Mine were addressed and I thought gone. But... I found the envelope in my girlfriends car last night. She had forgotten to mail it. So... I will mail it today.

Bleu 04-07-2013 10:12 AM

I have, what is for me, a big-deal reveal that coincides with my cards. :)

I'm a little bit excited about it.

ahk 04-11-2013 01:43 PM

I have run out of cards.... and I only have 1 to go. Going to store later today so I can finalize this project.

Its been fun doing art again, but not so fun telling all my secrets. :|

Ps. How many do I need completed?

Hi everyone! I am a creative femme and I would love to participate in the next project (if there is going to be one that is)! I love meeting new friends and getting cool things in the mail, but even more so I love sending things in the mails to delight other people!

laruss 04-12-2013 01:09 PM

Did mine get there yet?

nycfem 04-12-2013 06:04 PM

Not yet, I'll post when I receive anyone's cards.

nycfem 04-15-2013 04:02 PM

now only awaiting cards from pajama and ahk

received Laruss- they are all truly special (enjoyed every which one), and thanks for the card :)

ahk 04-18-2013 04:27 PM

Mine are in the mail-- just went out.

Wryly 05-05-2013 11:46 AM

Has a new exchange been decided or arranged? I would like to participate if possible.

nycfem 05-05-2013 12:54 PM

No new project yet, still finishing up the "post secret" one.

ahk mailed his (I will post when I receive)

pajama to mail by May 15th (extended deadline)

everyone else's projects: I have and they are all so original and heartfelt and wonderful!

LaneyDoll 05-26-2013 08:29 PM

Do we have a status on this yet?

:sparklyheart:

nycfem 05-27-2013 05:37 AM

Yes, awaiting one person- in contact with them, should have and be able to send out by next weekend :)

ahk 06-03-2013 05:15 PM

So there was a glitch with the original cards that went out to NYCfem-- had to make 10 new cards, and as I was sending those away, I received the package just today. Not sure where it went - but it says 'return to sender' -- who knows. I sent the new cards out today--

Lets hope they make it this time--- :shithappens:

Tommi 06-03-2013 11:04 PM

On your mark get set....come on
 
Okie doakie...It's getting close.
Are we ready for a new project. Any idea's. Any wrangler's.
:fastdraq:

sis 06-03-2013 11:13 PM

I'm really not in a position to be the Wrangler but I would love to participate in an exchange that has a much quicker turnaround. (I actually have lived in two countries since Post Secret started and plan on being in another one within a month! lolol)

Anyhow, I LOVED doing an Altoid tin several years ago and wouldn't mind doing another one. OR, if we chose to share ANY craft project, I could see myself crocheting a small blanket. I know, I know, perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but my not all projects are my cup of tea either. With summer coming, perhaps doing a single item and passing it along would be less intense/stressful than doing 10 items. Thoughts???

Deb

cara 06-03-2013 11:24 PM

Yes for quicker turnaround time in the future. Or at least be willing to start another project even if the last isn't complete. I do remember it got a bit sticky at one point, though. I don't know what a good solution would be.

I do have an idea for a future project. What if each of us wrote a letter to our future self and then send it sealed in a pre-paid envelope to the wrangler of the project. Then, a certain amount of time later (6 months?), the wrangler can send the letter back to each person who has participated?

Cara

Tommi 06-03-2013 11:40 PM

June
 
Sign ups. Closed date. send date.

I'm Ready...
.Hmm. I can't do quiting, or crochet. I send my shirts to the cleaners for buttons. Writing a letter, then waiting 6 months makes me twitch..:blink:, but I could do it...:)

laruss 06-04-2013 01:10 PM

I would be in on the letter one and then we aren't waiting on people. Whoever sends them gets them back. No issues.

I would like to wrangle one as I have an idea I have been holding onto for months, but I was not in the position to wrangle it in January. Now I am ready. Let me know when I can take a turn.

So I am in and I am ready. :)

nycfem 06-04-2013 02:12 PM

I think it's a good time to start a new project. Everyone's ideas sound interesting :)

I guess whomever wants to start something up, just post it and we'll sign up!

laruss 06-04-2013 02:31 PM

Okay...

I do miniature watercolours and I got the idea from the Artist Trading Cards.
I would like us to do Artist Trading Cards with at least 2 mediums, mixed media style. That can mean 2 different types of paint, or embellish it with stones, glass, cut outs, photos, markers. The possibilities are endless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_trading_cards This is What Wiki says about the ATC's.

Here are some ideas. http://www.atcsforall.com/ there are no end of possibilities. You can search them out on the Internet or just make up your own.

They are 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" in size and you can buy them precut in every type of paper or you can cut your own.

We will take the first 12 people who want to join us.

This is a great project for me to wrangle as I have to send them out from Canada and our postage is much higher so this will be an inexpensive project.

If you are in please sign up and I will send you my address to send them to.

Deadline of July 11. You will only need to include $2 (and American is fine) in your envelope as they won't be to bad to send out. Unless you add heavy items to your cards, in which case $5-$10 would be appreciated.

I am looking forward to everyone's creativity.

This sounds interesting! I've added those that said something so far, but I have a question. Maybe I'm missing something but how does higher postage make for a less expensive project? I would think it would be more so, no?

*confused*

I'm in either way, though.

The A.T.C. sounds very interesting to me! However, I've checked out several sites and I'm finding that most cards are 'flat', really 'flat'. I'm thinking that I might have a little bit of depth to the idea I have. Also, would it be okay to make the same card design 12 times?

:blueheels:

Because it is such a small project the postage will be less even though Canada has more expensive postage. it will only cost me about $1-$2 postage to send them back out to everyone because it will just be an envelope.

Clear as mud now??

Hi sis,
Depth is just fine, all I ask is you send at least $5 postage to make up for it. And yes 12 of the same is just fine as they are going to 12 different people.

Join us!!

maryam 06-04-2013 08:13 PM

I'd like to do this one, please. I take it US funds are okay?

sis 06-04-2013 09:49 PM

Ok, I'm in ...... I'll be working on my 'stuff' over the next few weeks and bring it from China (this gives a whole new meaning to 'Made in China'!). I arrive in Winnipeg on July 4th but won't be coherent enough to get to the post office until the following Monday(its a time change thang! lolol). The up side is that I will be able to receive my goodies while I'm in Canada providing they arrive before August 15th! And, yes, I will send extra postage.

Deb

Yes, no problem at all. I need singles for an event in August so it will work out. We don't have dollar bills, the smallest bill we have is a five.
