There is no longer a gallery NOR do we post pics of our projects. This is a special aspect, for participants.....we agreed on this several years ago, as a group! Let me know what you decide, please? Good luck! |

The reason the group created the 'craft jail' was because so many people were bailing on projects halfway through and/or were saying 'it's coming, it's coming' and nothing ever came. That's unfair to the remainder of the participants so we--as a group--designed as fair a consequence as we could think of and a short time out is really not horrible in the long run. Given that these projects are often tiny bits of our secret self that we send off to everyone, it's a very personal thing when not everyone works the projects with the same intention. I'm still salty about the book that disappeared all those years ago. I did a really adorable collage in it! clay had great suggestions and, you know, Soft....I think I might prefer the crushed project. It would have character and a story to go with it. I say send the squished ones as is along with whatever ones you complete this weekend. It would be about $30 in postage to overnight the boxes on Monday but it is what it is. I've had to pay it before when I was really behind on a project and I survived. :) |

One HAS to specifically say "NO signature required, please?" . |
Like you, I, too, have had many medical challenges during last 2 months. I was hospitalized 2 weeks....in congestive heart failure!
My vision is still GREATLY impaired, and esp left eye. That makes right eye strain harder, so I spend several intervals a day doing special eye drops, moist, warm compresses, and I have to rest my eyes more than not. I have suffered 4 falls....a concussion with last one, torn up my elbow and shins....have had 4 CT scans to ensure no brain bleeds. I have several lung nodules being monitored, so spent a whole day enduring Pulmonary Function tests, plus a 6 min walk/endurance test.... Am on HIGH DOSE steroids that wreck my body, make my face look like a basketball, plus weight gain. HOPING to get weaned off this next month! Am also on a very toxic (to lungs) med to control my Afib...so have to be constantly monitored on that! Am in Orlando (1.5 hr each way) 3 or 4 days a week! BUT I still plug away. These meds rob me of my energy & breath BUT hopefully not too many more months. These projects were born when I got all that bad news, so I just do a little here & there, as we have had ample time to do these. I am "good" for most part....just living life as best I can. Thank you all for your support/friendship/and participating, despite life's curveballs!! Quote:

“Thirding” this (since Gemme seconded it). I live in an apartment building in NYC where sigs just don’t happen and it will get sent right back to you. Thanks!

I'm so sorry about the signature required! I didn't ask for that, so I don't understand why the post office lady did that. I didn't tell her no signature required, but I thought signature was something I had to affirmatively request, not tell them not to do it! I hope that they make it to you, and don't get sent back.

Well...when it came time for me to pack up my cute little boxes, I had my drothers with that giant storm, if it would make it. And then..ahh duh, it's only going a couple of hours away. LOL. So..
I did a thing. I hand delivered them to our awesome wrangler. Such a delight to finially meet someone I have known and chatted with! Lovely wife and Clay💝 I'm ready to be a wrangler. This project was fun and got me back into the creative craft mode! Any ideas floating in your minds?? Paint chips? Zen doodle? That tri art ( what's that called Gemme), scavenger list? Mandala painting on a recycled CD?(foregoing the rock) collage art?? Think about it |

Thank you for your diligence in making sure they arrived on time!! The TripTich is the tri panel project you are talking about!! I am down for something......I just will not be able to do any thing really small, with my vision like it is! Anyone else? |
Quote:
Zen doodle sounds good too. After that I’d love to wrangle a Twinchies project. Cool that you hand delivered! I could have hand delivered mine too, went right past Clay’s city on my way to & from the cruise. I’ll be home tomorrow afternoon. |
YES! You COULD have hand delivered them, too! You two would have been welcomed!
Ohhh, I LOVE a magazine collage. Looks neat!!! I would need to do an 8x10......my sight is really bad now. Twinchies are fun BUT not one I can do now, unfortunately! Zen Doodles are fun, but again, I would have to do at least a 4x8....NOTHING SMALLER for ANY kind of projects, for me, though. Quote:

Thank you, all for being understanding and for wanting my projects anyway, but I threw them out. I was in a whirlwind of trying to get the garden stuff out the door and into the shed so I could work on everything outdoors. They were really smashed! Lol.

Clay, thanks for wrangling! Im excited to get the mail Monday! Our post office is slow so it might be Tuesday.
Besame, are we going to do the magazine collage? I think an 8 X 10 size would be great and easy (plus cheap) to mail. I want to start, LOL! |

I'm on board for the collage project. What should we do for a theme this time?
|
Quote:
Wrangler usually sets parameters, etc etc...and will ask others' ideas. Besame will be along here sometime....to get our creative juices flowing!!! |
Quote:
I remember us doing a "collage" a few years back, with "SUN" as our theme. I think we did it using paint chips, something along the size of 5x7. I just remember how cool a project it was, and some awesome things were made!!! Hope this helps. You could use bigger pieces of ripped magazine pages OR paint chips (IF we go that route) and it seem less "challenging"?? :) |
PACKAGES UPDATE
Georgia Ma'am....due to be delivered by 800pm tonight...out now for delivery
nanners//Kat//Besame//nycfem...all yours were delivered today! nina03...shows yours in transit in Wa State...hoping you get it today. Please post here so I know!! Thanks |

Mine came today, too! Thank you everybody for sharing your creativity and efforts. I enjoyed opening them so much, and I'll enjoy opening them again tomorrow!

Where did you find any pride pin? Reason I wondered is because my friend has a business selling them on Etsy 😊

The match boxes came today, and I could not have been more wowed. To say they exceeded my expectations is an understatement. They were pure magic! I felt so much love and excitement in my heart, looking at them and playing with them :-)
|
I'm stunned at the talent all y'all have! I love each matchbox and opened each one with delight!
My husbutch stood right beside my recliner and was wowed as I opened them. Now she understands how much I love doing this! Thank you Clay for wrangling and here's to the next project! :thumbsup::cheerleader: P.S. Yes, my font is larger...I had cataract surgery last fall on both eyes and now just have to wear readers...or be lazy and use larger fonts, LOL! But no more regular glasses after wearing them for 50 years. |
Quote:
AND< I am "happy" a larger font!! I am having horribly blurred vision since November with this temporal arteritis! I am on HIGH dose steroids daily, use drops for eye pressure, etc etc. SO I APPRECIATE! Good job on the "new vision". One of the side effects of this TA is losing vision (blind), hence high dose meds....:( |

I haven't disappeared or ran away. Even though I want tooooo
I'll be back later today with craft news. I'm not sure if ever one is on board with magazine/ craft paper/ fabric collage?? Seems like its gonna be the next project?? Be back later 💗💗💗 |
