I messaged Cara and Breathless (partnered w/surferboi) and said, "Yo wassup?" (paraphrasing).

I have not heard back from breathless/surferboi. I will write again and give the option that it could be mailed out on Saturday because I heard back from cara and that is when she will be mailing me her project (she had forgotten about doing the project). I will report back.

Breathless agreed to send out hers and soup surfer boys to me Saturday as well. Don't you love voice to post? I think I will leave this uncorrected just for kicks!

So who has an idea for the next project? And let's get this rule going again as of now (excluding the postsecret project since that fell into the grey area of the transition between 2015-2016)

"For 2016, the rule is if one of us is more than a week late or drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2017. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project."

Maybe a Valentine's exchange?
I am quite fond of the artist trading cards, I've missed out on that one the last time, or even an idea encouraging spring? (Yes I'm feeling wintered -out..lol another idea, that I have thought about is.. I love music, totally wrapped up in all kinds of music in every moment of my day, and when I meet new friends and hear what they are listening to, I feel like my collection of artists tends to expand, curious what everyone else listens to? Could we make that into some sort of a project, share your favourites of all time in kind of a complation of sorts? Burn to disk or card and share? ?

Hi Clay, thanks for bringing that issue up. Yes, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules.

Breathless, thanks for all your great ideas. I always enjoy valentine themes whether it is Card otherwise. I am also a fan of ATC's. I am less interested in burning a CD.

I also love doing inchies (ATCs that are 1" x 1") or microinchies (.5" x .5").

I like the idea of ATCs, including inchies and microinchies. Valentine's isn't very far away, so it would have to be a quick one. I do like the idea of making a mixtape (on CD) for everyone, although I think I would like a little more flexibility than just my favorites of all time. I really used to enjoy making those for people, and it's been a long time since I did one, but I always made them around a theme. It was fun making the covers for the jewel boxes too, although I think including the jewel boxes for an exchange would be really bulky and problematic - they often seem to get broken in the mail. There's no reason we couldn't still include the covers, though.

May I inquire exactly what are artist trading cards, and where would one get them!

You DO realize that I have very short, fat fingers right?

Me thinks you are a tad bit of a craft sadist.

:eyebrow:

You don't get them. You make them.



My vote is yes to a music themed project but NOT for exchanging cds/dvds/sim cards/memory sticks/etc.

I love the ATCs that we've done in the past and look forward to more. Inchies would be great and I'd be up for giving the micros a try as long as no one expects much (not just because it won't fit but because...as I mentioned...I have fat fingers and they get in the way).

It's too late for a Valentine Day project but maybe someone might be willing to carry the theme over.

Any word on the remaining secrets, nyc?
