Nope. This is not acceptable. I think the final, hard deadline is the 13th to Besame in Texas, so unless you're sending it next day or second day, then the regular mail should go out on Saturday, the 9th.

You're not alone. I have had some excellent ideas but trouble with the execution so I'm doing some 11th hour changes too as well as logistics. Glue doesn't like to glue in 100 degree temps. Now that I have a band aid to the a/c problem in my home, I can try again.

Remember, each piece only needs to have at least one piece of the cd/dvd on it and it can be big or small. You can do pieces covered with broken pieces or have one whole chunk of the disc. The only hard rule is that it must have some form of a disc on it, as the theme is recycling and that's understood by the repurposing of the discs. You can even take a disc or a disc fragment and paint a picture on it. That would count too as you are using the disc for your base.

I wanted to try something along the lines of stained glass but I'm not heating up the apartment with the stove so that was, and still is, out of the question but if you have the materials, it's not too bad of a project if you keep it small.

If you look for recycled disc projects, most of them use the whole disc or do mosaics but those aren't too bad either.

Don't forget; others have posted that they had some misfires too. I think that this is an awesome project but it does have some trickery to it, depending on what you are trying.

You can do this, J!
