I got my packet as well and all I loved all of the pieces.

nycfem 01-22-2017 12:20 AM

What a great package!!! Everyone came up with such cool ideas. It was a wonderful way to end the week.

A question: Besame, how did you make those cool metallic star designs? That was amazing.

A comment: Ami, it was so nice to have you part of this project. Your envelope was quite beautiful and an extra special treat!

Thanks to everyone! This was a great New Year's project!

I received my little package of encouraging words on the perfect day! Thank you all...I'm ready for another round!

My package arrived and it was lovely. Thank you to all. I would like to know who sent the yellow one, as mine had no name on it.

thank you to Jennifer for the welcome. I get busy and I introvert.

Has anyone ever heard of this? International Correspondance writing month? It is February. You write a letter a day. They even have a list of people around the world you can write to. http://incowrimo.org/

I thought about that after the fact. I did the yellow hearts.

One small mix up on my part...GeorgiaMa'am received one of her own cards back...so there is someone that didn't get one from her. Does anyone thin they may not have gotten one from her? If so, she is willing to send it to you if you can let her know.
I'm sorry for the mess up...that's what I get for dividing things up with a fever....:winky:

I have an idea for a new project....

what about face masks? Think Mardi Gras, masquerade mask (50 Shades). Of course not a real size but a scaled down version. Let me know if this subject appeals to anyone, I can put out some specifics later, if we want to do this.



Breathless 01-28-2017 12:29 AM

oh now that looks like a lot of fun!!!

This looks like fun Besame*! I'd like more details like dates, postage costs, how many we'd be making etc.

clay 01-28-2017 09:06 AM

LOVE this idea, Besame'. Great project idea.

I, too, want to know more details.....thanks!!!

Bèsame* 01-28-2017 10:45 AM

Ok, a few more details...

I'm thinking the size of your cell phone. ( as I look at my phone, I know everyone's is different, so size stats could come later)
The pic I posted looks 3D, ours could be flat, if you choose. Just cut out eyes to look mask-like.
Materials to use, paper, stickers, colors, glitter(rules will follow for glitter use), beads, buttons, what ever you wanted.
I've seen fancy masks, masks that look abstract, animal looking, etc...all kinds.
Timeframe..3 weeks or so?

This is just a general list of details...I can do more specific write up later.

Still interested???

nycfem 01-28-2017 10:53 AM

I'm interested. We did masks once before as part of decorating for a BFP reunion and they were one of the best projects ever! I'd love to do them again. I'd like to be able to use the pre-made masks from Michael's or wherever and decorate them OR homemade if the person desires (wants to save on costs, etc.). I like the cell phone size idea. I'd like if glitter has to be sealed if used because I really can't stand glitter getting over me when I open a package. I'm thinking it might be nice to have a full month to work on since they can take awhile, just a thought. I had totally forgotten about masks as a project and how much fun they were to decorate and look forward to the idea of doing them again!

candy_coated_bitch 01-28-2017 12:11 PM

Does anywhere carry small masks around the size of a cell phone you just have to decorate?

I did remember us making those masks for BFP Reunion that year! It was soooo much fun. I believe the masks were then "raffled" off & were used as table settings as well...

I am all in favor of the small (cellphone size ones) too!!

I am also not fond of glitter unless sealed somehow, like nycfem says. I hate opening something & it gets all over the place......sorry for the glitter gals. I am down so long as it is clear coated over or sealed somehow..:).

I agree a month at the least to have time as these can be detailed!!

This sounds like an incredibly fun project!!

clay 01-28-2017 01:12 PM

Definitely!!!!

Does this mean that Tommi isn't going to present an idea? If not, your idea sounds like fun and something a little outside of the box, Besame.

nycfem 01-28-2017 02:09 PM

Clay, what a great idea- Oriental Trading. They always have everything. I looked under "DIY masks" and found cool options. CCB, by cell phone sized, I think what Besame means is "half masks" -just the eyes vs. the whole face and also they couldn't get so wild that they are huge, lol. I do think any big chain local craft store would have these masks.

nycfem 01-28-2017 02:11 PM

I love "Tommi projects" too- so hopefully Tommi will be back anytime to wrangle. I think it's too late for Valentine's Day given the date, though. Unless it was a general "love themed" project or something not due by Valentine's Day!
