Where is everyone else at with their's?

purepisces?

Tommi?

softness?

everyone?

I guess in the end this was a bad idea, because it was drawn out so long. Well I suppose as ideas go sometimes they sound alot better in one's head. My apologies. I am sure the next one will be much smoother and alot more fun.

Me? I'm in Irvine.:carride:

do we ever do a specific craft? Like, I am sorely out of bookmarks and thought that would be a great project for the group! I cant wrangle yet...too busy and disorganized and new...but soon...

Yes and no. We've specifically done postcard art, which was fantastic. I love the PostSecrets idea and we did one of those and it turned out very well. Bookmarks would be a lovely idea, I think. When you are ready to wrangle, just say so!

I too am waiting for the next Wrangler to step on up.

Also, reminding those that offered to help make the Reunion Raffle Prize bags. You can send them to me as soon as finished.Less than a hundred days now..

Some updates have been made in the Raffle Prize list, and it is still growing.
Hint Hint : ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DESIGN some original glittery, stickered, glitzy or plain brown mini-bags to hold raffle tickets..I will be adding more to the list today.

Click on Raffle Link below

Thanks for the reminder, Tommi. I should have them out to you in mid-to-late June.

If no one else has a specific idea that they are itching to suggest, I'll throw my hat in the ring for wrangler for the next round. I enjoy the process and you all never cease to surprise and delight me.

It's not a bad idea. Life flows up and down and sometimes our groups are small and sometimes they are large. Don't take the participation of us personally. Life just sometimes gets in the way.

Well, I'm glad it's a small group this time, because I am just working on mine today! I can't believe the deadline is tomorrow. I always wait until the last minute, but I think I really pushed it too far this time. But, I have every intention of being done by the end of the day tomorrow. So, they might be going out in the mail on the 18th.

Jake - I don't think this round was any more drawn out than they normally are. It was an interesting idea, although, I don't know that I'm going to be able to work in the 3D element. I guess I'll know soon enough.

Ohhh, Gemme ... I'm excited to see what you have in mind for the next round!

I LOVE the idea of doing bookmarks! I am normally reading at least three books at once ... and no matter how many bookmarks I buy (and I do buy them often) it seems that more often than not, I resort to using Post It notes & bits of paper. This would be a great project.

Jake, dear one, I think this project sounded fun! I am excited about working on it and if i get this dang garden tilled (not by me!) and my rooms cleared out, I will work on them tonight and get them out tomorrow. I have your ady from a postcard list. mmm...who else is doing this? I need to make 4, right?

I have a favor to ask of the Gemme-ster. I started to wrangle a project on the hyphen site but really would like to instead move entirely over here (same people on the thread here anyway, plus this site has become my home). Anyway, lemmee, know Gemmekins, whether I could do this next round so as to hopefully re-start the wrangling of that project here.

Lunch bag or smaller...Small,just hold loose tickets.

Decoration up to creativity. Just needs to include Raffle gift,name of person donating it, number on the list, and bag designer name.

Tommi 05-16-2010 11:01 PM

Any Bag, any way you like

The people who signed up (see list above) are going to do their own thing..

Little gift bags with handles (like the kind you stuff with tissue and a present), little lunch bags, any way or color you like. Variety is the spice of life.. Someone will pull a winning ticket from each bag on Sat. night.

Picture this at the Reunion.. Long draped tables with the donations on display, and adjacent to each one is the "Ticket Holder" =bag. People will put 1/2 the ticket and keep the other with the number.

The Bag, has the identification of who donated the item, and what it is, plus the # from the list. Whatever you like: write with a marker, sticky letters, type the info and glue it on..glitter, stickers, or ...whatever the imagaination comes up with.

Jake - and everyone on this project - I am REALLY sorry, but I don't think I'm going to be able to get mine mailed out until Thursday. Will that be ok?

I can always mail them out individually so that Jake doesn't have to hold up mailing out the work.

As "They" say...**it happens

Sorry: Mine are not dry, thus they are going out late too.Better late than dropping out

Slacker.

*grin*

I actually am amused that, for once, I am not the one rushing around at the deadline to get things done and out. It feels weird, to be honest. :blink:

I did not get mine into the mail today, though they are finished, dry and ready to be packed up. My errands ran long and I ran into to some issues with packaging them.

*sigh*

I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and send them out individually because in my test run (My housemate used to work for the PO and suggested when sending things out to make a "test run". I package everything up and toss it around a little bit and then bring it to the dogs. If after my manhandling and the dogs sniffing and pushing and pouncing on it, it survives, great. If not, I need to rethink my packaging.), my samples did *not* survive. If they don't survive me and the dogs, then they definitely won't survive two separate mailings.

So, if everyone....Jake, pure, Tommi, softness...is okay with it, I think I'll just pack each one individually in one of those "if it fits, it ships" boxes and send them out with an abundance of bubble wrap. It will be more expensive, but I don't see another way to package them so that they will make it in one piece.

I think if it were awkward or delicate it could work, but each piece is not only delicate but a bit awkward and weirdly shaped. Double whammy. :blink:

Ohhh, I missed this earlier!

It's most definitely okay with me! :cheesy:

Now that everyone is finished and/or finishing up and sending and/or getting ready to send their goodies out from Jake's round, start thinking about what you like and maybe...next week?...let us know. Sound good?

Pure? Diva? Ami? Everyone???

Bueller? Bueller?

I happen to know what this project is and I think it's a fabulous, intense theme. Plus, I would love to have more time to work on it!
