Girl Friday, can you PM Rain and me your new address? Also, can you post on the thread when you receive the tins?

So obviously I might be late with my tins but I'll finish the project anyway (if that's okay with everyone). Any distraction I can manage right now is a good one. I need them. I need them badly.

The box arrived today! The person who took over my space is going to overnight it to me on Monday. I'll get to work ASAP. Am I doing 7 or 8 tins?

We don't have a "next project" scheduled. Sometime I'd like to wrangle a third annual "post secret" project (based on http://www.postsecret.com for those not familiar). But that doesn't need to be the next project. It can be anytime.

I will leave your other questions to the others

Is this still a thought floating around in your madly creative mind? When were you thinking of doing it? I'm asking because the site reference you provided is AMAZING and I'd love to be part of something that beautiful.

Oh wow! I just saw this. That's awesome. I just bought myself a membership recently but haven't added any pictures. Maybe Unkle Tommi will know how.

I haven't mailed my letters yet. I feel like they need something else but I don't know what. I will decide tonight hopefully (after Pride I might just have to pass out instead) and mail on Monday.

I can't wait to see pics of your store!

WingsOnFire · 06-17-2012, 11:40 AM

This looks WONDERFUL......you rock

Soft*Silver · 06-17-2012, 09:03 PM

someone commented (very nicely too!) about some articles needing pressed. I have a steamer on order and its arriving this/next week. Another reason I am not doing the grand opening yet. LOL

I am also looking for artists to consign "gifts items" in my shop. I know the holidays are going to be a hot time for me to sell them but I want people to get use to seeing them in my shop. So if you make soaps, jewerly, cards, TINS, etc, let me know and we can talk about how we can do this...

LadyRain · 06-18-2012, 08:47 AM

I see the post office line in my future...................

The Premiere Gathering went very well! I got alot of visitors, and they filled out evaluations, ate cookies, shopped, stayed to visit, met each other, laughed, swapped phone numbers, became friends! It was wonderful! Everything I hoped it would be! Such joy!

And I am exhausted! The shop looked wonderful, the racks were full, the place was spotless! One of my customers brought in "P" shaped cookies, in pink and green, for my colors of Pretty and Plus! That was so thoughful and caring!

I am going to play mahjong all day and take the day off from the shop and tomorrow, hit the racks and get ready for the grand opening!

Would love to help with that! I love making cards but end up with more than I can use. Will give me a reason to post again.

Congratulations with the soft opening, Miss Tia! So happy your shop is off to a great start and that you have so much support from the community!! Way to go, lady!!!!!

Tommi, I'm sending you my contribution to the Pen Pal Reunion Raffle Basket. Thanks for coordinating

. I'm thinking we can all post what we are including in case anyone wants to think of new ideas that are not already included:

Jennifer's contribution to the Pen Pal Raffle Basket:

1) 1 New Barbie, dressed, (knock off but nice), ready for altering
2) "Miso Pretty" stationary with envelopes (gorgeous illustration)
3) Ultra Mini crafts clothespins
4) "Emily the Strange" stationary with envelopes (OMG, if you don't know this brand, it's one of my faves, dark and alternative, I collect anything this brand)
5) Hello Kitty tin of "Favorite Flavors" Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, because a crafter must snack
6) "iwako" brand "Lucky Cat" 3-D eraser (I collect iwako, so cute!)
7) Cinnamonangels "Shhh... Cross your heart and promise you'll never tell" mini box of stationary sheets (Sanrio brand, and box is super cute)
8) Sanrio brand "Cinnamoroll, the shopping wonder pup" journal (Theme: "There's just no stopping when friends go shopping!). Pages are big and could also be used as individual stationary sheets because each page is crazy cute!
9) Hot Chocolate stick for the wrangler aka the fabulous Tommi (Stir it into a cup of hot milk and you'll have yourself some soothing hot chocolate)
