded to someone in our community that needs a 'boost'. Okay, lots of things to think about and I need to get to my gate!

Sis, so excited you want to participate in the next round! I can vouch that Sis is completely responsible and reliable with mail. Actually I bet a bunch of you might remember her from the penpal projects years ago! She rocks!!!

Hey everyone! My update: I have been fighting a sinus infection since Dec and seem to be taking a turn for the better. I am no longer coughing until I see stars (literally) and I feel like I may actually be part of the land of the living now.

I am working to get my part of this project completed and I would like to apologize to everyone for my delay.

Dear Laneydoll,

We hope you feel better soon, and don't worry about the delay.

Lots of love from:

your pen friends :)

Hello y'all! I've been on a self-imposed cyber time-out, but I'm back and I've missed you guys! Hope everyone is well.

Tommi, can't wait to see what you have in store for us on the next round!

ahk	03-14-2013 09:06 PM

I've done 6 so far--
in the meantime, I've been studying for exams, Friday is my final exam before I graduate and yesterday (wednesday) our beeps (puppy) went missing. so in between studying and looking for dog-- I haven't had a chance to finish. But as of Friday at 12, I will be class free. Thank you for allowing my delay.
