How would everyone feel about me sending the ones you made for GeorgiaMa'am to her?? She'd still be on the naughty list for 6 months (that makes me sad). I haven't sealed the envelopes yet...I'm taking that as a sign from the universe that I wasn't done with the envelopes yet. If you'd rather have the one you made for GeorgiaMa'am sent back to you, please PM me ASAP. I'm sending them out tomorrow about noon and I won't seal them until then. GeorgiaMa'am, can you please PM me your address? |
Yes! Please send them to Georgia Ma'am!
Also, I think that we, as a community, get to decide when the rules need to be flexed for extenuating circumstances. I, for one, really think that Georgia Ma'am shouldn't be on the naughty list for six months when she was so sick. I am all for giving grace in challenging moments, and Georgia Ma'am has had an extremely difficult year altogether. We can choose kindness in this moment in every way, both by sending her the art that was meant for her, and by letting her choose to join the next project if she has the physical and emotional capacity to do so. We have chosen to give extra time in the past when people were past the deadline due to extreme weather, and I think that this falls under the same kind of "circumstances beyond our control" clause. |

I work my recovery program diligently and I learn acceptance, forgiveness, grace and so many other things. I feel the kindness and love in your post. On another note, I love your idea of the recipe cards!!! |
Thanks for the update.
By all means, please send mine on to GeorgiaMa'am!! I am amenable to "no time out" for her...she has had a really challenging year....with an aging, dementia mother, lost her doggy, and her partner of 17years!! NONE of those are of her own volition...so, yes, "circumstances beyond her cntrol! |

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes and support. You all are very generous about the offer for a reprieve from the naughty list, and I will gratefully accept whatever everyone decides. I love working on our projects and receiving everyone else's work. I just don't want anyone to feel slighted, because I think sometimes we all have had circumstances that are overwhelming and out of our control.
I did get a chance to take pictures of the projects I made before they were lost, and if I have your phone number I have already or will shortly send you a pic of the one I made for you. I know it's not the same as having the actual piece, but if you would like your pic and haven't gotten one from me in the next couple of hours or so, please PM me your phone number and I will text it to you. (((Hugs everyone))) |
Delivered!
According to USPS Tracking everyone except Nina03 got their pacakages today. Nina03, yours will be delivered tomorrow or Wednesday.
Are we ready to start the next project? Also should we have a conversation about amending the rules for people being late with their projects? Thanks GeorgiaMa'am for the picture of the zentangle! |
Got my package yesterday! Thank you for the fun project!!
I love each of the zentangles I did get!!! I LOVE them! Thank you, GeorgiaMa'am for the pic of the one you made me!! I LOVE it!!! |
Wow! I got my package of projects and all I could say as I looked at each one was "Wow!!!" They are all so amazing. Now I'm inspired to see how I can better incorporate color into my Zentangles. I've never quite known how to begin, but now I want to move on. Thank you everybody for sending them to me, and for making them for me.
|
I got my package yesterday and they were beautiful! Thank you everyone for sharing your art.
I'd volunteered to wrangle the next one, and my suggestion was decorated recipe cards. I'm also open to any other ideas. For a timeline say a month from the close of sign up? Also, in terms of the naughty list, I feel like the death of a close family member, hospitalization, or severe weather that closes down the post office all count as "out of someone's control." There are probably things I'm missing, but those should all be on the list. As for asking for that space to miss or be late, I think that we are all adults and it should just be the honor system. Nobody should have to prove what they're saying. I'm interested in everyone else's thoughts. I like this crafty community so much. |

I STILL have high eye pressure, contributes to blindness (my vision is 20/60 ish so NO BUENO) and I use eyedrops 4 times a day, so those irritate my eyes to a degree. Will look on from afar, crafters! |

