Jennifer,
Ricki Racer found something from a past project she thought would be fun to play with. She is the cutest.

So glad to see this thread alive and kicking. :) Once I get moved and life settles down a bit, I'll be back!

:stillheart:

There are about 160!! How many do youu want?

I love you, Rain!

I'll take 10 - 20 extra if you feel like parting with them. :)

I have a question about the "You are so beautiful" project. If I remember correctly, we agreed to go with 8.5 X 11 for the letters, right? Well, I just went shopping for supplies and they don't sell that size canvas!

I bought 8 X 10, because the next size they had was 9 X 12. So, is it just me, did everyone else find the right size?

I know it will look weird if mine are a different size from all the others. I could just use pages from an artist pad and draw, paint, stencil, the letters on. They would be easy to hang, they'd be light enought to just tape to the wall, I guess.

What do y'all think? I need advice...

Im not using canvas and I agree that different sizes will look just fine. I think that was discussed a little previously.

Thank you for the input Clay & Midnight! I'm going to get to work first thing in the morning.

Hello my friends! Everyone is correct about the size issue. It wont make a difference! And, now that I have moved into a bigger store, I have several areas I can actually put this! Including right on the balcony, right above the fitting rooms! And as you open the door to come into the shop, it would be directly ahead of you! Perfect!

I have been so blessed with this journey! SO many people have helped to make this possible! Including my former landlord! We sat down to discuss the two stores of his and we both agreed neither one was meeting my needs and he was not able to finish the renovations in a timely fashion. So I found another store front in the same plaza that is nice and large enough for a consignment shop! And it is all fixed up and ready to move into! Which I am doing tomorrow! I paid rent to the new store and friends and family and customers are coming to help me move and then size and maybe even hang more and finish ticketing the store and its inventories TOMORROW! And my former landlord has even hired some men to do the heavy labor, out of his own pocket! I have truly made a good friend with him! It goes to show me that even when things dont work out the way you think they should, really wonderful things can still happen!

I have shared with some of my customers about the "you are so beautiful" project you all are doing for us. They are simply overwhelmed by the message of the words AND the fact that is is a gift from strangers who believe in us. Thank you so much. So very very much! :moonstars:

we moved into the new store and today we start assembling it. Oh how beautiful it is! I will try to post photos later today!

Clay and Ms Scarlett have been teasing me with photos of some of their letters. I cant wait to see this sign go up! Its going to be lovely! And so inspirational! I cant believe it! Its really happening!!!

You are so beautiful
 

Well, I am so glad to see the progress. If you PM me the address I get my art deco pieces in the mail to you.

Congratulations Store Lady, and what a beautiful store it shall be. :hangloose:

thank you Tommi! I will PM you now. I was just at the store setting up racks and adding clothes to them. I was able to purchase two more "rounders today. I have a call into someone who is selling display shelves and hope to get two of them. My sign is in the hands of the person who will be hanging it tomorrow! Its pulling together and I know I will be open by the 15th! OMG! Pinch me! Its a wonderful feeling to know my dream is coming true! And you all have made it so special for me! I cant wait for my customers to see your signage! I want them to feel beautiful!

I am so excited for you! I love hearing how everything is coming together for you.

Would you PM you address to me also? I finished my letters this weekend and am ready to mail them out! I had a great weekend working on them.

YEAHhhhhhh
 

Miss Tia who has A dream come true. We need to celebrate...Let's have a virtual Crafty Party Toast when you get it allllllll done. Such exciting things happening for you makes life a little better. (f)(f)(f)

Inquisitive Mind Wants
 

Does September seem far away?

Does anyone have a theme or is there a Wrangler project coming up?

Does the Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types thread want to do a Raffle basket (Something from you and you and you)?

Does "Raffle Bags" ring a bell with anyone here?
See the list below for an idea.

Tommi , Rafflemiester Little Rockalypse 2012

Right now Rain is hosting the Altoid project (closed for sign ups) due by end of June.

We don't have a "next project" scheduled. Sometime I'd like to wrangle a third annual "post secret" project (based on http://www.postsecret.com for those not familiar). But that doesn't need to be the next project. It can be anytime.

I will leave your other questions to the others :D

I sooooo wanna do another post secret project with you, girl!

:stillheart:

Oh Tommi! How so very sweet of you! I was given a HUGE antique dark mahogany round dining room table with thick claw feet today for the store! It is where my sweaters are going to be folded and exhibited! I have an old antique side by side, drawers on one side, a hanging section on the other, that I am going to use in the shop too. I will put nylons, gloves, scarves, etc in the drawers and hang teddies and nighties in the hanging side.

the thrill of this going from my mind to reality is amazing! And I get to share it with all of you!

I would love to do something from our thread for the raffle! I loved our project from last year. I just wish I could have seen the completed book.

I can also make raffle bags again ... just let me know what you need.

I forgot to post that I sent Gal Friday about 40+ tins.

I would donate to a penpal basket if someone wants to wrangle it. Just say the word :)

I would contribute something also, but could not wrangle.

what is this about?
