Rolling out my sleeping bag and trying to make friends with my fellow crafters. Anyone want to go in on a pizza while we wait? http://khq.images.worldnow.com/images/20076975_BG1.jpg Katniss~~(Buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil on my pizza please...) |

I have been doing this since the dash site and I have stepped back due to my irritation with drop outs and delays. While I try to be civil about it, it just gets to the point of why deal with it.
I have to say that when I saw Pixie wants to wrangle, it got my attention. I still have some of her art hanging in my craft room. And I would sign up not knowing the project and i will be participating this round. Hugs and Kisses Love and bubbles and all the stuff |
Maybe Pixie can let us know what it is and then we can start signing up next week. Pixie?
So, this was my morning. I am putting all the ATC's into packages, determining which ones go to who and who sent what so I don't send them theirs back (or do if they wanted them returned) and I do mine last. I had put them in the envelope with Jennifer's so I wouldn't lose them. So, I am laying them out and I realize they are not signed, weird I was sure I had signed them. Then I realize they don't all have the metal leaf I had added. Well I know I put metal leaf on ALL of them. Then I realize there is not enough!! What the heck?? I then realize these were the ones I had left over, so where are the ones I made for the project?? I start searching, I start pulling cupboards apart. I only keep finished art in a couple of places. I searched and I searched until I ran out of time. I had to go to work. Now I am sitting here wracking my brain trying to figure out what I did with them. I know they are there, there is no where for them to have gone. I have put them somewhere safe?? Tomorrow is my day in the studio and I was planning to send them tomorrow, which I am sure will still happen. I should know better then to put things in a "safe" place. Where would I put unfinished work? Which is actually my finished work this time. How do these things happen to me? I know... to much to do and to little space to do it. |

Katniss~~(humming a tune while waiting on Pixie....) |
Aw, laruss. I do that stuff all the time! I actually just spent an hour tearing apart my room looking for a mail art envelope I made and cannot find ANYWHERE.
@Katniss, my mom is famous for giving me stocking stuffer gifts she then finds throughout the year. It's kind of fun, actually LOL. And yes--Pixie!!! You dropped a bomb on us and we can't wait to hear what you have up your sleeve. :P PS: To those ATC project participants who have NOT given me your address please do so. This includes Gemme, Maryam, Bleu, justanolecowboy, wryly. I think some of you dropped off the face of the earth but I DO have cards for you! |
Maybe they did. Maybe it is flat.:)

Hi everyone!!!!
I didn't mean to let everyone hanging, I just didn't have enough time to go researching back to see if anyone had claimed the wrangling position...and have been working 14 hr days since I posted....so please forgive my tardiness. I am honored that you are all so interested in my idea. It was actually inspired by the conversation here on drop outs, sign ups, wrangling, forgiveness, and life. I was thinking of a Mentor Moment. Here you can do whatever you like (reasonable enough to mail) where you take a moment and give advice. This is not a lecture but your expression from something you would have liked advice or mentoring before you had began. So you can take this opportunity and share your experience and let your voice be heard. These mentor moments can be written or visually expressed. What I would like your input on is if you would like to do this as one piece and have one specific person it goes to, or if you would like to do multiples so that each person receives each one.... What do y'all think? *ps... I hope this doesn't sound dumb or boring....I have really been an advocate for validation lately and truly feel the inspiration and heart that lies in being witnessed and accepted* pixie |

This is a really good one to have people sit on for a few days before signing up to really make sure they are committed. Looking forward to figuring this one out. |

For me, making 15 ATC's was HARD. I've been in swaps before where people sign up but we get assigned only a certain number of partners. Say, three. even though more than that sign up. Not sure if that's too complicated. But just my preference, for the record. :) |
I just found this group on FaceBook and I am in love with the idea. I thought I would share it here as it is a great way to share the love while getting rid of extra pieces we have from here when people drop out.
Art Abandonment I follow Michael DeMeng on FaceBook already and I am not sure how I did not know about this project, but I think it is amazing and when you read the stories I think you will agree. You leave pieces of art all over for people to find, there are tags you can download and print. When people find them they have your email address and they can contact you. Some may not, but just the idea of making someone smile when they find it is worth it to me. Anyway I thought I would share because it may help us to not be so upset when we have leftovers. Now we have a great way to share them. I am starting today. |

As awesome as Pixie's project sounds, I will not be signing up for it. I have Reunion and a move between now and next month and I know the limits of my attention span and my free time. Not happening. I know some lovely things will be created though. Quote:

Just as an update, ATC cards have been mailed personally to the following:
-laruss -nycfem -Gemme -Tommi -nanners (also sent reunion card) -sis -LaneyDoll -pixie -Katniss -deb0670 Thank you SO much to those who have responded and Gemme, no worries about however long it took you to get back to me. I just want these cards to get to their rightful owners. Still waiting on: -wryly -justanolecowboy -Bleu -Maryam (I'm pretty sure some of them fell off the square earth box Tommi posted LOL) Also, still looking forward to hearing the finer details of the next project so I can decide whether or not to sign up. :) |

Katniss's message wasn't quite as profound ROFL. Quote:

Ooooh, I'm so excited folks are getting them!!! I think sending them out personally ended up being kinda fun. I'm glad you like it!!!!![/QUOTE]
May I also say I appreciated the hand-decorated envelope it came in! Nice touch! Also, was there a decision made as to when the next project/Mentor Moment sign up list would be posted? Katniss~~ |
This is the next project, and Pixie is the wrangler. She just needs to let us know when to start signing up and the time frame for sign-ups and deadline for mailing and how many people are allowed to sign up. :)

Ok, sorry for the delay everyone. I was so busy friday and then it was a long weeekend here. I just dropped them all off at the post office (-I wanted to confirm postage). They are in the mail. I sent everyone their extras back as some wanted and some didn't say.nanners got the reunion ones sent to her and I still have justanolecowboy's because I haven't received those ones yet.

c:) please count me in. I can do multiples! I'm looking forward to this~~~~~~happy face

Pixie hasn't yet posted the sign up but glad you are interested. Stay tuned :)

Please add my name:)
Not sure how to do that , I'm on my phone. |
To clarify--so we would be making ten items, each for one of the participants?
|
It seems to be the standard project. Make one less than the number of people signed up (i.e. subtract yourself from the total). So if 10 signed up, you'd make 9. And it looks like 10 signing up is the max here.
