A long time ago we did a postcard list. I really enjoyed that. But I’ve never wrangled anything.

How about an Autumn, Fall Harvest, Halloween whatever, in that vein card exchange? I don't have the energy, funds to do a craft project now but cards I could manage. Mine would be store bought, well Etsy bought but those who wanted to could make theirs if they were up to it, feeling crafty. Postcards would work. What are people's thoughts?

It would be really nice to have a seasonal/holiday card exchange!

I would definitely participate! I can’t wrangle because my job is overwhelming. I’m so busy in a good kind away but I really don’t have the mind energy to devote to any other project but work But yes, I will participate!

Any sort of fall themed card. Though it would be nice it wouldn't have to be a holiday card. Just anything to do with fall, Autumn each person deciding for themselves what they'd like to send. If someone wants to make theirs or include anything go for it! Just nothing that would require more than a standard postage stamp or two to mail out and nothing that wouldn't mail out flat. Well those are my thoughts but I'd like to hear from others and in the end have group consensus rule the day.

Thanks for wrangling, Gemme, and thanks for the idea, FSF.

I'm in and am open to the parameters.

Good ideas, FSF.

I definitely agree that each person's contribution should be flat and easy to mail.

For those that haven't participated in one of these kind of round robin-esque projects before, as the wrangler, everyone would need to get their names and mailing addresses to me by a specific date. Once all projects are in to me, I repackage them and re-mail so that everyone gets one from everyone else by a pre-determined date. This ensures that everyone gets a piece in a timely manner. Each participant would send me funds to cover the re-mail. In the past, it's typically been $5 for smaller projects. This covers not only the new postage but the repackaging materials (envelopes, tape, etc) the wrangler uses to get them back out.

I'm all about artistic freedom (and I'm not feeling the 'card' vibe at the moment) so I would suggest that as long as each person's contribution is no larger than 5x7 (can be smaller) and is flat with no embellishments that would hinder a flat mailer, all options are open.

Fall is my favorite season for certain so I love that but would like to suggest a general theme of "Changing Seasons". It's likely we won't do both a fall and winter project before the end of the year so those who love fall can lean into that and those who are excited about winter have options too. What say ye?

If everyone that wants to participate is open to these parameters, how about these dates?

Deadline for sign up: 10/24
Deadline to have projects in my greedy little hands: 11/12
Deadline for me to re-mail the projects out: 11/16

I want to give myself plenty of time to get everything organized and also to be able to dust everything with disinfectant spray before repackaging so for those who make their goodies, please seal it if the materials used are water-activated.

Plus, I think it would be really nice to get these back to you before Turkey Day.

Does this sound feasible? It is a shorter turn around than we typically do. If it's agreeable, I'll pop back in later tonight and put the official project parameter post up (and people will be able to sign up at that time). If there are any changes that need to be made, I can make adjustments or we can talk about it some more.

When signing up, PLEASE check to make sure you are quoting the most recent list before adding your name to ensure the list is accurate. I won't be chasing people. We're all grown ups, so if you want to participate, your name needs to be on the FINAL list. I will give a countdown before the final deadline and I 100% encourage you to reach out to any of our previous crafters who may not be aware that we're gearing up for a project now. The only caveat is if the list becomes too large, the funds may go up a smidge, but we would cross that bridge when we come to it.

I'm a little rusty, but I think I covered everything. Crafty veterans? Did I miss anything?

Since there's been no activity in here, I'll wait a day or two to see if there are any other suggestions, criticisms, comments, et cetera....but don't wait too long to sign up once the list goes up!

Sounds good to me. Oh I should mention, my cards are kind of creepy. So fair warning if you're not into that just let me know. I have lots of sun shiny happy stuff around here I could send too.

I love creepy AND sun shiny, so either or both is great for me.

I am definitely interested in participating, and I will sign up when you get ready, Gemme!

Default Changing Seasons Project

Changing Seasons Project

Those who love fall can lean into that and those who are excited about winter can go wild with all the crazy delights that winter brings.

Parameters:
  • must not be any larger than 5x7 but can be any size smaller
  • must be able to lay (lie?) flat (aka no embellishments that stick up off the piece)
  • can be anything (store purchased card, homemade ATC, an index card with charcoal sketches or crayon scribbles, et cetera) that is your interpretation of what the theme means to you
  • can be literal or abstract, light or dark, funny or serious
  • on the back of each piece, please have the project name, your screen name and if you want it to go to a particular person, that's person's screen name...pieces with no specific recipient listed will be assigned by the wrangler after a rousing game of Eeny, Meeny, Miney and Mo.

Once the list is finalized, you will send me one piece for every other person on the list. If we get 9 sign ups, you need to send me 8, unless you want one of yours back and then you will send 9 in this example.

Each participant will also include $5 for postage and repackaging materials.

Deadline for sign up: 10/24
Deadline for receipt of projects (NOT the deadline for mailing them out...I need to RECEIVE them by this date): 11/12
Deadline for me to re-mail the projects out: 11/16


Projects are officially late if they do not arrive via USPS, UPS or FedEx by 5pm EST on November 12th. It's a Saturday. Once the deadline for sign up ends, I will get the address to send the pieces to all of the participants. Please keep in mind that November 11th is election day and that may affect delivery services in some areas.

