Do you have to receive the shrines BY the 20th or must the postdate on the projects be no later than the 20th?

I forgot.

candy_coated_bitch · 06-14-2015, 01:09 PM

Post dated by the twentieth. I don't need to receive them by the 20th, just have them in the mail by then.

nycfem · 06-14-2015, 08:17 PM

For my shrines, I made "pulls" for opening them but I caution to please push from the back as you open with the pull so that the pull does not come off-- because the matchboxes are pretty tight (with art) and stuffed-- so it's all kind of a fragile deal!

CCB, I'm mailing you sometime this week. I am mailing the money separately in a sticker decorated envelope!

This project was the bomb dot com!

Agreed to all aspects.

If they made the inner box just a wee bit smaller, it would be better to accommodate the layers of paint and fluff and stuff.

I'm worried about some of my parts shifting in the mail so don't be surprised if each box is triple or even quadruple wrapped.

ahk's shrine has a part that I purposefully did not fasten down but it shouldn't create too much of a problem in shipping. Just be aware that that is intentional.

if you open my box and it smells a bit like surf and turf and burnt sugar it is becasue Gemme's spontaniously combusted.

candy_coated_bitch · 06-15-2015, 12:08 PM

I'm very excited to see these shrines. Spontaneously combusted?

I also wanted to give a gentle reminder about including some money to help with shipping costs. $5 would be most helpful. Please and thank you.

Noted. I believe this is a cautionary so I'm not all

to you later.

CCB, when will you be sending out the swaps after you receive them? 1 week, a few days, 9 days, 2 weeks, the next monday?

Nope, not at all! To be honest, your shrine was going sideways and downhill really fast but then a miracle happened and POOF! it was gorgeous and just right. It's my favorite as of this very moment.

I've fallen into the same Zen pit that CCB was in earlier but I have faith that it will all work out in the end. And, if it sucks that bad, I have a package of 20 other boxes to start over with.

So many recipes, so little time. I can't make up my mind on what recipes to use.

I know! I think I have a theme, but then I find a recipe I don't want to leave out!

GeorgiaMa'am · 06-16-2015, 10:41 AM

I developed a new recipe that I'm going to include! It's just a variation on an oldie but goodie, but it's perfect for summer. <Beaming proudly!>

I have to admit, most of the work I have done on this project so far involves cooking and eating.

clay · 06-16-2015, 12:53 PM

This has been such a fun project. Besame! I have 8 recipes....ENOUGH already! I did 5 & my honey wanted to put in 3 of hers!

there has been some testing along the way...I'll agree to that over here!

It will be fun enjoying everyone's favorites!

I will mail them within a couple days of receiving the last shipment. It should be a quick turnaround. I'm going to allow a good week for them to arrive (June 27th), then get them ready to send out. I will keep you updated as I receive them and hopefully the boxes will get to me in a timely manner. If they are all here early--I'll ship early.

I'm feeling like a slacker as I only have FOUR recipes. However, one of them is an original (I won 1st place for desserts and 1st place overall!)!

I braved a downpour to get to the post office at lunch today. Mine are on the way! I sent them in a priority package, so I hope you'll have it by the end of the week. ($5 included)

CCB - I really enjoyed this project. I would like to do this over and over with different themes! I went a little crazy with Jenn's. My sister was around when I was making them and she kept saying that the burger one was hilarious, which is NOT what I was going for! So, I made some alterations, but I guess we'll see.

I'm sorry my theme has turned out to be difficult. I was torn between Zen and Steampunk. Maybe steampunk would have been easier. See, we need to do another round!

ahk · 06-17-2015, 02:34 PM

I say we do another round!! I have some new ideas too-- that involve ATC (artist trading cards).

But I wanted to talk with CCB about it first-- with details.
