Life does have a way of getting IN the way, doesn't it? Take care of yourself!

My English boxes arrived! I popped them open and will begin the artistry very soon.

nycfem, I truly owe you an apology...things have been overwhelming for me lately. I am off work for a couple weeks due to a broken heel bone, and have been on the couch for the last 6 days on painkillers. It's getting tolerable with the "boot" and crutches now, so I'll be able to finish it next week. I sincerely apologize for the lateness...but look forward to sending it off by the end of the week.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Hope whatever is making life crazy difficult for you, improves real soon. Good luck

Just a little heads up I *intend* to have my matchboxes in on time. Haven't missed a deadline yet. However, I had to order mine as I needed a special size (I'm high maintenance that way) and they have yet to arrive.

Maybe I should have ordered from overseas like Gemme.....*sheesh*!

Riiiiight???

Baker Ross is awesome.

I was super surprised and happy to find them in my mail. They said the boxes would arrive between Aug. 18th and Sept. 4th. Yikes. I was expecting some early mornings and late nights in September but now I can take my time.

I've already got at least one layer of paint on all the sides of every piece.

Happy!

I know that CCB pulled out. Did anyone else?

Katniss · 08-29-2014, 09:19 AM

So....I still do not have my matchboxes. The company charged me but now seems to have trouble answering my e-mails on when they will arrive. I really am not sure what to do at this point. I need that particular size, they are paid for, but unless they arrive by next week I will miss the deadline. I would still like to send them out as I have the other materials however I don't want to guarantee anything if the company falls through on the shipment. To be fair maybe I should be taken off the list and if/when my matchboxes arrive I plan to do them and can ship individually if people still want them.

I'm seriously behind, and yes, I will be late. Mailing costs are going to be more than I thought, and I STILL dont have any finished. Also, the jewelry/chotchkies wont be ready, so all anyone will be getting are just the altered matchboxes. I should know not to get so ambitious in mediums I have no real experiance with. I am keeping the list of peoples names though, and hopefully when I do other projects I can include a few peoples jewelry/whatever each time.

Sooo, I dont know if I should be off the list or not, because of being late. Working as quickly as I can to get these finished.

Gemme · 09-02-2014, 05:51 PM

Oki, I would put my .02 in for you to send what you do have completed to be on time. I've been a bit behind myself once or twice but this project is going to be a little more convoluted in terms of mailing for Tommi due to the size and delicacy of the projects.

Your idea of sending the complicated pieces out to individuals as time goes by is a good one, I think.

I myself am a little behind due to not being able to sit and work on the pieces for almost two weeks now but I'll still be able to send my work out on Saturday the 13th as scheduled.

Is everyone else doing okay?

I will be finished on time. And, will have 15 cute little boxes!

Just need to fill with just the right romantic treasures.
( you know me...all about the romance)

clay · 09-02-2014, 09:35 PM

I will be able to get mine in mail by the 13th of Sept.
Thanks everyone. I just know we will all get some wonderful things...which I will cherish each & everyone!!

amiyesiam · 09-02-2014, 10:02 PM

Mine are done. They will go out this friday.

deb0670 · 09-02-2014, 11:33 PM

I have to wait til payday which is the 10th...i will do my very best to get them done and mailed out by the 13th.

You only need 14 boxes and then only 13 if you don't want one back for yourself

See Tommi's last post for the participants.

deb, 3 days is not a lot of time to do this project and get it out on time for everyone. I wish you luck.

Katniss · 09-03-2014, 06:55 AM

I still haven't received the matchboxes I ordered and have decided to protest the vendor as I used PayPal for the transaction. I ordered them back on July 27 so this is ridiculous!

However, in the spirit of "let no good project go unfinished," I went and got jewelry boxes that are close to the size I needed. It's a rush and not what I envisioned but I will have mine out and ready to go by Sept. 13th.
