candy_coated_bitch I am so sorry for all your troubles, I have no idea why they were sent back originally.

You have my address so you can just send me mine. Hopefully everyone else gives you theirs. sis is the only one you have to worry about it getting there on time now, and that should not be a problem. Don't forget to send me your address so I can send all your other ones out.

I am sorry that me living in Canada became such a hassle for so many of you. I loved wrangling because I got to see them all, but it might not be worth it to everyone else to have me do it again.

Note: nanners and pixie I got yours today. YAY!!

Everyone did such amazing and very different work, i am so impressed.

I am in for any miniatures you want to do.

CCB, the last project that happened, I sent my first batch to Jen and about 2 wks later received them back and in the meantime I redid the batch and tried sending those. Those as well came back. So I'm not sure what is happening with the postal service. Its crazy!

US mail service is getting pretty sucky.
 

My ATC cards were returned too.
Alrighty then, Lemme tell ya what happened with my ATC cards..first time around.
I finished mine, got them in the mail early, and ~ ~ ~ they came back. Not enough postage. NOW, I had taken them to the counter, and personally mailed them after the counter person put the postage on them. (at a USPS contract carrrier's. Mail Bixes, etc.)..week later, there they were. Postage Due..so , I went to the MAIN USPS post office, and was told that not everyone understands the International mail rates , I paid about a dollar and a half more, and laruss got them. ...:seeingstars::seeingstars::seeingstars:

So, next time to Canada, I am going to slather the envelope with good old stamps and send it off...

PS. sending you my addy. :mohawk:

Yes, stay tuned. Sign Up. Watch for the next fun ideas and creative, artistic and homemade adventures to be announced SOOOOON.. :pile::pendulum::cookielove::bananasplit:
:bingo:

Sorry to have been so quiet (although I imagine many were thrilled I was) but just to weigh in quickly.......

I think the deadlines should be firm. Both Sis and LaneyDoll had good points and as I wrote a few pages back I went to extra expense to re-post mine after they were returned thinking if I didn't I would miss the deadline. If I had known we were going to extend I would have re-sent regular post and saved $50.00. But I am "Type A" like that, esp. regarding deadlines and so I take them seriously.

Smaller groups but all working on the same project might be more feasible. I know I was a latecomer added to the list and was so happy I could participate. I would have been bummed if I had not been added to the list then watched several people bow out (for whatever reason.) I think if the group is too small then the times I can't *live* on BFP I would never be able to make the list as it closes so fast. Maybe in this case 2 groups of 10 could have been done? I don't know if then we would need 2 wranglers, I suppose 1 for each group makes sense.

As to the current set of cards...I did not individualize mine but Laruss if you have everyone's address please go ahead and send mine to them, regardless of whether or not they stayed in or bowed out. Any extras can go in the BFP basket or send them back to me, whichever is easiest to do.

C-C-B, I will PM you my address and sorry you also had trouble mailing them off.


Katniss~~ (and yes please, on a new project!)

I don't think anyone did, Pixie.. Would be great to have you wrangle :)

You go girl. Love the excitement of doing something. I know...the rules will follow. :). :loveBFP:

Why start a sign up list if you aren't sure what the project is--- meaning I want to do another project but I don't want to sign up til I know what I'm getting into. But if I don't sign up now, will others take the place and I'll have to opt out? <scratching head>

Just sharing my $.02
 

Drawing from that right side of our brain
 

Since 2010, In the spirit of it all, it has gone both ways, filled fast, slow , drop outs and add-ons....and we get a little surprise package to enjoy on time, sometimes delayed. (Except for ONCE) When and if Someone mentioned a project months before, signups could be slow, or really fast
Maybe because I have done almost all of them I am signing up. No matter what they were, or who wrangled them since Gemme started the thread. If it is something I have never done, then I want to explore and experience it. (Which has happened to me several times..making jewelry, and ami's project of creating something from what she sent to us all) So, long and short of it, it's for fun..

If you look back to the 2010 or 2011, there has usually been a month or so for sign ups, and since it is something we all look forward to, some of us jump in...It's all good fun.

I love this idea because it takes a certain amount of skill to come back at a specific date and time and sign up. It will be like an announcement before concert tickets go on sale.
