Thanks for the update.
By all means, please send mine on to GeorgiaMa'am!! I am amenable to "no time out" for her...she has had a really challenging year....with an aging, dementia mother, lost her doggy, and her partner of 17years!! NONE of those are of her own volition...so, yes, "circumstances beyond her cntrol!

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes and support. You all are very generous about the offer for a reprieve from the naughty list, and I will gratefully accept whatever everyone decides. I love working on our projects and receiving everyone else's work. I just don't want anyone to feel slighted, because I think sometimes we all have had circumstances that are overwhelming and out of our control.
I did get a chance to take pictures of the projects I made before they were lost, and if I have your phone number I have already or will shortly send you a pic of the one I made for you. I know it's not the same as having the actual piece, but if you would like your pic and haven't gotten one from me in the next couple of hours or so, please PM me your phone number and I will text it to you. (((Hugs everyone)))

Delivered!
According to USPS Tracking everyone except Nina03 got their pacakages today. Nina03, yours will be delivered tomorrow or Wednesday.
Are we ready to start the next project? Also should we have a conversation about amending the rules for people being late with their projects? Thanks GeorgiaMa'am for the picture of the zentangle! |

Wow! I got my package of projects and all I could say as I looked at each one was "Wow!!!" They are all so amazing. Now I'm inspired to see how I can better incorporate color into my Zentangles. I've never quite known how to begin, but now I want to move on. Thank you everybody for sending them to me, and for making them for me.

I got my package yesterday and they were beautiful! Thank you everyone for sharing your art.
I'd volunteered to wrangle the next one, and my suggestion was decorated recipe cards. I'm also open to any other ideas. For a timeline say a month from the close of sign up? Also, in terms of the naughty list, I feel like the death of a close family member, hospitalization, or severe weather that closes down the post office all count as "out of someone's control." There are probably things I'm missing, but those should all be on the list. As for asking for that space to miss or be late, I think that we are all adults and it should just be the honor system. Nobody should have to prove what they're saying. I'm interested in everyone else's thoughts. I like this crafty community so much. |

I'd rather pick another project than have you unable to participate. How about any of these as themes?? Water (oceans, lakes, rivers, beaches, fish, whatever tickles you) Home Transitions Flowers/ trees anything that grows in the summer Let's do the size as big as 8.5 × 11, and no smaller than 5×5. Must be flat, but can be decorated any way you want. Do any of those themes sound good to everyone? It's really important to me that everyone is included who wants to be. |

An 8.5x11 project substrate would be ideal. AND, everyone knows how much I love anything to do with beaches, dolphins, etc... Freeform mediums are even better for me (I LOVE the paint chip projects, and using colors). With the wide parameters, I think I can make something, for sure! Thanks! See how everyone else feels.....get input!!! I want everyone else to want to participate as well!

Is this going to be a drawing or just free form do whatever you want as long as the theme is there? |

love the idea of a free for all in terms of what people make. This is a chance to go crazy as long as it's between 5x5 and 8.5x11 and flat. Also, please seal your glitter well! How much time should we give for a sign up deadline? |

FYI: Want to make sure no 3D type embellishments, etc...as those would be hard to mail back, require more special packaging for returns ($$).....surface has to be flat!!! Typically we allow 1 week for signups. 4 weeks to complete project date to have back to you and a 1 week "extra" before on naughty list. Thanks, nina03!!

Yay! I received mine last week. I love how we all have different ideas! My friends are just excited to see the finished art pieces. I carry them around for a week.
I'm loving the new idea, I promise to keep it flat, I'm thinking fabrics???

For some reason, I didn't have access to the site for a few days so pardon my delay in saying that the projects were nothing short of stunning. Georgia, the one you showed me is adorable! I love them all.
As for the current project on the table, Nature is great and very open as a theme and the size range of 5x5 to 8.5x11 gives us a lot of options as well. I would like to revisit the 'flat' discussion though. Nothing crazy like 3D flowers or anything but what popped in my head initially would add a wee bit of height to parts of the piece. Like a puffy sticker kind of height. Nothing that would increase volume significantly or add too much to the weight or increase $$$ investment for anyone. Would anyone have an issue with that? |

New Summer Project!
It's time for the new project! The theme is NATURE. Interpret that however you like.
Animals? Trees? Waterways? Fishies? Birds? All of it is good, and anything else you can think of that fits the theme. Size range is 5x5 up to 8.5x11. Keep it relatively flat, think no fatter than puffy stickers, or fabric. Use any medium you want. Paint, collage, fabric art, embroidery, drawing, do whatever you are inspired to do. Contain your glitter in some fashion, please. Send $10 with your projects for shipping. Sign ups open right now, and close in one week, by the end of the day on 6/27/23. Projects due on 7/25/23, and late if not here by the end of the day on 8/1/23. 1. Nina03 2. Clay 3. 4. 5. 6. |

If someone could please add me to this project I would greatly appreciate it. I’m so bummed that I missed out on the zentangles. That is a big favorite of mine. For some reason I don’t get notifications for this thread in my email inbox. Grrr… now to be fair Clay actually sent me a text telling me about the project, but somehow I expected Clay to give me a second nudge and really baby me like clay did the project before. Thankfully, Nanners and Clay have been pushing me for this one. TBH, I can never get enough reminders from everyone. I hate private messages, but please text me to the max! It helps! As far as giving reprieves, maybe we should do a general reprieve for everyone and start from zero again? Also, thank you for not making things totally flat but more within reason. I like the flexibility.
