It seems quite reasonable that we should send seven dollars with future projects.
|
I agree. My package was almost $6 itself.
And our last several projects we said $7 would be the amount to send with projects. Quote:

I GOT MY PACKAGE, I GOT MY PACKAGE!!!
It's wonderful and definitely worth waiting for. It was interesting to see some common themes running throughout most, if not all, yet everyone approached the theme so differently. Everyone was so creative! And Gemme, you were so thoughtful - thank you for wrangling. I love them all, I really do. Thank you everyone. |

Upcoming projects.....wrangled by me
I will wrangle 2 simpler projects for rest of year.
FIRST: a post secrets project...flavor dark/dark(er)....:) SECOND: a MINI MATCHBOX of Goodness..... What you crafty peeps think?? Have parameters being drawn up...both projects will start soon....and both be done & returned by 3rd week of December See you all soon |
I just got my package out of the mailbox and I'm having all the feelings. Everything is so beautiful. Clay, your note was so kind, it made me cry (in the best way). Thank you all so much for these beautiful little gems. I'm excited to do the next one.

I’d be in for both if we had them due by the end of January. December is just too crazy for me. And the matchboxes in particular take a long time. Though I love them!

I've never done the match boxes, but I'm intrigued. Will there be parameters for these?
|
Not sure about the matchbox project yet, I'll have to think on that but if the deadline is going to be end of January I'm up for the post secret project for sure.

clay asked me to post the parameters as posting in general is getting tough. Above are the parameters for both projects. I'll set up a sign up sheet and will post some links for those who are not familiar with these projects. These are tried and true projects. The Post Secrets project is very simple and easy but the matchbox project takes more time and thought. They are both super fun, though.
Stay tuned! |

Do we create a matchbox for each person and we'll mail the wrangler at least 8 boxes if 9 people sign up?Not sure if I'll sign up, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I already know some that I want to create if I am able to sign up. Reason for mentioning timeline: We won't know the final number of people signing up until Jan. 14 and the deadline to get them to the wrangler is the 21st or 28th. This will be my first tiime working on matchboxes so maybe I'm over concerned. |
If anyone is interested, let me know and I can text you a photo I took of all the matchboxes I sent out for the last time we did this project.

UPDATE ON ME....
I have recently experienced some serious health issues, one being: losing my vision in left eye. Other eye is blurred, double & triple. It is part of an auto immune disorder (very rare) that affects my arteries (inflaming them) and is on artery that supplies eye nerves....confirmed by a biopsy of the left temporal artery.
This TA is really rare, dependent on how long went undiagnosed & untreated (MY CASE was 16 days of severe, relentless HA's that caused this to exacerbate. NOW I just got with a specialist, getting pre auth for a new med to treat TA, will be IV. Prognosis, losing vision, seizures,, strokes. I am worried about my vision. SO, 30 of 41 cases documented, 27% lived only 3.7 yrs post diagnosis. THIS! IS! SOME SERIOUS! SHIT! I wanted to lose myself in simple, uncomplicated goodness of crafts, choosing post secrets & mini matchboxes, with November/Dec/January signups, projects, mailbacks. (My concentration is a challenge. (this is so serious my wife is resigning end of December to be with me, we are going to take our camper & travel as much as we can! So, let me humbly say I am sorry I got in a "rush" & didn't think timelines through. I just seriously need this right now! Gemme is being a real sweetheart, posting for me. I am hoping this post is "clear". I will be flexible with timelines as I want LOTS OF PEEPS to join these. These are 2 of our most popular & fun ones. Gimme a minute...will be back. This diagnosis was just dumped on me last Friday, and I dwelled on my course of action before I told my wife & kids. This happened yesterday after our beautiful day with them. My emotions, feelings, sentiments, & thoughts are all over the place....merry go round...STOP...let me off. Being clay, I will face this head on, make TA MY BITCH, & once again overcome the odds! though I AM scared shitless Thanks for letting me try to make things clearer & reading all of this...much love everyone..I just wanna craft!!! |

I say go for it. These are a super fun project. |
Anyone interested in the matchbox project should probably get a head start on ordering your boxes unless you already have some.
