How serendipitous, Bèsame*! I suggest that you, and anyone else who has special requests about colors or what-have-you, put it on the sign up sheet.

*You can make bracelets to size (see each person's sign up) or you can make them adjustable.

*Send $7 to wrangler with your project.

*Please put each person's bracelet/s in a baggie, or envelope, or include a tag on them. On each baggie (Sharpies are great for this!) or envelope or tag write your name, the name of the person it's for, and the date.

Sign ups will be open 3/29/2024.

Due date is 4/30/2024, and final date for me to receive is by 05/07/2024 or you will go on the hold list for 4 months.

I will mail out by 5/14/2024.

Remember to send me your addresses and ask for mine if you do not already have it.

Remember to include your wrist size! This is the size you want your bracelets, not the actual size of your wrist. For example, my wrist is exactly 8" around, but I put 8 1/2" below because I like my bracelets a little loose. (TIP: if you can't find a tape measure, remember a regular sheet of paper is 8 1/2 x 11. Wrap the short end around your wrist and make your best guess.)

1. GeorgiaMa'am - wrist size 8 1/2"
2. clay - wrist size 8"
3. Nycfem - 7.5 to 8
4. Besame* ...7 to 7.5
5. soft silver

Thank you all so much!
 
I'm sitting at my dining table teary-eyed because of the incredibly sweet and kind package that came in the mail today. Thank you all so much for sending me your projects, and for the notes, too. This was the best surprise. It made me feel so loved. Clay, Max also said thank you for including him.

THIS! is what it is all about!

It makes me teary eyed, in a happy way, that such a small gesture made someone's day! THAT is why I love our group so much!

Of course, Kristina! YOU (&Max) are so very loved & special to me!!
I really enjoyed his handwritten note back! Thank YOU, Max.

Thank you, everyone for the stamps! They were very well done, and I am going to use them in my junk journal that I’m starting!

I received my stamps today. Everyone was so creative! Thank you so much for the effort you put into these. I enjoyed them greatly.

Are we making extra bracelets to send to some lucky person? I hope so. It was such a sweet surprise to get the stamps.

nycfem 04-03-2024 02:20 PM

Ideally, we will surprise someone every time, and the wrangler will choose and let us now :-)

There’s too much going on in my life, including depression and I just can’t sign up for this one. I have some ideas of what I’d do but I’m not sure I’d get it done in time…and I don’t want to have the dreaded 4 months of non-participation, so I’m bowing out in this one.

GeorgiaMa'am 04-04-2024 07:47 PM

Soft*Silver, your private messages are full and I need to PM you. Could you please clear some messages out?

Thanks!

Sign ups are closed!

~ ~ ~ Project: BRACELETS! ~ ~ ~


*Make at least one bracelet each for six people. Bracelets can be made with beads, charms, hemp, embroidery floss, leather, jute or whatever you want! See Pinterest for ideas. The designs and materials are totally up to you!

*You can make bracelets to size or you can make them adjustable.

*Send $7 to wrangler/GeorgiaMa'am with your project.

*Please put each person's bracelet/s in a baggie, or envelope, or include a tag on them. On each baggie (Sharpies are great for this!) or envelope or tag write your name, the name of the person it's for, and the date.

Sign ups will be open 3/29/2024 through 4/5/2024. Sign ups are closed.

Due date is 5/6/2024, and final date for me to receive is by 5/13/2024 or you will go on the hold list for 4 months.

I will mail out by 5/20/2024.

Remember to PM me your address and ask for mine if you do not already have it.

1. GeorgiaMa'am - wrist size 8 1/2"
2. clay - wrist size 8"
3. Nycfem - 7.5 to 8
4. Besame* ...7 to 7.5 "Please make mine in pastel colors"
5. soft silver 8"
6. Nina 8". Please no hemp. I'm allergic!

"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 four 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 four 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. 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 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 2/21/24. I can start participating in new projects on 6/21/24. I have added myself to the list below:

1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/24, able to participate 5/28/24)
2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/21/24, able to participate 6/21/24)

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."

CURRENT ON HOLD MEMBERS:

None! Everyone can participate.
