Mentor Moment

Take this moment and give advice. This is not a lecture but an opportunity for your expression from something you would have liked advice or mentoring before you had began. So you can take this and share your experience...let your voice be heard!

These mentor moments can be written or visually expressed.

Projects for each participant (and $5) due to me 9/7/2013 (so that it won't interfere with the reunion!)

1. Pixie
2. nycfem
3. ahk
4. Corkey
5. Uniqueswtfemm
6. Katniss
7. LaneyDoll
8. Tommi
9. Tommi's kaijira
10. amiyesiam
11. purepisces

In regards to the type of mentoring you provide, it is completely up to you! It can be how to do an oragami piece, how to bake/or not to bake brownies, it can be about overcoming specific obstacles, it can be about you......I'm just ready to learn from y'all and have my moments validated in the process!

I look forward to it all!!

I started mine tonight....:hangloose:

Mine have been started too! I am excited! I may not have a lot of artistic skill with the hands on but I do have a resource or two with graphic arts via PC.

;)

You were really sweet to send me an ATC after I had to bow out. So, if you want one of these from me, you will have one! Please PM me your address :)

:sparklyheart:

Katniss 08-16-2013 07:51 AM

Yay! Guess what I recieved in the mail yesterday! Noooo, not a sex toy, but the ATCs! Yay! I love them all and thanks so much for the work and effort that was involved.

1) Laruss- My favorite colors are blues and greens!

2) Gemme- So true about which do we focus on, light or shadow.

3) Debbie- Glitter hearts always rule!

4) Sis- The quote was spot on and adore the butterfly. I can't even hem pants and send them out so handiwork is very impressive!

5) Pixie- Yours really made me think. I thank you for that.

6) Tommi- Yours was my daughter's favorite with the little deer in the background.

7) Nycfem-I love those stars and the quote!

8) Nanners- Yours made me smile. I thought of a 70's record cover with the colors and sparkles.

9) CCB--Thanks you again for taking the time to send yours on.


***Anyone who had to drop off the list I went ahead and made you a card. If you PM me your address I will be happy to send it to you. ***

Now...need to get my skates on for the next project. Wahoo!! So glad I found this thread!

Mentor Moments...

Mine are really close!!! Depending on how hectic my week is b/c of the start of school, I might be able to finish this week!

:sparklyheart:

ahk 08-18-2013 03:34 PM

I started mine.
I'll be finished this week too.

Katniss 08-18-2013 04:22 PM

I haven't started, but I have my idea and gathered all my supplies which for me is most of the battle. I hope to do them all in one go this coming weekend.

Katniss~~

Corkey 08-20-2013 03:31 PM

amiyesiam would like to ask those on the list if they would like their real name on the project she is working on to PM her (not me), with their real name. Otherwise your user name will be used. She is asking you to PM her (not me) within the next day or two.
She is currently at work or she would have posted this herself.

Anyone may use my screen name or shorten it to "Laney."

:sparklyheart:

Corkey 08-20-2013 05:28 PM

*sigh*
If one would like their real name used, please contact amiyesiam in PM, if not she will use your user name.

Please do not pull out of the list on my account. I replied that way for two reasons; one, so everyone could see it and two, because I don't know how to search for people here by name. I did not expect my answer to make someone choose to not participate.

:sparklyheart:

Corkey 08-20-2013 07:02 PM

You, are not the issue for me pulling out.

Just click on amiyesiam's name in the thread it will take you to her PM.

Tommi 08-20-2013 07:55 PM

THE ATC PROJECT was a hit , IMO.

received the goodies and am thrilled with the diverse and wonderful little visions and versions of talent from BFP.

Thank everyone of you. I'd do something like this again.

nycfem 08-20-2013 08:00 PM

Important and Time Sensitive!
 
*****ANNOUNCEMENT*****
I have the ATC cards that we made for the Reunion, and I am researching the best way to have them in the Raffle.
This is my idea, but I want to make SURE that no one would be disappointed or offended before I do it this way.
There are 10 of them, and I would like to put them in a frame (which leads me to the concern I have of both sides not showing as there were 3 of them that had pretty back sides to them as well as front sides). I would have each person's name (and title of their work if they included it) below their piece and somewhere in the frame I would have the name of our Thread here, all written out, likely in calligraphy or my very neat handwriting.

If this does Not work for anyone who participated, please let me know by Sept. 1st, by PM or on this thread. I would also like to know if anyone has any better ideas that what i have suggested.

Thank you for your time!