I'd rather pick another project than have you unable to participate. How about any of these as themes?? Water (oceans, lakes, rivers, beaches, fish, whatever tickles you) Home Transitions Flowers/ trees anything that grows in the summer Let's do the size as big as 8.5 × 11, and no smaller than 5×5. Must be flat, but can be decorated any way you want. Do any of those themes sound good to everyone? It's really important to me that everyone is included who wants to be. |
Quote:
An 8.5x11 project substrate would be ideal. AND, everyone knows how much I love anything to do with beaches, dolphins, etc...:) Freeform mediums are even better for me (I LOVE the paint chip projects, and using colors). With the wide parameters, I think I can make something, for sure! Thanks! See how everyone else feels.....get input!!! I want everyone else to want to participate as well! |
Quote:
Is this going to be a drawing or just free form do whatever you want as long as the theme is there? |
Quote:
love the idea of a free for all in terms of what people make. This is a chance to go crazy as long as it's between 5x5 and 8.5x11 and flat. Also, please seal your glitter well! How much time should we give for a sign up deadline? |
Quote:
FYI: Want to make sure no 3D type embellishments, etc...as those would be hard to mail back, require more special packaging for returns ($$).....surface has to be flat!!! Typically we allow 1 week for signups. 4 weeks to complete project date to have back to you and a 1 week "extra" before on naughty list. Thanks, nina03!! |
Yay! I received mine last week. I love how we all have different ideas! My friends are just excited to see the finished art pieces. I carry them around for a week.
I'm loving the new idea, I promise to keep it flat, I'm thinking fabrics??? |
For some reason, I didn't have access to the site for a few days so pardon my delay in saying that the projects were nothing short of stunning. Georgia, the one you showed me is adorable! I love them all.
As for the current project on the table, Nature is great and very open as a theme and the size range of 5x5 to 8.5x11 gives us a lot of options as well. I would like to revisit the 'flat' discussion though. Nothing crazy like 3D flowers or anything but what popped in my head initially would add a wee bit of height to parts of the piece. Like a puffy sticker kind of height. Nothing that would increase volume significantly or add too much to the weight or increase $$$ investment for anyone. Would anyone have an issue with that? |

I'm thinking fabric or puffy sticker kind of height would be fine. Are we ready for sign ups? |
New Summer Project!
It's time for the new project! The theme is NATURE. Interpret that however you like.
Animals? :frog: Trees? :farmtree: Waterways? :shark: Fishies? :fishswim: Birds? :cluck: All of it is good, and anything else you can think of that fits the theme. Size range is 5x5 up to 8.5x11. Keep it relatively flat, think no fatter than puffy stickers, or fabric. Use any medium you want. Paint, collage, fabric art, embroidery, drawing, do whatever you are inspired to do. Contain your glitter in some fashion, please. Send $10 with your projects for shipping. Sign ups open right now, and close in one week, by the end of the day on 6/27/23. Projects due on 7/25/23, and late if not here by the end of the day on 8/1/23. 1. Nina03 2. Clay 3. 4. 5. 6. |
If someone could please add me to this project I would greatly appreciate it. I’m so bummed that I missed out on the zentangles. That is a big favorite of mine. For some reason I don’t get notifications for this thread in my email inbox. Grrr… now to be fair Clay actually sent me a text telling me about the project, but somehow I expected Clay to give me a second nudge and really baby me like clay did the project before. Thankfully, Nanners and Clay have been pushing me for this one. TBH, I can never get enough reminders from everyone. I hate private messages, but please text me to the max! It helps! As far as giving reprieves, maybe we should do a general reprieve for everyone and start from zero again? Also, thank you for not making things totally flat but more within reason. I like the flexibility.

Also can someone please PM the people that were on the naughty list and let them know they can participate again? (Assuming we all agree).

I can let CCB and Orema know. Can anyone let Firesign and softsilver know? If anyone is not OK with this plan of a reprieve for everyone at this point so that everyone can start fresh again please post by the end of tomorrow.

I've removed Clay from the list, due to health issues. Please get better soon Clay, and come back and play with us!
I've also added ottergirl, who is a dear friend of mine out in the real world, and wants to join us for this project.

They are due on 7/25/23, and late if not here by the end of the day on 8/1/23. I will send my address to each of you in the next few days. I am so excited to see what you all create.
