So I got a bunch of those blank postcards and am making my own. I'm realizing that the art doesn't really resemble a holiday. It's just the secret that has to be holiday themed, right?

ETA: I guess I could make them Halloween-ish if need be

You can interpret it any way you like.

This is a winter holiday post secret round wrangled by moi. Winter holiday including a choice of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas / Hanukah, etc. The secret could be anything related to your experiences or feelings about the holiday(s), past, present, or future. To look at examples, google images for "postsecret Halloween" or "postsecret Thanksgiving" (etc.). Lots of room for creativity! Make at least 1 for each person. That translates to: Include at least 12 postcards in the package you mail to me.

Please include 5$ with your project for my mailing costs. Do NOT send me a package that requires signature upon delivery.

Projects are due to me by Nov. 30th. You have a week grace period but after that, your project turns into firewood and you don't get your package of projects that others made you. You also won't be able to participate again for 6 months.

You can sign your name on your postsecret postcards or keep them anonymous. You can designate who you want to receive each card, or let me decide. Special points to anyone who let's me decide. Because that's fun! If you do want a specific person to get the card, write their name on the back of the card or put it in a little plastic bag labeled with "To so-and-so."

You can make all your postcards the same or all different. Postcard size can be whatever, just don't do anything crazy or heavy.

Please don't send me anything from a smoking home, perfumey, or with unsealed glitter

Re-reading nyc's directions and bolding/underlining the germane part, I'd say the crux of it is the secret itself. The artwork would be bonus deliciousness. Go on with yer bad self, missy miss.

Awesome, thanks you two! I figured it was like a post card one might buy--the front may not exactly match the secret.

Well... dunno if I'll be doing it right but at least it'll be fun for me to make and (hopefully) amusing to others! :p

I plan on doing lots of deliciousness....we have over a month to be creative!!!

I have ideas!.....and secrets....

Katzchen, your cards have been received. Not only were the cards touching and awesome looking, but you:

-remembered to include a five-dollar bill (NO CHECKS, please)

-did not require a signature for delivery

In other words, we are off to a great start! Looking forward to receiving others' cards :)

hee hee hee, that's too cute! Time slips by sooooo quickly, it really does! There's still a few weeks yet to go, right???

Thanks for letting me sit in on this round..... I've wanted to for years, things in life happened that kept me from joining, but I've always wanted to do the Post Secret round.

I hope you all enjoy mine and I look forward to seeing everyone's post cards! :)

I have an idea! And it's solid!

My issue always lies in the execution of said solid idea.

There are no food catastrophes or dirty little secrets that came out at a holiday meal? Ever?

How about a dining out experience during a holiday?

Shopping drama?

Food coloring messes?

Cookie crumbling situations?

*realizes that the majority of my thoughts involve food....time for breakie

Yeah! I'm not sure about the "secret" element. Meh! I ain't sweating it! :praying: :p

I just figured out how to change the dye cartridges in my printer so went a little clip art overboard crazy today. Tomorrow is going to be fun because finally with all the drudge work out of the way now it's all about assembly and I always like that part best. I'm wondering how everyone else is doing, which stage you're at and how close to being done. Someone already has theirs finished and in the hands of the wrangler – impressive, I'm marveling at that quick turn around time.

I've gotten seven cards made and still zero secrets lol. Still waiting for some to come to me.

Oh, my secret has been found, but putting it together is a very 'holiday' process. I can work on it anywhere for now. Image, waiting for my oil change this am. Hmmmmm, makes you wonder , huh?

And Mister Blaze, he is almost finished and so fitting of him.

Oh, still lots of work to be done. I'm back to work after being on glorious vacation. So process will slow down. I'm so happy there is so much time to create :)

I 💜 You, NYC!

Okay mandatory stuff is done, always a relief. I'm finishing up extras now. Should be ready to mail soon but any speed bumps along the way and at least I'll have what I committed to finished, ready to ship and in the mail on time.

After this current project is completed does anyone have any thoughts as to what the next project might be?

Usually we wait til one project is done and been received before we think of doing another...gets way too confusing....but stick around....but we may not do anything else til after first of year as several have way too much else on their plates, folks travelling, etc....
