Welcome, Tallulah!

We're getting close to finishing a current project so it won't be long before someone will step to up to wrangle the next project. Feel free to scroll back and get a feel for how things run in here and, if you'd like, feel free to join the next project. We welcome new art!

FOUR MORE DAYS TO MAIL OUT!!!!!!

I'm so excited! I spent a big part of yesterday playing around with new techniques for fun and I think I'm going to switch some cards out because of how good they came out. I even overheated my heat gun in the process.

:blink:

Monday's the big day!

As I mentioned, if Monday rolls around and you are not completely done, MAIL THEM ANYWAY. I'll make it work. You all should have received my addy last night.

3. CCB
4. Breathless
5. Bèsame*
6. GeorgiaMa'am
7. Katniss
8. clay

All typical rules are in play:

#1. "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. And for the purposes of clarification, 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."

#2. Please add $5 for repackaging and postage. I'll send my address to you all later in the month.

#3. Make 7 pairings (or series, if you are so inclined) of any of the following: traditional 2.5x3.5 ATCs, rinchies, twinchies, inchies, minis or micros or a combination thereof.

#4. The theme is love and/or music. It's your interpretation, so be as literal or abstract as you want to be. Any materials are accepted as long as they don't tick and go boom.

#5. The deadline is etched in stone this time: February 29th. Your goodies MUST be postmarked by this date. It's a Monday. Plan accordingly. Those who comply will receive a surprise in their packages. Those who don't will be sad, because not only will they miss out on the surprise, they will be susceptible to rule #1.

Yes, I've made note of the deadline multiple times. Yes, this is the one thing I will be absolutely adamant about in this round. Come Hell or high water, that postmark should say Feb. 29, 2016.

If the 29th comes around and you are not finished, mail them anyway. I'll go Tim Gunn and make it work.
Any questions????

Bèsame* 02-25-2016 08:44 AM
Its deadline count down. I have little pieces everywhere! I'm working everyday till then, and I'm squeezing in Windows of time to work.

I'm going to mail myself several letters that day, I want that postmark. I'm not sure what I will do with it just yet. I'm thinking it will be a great piece to use!

candy_coated_bitch 02-25-2016 01:08 PM
I am having a hard time with this one. I will persevere but only by the skin of my teeth. I have a whole weekend, right? *fingers crossed *

How about postcards? Save yourself some money in the process of getting those postmarks.

You do! You are always so super creative and, like I said, if it just doesn't come together, send what you do have. It's not as bad as you think.

candy_coated_bitch 02-28-2016 11:36 PM
It is with my sincerest apology that I have to say I need to drop out of the project. I know what that means as far as my lack of participation the rest of the year. And i am sorry to everyone who worked hard and wont get a project from me. I'm going through a really tough time and I just wont have anything to send tomorrow. Sorry again.

nycfem 02-29-2016 06:09 AM
Hey, CCB, you have a one week window of lateness to send something if you read the rules, so not so quick, my tough sister- this may be just what you need to stay with us doing projects for 2016. Send us blank cards if you need to, just make sure you get the dimensions right.

I refuse to accept this. Send me what you have done so far, no matter how finished or unfinished it is. I can't go 9 months without crafty goodness from you. I shan't!

That would be an injustice to us all (but I'm mostly thinking of myself here).

This is true. This project was built around today's date especially but the thread rules still remain.

Today is the mail out date, everyone! For those projects I get from all of you with the postmark showing today's date, you will receive something extra special. You may love it, hate it or being ambivalent about it but it's from me to you as a thank you for putting everything together with a slightly shortened time frame, so take from it what you will.

It doesn't have to be museum worthy art, but it should be from YOU....beauty, warts and everything in between.

Make SURE your package has today's postmark when you send it out.

I'm very excited to see what everyone has done (including CCB!)!!!

:)

nycfem 02-29-2016 06:44 AM
Just clarifying my own statement: CCB, you have within one week from today's date for Jim to receive your package.

Who's Jim?

:blink:

Is someone using a voice command? lol

clay 02-29-2016 07:04 AM
Whoohoo....mine are all neatly bundled & will be going out this morning after my appointment I have!!! I am so excited to see what everyone has done....:)...

I think nycfem meant "GEMME" and perhaps autocorrect changed it to JIM. Or maybe she was being silly with us...she does that ya know...to see who is on their toes....anyway, I love waiting for mail from Jim, Gemme ,jen, etc etc and all the other crafters....:)

Really? Blank cards?

candy_coated_bitch 02-29-2016 01:15 PM
I will see what I can out together in the next couple days. Jim was an autocorrect on my phone lol. I have no idea what I was trying to say. I will soldier on pen pals.

clay 02-29-2016 01:43 PM
Mine are postmarked and will go out in today's mail...said 3 to 7 business days to reach you Gemme!!!

I am so excited to get returns...:).

I was happy to be able to get these done having had major abd. surgery 4 weeks ago today....:)......I was determined...:)

OK, maybe an exaggeration there, but you know how it is, once you start, you sometimes get into it. Just trying to be encouraging :-) .

candy_coated_bitch 02-29-2016 04:47 PM
Update: I put a project together that is simple but cute and that I don't feel embarrassed to send off to you guys. I'm going to let it dry overnight and send it out tomorrow. Thanks for not letting me give up! Especially Gemme. And sorry it wont gave the special postmark.

GeorgiaMa'am 02-29-2016 07:21 PM
Hello all,

I'm very sorry to have to say that I couldn't mail my project today. I have several reasons, but no excuse. I've had an extremely difficult month medically. However, I know other people have problems and deadlines and important things to do, so that's not an excuse, just an explanation.

As you all are a generous bunch of folks, I hope you will accept mine late. I plan to mail them out by Friday. Again, I apologize, especially to Gemme.

Georgia

Excellent news!!!!

The important things are that you are getting something out, you'll be able to participate going forward and that you are happy with what you are sending out.

I look forward to seeing what you came up with.

Happy dance!

:danceparty:

As long as they get to me within a week from today, you will be okay. Later than that and the lateness rule kicks in. Life gets in the way sometimes but if you can get it out sooner or send it overnight or two day on Friday, please do.

I hope you feel better soon.


All,

Any projects that arrive after Monday, March 7th will be officially late and that member will not be able to participate in future projects for the remainder of the year.

nycfem 02-29-2016 08:10 PM
Sorry to hear you've had a really hard month. Sending hugs and encouragement, because as long as Gemme receives it by Monday March 7th you are good to go. You got this, GeorgiaMa'am!!!:rrose:
