Cards are all in the mail. No candy, I have no willpower which means no one would have received any anyway because I'd have snacked while I crafted. :)

laruss 10-03-2013 06:40 PM

My cards are done, envelopes addressed. Just need to write in the cards and I am mailing them out on Monday.

ahk 10-04-2013 05:01 PM

Does anyone know if the last project has been mailed out yet?? OR received anything?? Curious.

I sent out the list of addresses again because I've received several requests for it-- if you haven't you still got it. :| Don't forget to send out to those so everyone gets them before Oct 31. Happy card making!!

Katniss 10-04-2013 05:06 PM

My Halloween cards are done and just finishing up the "special insert" to those who are ok with treats. Plan to mail out Monday, including the one on a "slow boat to China." :2nddaywalker:

Haven't gotten the "Mentor Moment" packet yet but I thought it was being mailed after the reunion. (not sure)

The slow boat FROM China left the country last week with four Howl-0-ween greetings! I checked on the China Post web-site and everything was either ON a plane or WAITING for a plane to wing its way over to the USA ....... of course, no telling how long they will take! lolol

My Halloween cards are all done and ready to be put in the mail on Monday. :)

ahk 10-06-2013 12:25 PM

I finished my cards yesterday-- they'll be in the mail this week. Any other problems/issues to those that are still doing them, please ask.

Thank you.

Bèsame* 10-07-2013 07:05 AM

Boo!

My cards are hitting the mail today! Enjoy! I'm looking forward to opening my mail box in the next few weeks.



amiyesiam 10-07-2013 10:54 AM

Checking in:
cards are mostly done
envelopes are addressed
waiting on 1 more thing

Gemme 10-07-2013 11:44 AM

Some things have changed so you all will be getting less handmade goodness than I would like, but you'll still be getting something.

Pinkgeek, got your stuff. Fantastic!

candy_coated_bitch 10-07-2013 09:32 PM

ATTENTION:

A post meant for this thread ended up in The Twilight Zone.

Here's the deal, I can see folks are wrapping up this project and I just wanted to say I have something I'd like wrangle next. Whenever things seem to have died down enough from the Halloween cards. And if no one else has anything up their sleeve. :)

amiyesiam 10-07-2013 10:24 PM

Pinkgeek your card arrived today and it is lovely! Thank you so much.

Dooo Doo doo doo
Dooo do dooo dooo.

Right on.....

We finished the cards..In the mail tomorrow,

bring it CCB

ahk 10-09-2013 08:20 PM

I was addressing all the cards tonight and noticed I'm one short-- so this weekend I'll get it made. Rut-roh!

Sorry to the person on the list that will be receiving late. My sincere apologies.

laruss 10-09-2013 08:55 PM

My cards went in the mail today, sans candy as I was worried about the border crossing, plus the extra expense in postage.

I made 13 cards, I counted a dozen times and I had 13 cards, today when I finally put them in the envelopes I had 12. So... being as Tommi and Kajira share an address I am going to have you share a card and I will also send you one (handmade) for Christmas. I had to drop out of the Christmas card exchange but I will make you two a card and send it as my apology and if I find the missing card I will send it too. I hope that is alright. I have no idea where it went. Let me know if this is not acceptable and I will make a new one, although it will be completely different as I have none of the supplies left that I used to make that one. Sigh

sis 10-10-2013 08:08 PM

The slow boat from China made it to one of my four peeps! Woo Hoo!

Deb

amiyesiam 10-11-2013 12:04 AM

Katniss your card arrived today! It is lovely!

Gemme 10-11-2013 04:52 AM

Unique, your card came and it's lovely!!!!

Bèsame* 10-11-2013 06:35 AM

Good morning!

This Halloween card exchange was fun to make, in fact I finished making them the day before the reunion. But... The replies and notes I'm receiving now is the best part!

I'm anxiously awaiting my mail!!!

Happy weekend, Happy Halloween ...

This is funny, because I counted myself! I have an extra. I love mail, so I sent Tommi and Kajira' separately, the more to open the Merry!

Enjoy!

laruss 10-11-2013 12:18 PM

Tommi and Kakjira i found the extra card, it had gotten tucked in with my stack of envelopes. But... if it is okay with you I am going to send it to a little boy in the US who is blind and collects cards and postcards from all over the world. I will still send you two a hand made Christmas card.
I hope that is ok.

