I got my tins today!!! Can we review what we are suppose to do with them? And when are they due? I love having a project to do! And how many am I suppose to make? I got a bunch!

Soft*Silver · 05-18-2012, 02:50 PM

I am so sorry for disappearing. I have been dealing with alot lately.

First, my daughter who is getting married next month has used this opportunity to become abusive to me...and I have had to lay down boundaries, including that I will not attend her wedding.

second, I have a cracked tooth and it became infected. Since medicare doesnt provide dental care, I had to scramble to get help. I did, but they cant pull it until July 9th. I did get antibiotics and that pain is now gone..for now

third, I had a window collapse on my face. Yes, literally. After a trip to Urgent Care and then ER, I have discovered I have no broken bones in my face but I had a hematoma above my eyebrow that was 3" x3", a bruised nose and a very sore collarbone. My glasses I just got were ruined...broken to bits! BVR was so wonderful that they repurchased new glasses for me!

fourth, my shoulder acted up again. I am now on steriods, a special anti inflammatory cream and extra strength vicodine. I have tendonitus and it mimicking a torn rotator cuff. Hurts like a bitch!

Fifth, couldnt open my store yet, as BVR was dragging its feet. I almost lost my site! However, site is saved and this actually worked out for the best because now I can move into the big store and have 4 times the floor space! I am SOO relieved because I was crammed into the little store!

I spent all day at the library doing research and all this week have been meeting with my business advisors too. We ARE opening in June but mid June!

Ups and downs...and all arounds. But back on track and ....how are the letters coming??? LOL

Hooray for the tins!!!! Thank you Rain!!!!

Yes, what are we suppose to do now?????

Ready to rumbbbbbbbbbbbble!!!!

nycfem · 05-18-2012, 08:59 PM

My guess is that we are to decorate all of them exactly as we want to and send them back to Rain who will disperse them (along with five dollars for her postage costs). For ideas it is likely that we should google "altered altoid tins" and various versions of that. Rain will have to give us a due date so that we don't slack off! Oh, and here is another question for Rain: are we allowed to specify who we want each of our tins to go to?

I am soooo glad you are doing better!! Sounds like you have had a rough time! I am still finishing the letters.. The heat has been awful this past week.. We dont have air so I am glad it is finally cooling off.. I want to play with them this weekend!!

Soft*Silver · 05-18-2012, 09:22 PM

the new opening date is June 15th! So plenty of time to create! Thank you all, again, for helping me out! Starting a new adventure is never easy sailing but as long as its expected, its never a crisis, right? LOL. I am just SO loving this whole journey..even tho so much has happened around it, the process of opening the store has been nothing but positive!

So has everyone received their tins from Rain? How many did people who have received theirs get? Wondering if we all received the same number.

Also, I sent Rain a PM asking her to please check in on the thread and answer our questions. Additionally, please hold Rain in your heart because she is going through a hard time.

Glad you are on the road to recovery, and things are going to be okay. Will keep the deadline in mind as I am A.R.E.

I dunno as I have been crazed, a traveling critter sitter, another direction caretaker, and out of town so don't know if mine r there. But, when I get my hands on em, and have some R & R I may never stop. And (((2((Rain)))))))

I received 8 tins. I hope Rain is doing ok.

I worry about her. She seems so sweet.

I'll do that google thingie you suggested. I don't have a clue what to do lol.

LadyRain · 05-19-2012, 08:04 PM

ok wittle darlings here is da facts.............you can alter the tins anyway you like, no need to use the little goodies i put in each tin, just felt it would be a waste to send them empty..there are some cool ideas out there on the internets!! Time frame how about a month since no one else has posted a project. Everyone got 8 cause 7 (one to practice on) signed up and i really wanted to send out about 35 each, seeing that i have almost 200 !!Someone asked for an extra so she got more.I really should give up my altoid addiction! So when your done mail them back to me, add 5 bucks and wait by your mail to get a collection back!! Fun huh!! and to the people worried about me, I really am ok, i posted cause i was looking for conversation about my situation. still not sure what to do cause in the end i really do love this person...............rock on !!

nycfem · 05-19-2012, 08:30 PM

Thanks, Rain. Date due: June 20th (gives us a month)

Reminding myself who the seven participating are:

Rain
me
Tommi
Princessbelle
Miss Tia
ami
Pixie
Purepisces
Ami

That makes 9 people, which would work because we received 8 tins and obviously don't need to make one for ourselves. But Rain, you are saying there are 7 people so who do I have on the list who I shouldn't have on the list? Anyone else who wants to answer feel free too. I just want to clarify so I know whether to send Rain 7 or 8 tins. We always send the wrangler one project less than the total number of participants.
