Butch Femme Planet - Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types

Unfortunately, I'm not going to have mine done in time. As usual, I procrastinated, and then ended getting a severe case of bronchitis. I lost my voice and couldn't work for almost two weeks. I came back to work last week and hoped to finish my matchboxes over the weekend, but I was so tired I didn't do any work on them at all.

As it stands I have 4 finished. I'll finish the others up over the next few weeks as I get more energy back and mail them out to you individually, if you don't mind giving me your addresses.

I am so sorry to disappoint everyone who I know has worked so hard to make this project and meet the deadline. I know that I won't be able to participate for the next six months.

I am really sorry to hear this, pure. I always look forward to seeing your work. Procrastination is a brutal beast.

Why don't you go ahead and mail me the ones you have done now? I'll get your pieces from the other folks to you and you can send the rest out when you are up to it.

I echo clay's sentiments; get better soon.

I received FOUR packages today, penpallers! I'm super excited about what I see. I'm sticking to my initial time frame, though, so you have time to get those four pieces to me if you want, pure.

And next......

So, now that all the projects are in except Pure's....who's up for ATCs?
Artist Trading Cards that is. We haven't done them for quite awhile and I've got an itch to do them!

I'll volunteer to wrangle unless someone else really wants to wrangle and do something else.

They are about the size of a business card and you do artwork on them.
Yes, googling it would give you a good idea of what they are.
Artist trading cards are 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches

Oh, thank you! My art abilities are limited and restricted to stick people! Could I draw stick people in various postions and then write famous quotes by famous people?

An example might be......A stick person bending over and the quote of Joan River's "If God wanted us to bend over, he would of put diamonds on the ground"

We tend to leave religion and religious icons out of it, plus that's a lot of text.

Simple is good. Don't overthink things.

I vote ... YES! And YES for nanners to wrangle. I would like the information/sign up sooner than later with maybe a generous amount of time to complete?!?

I think I can get them to you by Wednesday next week. With any luck, maybe I can even finish the rest over the weekend so you'll have them all. I'll let you know by Monday.

I took a break on this last one! Feel free... if so inclined... to share your wee matchbox crafts! I'd love to see them! :koolaid:

I like ... POSTIMAGE ... for photo hosting... quick / easy, you can resize the photo there so you don't have to adjust/fiddle with anything on your cell or camera!

That would be great! That would still be within my time frame for packaging and mailing so that's perfect. I wish for you lots of creative and inspirational juju.

Gemme, I'll wait for you to give the go ahead on the ATC project before I post the official project, OK?

I did think of a theme, I would like it to be NATURE. That leaves a lot open to your interpretation, and that's ok. Use any medium you want as long as it fits on the ATC.

Here are the negotiable things:

Deadline dates?
limit the number of people to sign up?
Dollar amount to send to wrangler?

Isn't this what we decided last year? When did we talk about this last?

My memory is crappola.

I agree we hold sign ups when this project has officially finished.

Also, yes we did agree on an increase to the Wrangler for costs.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 12:16 AM.
