Here is one.
What does "Spring" mean to you?

Create something, anything and keep it within our standard mailing size limits.
List Deadline: March 5, 2011
Mailing Deadline: SPRING EQUINOX March 20, 7:21 P.M. EDT
The four seasons are determined by changing sunlight (not heat!)—which is determined by how our planet orbits the Sun and the tilt of its axis.

At the start of spring—the spring equinox—day and night are approximately 12 hours long and the Sun is at the midpoint of the sky. Our north pole tilts towards the Sun.
or Spring: Art Springs From

or : The Mattress Spring

okay..NEXT.

Spring ..melting snow..

That sounds like it would be a fun project, Tommi! I'd be down for that.


:welcome: Deviant! Once we determine a definite wrangler and get all the specifics (deadline to sign up, deadline to mail project, parameters of the project, etc), we'll post a sign up log. Just add your name and start crafting! Ask any questions you think of, because it's likely that someone else is thinking it too.

OH!!!!

Jennifer....I got my package off to you today but in my rush to get to the post office before it closed, I forgot to include the postage money for you. I'll send a card out to you most likely on Monday with it included. :)

Gemme, I do the same thing..end up sending $$ later. Maybe if I got the package ready ahead of the projects, and stuffed the money in and had a big sign saying :Mail by date.....ahh, __ it happens.
Our Diva set the precedent for Spring last year..I also happen to love it, and have so so many things blooming. and my Japanese Red Coral trees are coming alive with tiny green leaves after a naked winter.

Speaking of the Diva;;>Give her a double big hug for me Gemme. I'm working and can't get away right now. Best regards..T.

we usually do 4x6 post card size for our base
then art it up any way you want (keeping it kinda flat for mailing purposes)
then make enough for everyone on the list
minus yourself unless you want one for you
mail them to tommy
tommy then divides everyones work up and sends you back one of everyone elses

you can make the same thing for everyone or a different one for each person

include 5 dollars for tommy for postage

there is no judging here so feel comfortable about that

the person wrangling the project usually picks the theme
in this case the theme is spring

any kind of spring/ ideas about spring/different kinds of spring

Thanks Diva for adding me :)

So I make 10 projects with "spring" as the theme.
They can be anything I'm assuming? Any medium, whatever, as long as it fits in an 8x10 envelope right?
Then I mail all ten to Tommi with $5.00 each for postage, then he mails them all out?

So a few questions...
Why don't we just mail them to the other people ourselves?
Do all 10 things have to be the same?
Can you choose who gets which item you make? Can you personalize them in some way for each person?

I think that's all my questions.

Stacy 02-26-2011 01:27 PM

That's $75 in postage. How often do y'all do this?

So what is the reunion project btw? I think I'd like in on that.

Good question LOL

Can you choose who gets which item you make? Can you personalize them in some way for each person? Yes you can, I put mine in plastic baggies with each persons name on them. or you can just put their name on the project itself

I think that's all my questions.

Each person sends 5 total
Tommy will get $5 x 9 (not including tommy) =45 dollars
it will cost Tommy about 5 each to send out the nine packages
no one ends up with lots of extra cash LOL

Stacy 02-26-2011 02:13 PM

Oh I get it! So Tommi puts everyone's projects into one box and mails that ONE package, which costs him $5.00 approx. *ding ding ding* Lightbulb moment here!

Alright! I'm stoked and my creative juices are beginning to peculate.

Here are a few posts about the reunion project, we got the idea from the ArtHouse Sketchbook Project that several of us participated in and it grew from there into something Planet specific for the reunion!

we can do

1. 1 page per letter right?

That is what I want to do.

or we can just do a few pages or even just one page.


2. It has to be 8x11.5 or smaller

if it is smaller Pixie will mount them? (so she has some uniformity?)

3. Think it is awesome Pixie will post book on line!!!

4. People remember to sign (user or real) your work on the FRONT
so people know who did what!!!


Maybe we give Pixie permission to put usernames on those that forget
unless you specifically say you don't want your name on yours. Did that make sense?

We can do any size pages, though the max is 8.5 x 11. If it's smaller Pixie can put the smaller page on an 8.5 x 11 so that all pages are the same size.

We can do as few or as many pages as we want. The only thing is that we have to be able to say which chapter it goes under (P L A N E T), with each letter standing for whatever each of us want it to stand for.

Alright! I'm stoked and my creative juices are beginning to peculate.

WELCOME Aroard. Glad you are joining in with the "Creative Types". This project is a freestyle sort of thing. Open to your imagination, and what you put together from simply words on paper, to complex crafting, photography, knitting, sewing, books, anything--> Just have fun, and feel yourself smiling as you do your stufffff and develop your "Spring". (jennifer (who has been involved in these threads since the spool) would chocolate chip cookies count if someone decorated them with "spring")

Words of wisdom/experience (e.g., don't wait too long to get started. Don't need to wait till the list closes to get a move on it. Time and life get in the way of our having relaxing fun, then the deadline is here, before ya know it and the rush is on:firetruck:)

Have fun, and don't hesitate to ask questions. Someone will post an answer.
