A Blessing In Disguise
 
Diva, and everyone!

I just got my Happy package (the nice post person left it sitting on the little ledge above the mailboxes!)!!! It was the perfect 'pick me up' since I've been having a rough day. On top of work and choir stress, all this bullying stuff is really affecting me. Instead of sad tears, I have happy ones now! :stillheart:

Everyone did SUCH a wonderful job! I love the variety and creativity. I'm amazed and inspired. Thank you, all!!!

:stillheart:

Mr. Bent may have something there. :|

I was never very good at arts and crafts,although this is my season right now.
My sister got me into detailed pumpkin carving and I love it. But I think the kids like it the most I think.

It has become the yearly ritual around here. :bluebat: :chainsaw:

An ex of mine was VERY good at this. Some of her pumpkins were even used on the set of Roseanne for their winter shoots.

Excellent! You have great timing, justkim! We're going to be doing another crafts round here very shortly. In the next day or so, Cara will let us know what project she's come up with for us to participate in and, if it's something you think you'd enjoy, then please make sure to sign up. All rules will be discussed then.

Glad you stopped by!

Sorry, there's no 'enters quietly' in here....You must jump in, slinging glitter everywhere and Your glue gun in Your holster! YEEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!!!!

;) Welcome!

justkim 10-16-2010 08:20 PM

Dang! I thought I could get away with being quiet... I am looking forward to seeing what creativity I can bring forth... Most of my creativity happens when I am doing hair or going hog wild on a full set of acrylic nails...

Announcing: New Project!
 
Hey everyone!

I'm back from rehearsal and, as promised, here's the new project!!! :D

Simple Postcard Swap

In this project, we will be sending postcards about or from the cities in which we live. An acceptable alternative can be a city or cities which we have visited or want to visit. The postcards can be handmade or store bought, and should be a standard size (4x6...no larger than 5x7, please). In the blank space on the back of each card, please write a story, poem, or letter about the place pictured on the front of the card. Be creative! It's okay to "doctor up" store bought cards using any type of material that can (legally) be sent through the mail. You will need to send one postcard for every participant in the project. Remember to sign your name somewhere on the postcard so we know who it's from. :) Please do not worry about including money for postage this round. This is because I am horrible about remembering to include my check and no doubt owe some of you! :|

I'm capping this project at 15 participants. The sign up deadline will be 11:59 p.m. Sunday, October 24th. Projects should be postmarked and sent to me no later than Monday, November 22nd. Please sign up by adding your name to the list below. After adding your name, please PM your mailing address to me even if you think I already have it. I will PM my mailing address back to you as soon as I'm able. :)