Some things to consider....not everyone loves glitter. If you have glitter on your piece, please make sure it's sealed so it doesn't get loose and attack. Also, if the pieces are created in a smoking environment, some of our crafters are sensitive to smoke. I will air out what I can, and all pieces will be dusted with Lysol but please be considerate and try to not send strongly scented pieces out.

When signing up, PLEASE check to make sure you are quoting the most recent list before adding your name to ensure the list is accurate. I won't be chasing people. We're all grown ups, so if you want to participate, your name needs to be on the FINAL list. I will give a countdown before the final deadline and I 100% encourage you to reach out to any of our previous crafters who may not be aware that we're gearing up for a project now. The only caveat is if the list becomes too large, the funds may go up a smidge, but we would cross that bridge when we come to it.

Newbies, please read the next section carefully. We've done many, many projects over the years and for several years, we did back to back to back projects each year so we have a LOT of experience with our project rounds and all that can go wrong with them.

Due to inconsistencies with life, unexpected events and sometimes just the carelessness of some of the participants, we had to draft rules to ensure there would be consequences for those who seem to drop the ball with getting their projects completed and/or received in time, which can be hurtful for those who put effort into their work and got their things in on time. This isn't a work or school environment but a deadline is a deadline and a promise is still a promise and putting your name on the is a promise to all of the other participants that you will participate fully.

RULES AS AGREED UPON TO BE ADDED AT THE END OF EACH PROJECT:
"For 2022, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until six months from the latest date that the project was supposed to be due. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting six months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project for 2022. If that is not done, then the member is welcome to participate in the thread with "thanks" and reps and thread chat but not to participate in any future projects for 2023. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules.

Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in 2022 and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this:

'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/21/22. I can start participating in new projects on 8/21/22. I have added myself to the list below:

1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/22, able to participate 7/28/22)
2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/21/22, able to participate 8/21/22)'

This rule must be posted in its entirety at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project."

Changing Seasons Project

Those who love fall can lean into that and those who are excited about winter can go wild with all the crazy delights that winter brings.

Parameters:
  • must not be any larger than 5x7 but can be any size smaller
  • must be able to lay (lie?) flat (aka no embellishments that stick up off the piece)
  • can be anything (store purchased card, homemade ATC, an index card with charcoal sketches or crayon scribbles, et cetera) that is your interpretation of what the theme means to you
  • can be literal or abstract, light or dark, funny or serious
  • on the back of each piece, please have the project name, your screen name and if you want it to go to a particular person, that's person's screen name...pieces with no specific recipient listed will be assigned by the wrangler after a rousing game of Eeny, Meeny, Miney and Mo.

Once the list is finalized, you will send me one piece for every other person on the list. If we get 9 sign ups, you need to send me 8, unless you want one of yours back and then you will send 9 in this example.

Each participant will also include $5 for postage and repackaging materials.

Deadline for sign up: 10/24
Deadline for receipt of projects (NOT the deadline for mailing them out...I need to RECEIVE them by this date): 11/12
Deadline for me to re-mail the projects out: 11/16


Projects are officially late if they do not arrive via USPS, UPS or FedEx by 5pm EST on November 12th. It's a Saturday. Once the deadline for sign up ends, I will get the address to send the pieces to all of the participants. Please keep in mind that November 11th is election day and that may affect delivery services in some areas.

Some things to consider....not everyone loves glitter. If you have glitter on your piece, please make sure it's sealed so it doesn't get loose and attack. Also, if the pieces are created in a smoking environment, some of our crafters are sensitive to smoke. I will air out what I can, and all pieces will be dusted with Lysol but please be considerate and try to not send strongly scented pieces out.

When signing up, PLEASE check to make sure you are quoting the most recent list before adding your name to ensure the list is accurate. I won't be chasing people. We're all grown ups, so if you want to participate, your name needs to be on the FINAL list. I will give a countdown before the final deadline and I 100% encourage you to reach out to any of our previous crafters who may not be aware that we're gearing up for a project now. The only caveat is if the list becomes too large, the funds may go up a smidge, but we would cross that bridge when we come to it.

Newbies, please read the next section carefully. We've done many, many projects over the years and for several years, we did back to back to back projects each year so we have a LOT of experience with our project rounds and all that can go wrong with them.

Due to inconsistencies with life, unexpected events and sometimes just the carelessness of some of the participants, we had to draft rules to ensure there would be consequences for those who seem to drop the ball with getting their projects completed and/or received in time, which can be hurtful for those who put effort into their work and got their things in on time. This isn't a work or school environment but a deadline is a deadline and a promise is still a promise and putting your name on the is a promise to all of the other participants that you will participate fully.

RULES AS AGREED UPON TO BE ADDED AT THE END OF EACH PROJECT:
"For 2022, the rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until six months from the latest date that the project was supposed to be due. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting six months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project for 2022. If that is not done, then the member is welcome to participate in the thread with "thanks" and reps and thread chat but not to participate in any future projects for 2023. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules.

Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in 2022 and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this:

'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/21/22. I can start participating in new projects on 8/21/22. I have added myself to the list below:

1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/22, able to participate 7/28/22)
2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/21/22, able to participate 8/21/22)'

This rule must be posted in its entirety at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project."
