It seems quite reasonable that we should send seven dollars with future projects.

clay	11-23-2022 08:48 PM

I agree. My package was almost $6 itself.

And our last several projects we said $7 would be the amount to send with projects.

I GOT MY PACKAGE, I GOT MY PACKAGE!!!

It's wonderful and definitely worth waiting for. It was interesting to see some common themes running throughout most, if not all, yet everyone approached the theme so differently. Everyone was so creative! And Gemme, you were so thoughtful - thank you for wrangling. I love them all, I really do. Thank you everyone.

Now that you mention it, clay, I recall that we did.

Upcoming projects.....wrangled by me

I will wrangle 2 simpler projects for rest of year.

FIRST: a post secrets project...flavor dark/dark(er)....:)

SECOND: a MINI MATCHBOX of Goodness.....

What you crafty peeps think??

Have parameters being drawn up...both projects will start soon....and both be done & returned by 3rd week of December

See you all soon

I just got my package out of the mailbox and I'm having all the feelings. Everything is so beautiful. Clay, your note was so kind, it made me cry (in the best way). Thank you all so much for these beautiful little gems. I'm excited to do the next one.

I’d be in for both if we had them due by the end of January. December is just too crazy for me. And the matchboxes in particular take a long time. Though I love them!

nycfem and clay, I totally agree. December is much too soon. The end of January sounds much more doable for me. Thanks for rearranging the dates, clay.

I've never done the match boxes, but I'm intrigued. Will there be parameters for these?

FireSignFemme

11-24-2022 10:38 PM

Not sure about the matchbox project yet, I'll have to think on that but if the deadline is going to be end of January I'm up for the post secret project for sure.

POST SECRETS

Pssst.....my dark side is showing...

So, bring your dark(er) secrets....they are safe here!

FINAL DUE BY 5pm 12/17

MAIL BACK out 12/23

Thank you if you can do these....wanted to post both so folks have really long time to get matchboxes done.

MATCHBOX PROJECT GOODNESS JANUARY 2023

Signups open 01/07/23
Signups close MN 01/14/23
Project Due 01/21/23
FINAL due after 1 week grace 01/28/23
Send out 01/31/23
Include $7 for postage.

I know you may tweak it. I will be in hospital Jan 19-21......so IF everyone will be a bit flexible on my returning them, I am cool with it.

Go wild, any media, just fill it with mini chatzchzkis of funness.... in a MINI MATCHBOX.

Gemme

11-24-2022 11:08 PM

clay asked me to post the parameters as posting in general is getting tough. Above are the parameters for both projects. I'll set up a sign up sheet and will post some links for those who are not familiar with these projects. These are tried and true projects. The Post Secrets project is very simple and easy but the matchbox project takes more time and thought. They are both super fun, though.

Stay tuned!

Ideas for matchbox projects!

This video shows both the large and the mini matchboxes, but the ideas are still good.

Do we create a matchbox for each person and we'll mail the wrangler at least 8 boxes if 9 people sign up?

If so, are we cutting it close by having a 1-week deadline after the sign up (2 weeks with the grace period) or is this more than enough time?

Not sure if I'll sign up, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I already know some that I want to create if I am able to sign up.

Reason for mentioning timeline: We won't know the final number of people signing up until Jan. 14 and the deadline to get them to the wrangler is the 21st or 28th. This will be my first tiime working on matchboxes so maybe I'm over concerned.

nycfem

11-25-2022 09:01 AM

If anyone is interested, let me know and I can text you a photo I took of all the matchboxes I sent out for the last time we did this project.

UPDATE ON ME....

I have recently experienced some serious health issues, one being: losing my vision in left eye. Other eye is blurred, double & triple. It is part of an auto immune disorder (very rare) that affects my arteries (inflaming them) and is on artery that supplies eye nerves....confirmed by a biopsy of the left temporal artery.

This TA is really rare, dependent on how long went undiagnosed & untreated (MY CASE was 16 days of severe, relentless HA's that caused this to exacerbate. NOW I just got with a specialist, getting pre auth for a new med to treat TA, will be IV.

Prognosis, losing vision, seizures,, strokes. I am worried about my vision. SO, 30 of 41 cases documented, 27% lived only 3.7 yrs post diagnosis. THIS! IS! SOME SERIOUS! SHIT!

I wanted to lose myself in simple, uncomplicated goodness of crafts, choosing post secrets & mini matchboxes, with November/Dec/January signups, projects, mailbacks. (My concentration is a challenge. (this is so serious my wife is resigning end of December to be with me, we are going to take our camper & travel as much as we can!

So, let me humbly say I am sorry I got in a "rush" & didn't think timelines through. I just seriously need this right now! Gemme is being a real sweetheart, posting for me. I am hoping this post is "clear".

I will be flexible with timelines as I want LOTS OF PEEPS to join these. These are 2 of our most popular & fun ones.

Gimme a minute...will be back.

This diagnosis was just dumped on me last Friday, and I dwelled on my course of action before I told my wife & kids. This happened yesterday after our beautiful day with them.

My emotions, feelings, sentiments, & thoughts are all over the place....merry go round...STOP...let me off.

Being clay, I will face this head on, make TA MY BITCH, & once again overcome the odds! though I AM scared shitless

Thanks for letting me try to make things clearer & reading all of this...much love everyone..I just wanna craft!!!

clay said that the deadline can be adjusted but if you are interested, I would start on the matchboxes ASAP. As a beginner, it would be advantageous to do a simple design.

Not sure if I'll sign up, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I already know some that I want to create if I am able to sign up.

No worries; we got you, girl!!!

I say go for it. These are a super fun project.

Gemme

11-25-2022 09:06 PM

Anyone interested in the matchbox project should probably get a head start on ordering your boxes unless you already have some.

Is there a theme for match boxes??

I was giving "free reign"...only parameters are "mini size", and fill with some FUN GOODNESS!!! Dates etc..otherwise medium of one's choice....HAVE FUN!!!!!

nina03

11-27-2022 03:11 PM

I'm thinking about doing origami match boxes, so I can use different papers and colors. Alternatively, I found some on Amazon that are just plain brown boxes that can be painted or decorated.

ETA: Theme is "ENERGY".......:sunglass:

clay	11-27-2022 05:28 PM

Patience with me, please...

Challenging to reasoning out dates, putting sign up list up, etc...

BUT: Loosely...whole month of DECEMBER 2022 will be our Post Secret Project....THEME: Dark & darker....(have by to me byDecember 31st...mail out within a week.

February whole month will be geared to our MINI MATCHBOX Project, whose theme is: ENERGY...interpretative to individuals.

Mail back to me by February 28th, will go out within a week.

You can get started on any or both....gives 2 months plus, basically.
Working on trying to write up parameters...sorry everyone.

Wait, wait, wait - now we have a theme? I already came up with my idea and started collecting stuff. :( I think it's too late to change the parameters. Just my .02 . . .

I also don’t like a theme for the match boxes. I started planning mine out and also would enjoy being able to do different ones. I don’t know what do others think?

Orema

11-28-2022 11:40 AM

I'm open to a free-for-all or the energy theme creations.

Because the month of February is for the match box creations, I keep returning to "hearts," but I can make it work since it's interpretative to individuals. Those are the three magic words for me to make my ideas work for this project.

I had to cut and paste to make this work. For some reason I couldn’t quote from nycfem’s post without losing most of the text. Maybe it has something to do with the asterisks? Go figger.
