Sounds nice! Mine are almost done. I wanted to work on mine this weekend, but my home computer is with our tech department being updated with software. So I'll finish them up this week and next weekend.

I'm using both sides of my cards. For instance, I created phoney stamps on the to/from side. Is that okay? You're not putting stamps on these and sending these out individually, are you? Or do I need to keep the address part blank (I was using that part to write who it's going to). Thanks, nycfem

Orema, what you are doing sounds great! Of course, anyone can do them exactly how they wish!! I'll send them out as one package, not individually.

Fabulous! That's what I was hoping.

It does feel good to get them out! (Or in my case, get one out - mine are all the same.) I was kind of surprised by that. I'm still working on mine - I keep feeling like I can make it a little bit better if I keep working on it. I'll either be satisfied with them eventually, or I'll run out of time.

Working on mine...... Shhh....it's a secret!!!!!

Mine are in the mail

Gemme · 12-11-2015, 09:02 PM

Mine went out this afternoon.

Re: Postsecret project
I probably should have asked this sooner, but when I planned my project it seemed obvious that some secrets might be trigger-y. Mine could surely be seen by some as trigger-y. Should I offer to let people opt out of receiving mine? Should I package them individually in plain brown wrappers with a warning on the outside? Or am I worrying about a nonissue - does everyone assume they might be getting something trigger-y? nycfem, what do you want me to do?
Sorry I didn't think of this earlier.

nycfem · 12-12-2015, 03:10 AM

No, it can be assumed that for this project people have a good chance of receiving triggery cards. You do not need to label, wrap, etc. The postsecret site itself makes it clear that it's a place where you do get to release a real secret. Most of mine are definitely what would be deemed "triggery."

Mine are done! I couldn't sleep so I finished these up instead. I will put them in the mail later today or tomorrow.

nycfem · 12-15-2015, 06:05 AM

Gemme's cards arrived!

clay · 12-15-2015, 03:35 PM

My PostSecrets will go out tomorrow!!! Thank you nycfem!!!!

Bèsame* · 12-16-2015, 12:20 PM

This project stumped me. I think I've been thinking to hard on this. I have searched the web. Then I started listening to the trigger secret responses. I don't have any like that.

I went to what's going on in my life right now. Some of you know, some I will explain later too. But I have this now. It needs to be released 🎈🎈

I'm starting today. Christmas has been put to bed, so I have time now....

Orema · 12-21-2015, 06:24 AM

Is it okay to post this here? If not, just let me know

Thanks.
