It really feeds my heart and soul to be up to my elbows in paint and glue and pretty paper, making things. Having the excuse of sending it to this community, that has been a source of joy, support, community, and comfort for so long makes it even better. Count me in on the next one. Maybe a spring/summer theme?

I know, riiiight!?! This has been a welcome reprieve from the craziness of the world.

I'm looking forward to the next one as well.

I am considering wrangling next one......let me have some time for my head to heal up more, get my med regimen stable, and pontificate on themes. I kind of, sort of, perhaps, have an idea or 3!

NOTHING to start til POST Turkey Day & Santa Claus. (on my part).

Let me say, I was so going to add $7 as we know from multiple experiences, postage is always more, even when we do flats.

I PROPOSE, we do NOT do any projects with big embellishes for that reason It is just NOT feasible, I have/did stand in line, trying to pay extra, a LOT EXTRA, once before or twice.

Just my professional (right, ??!!) opine...what say ye, crafty peeps....

Hey, hey....we already have a wrangler candidate! I love our little group.

I agree that it would be good to do something after the holidays but if you are willing and able, please don't wait too long to offer an idea. We've got the bug again and I know my fingers aren't the only ones wanting to tinker in my crafty bits.

I wouldn't want to do all, or even most projects on a large scale, but I don't want to limit us.

(Off topic: I cannot WAIT to get our projects! I got a package with no return address today that was flat and the right size, and I thought, "Wow, that was quick!" I was so disappointed when I opened it and found a pair of earrings - even though I really do want the earrings, but I could have waited a little longer for those. )

Agreed. We have never really done HUGE projects but sometimes they can get hefty with embellishments and general accoutrements and I also don't want to completely eliminate the possibility of them but it would definitely be a case by case kind of thing and anyone that does add a wee bit more than the project called for would be expected to include more postage. It's only fair.

It'll come in a standard 6x9 manila envelope that says HANDLE WITH CARE and has washi tape on it. Every package has a different design for the washi tape. No earrings but that would be an interesting project would it not?