I think a frame would be a nice idea, as long as it would fit fine in the winner's suitcase. Calligraphy is so lovely. I think that would add a nice touch.

Pixie 08-27-2013 09:56 PM

Just checking in, I hope everyone is doing well! Just incase I don't get on here before the weekend, happy labor day weekend!!!

I will be sending out my address on monday!!!

As the "volunteer" who stepped forward, I am happy with anything you put together.

Gemme 08-28-2013 04:40 AM

CCB, I never received the ATC you sent out, so if it comes back to you please let me know.

LaneyDoll 08-29-2013 08:39 PM

My mentor moments will be mailed soon. I was trying to decide about enhancing them but nothing I have done appeals to me. So, in my mind, that means they are ready!

I am SO sorry about that!! It was actually mailed on Monday. I had originally asked my partner to mail it and over the weekend I was looking through a bunch of mail on his table and guess what was there? LOL! You should have it soon, if not tomorrow.

Oh, that's awesome! I was worried your work was lost forever, never to be seen by my eyes or yours again. I look forward to receiving it.

<---dramatic this morning

ahk 09-03-2013 08:49 AM

I will be sending out my cards this week to Pixie.
I had a blast doing it-- and while doing them I made some howloween cards too.

Soft*Silver 09-03-2013 09:24 PM

is there a new project coming up?

nycfem 09-03-2013 09:52 PM

Nothing's been mentioned. Perhaps we can wait until pixie receives the projects and then go from there. Were you thinking of wrangling?

Soft*Silver 09-03-2013 11:09 PM

it would be a mistake if I wrangled. I am a class act procrastinator. No one would get anything if left up to me. :(

but I would like to do a project. Its been awhile. I am needing some creativity outlets

Katniss 09-04-2013 07:37 AM

I finished my "Mentor" project last night and will mail it off Thursday to Pixie.

I hope everyone appreciates the fact I lost at least 45 brain cells due to accidental inhalation and excessive use of "airplane/model" glue. I also can never be fingerprinted on my left hand as the glue seems to have permanently filled in all the ridges an whorls on my fingers. I am also missing a patch of hair the size of a dime (you will see why when you get my project) from scratching an itch and forgetting my fingers were glue encrusted. :blush:


Can't wait to see everyone's work!!!! :cheerleader:


Katniss~~

ahk 09-04-2013 03:45 PM

nycfem: What about a howlOween card exchange?? Its fun and can enjoy a few laughters.

nycfem 09-04-2013 04:50 PM

I'd be cool with a Halloween card exchange but maybe we could do it in groups of 5 so that 5 people each exchange cards directly. That way it wouldn't be too many cards to do and no one would have to wrangle since it's a pretty simple holiday exchange.

My example would be:

Group A

1. ahk
2. Jennifer
3. (the 3rd person who signs up)
4. (the 4th person who signs up)
5. (the 5th person who signs up)

Then, a new group of 5 who exchange together

Group B
1. (the 6th person who signs up)
etc.

That way each of us get 4 cards and only have 4 cards to do.

Thoughts?

sis 09-04-2013 06:14 PM

WWOOOOOOoooooooo!!!!!
 
I would be interesting in a Hallowe'en exchange ........ however, I can't guarantee when the cards would arrive! If you think it would be okay for me to join, I will get onto this right away!

LaneyDoll 09-04-2013 06:27 PM

My fave holiday! I'm up for this one!

I think that would work out- But instead of having a wrangler for this, can we just send to our group addresses -- like 4 stamps/addresses. I think that would be easier. Whatcha think?

I am in for the holiday gift exchange!!! Love it!

ahk 09-04-2013 08:01 PM

Howl-Oh-Ween!! -- Everyone who is interested check back Sept. 8th for the sign up sheet. I feel we should wait til after this last project, wrangled by Pixie, should be officially over before we start a new sign up sheet. Take a look at NYCFEMs idea about how the grouping may be and put in your input. Thank you.

:rainbowAfro: :pirate-steer: :cigar2: :batman: :hippie: :vampire:

LaneyDoll 09-04-2013 08:15 PM

I like the idea of dividing the list and each mailing individually.

Katniss 09-05-2013 01:17 PM

My "Mentor Moment" project is stamped and mailed!

LaneyDoll your ATC was stamped and sent as well.

I am all over the Halloween Card exchange! I was wondering if you do not care to receive candy if you could notate that by your name. Not that I am for sure going to include a treat but you never know. :blueheels:

Bèsame* 09-05-2013 02:41 PM
