How about 9pm? Would that work Gemme? I will only change the sign up time once, so if that works for Gemme (since she spoke up first) and no one else has any major conflicts it will be Saturday April 25th at 9pm.

Speak now or forever hold your peace, everyone.

Any time from 7pm on would be great, so 9pm definitely works for me. I spent some time cruising Etsy last night and I found some really neat projects that I have no chance in Hell of being able to complete BUT I think I found some that I can do in the time frame given so I am totally jazzed about this project. I've got MY theme picked out already. You know what they say....if you dream it, if you believe it, you will manifest it.

One thing I would like clarification on is the size. You said the 32 matches box size but mine are empty when I get them so I don't have a frame of reference to go by. Do you mean the size we did before (a little over 1 inch wide and a little over 2 inches long) or a larger size? I'm asking for a specific measurement or an 'educated guesstimate' if you can give one as I have found several options that I could order but need to know if we're looking at something in the 1x2 range or the 2x3 range or the 2x4 range or the 2.5x5 range, etc.

Thanks a bunch!

I appreciate CCB being very specific and yes, it will suck greasy monkey balls if I don't get on the list, but I respect the limitations set. She didn't just PFA them. She thought about them and they are based on years of experience with projects and wrangles and the things that can go bump in the night and wrong in our lives.

We have some newish folks and they may not understand the frustration we've experienced when deadlines are extended out again and again for late arrivals and when the projects don't get sent back when they say they are going to be. Like now. I'm sure something came up that Tommi didn't expect but those of us who participated are anxiously awaiting our little gems of crafty goodness and it's hard. It's like having to wait for a birthday pressie we were promised. Hard!

A note for future wranglers. The time frame rules MUST apply to you as well. I have no worries that Besame will be prompt but others might not be. I caution those who want to wrangle to keep in mind that you MUST return our projects to us when you say you will or the rules regarding lateness will apply to you as well. We didn't specifically spell that out before but it must be enforced as well for the wrangles to run like well-oiled machines.

The project MUST be postdated by the date the wrangler states in the thread, the wrangler MUST be honest and firm and not allow late comers to throw off the project (and MUST let the rest of us know who was late) and the wrangler MUST send out the projects when they say they will.

No more months long waiting for projects to come in or go out. We all have busy lives and those of us that contribute have expectations based on what is put into the thread. No one else's work/lives/schedules/etc should be compromised due to another's. It's as simple as that.
