I am good with the push back as I was unsure of the date.
Where are we sending everything to you ahk? or are we getting addresses?


I am hoping my jewelry will be there this week before I move. I am out of the city until Thursday so that gives it lots of time and I leave on Sunday. Looking forward to it as I have heard wonderful things about all the pieces.

[ahk]

I will be sending the addresses to you--
Soon-- I promise.

Thanks for being patient --

Just photographs of your "world" -- could be something like pics through out your day :

what you ate for breakfast?
a pic on your way to work?
a pic of your desk?
a pic of lunch?
etc etc-- have fun with it!

[deb0670]

ok, so, take a pic, put a stamp on it and send it that way? or take a pic, attach it to a note card or post card, and send it?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I love my bracelets and book mark, my silver caged river rock is awesome and I adore my cephalopod.

I appreciate everyone's hard work! Again thank you for sharing with me!

love, Sherrie

yep, yep, yep, and yep-- you can do it any of these ways.

I usually just put a index on the back so I can write something and its a bit heavier and won't rip as easy going through mail, but you can do it any way you want.

have fun!

I'm going to have an individualized picture on one side and then write an individualized story to the receiver on the other side. I'm going to use pictures I've already taken and saved since I don't really take pictures much these days. I like to let things I've saved make their way out into the world.

Thanks for the fun project, ahk. It's nice to do something totally outside the holiday season

[nycfem]

Now I'm rethinking my idea...
Isn't that the best and hardest part of these projects

Reposting this so that it's near the top again, because I like to remind myself who my muses are and what the heck I'm doing

small post card exchange

Theme: Your World. You take a photograph of "your world" (could be your living room, your work space, your car, your family -- anything that you feel is part of you) and send it to each one who ever is joining.

The last one I did, I took several different pics, wrote on the back of what I was taking a pic of, and who I was, and sent them out randomly. If you use a reg size photo (4x6) all you would need is a postcard stamp --- (.32).

lets do it!!

Put the pictures on a stick and take them to Walmart or other such place or now you can send them from your computer to places like Walmart and Costco.

I agree.

This is not intended to be an expensive or time consuming project-- just have fun and share.

I will be putting the address list together today and send it out via email to everyone. Thought that if everyone could get their stuff sent out by November 3 -- that would be awesome.

If any new questions, let me know-- or ask Jennifer, I'm sure she'll help out or some how get a hold of me. My time is starting to get easier, I have one more day of classes this week (before I am off for 1 week) and my family is starting to finally being "normal" again-- So thank you everyone for being understanding and for the thoughts in the process. Much appreciated.

Best!

Being in Canada, we don't have the cheap postcard rate. I am going to print the pictures on paper and pop them in an envelope.
I got the mailing list today so this is on my list of things to do before I head out of town.

I think I want to put my whatever-they-turn-out-to-bes in envelopes too. I don't want them exposed to the elements!

[SingularNYCFemme]

Oh, and I forgot: I might need a bit of patience too. Some family issues as well as personal health issues have come up big time this week, so I might need an extra day or two to get these out to everyone. But I WILL do this project, I'm determined!

[laruss]

I printed my pictures today. Will get them sent out before I leave town on Sunday. Quite proud of myself to be getting so much accomplished in this crazy hectic week.

[laruss]

Printed and ready to go, I just need to address them. I will get that done tomorrow and pop them in the mail on my way out of town. Looking forward to seeing everyones pictures.

Oh, and my jewelry package arrived here this week, I will get it tomorrow. Super excited to see what everyone made.
