Great to hear, Nanners! Were there any people who dropped out or did you end up receiving them all?

So, I'm poking my nose in here and wondering about the next exchange. Ya see, its that time of year for me ..... I'll be heading to Canada for the summer vacation on July 5th and I would love to be able to mail something in for an exchange like I did last year. I'm wondering if anyone has some ideas about this. I'm not able to wrangle an exchange as I'm more of a follower for this type of activity. I consider myself to be an okay participant in that I'm able to make the deadline. More importantly, having something sent to me in Canada would be less expensive than postage to and from China. Any thoughts??

Oh, and yes, I acknowledge y'all are in the middle of a project but I believe that will end soon. Again, this is just my wonderings and hoping that there might be a project in which I can participate.

SIGN UP COMPLETED for New Pen Pal Project: HALF INCHIES!!!

An Artist Trading Card (ATC) is a 2.5" x 3.5" mini work of art. An "Inchie" is the same but even smaller, 1" by 1" piece of art. A half inchie is a .5" by .5" piece of art. Tiny, tiny, tiny! Max of 10 people have signed up. That means you make 9.

There are no requirements for how you decorate your half inchies, but please only decorate one side, and write your name lightly in pencil on the back of each half inchie. If you want to specify who each half inchie is for, then write that on the back too (Practice your tiny script!). They can be ornate or very simple, whatever pleases your inner child. Please include 1 dollar (an actual dollar, no checks or money orders) for mailing costs.

Please get them to me by the end of April. I will mail them out May 1st COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, so don't even think of being late. Also, I live in a building that will not sign for packages, and my husbutch and I work so DO NOT send them with any requirement for receiving in person or signing for delivery. I will not deal with the horrible nyc post office and so it will wait and come right back to you.

I'm done!

I kept it simple so I wouldn't stress myself out and they actually came out kinda neat. I broke the rules though. I couldn't use pencil on the back, so I just put a big ole G on the back in marker so folks will know which end is up, cuz my design's a bit confusing. I made extras in case something fell off of one or got messed up. If all of them come to you fine, please send any leftovers back.

I'll mail them in the next couple of days.

Sis, what dates will you be in Canada? Then we can make sure the next project fits in so that you can participate. I know I always miss it when you are not participating.

Oops, Sorry nycfem....Sweet Bliss and Soft_Silver never got their projects to me so I am assuming they both dropped out.

Okay, thanks, Nanners. Can't wait to see the projects!

I will arrive on Saturday, July 5th but will only be able to get to a post office on Monday, July 7th. I will come with my 'stuff' ready to be posted. I leave around August 9th to head back to China. I'm thinking that my items would pretty much arrive at the wrangler's home within a couple of weeks. In order to receive something before I leave for China, the wrangler would probably have to send something to me right away as it takes a few weeks to get to Canada - our mail system is ssllooowwww! I do enjoy participating but I'm also okay drooling from afar if the time period isn't conducive for a project.

I got my package, despite my mail carrier's best efforts to rip it up by cramming it into a too small box.

Lovely work and there's a sweet piece of artwork prominently displayed on my fridge now.

My work is on its way to Jennifer as of lunch time today. For once, I'm not in the back of the pack.

Remember, there's no wiggle room on the deadline this time. The wrangler said come 'Hell or high water'.

That means bidnazz.

I think all of those I got were labeled. I had to look in some nooks and crannies for it, but it's there, except for one and that lead to a little deductive reasoning on my end. I'm getting lazy in my old age, so there are a lot from me that are just marked 'G' on the back.

Hint: mine came in a big envelope with two individual pieces in it and everyone's name stickered on the front and a flower sticker sealing the back.

Who made the amazing little book?

Who made the coloring book page?

Deb, tell us a date you want the next project due, and then whomever wrangles the next project can make that the due date. It would be great to have you in the next round and take advantage of you being in Canada!

The book is mine but it should have come inside a sealed envelope with the paper and fabric flower. I also marked the back with a G. Did you not get that?

I surmised (sp?) that the coloring book page was Deb's.

Yes I did, Gemme, but just had a brain fart type of moment, thank you. And I think you are correct in your surmising about which was Deb's.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 08:35 AM.
