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

Fantastic news!!!

I'm so glad you didn't give up.

Penpallers, I know a few of us have struggled this month for a variety of reasons and real life has gotten into the way for some of us as well. Please do whatever you can to make sure your projects get to me on or before Monday, March 7th. Guaranteed US mail, UPS, FedEx, carrier pigeon....whatever it takes....

If they don't, I will wait for all projects to arrive and send out the packages, but unfortunately those whose art work does not reach me by next Monday will not be able to participate in future projects for the remainder of the year. I was very adamant about the date requirement from the start of this round so this should not be a surprise, especially since we've had the tardy rule in effect for some time now. I'm crossing my fingers, toes and eyeballs that everyone's work will get to me on time. This is a great project and I look forward to seeing everyone's goodies.

PS the $5 is coming separately.

No worries. A few have said that.

I boxed my cards up Sunday to get in the mail on Monday....I came online to get your address and saw the post from CCB. So I took a set out of my box. And then I saw her get a quick turn around, so that extra set went out this morning. My leap year postmark should be there by tomorrow!

And....I think this is the first time I got the postage money inside the box!

That you Gemme for inspiring us all!

I didn't get a package from you today, clay.

:blink:

My mail always comes early. I had packages from Besame and Katniss in today's mail around 10ish.

I'd already received a package from nycfem also.

This is how much I love our clay.

I suited up (it's 20 degrees with up to 40 mph gusts) in my puffy jacket and my boys' snow boots that I got at Wally World and walked out into the night in my jammies.

There's one business that sometimes gets our mail, so I walked down the road to check their mail box. Like us, they have a box right at the road.

So, I opened their box and lo and behold, I found a manila package from FL. Rest easy, clay. They would have brought it to us tomorrow and it would have been straightened out in the morning but I figured why not go traipsing in the dark and break some federal laws while I'm at it?

:blink:

I was so excited to report back that I haven't even opened the package yet!

:byebye:

clay 03-02-2016 10:34 PM

I feel so special!!!!!

I would do that plus more for you, too, Gemme!!!

I was so worried it wouldn't show up & I would have to sit out rest of year......HUGE relief!!!!

YOU are amazing, Gemme!!! I <3 you......and this is but one of many reasons I love this group so much....

Yay! Now I can rest easy......appreciate your efforts my friend....:)>>>

I do have to say that the work I've seen so far has been fantastic. You all have done such interesting twists on the theme!

Besame, the little gift is adorable! I've named her Priscilla.

I have to apologize for those who've struggled with this project. I think I sucked up your usual crafty mojo because I've got craft ADHD this time and I have a lot going on with my sets. Most did one beautiful set and I've got umpteen sets with varying degrees of beauty and/or creativity.

:blink:

Oooopsie.

Anywho, so here is the updated list:

1. Gemme -done, except the bonus pieces and I'm doing those as the packages come in
2. nycfem/Jennifer-received
3. CCB-en route
4. Breathless-en route
5. Bèsame*-received
6. GeorgiaMa'am
7. Katniss-received
8. clay-received

I'm so so so excited about this project, y'all. I just can't speak on it enough.

Now I am even more excited to see what everyone has done......see what ya started now Ms. Gemme....making us drool having to wait.....:)........this was one of the most interesting & funner (is this even a word...lol) projects we have done....thanks for being such an incredible wrangler, even traipsing off into the coldest night to retrieve my misplaced package.....giving whole new meaning to "wrangler"... following up, & never giving up on any one of us my friend....

Gemme 03-03-2016 06:33 PM

Yay! Thanks for the compliment. I felt good about how they came together, amazingly enough. Thank for encouraging me not give up!!!

My cards went out today by FedEx. Gemme, you should receive them by 3pm Monday.

Thanks, everyone, for your patience and supportive words.

Excellent! I will keep my eyes peeled for the package.

Once I get Breathless' and your packages, I'll finish things up with the bonus pieces and get the ATC packages back out to you all before the end of the week; the 12th at the latest.

Gemme 03-07-2016 05:48 AM

Today's the day! I'm hoping the last of the projects comes in today. Everyone has done such lovely work thus far.
