New project! Everyone is welcome, you do NOT need any artistic ability, just be reliable and enthusiastic -that's what we care about!
This project is limited to the first 10 people that sign up.


vi·sion board
noun
a collage of images and words representing a person's wishes or goals, intended to serve as inspiration or motivation.
"on her vision board she put a log cabin, a sailboat, a red car, and a butch femme couple dancing on a white carpet"


This is the first project of 2019, so let’s think about what we want to happen in our lives this year…the project is VISION BOARDS! Wouldn’t it be fun to get like 10 mini vision boards in the mail to inspire us to manifest our vision? Everyone will be making you one piece of art based on your vision. This may even bring new ideas to you, within your vision. So at the end, you will have pieces of art to look at and maybe expand your vision based on others ideas/images/thoughts that they used on the Vision board for you.

For examples Google images for “Vision Board”.


Parameters:

• Can be any size between 4 X 6 and 8.5 X 11
• Sign up starts at 9:00 PM CST 01-16-19 (Wednesday) and closes at 9:00 PM CST on 01-20-19 (Sunday) OR when we have 10 signed up!
• When you sign up, you must state one or more of your visions for yourself for 2019. You can edit your vision(s) until sign up closes,
• You must make one vision board for each participant based on one or more of their visions
• On the back of your project please list these things: Your name and the person’s name you made the vision board for. EXAMPLE: Made by Nanners for Gemme
• Projects are due to me by March 2nd. You have a week grace period but after that, (March 9th) your project is crumpled up and batted around by my cats 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.
• Include $7 for the wrangler with your project.
• Please, no glitter that is not sealed.

RULES AS AGREED UPON TO BE ADDED AT THE END OF EACH PROJECT:
"For 2019, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us 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 six months from the latest date that the project was supposed to be due. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting six months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project for 2018. If that is not done, then the member is welcome to participate in the thread with "thanks" and reps and thread chat but not to participate in any future projects for 2018. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. 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.

Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in 2018 and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this:

'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/21/18. I can start participating in new projects on 8/21/18. I have added myself to the list below:

1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/18, able to participate 7/28/18)
2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/21/18, able to participate 8/21/18)'

This rule must be posted in its entirety 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."

Please if you are currently timed out put yourself on the list and the dates of your time out because I am not responsible for doing that.

FSF, what do you mean by "anything to do with lab work"? Thanks.

This is going to be great. With only nine signing up and the extra days to work on the project this it's going to give me plenty of time to get creative without feeling rushed.

Yeah this is going to be fun. :)

You know nine isn't a bad idea. Sometimes I find myself getting so caught up in seeing to the wants, wishes - needs of others, I forget about my own. So I think I'm going to make a vision board for myself too. :)