Gemme 10-12-2013 05:38 AM

Katniss' came yesterday!

Bèsame* 10-12-2013 07:13 AM

Oh this is fun! I received a spooky card from So Cali. Thank you Tommi and Kajira:)

laruss 10-12-2013 01:42 PM

I received an awesome card from PinkGeek today. Thank you!

Leigh 10-12-2013 01:49 PM

Got my card from apinkgeek & Jess so that was awesome :)

mine are being finished up & will be sent out this week!

amiyesiam 10-12-2013 06:28 PM

I got my card from unique and tommi/tommi's kaijira

Both are wonderful!

ahk 10-15-2013 03:17 PM

I received cards from Gemme, Katniss, and Laruss. Thank you!!

PoeticSilence 10-15-2013 04:10 PM

I'd like to suggest that every time we have a project, that we include some innocent third party. We would have a researcher who goes out and finds a kid with cancer, a mother who lost her son in Iraq, a father who lost his job, a teacher/band class whose children didn't win the first place in band, a social worker that made a difference... and let's all include them in our project. I haven't been able to edge into the projects yet, but I do this from time to time on my own. Why not do it as a collective group? It will only be one more person and some of us are disabled and have more time to look these things up using the internet.

candy_coated_bitch 10-15-2013 04:13 PM

I just wanted to say I still plan on doing a project! Since no one else spoke up and said they wanted to go next--well I will wrangle next. :)

I'm not going to post a lot of details until after Halloween, just because I think it might get confusing to start sign ups while everyone's thanking people for lots of cards. (Which is great!) But I prefer simple LOL.

So, on November 1st, officially after Halloween, I will post the full details. But just to start thinking ahead a little--we will be doing INCHIES!!! Which are basically like Artist Trading Cards using a 1 X 1 inch square and are really fun.

ahk 10-15-2013 04:59 PM

Sis:

I haven't been able to get to the post office yet -- I plan on going Thursday. The one its delivered to is just a pain in arse to get to. But I will let you know-- I promise. :D

Gemme 10-15-2013 05:03 PM

Got cards from Katniss and Tommi and hys beautiful lady.

:stillheart:

PoeticSilence 10-15-2013 09:00 PM

This is me sharing:

Do you like to make your letters/cards envelopes just a little more special than ordinary?

Do you sometimes organize your stamps to match cards? (like bday stamps for bday cards)

Do you feel sometimes that because you are creative, you don't mind spending a little extra to go that one step further to make something?

Then this is for you: http://www.zazzle.com/gay+stamps?st=price&sd=asc

I haven't had to use them for large projects yet. You can make your own special stamps via the post office (see their site for instructions) Or you can use one these people have made. Sure they cost more because of the special printing, but its the cost of a coffee isn't it.

Thanks Gemme, and everyone...I must let y'all know.

My beautiful lady made all the cards by herself....I just got to sign them :mohawk:

amiyesiam 10-16-2013 10:39 AM

Yesterday I got cards from Larruss, Gemme, Ahk and they are are lovely and hanging up!
Mine will go out Friday.

laruss 10-17-2013 01:04 PM

Thank you
 
Katniss, for my Halloween card. The dots behind the pumpkin head made me laugh because they look like sticky outy ears.

Also to let you know that last week I sent the found Halloween card off to the blind boy who collects cards and postcards from around the world. Thank you Tommi and Kajira for sharing a card to make this happen. Although in truth I would have made him one anyway, but it all worked out. lol

Katniss 10-17-2013 10:21 PM

I'm having a moment.....
 
Wow! Wow!Wow!Wow!


Just received my "Mentor Moments" packet in the mail this evening! What was enclosed was truly amazing, creative and much of the advice oh so timely! Opening all the little envelopes and tissue paper made it seem like the holidays! Since I seem the first to post about it I don't want to ruin anything by saying what the items were....but will hint at cards, photos, quilting (!!!), and stained glass-esque items!!!! I am planning on creating a framed collage of several of them to hang in my office. It is obvious so much thought and care went in to each submission. Thanks to ALL of you for participating, and Pixie for the awesome idea!.
