Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types

[nycfem]

I received FireSignFemme's cards today, and WOW, just WOWWIEEEEEEEEE! (and I don't think I've ever said that word in my life)

[nycfem]

Please send a minimum of 12 cards (more if you want), as we have 13 total participants.


This is a winter holiday post secret round wrangled by moi. Winter holiday including a choice of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas / Hanukah, etc. The secret could be anything related to your experiences or feelings about the holiday(s), past, present, or future. To look at examples, google images for "postsecret Halloween" or "postsecret Thanksgiving" (etc.). Lots of room for creativity! Make at least 1 for each person. That translates to: Include at least 12 postcards in the package you mail to me.

Please include 5$ with your project for my mailing costs. Do NOT send me a package that requires signature upon delivery.

Projects are due to me by Nov. 30th. You have a week grace period but after that, your project turns into firewood and you don't get your package of projects that others made you. You also won't be able to participate again for 6 months.

You can sign your name on your postsecret postcards or keep them anonymous. You can designate who you want to receive each card, or let me decide. Special points to anyone who let's me decide. Because that's fun! If you do want a specific person to get the card, write their name on the back of the card or put it in a little plastic bag labeled with "To so-and-so."

You can make all your postcards the same or all different. Postcard size can be whatever, just don't do anything crazy or heavy.

Please don't send me anything from a smoking home, perfumey, or with unsealed glitter

They're off!! And... I guess "2-day" actually means Friday!

[nanners]

Still working on mine,
they should be in the mail on Saturday. Sorry they'll be there late, but within grace period.

[Gemme]

I forgot to post! Mine should be there tomorrow.

Off topic: Does anyone have knowledge about glues that work well with glass? I am looking to glue some glass vials to wood. My ideas are: E6000, resin, or diamond glaze. I actually think resin that's been sitting around a while and thick but not set is the best choice. But wanted to hear ideas!

I haven't had any experience with the latter two. E6000 is supposed to be good on pretty much anything. It does seem to stick but requires a special touch to not get everything all messy. Of course, that's my personal experience and I tend to work messy anyway, so take that with a grain of salt.

There is a product called Gallery Glass that is intended for making "stained glass", but it is basically glue that you apply to clear glass. There are lots of colors, but there is a clear color that dries transparent. You can also use it to attach "gems"/cabochons to glass. I don't know how much weight it would support, but if the vials are light, and meant to hold something light, it ought to work fine. A small bottle should only cost about $3.

I am only awaiting Nanners, Tommi, GeorgiaMa'am (what's your status, GeorgiaMa'am?) and TS Kajira, and they've all checked in and are accounted for (i.e. they will be in my greedy little hands soon).

Gemme's arrived. Hysterical and unusual (plus included a gift for the wrangler so what's not to love). My only concern is that they sound like a secret I'd have so I'm a little worried that people will think they are my secret, but ::shrug:: anonymous projects work that way!

Lyte's arrived. O. M. G. Lyte made ALL different ones, and they're each masterpieces! Wow! They are really amazing!!!

Well, these packages are gonna blow you away, folks! They are seriously FUN and juicy and jam-packed with a variety of laughter, true confessions, depth, and things that make you go hmmmm...

I can't wait until I get the last few so I can send 'em on out to you!!!

Thank you! They could all have been be the same?! Iol Actually... I wasn't sure what the heck to do so I figured different meant I might hit the mark on a few! . I definitely wasn't sure about the "secret" element. Kinda winged that part too!

I'm real excited to see what everyone else has done!
