Ok...so I started my project right after I signed up. Did three pieces. Put it away and worked on the other site's craft (remind me not to do two at a time again..k?) then I did what I always do..procrastinated...which then translated into a problem when my back went out and the snow storm hit. I finished up the other site's...its ready to go out technically one business day late, on Monday(tomorrow) BUT... that gave me time to finish up this site's craft....

so I did what I always do..procrastinated...waited ...and then got busy..did two more of what I had planned for this session...

and then did the impossible...

I changed my mind...

I started an ENTIRELY different idea...!!!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????????


Because I am a glutten for punishment...

but..they are done and are so damned cute...

but I warn you..the card they are stuffed in are handwritten by me and are NOT pretty. My handwriting is awful and I am tired and my finger were cramping from the detailed work I had to do...so forgive the card and focus on the craft...

and I need to include this little story..

how many of you are fans of Tori Amos? Do you know her one song where her daddy is asking her "when are you going to love you as much as I do you?"

the idea came from that song....

all because I think everyone needs to hear that from someone...

and everyone needs to work on it...

this craft will help you to remember it, and keep it...

cara 02-28-2010 09:49 PM

Done! I will be going to the post office to mail them after work tomorrow. Hooray! :)

I've done that before. It's hard to play catch up, but I look forward to seeing how you blended that with the Green theme.

I only have a couple more to do! They're not as detailed as they would be if I hadn't also been traveling and doing other projects, etc and so forth, but I think they are cute.

I opted to take green to mean not only the color (lots of green paper, ya'll!) but as in organic...natural. You'll find some handmade paper in most of the pieces. All in all, I give myself a :clap:

Mine are going out in the mail today Priority Mail. I hope everyone likes them... they turned out pretty cool...and Diva helped with adding another idea to My original one. Enjoy.

Logicaly 03-01-2010 10:09 AM

Mine are going out today. Just dropped them off. Although I was in such a hurry I forgot to put the money in before I sealed it. So diva watch for a second one to arrive with the money. I will drop it first thing tomorrow. I'm sorry, its turning out to be one of those mondays.

Time for the next round of fun.

I will be wrangling this one (my first)

We will be doing something different this round.

There is no theme

People will sign up. There is an absolute limit of 10 plus me, due to cost to me. (sorry) sign up will close March 7. You will also have to send me your address if I do not have it. (please assume I don’t have it) Please do not sign up if you don’t think you will be able to finish, usually these projects are just about one’s own time and $. This round involves my $, so I have a opinion!

After sign ups I will be sending those 1o people a package containing the exact same materials! I will mail them out March 9th.

Everyone will have 3 weeks to complete their project (more info below)
Everyone will then mail the completed project back to me with the $5.00. It should be post marked by March 31st.

I will then sort and mail the packages out within 3 days.


The project
I thought it would be cool to send everyone the exact same materials and see what everyone does with them. I think that when it is all done, a lot of us are gonna look at what others did, and damn why didn’t I think of that LOL.

Here are the peramiders of the project:

everyone starts with their base card. It is black. You must use it. It is a triptyck card. (google it!) You CAN alter this card, but it must be your base. I gave you extra cards in case of mistakes and a template if needed.

you must use the materials included. You DO NOT have to use all of them. The materials are varied and can lend themselves to multiple directions.

You DO NOT have to make all your cards the same. You can, if you want, make them all different. If you want to make them for specific people, put their name on it.

The only materials you can use that are not included:
adhesives, glue, tape etc

pens, pencils, markers, pastels, charcoals, paints, watercolors, stenciling, and stamping

triptyck card
 
So I googled.

Are you sending us each, 10 triptyck cards? Can we help defray the cost of that for you? I mean, I would have had to pay for supplies anyway...

This sounds as good as I thought it would!

I have a question.....

If we can only use the cards You send us....and they're black....stamping won't show up....will it? And we can't use stuff we have in our own personal arsonals either?

Can You tell I'm stressing already? lol
