[Soft*Silver]

I am so far behind…I might not make it. I will know tinite, depends on how much progress I do tinite

[nanners]

You can do it Soft Silver! Sending you positive energy & thoughts.

[Bèsame*]

Well, I got to sign on today. It's been a week, I'll say

Finally got to the mail box with out a thunder and lightning storm.

I have gotten Nanners. I want to go on vacation with you!

Thank you Clay for being my liaison over these past few days. Your the bestest.

Soft silver, we are in the same boat. I'm putting the pedal to the metal myself. You can do it!!

I'm in the same boat too. As per usual, mine will be there on Tuesday, 9/10. I hope.

[Soft*Silver]

I did not make it, unfortunately. I have been so extremely busy tearing down the garden and dehydrating, freezing, and canning all the produce while working full-time and getting landscape ready for a new pavilion to be delivered! I am friggin exhausted. Wrong time of year to take on a project for me.
So I’m sorry I’m assuming this means I will be out for six months reinforced. I will miss all of you. But the garden comes first. I barely sleep!

[Bèsame*]

I have received another wonderful project! Clay, a great job for sure!

Soft Silver, well, you know the consequences. However, you do have a few more days. No pressure.

Looking forward to getting the rest...

[Soft*Silver]

If I can mail mine Monday, I can get it in. I have Sunday all day to work on this.

I finished mine tonight. I'm going to overnight it tomorrow, and it will get there Tuesday.

A N N O U N C E M E N T:

My project has an online component. (I colored outside the lines, a little bit.) Sometime between now and when Besame sends out the projects, I will be texting you a link so you can access the online component. So be assured, it is not spam.

[Soft*Silver]

Sorry everyone,

I did not finish and barely even got started. See you all in six months! Vegetable harvesting is a timely event. They have to be done or I lose them

I thought it was 4 months? Also, soft, you're welcome to hang around the thread and say hello and join in the conversations.

[Bèsame*]

I have received everyone's project and turned them around back to you, today.

Looks like Monday is the day for receiving summer vacation memories!!

I loved everyone's ideas. We are such a creative group!!!

[nanners]

I'm excited to get the last project we did tomorrow!

Does anyone have a burning desire to wrangle the next project or two?
If not Clay and I have 2 projects in mind.

Project 1:

September/October

Cheer Up card


Clay would like to give us the opportunity to cheer up a fellow BFP member who is dealing with cancer. Hys idea is to make a greeting card and send it to the wrangler who would send it onto the BFP member. At least that's what I think hy said...Clay, will you please clarify and let us know how we'll know who the person is we're making the card for?

Project 2:

November/December

Holiday Recipes

This one I'd wrangle. We would make one or more holiday recipe cards 4 X 6 or 4 X 6 folded with our favorite winter holiday recipe(s).
I am a COOKIE MONSTER!

Is anyone interested in one or both projects? Or does anyone else have another idea?

[Bèsame*]

--Great Idea for holiday recipes. Maybe we can start that earlier so that we can have them back in our hands, the first part of December? I might want to try all of them during the month. A bigger card than 4x6? How about a 5x7 so we can decorate the card. I know Clay will appreciate a bigger size. Maybe , with 3 holes on the left side and use binder clips to make a 2024 booklet??when we receive them all??

When I spoke with Clay, I thought it was a one on one opportunity to reach out. I definitely want to send a card(s) often. I know the joy of receiving some cheer in the old fashioned mail!

[nanners]

I stand corrected. Yes, we can do individual cards for the BFP member. I'll let Clay take care of that one.

Thanks for the input Besame!

So for the Holiday recipe cards, yes 5 X 7 is better! And yes, leave room on the top for 3 binder ring punches for me to assemble them and resend them out. If the holes are on the top it could even be a folded 5 X 7 card (making it 10 X 7).
Shall we just start that one next and make the final due date December 1 so then we have the rest of the month to busy ourselves with other holiday activities?

[easygoingfemme]

I'm in for both activities!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

For the Summer Vacation Project:

I sent everyone the link to the additional content for my project. If you didn't get it, or if you have trouble with the link, please let me know. I hope you like it.

I can't wait to see everyone's projects!

[nanners]

If nobody objects, I’ll post the Holiday Recipe project tomorrow.
