HAVE! FUN! DO NOT SWEAT SMALL STUFF!!!
I totally dropped the ball on posting in here! Sorry, end of year work stuff plus I had to rewrite the Constitution and explain to a monster corporation why I deserve a raise for 2023.

I kinda feel like I could write collegiate grants now.

:fastdraq:

Anyway, there's the fine print with the stuff about if someone bails, etc.
I can add that in when I have more focus.

So, can anyone tell me more about the the post secret one? I know what post secret is, but these won't actually be anonymous. How have people done this one in the past? Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful.

These can be anonymous if you want, or not - you can choose to sign your screen name to them if you want to. But for them to be anonymous, all you have to do is not sign them. It helps that we have at least 9 people participating. Also, technically, the wrangler will know who wrote which secret(s).

As I recall, this is how it works. nycfem may remember more, as she was the first person who came up with the idea and she has wrangled it several times.

Like Georgia said, only the wrangler knows who sent the secrets in, if not signed...and repackages with 8 others to send back out.

It is discreet...I keeps things to myself....and we have had them be anonymous in past...

Use a postcard or card stock that is postcard size....embellish, decorate, write how you wish....your secrets are safe with me (besides I will forget most of them anyway) lol...

This is one of the more fun projects we all love!! The uniqueness of them will astound you!!

The only way an unsigned post secret card would be 'out'ed so to speak is if everyone else signed theirs and then, process of elimination kicks in. There are usually a few that don't, though.

Plain matchboxes
 
Hi All, for the folks doing the matchbox project, I just found a pack of 50 plain white boxes for 14.50 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GXCV5V2...roduct_details
I know that is way more than I will need, but who knows what other project I may use them for down the road?

clay 12-07-2022 08:57 AM
ALL participants....
 
Please be sure to include your return address so I may send the finished goodies back to you. Just send it along with your things, $7 postage, etc and THANKS!

I’m starting to panic about the matchboxes. I feel like there are so many to do! Can someone talk me off the ledge?

I started to have that feeling too, the more people signed up, but then I just decided to simplify my idea a little bit. Besides, the more the merrier! We can do this CCB!

Yes to both but if we're being honest, this is your process. You always spin out beforehand and then turn out something super fantastic so I think you actually need a bit of panic to make it work somehow. Maybe it gets the creative juices flowing?

Having said that, you have exactly 60 days to get 9 completed boxes in clay's greedy little hands. Nine! That's more than enough time if you don't procrastinate. You've previously done more in a round and survived. And you did very well, if memory serves me.

Figure out what you are going to do and figure out how much time it will take to get there and then subtract mailing time from 60 days and that number will be divided by the amount of work you will need to accomplish. That way, you know EXACTLY how much time to put in each day to get it all done. Then you complete the amount of work you planned out each day. If you get on a roll and work longer, great, but you can't bail or cut the day short.

That will ensure not only you get everything done on time but I bet you wind up finishing early and can put your feet up while some of us do the panic dance at the last moment.

So, for me, I would give 5 days of travel so that leaves 55 days from today on, which would be 6 days of work on EACH box plus one day for any adhesive/sealant drying or extra touches to dry and getting everything together.

See? Easy peasy.

DONE.

Gemme, please, pretty please come and organize my life and job? I need someone to run herd on my to-do list just like you broke down the time-line for the matchbox project.

candy_coated_bitch 12-08-2022 11:36 AM
Thank you all!!! I’m feeling a bit better.

I’ve thought about it and the matchboxes really aren’t do-able for me right now. Better to bow out now. I’ve just got way too much going on around the holidays.

I'm going to need a retainer and my travel covered but I'm totally down.

I'm apparently on a roll this week. I spent three hours with a customer and her daughter in crisis a couple of days ago and did a damn good job of calming everyone down, getting the immediate stuff that needed to be taken care of done, educating her on how to parent her child in this situation (adult child and I know both of them well, for reference) and sending them off with a plan to not be at one another's throats while they deal with the aftermath of what's going on with them. They have verrry different processing methods and neither was listening to the other.

I am EXCELLENT with other people's lives; it's just my own that I run into the ditch.

I'm sorry to hear that we won't get to see some of your crafty goodness but it's good to do it now than later, when you'd be put in craft jail.

That makes 8 boxes everyone will need to complete.

Hi Crafty Peeps,

I'm sorry, but I'm confused on the due dates for the projects. Several different dates were floated around. What dates are the PostSecrets and Matchbox projects due to clay? Thanks.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 08:45 PM.
