Hi All,

My package will going out Monday for delivery on Wednesday the 13th. The pieces really needed more time to cure (it's been humid in these parts) so I felt it was better to hang onto them awhile longer and let them air out some more. But, they will be there.

Bèsame* · 07-11-2016, 07:28 PM

Two packages arrived today! It's getting closer

Thank you CCB and Gemme. Amazing how many ways a CD can be used. Great idea Breathless! !!!

GeorgiaMa'am · 07-13-2016, 09:59 AM

Bèsame*,

FedEx tracking says my package is on the truck for delivery, and you will receive it by 8:00 p.m. today.

Thanks so much for co-wrangling!

Bèsame* · 07-14-2016, 09:49 AM

Oh the CD talent!

I've received all the US packages. I'm waiting on tracking info.

I'll get what I have out by the weekend.

Who has ideas for our next project????

Toska · 07-14-2016, 11:20 PM

Let me apologize in advance if it looks like I'm hijacking the thread. This the most appropriate and active discussion I can stick this in. Also, BFP does not let you start threads until you have at least 30 posts under your belt.

This is a painting I did after an intro to acrylics class. I'm a doodler mostly; drawing on scrap paper during breaks. More dilettante-hobbyist than serious artist. This was my first real attempt at a "proper" piece of art.

I haven't done much painting since then. Lately I've been getting that creative itch but I'm not doing much to scratch it. Perhaps I need a little inspiration from the BFP community?

It would be wonderful if the forum had a sticky thread dedicated to users posting their creations. Whether it be a scribble on a post-it note or some epic brush stroke-for-brush stroke reproduction of a work by one of the old masters... or even an adorable bento box lunch. I would certainly be much better to post them in the forum than in the limited space of the BFP gallery.

I would love to see your art!

Toska · 07-14-2016, 11:41 PM

Oops, after some more browsing I found out there was a relevant thread, several in fact, under the ART topic.

Hey, you're only one post away from being able to start your own thread, if you'd like to do that or you can add to one of the art threads you found. Keep those creative juices flowing!

This is a good question! Is there anyone with an idea burning in your brain or do you have a thought about something you'd like to try? I always have ideas but I like to hear what others are thinking and contemplating.

There is also a section in the picture gallery to post pictures of everyone's final product. Tommi started it I think after I bugged everyone to post pictures.

It really only happened once or twice but I would still love to see the final products.

I am not arty or crafty so I don't participate but it would be nice to see the artwork anyway.

Viewing art is another way to participate (hint, hint).

Ok, the weekend has come and past. I have yet to receive the package from Canada.

Tracking was followed up until the border. I haven't heard anything else. I'm keeping everyone informed.

Thanks for the update.

Do we know when (date) package was mailed? Just a thought... She should have an option to be able to track it past the border I would think....so we at least have some idea of when we can expect our returned projects.
I had a toll free number to call when I shipped mine to Canada on the previous project!!!

sis received mine 07/18/16...so was 12 days from when I shipped it til she got it.

clay · 07-19-2016, 10:11 AM

I really enjoyed these, in no particular order:

Paper mosaic with a theme

ATC's

Recipe Book for Summertime recipes

Post Secrets was especially a favorite....

ATC's: Artist Trading Cards...these are usually a 2.5"x3.5" cards...and there are a whole host of sizes now (inchies, rinches, etc) that can be done. If you google them, you can see so many variations.

Post Secrets are secrets one writes on a postcard to a receiver. The secrets can be written anonymously OR one can sign them.

postsecrets.com is a website you can visit & see the samples done on them. That site is usually updated every Sunday!

You would enjoy them both, FSF! Thank you for the interest!!

Gemme will be along & she will have much more info on these two projects....she is a whiz like that.... Thanks Gemme!!!!

ATCs are Artist Trading Cards, which are 2.5 inch by 3.5 inch pieces of art. Post Secrets are a project where people mail in secrets, funny or serious or mundane, on post cards. Both are awesome, awesome projects!

Here are some links:

New secrets are updated every Sunday here.

I am down for either of these projects!
