Ok... I am going to try this out.

One of my goals this year is to start working through all the boxes of unfinished business packed away in the hidden corners of my mind.

Another one is to reestablish human contact with people I love and miss.

And this feels like the perfect project to do both. So... I may need some reminders and what not, but count me in.

nycfem 01-13-2020 07:32 PM

I am thinking a due date of the end of February - put a thanks if this sounds good. If it doesn't, of course- speak up. I want everyone to feel they have a date that gives enough time.

Post Secret project SIGN UP CLOSED

Oldies and responsible newbies welcome! No artistic talent needed - just have fun and put your all into it!

For examples http://www.postsecret.com (or postsecret on instagram / google etc)

Make 2 post secret postcards for each participant. We have 5 participants, so you will make 8 postcards. The most duplicates you can make is 4 (i.e. you can make a set of 4 same, and then a second, different set of 4- that way I can make sure each participant receives 8 different postsecret postcards). Or of course you can make 8 postsecret postcards that are all different. Size doesn't matter as long as it's within reason.

Fine to add your name or be anonymous. Secrets in the pen pal project must STAY in the pen pal project either way!

THEME: You can do any theme you want but the suggested theme is work. I chose this because I have been having a tough time over the past years with adjusting to jobs and such. Work includes anything related such as disability and retirement. Funny or serious. An alternative theme, if the work one doesn't appeal to you, is: anything related to the New Year.

Size of postcard (anything within reason).

Participants:

1. nycfem / Jennifer (wrangler)
2. GeorgiaMa'am
3. CCB
4. Besame
5. JustLovelyJenn

Time provided to be negotiated as a group after sign-up. We will make sure EVERYONE is comfortable with it and has adequate time. $ for wrangler shipping / packaging costs: 7 dollars.

JustLovelyJenn, so glad you are joining us! If any questions, just ask on the thread, and we will help guide you!

nycfem 01-14-2020 10:01 PM

Hey, y'all I am opening this sign up back up until Friday, January 17th, since I didn't give any leeway time noting a closing. So, y'all keep signing up :rrose:

That is so nice to read. It reminds me there is more to life than Breaking News, and chicken soup, Kleenex, Vicks Salve, sneezing and that miserable cold that kept me in the house. I see sunshine, and the humming bird feeder is empty. :rrose:

Hey, everyone,
I'm going to give until midnight to close sign-ups today but I also wanted to let you know I am changing the requirement for how many postcards you make to 1 for each participant instead of 2. Of course you are more than welcome to make as many as you want for each participant (as long as you make at least one) but I really had only made the requirement as 2 to compensate for being a small number of people participating. Now that it is a larger group (very exciting!), I am amending the requirement from 2 postcards per person to 1 per person, with the understanding that you are welcome to make more than 1 for each person but are certainly not required to. So excited that we have such a great group!

nycfem 01-17-2020 10:14 PM

Hi, folks, please read, as I finalized all the information (thanks).

Post Secret project SIGN UP CLOSED

Project due date: end of Feb! If I don't receive the cards by the first week of March, we take a hard line, and you will not be in this project. The only reason we do that is because without doing that, things were dragging out for months and months.

For examples http://www.postsecret.com (or postsecret on instagram / google etc)

Make at least 1 post secret postcard for each participant. This means you will be making a minimum of 7 postcards but of course make as many as you want! You can make all 7 the same or do variations or make each one different. Whatever makes you happy.

Fine to add your name or be anonymous. Secrets in the pen pal project must STAY in the pen pal project either way! If you want me to choose who your postcards go to, I'm always delighted. If you prefer to choose who each of your postcards go to, then make sure to label them with the person's screen name on the opposite side of the card as your secret (and if you decide to pick who each of your postcards go to please write "To" so that I don't get mixed up and think you are the one who made the postcard. If you want someone to know you made the postcard then write "From" or leave them anonymous- up to you).

ALL postcards will be mailed to me in a single package by you, and I will compile them in a packet for each of you and send them to you. When you send me your packet of postcards, please make sure you include your return address on the package. If you don't have my address and need it, just text or PM me. For my name on the front of your package please use "Jenny S."

THEME: You can do any theme you want (including a theme that is not one of my suggested themes) but the suggested theme is work. I chose this because I have been having a tough time over the past years with adjusting to jobs and such. Work includes anything related such as disability and retirement. Funny or serious. An alternative theme, if the work one doesn't appeal to you, is: anything related to the New Year.

8. easygoingfemme

$ for wrangler shipping / packaging costs: 7 dollars.

Any newbies, so glad you are joining us! If any questions, just ask on the thread, and we will help guide you!

Piece of advice to newbies: End of Feb sounds like a lot of time but many of us Oldies have had the experience of waiting too long and then barely finishing or not finishing, so it is much better to pretend the due date is a week earlier- at least! It will be much less stressful for you in the end that way!

Thanks for reading this! (f)

Look at all these cool peeps. I am really so sad to have missed this.....post secrets is my most fave project of all!!!

I was in critical condition in 3 hospitals for 50 days (12/05 to 01/24.......most here wasn't aware. Anyway, I was coded 12/14 then flatlined in ICU 12/17....so I was VERY sick, having major open abd surgery 12/20. I am getting better each week, slowly.

Thanks to the ones here who did know & kept me in thoughts & prayers & sent messages. I heart you all.

This is such an exciting group & project......:) Have fun!

nycfem 02-15-2020 11:43 AM

Hi, I'm going to amend the ABSOLUTE FINAL deadline to March 15th. This means anything after march 15th will not be sent out. I advise planning to get yours to me at least a week early. Then you don't have to go through the anxiety of not knowing if it will arrive on time. Trust me- I've been through this before myself :vigil:

If you don't mind, please put a thanks, so that I know you've seen this :bunchflowers:

Hi, how is it going for everyone? Do you need me to extend the time again or are you doing well? So far I haven't received any packages but did hear that easygoing is sending hers. Of course, I will post whenever a package is received.
