The Belated Bèsame* Lost and Found Valentine are in today's mail.
Bèsame*, accept my apology and your package is en route this AM.

The B.*extra's will go to the Military with another round of mail today too.

[Katniss]

I just want to take a little moment to say a big thank-you to all the "wranglers" out there. It's one thing for me to get my project in on time and quite another to ride herd on everyone else's as well. Even when things don't go as smoothly as planned (no good deed goes unpunished and all that) I very much appreciate all the time y'all put into organizing things!

I thank you soooooo much Tommi!!! I'm feeling the love now

P.s.....every one bee careful when you open them.

So I have a question/s about the swap -- Do we have to do 13+ half sheets or just 1 and it will just be swapped with another folk? I understand we need to make an extra for M/J (no clarity on that). And does it have to be that large?? Could we have something like 5x7 or 4x6??

Thanks.

[nycfem]

Bumping the original post. ahk, it looks like we send nanners one for each person on the list and one extra for M&J.

Here it is!

For many of us, it’s been a long hard and very cold winter. I’m trying to make myself happy by thinking about spring and renewal of life, new beginnings and getting inspired to grow in many ways. The theme of this project is about just that! What inspires you, brings you back to life after a low point, what renews you, makes you grow?

Take your favorite quote, song, or idea, and put it into an art form.

Size: 8 ½ by 5 ½ (this would be a half sheet of cardstock, or a half piece of copier paper)

Somewhere on this (can be the back) have the quote, song or idea written down.

Have fun!

These will need to be sent so I have them by March 21st. Please include $3-$5 for postage.

As many people may sign up as want to.

I would like everyone to make one extra, to send to Medusa and Jack for all the hard work they put into this space where we come together and form lasting friendships. <3

I will PM each participant my snail mail address on the sign up deadline which is Feb. 23rd.


(List)

(add the next number if you need to!)

ahk, Tommi is correct, we will be making one for each person participating plus an extra one for Medusa & Jack. I am going to say this about the size, because there is a chance someone has started this already, I will keep it the same. However, if anyone wants to make them 5 X 7 because it will work better for your art, I will accept it! This is all about having fun!

Tommi, so glad you found the missing Valentines! I look forward to getting mine!

Thanks for the clarification. and to NYCFEM too! But since, there is not a limit on how many folks are signing up, I'm just going to have to back out on this project. Maybe next time when its a smaller group or a smaller project.

Sorry--I'm out, too. I misunderstood the rules as well and just can't make 13+ pieces of that size.

Hopefully next time, and enjoy everyone.

ahk and CCB, I am so sorry you're out...but it is a lesson I'm learning on my first wrangling, and I agree with you that the size of the group might have been better off a limited number. Next time. I don't feel I can change that at this point since thre are 2 more days to sign up and I feel the need to stick to my word in case there was any other BFP artists thinking about participating. If no one else signs up and you choose to come back, it's OK. Thanks for the lesson!

For those who choose to address their cards to specific people, somewhere along the way, Ts_kaijira's screen name got misspelled. There are i's before and after the j.

Thanks Gemme! I think that was my fault when I redid the list when I took my name off. Sorry Ts_kaijira.

[nycfem]

"stephfordfemme" should be "stepfordfemme

Final count is 11, so everyone will make 11. Sending out the PM with my address in a minute!
