Yes, this is correct. It's 5 dollars total- it does not go up (Just repeating clay and CCB, lol). And sorry if I made it confusing before. Sometimes it's hard to figure out how to phrase things

New project (Everyone welcome, you do NOT need any artistic ability, just be reliable and enthusiastic -that's what we care about):

Sign-up in progress:

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.

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

Sign up will close this Sunday. 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

Since we are not giving each other cards as in "I wish you a ...." it doesn't really matter what our personal holidays are in regard to receiving cards from other people. Google "postsecret" along with the name of a holiday for ideas .

I spent the afternoon putting the finishing touches on all 12 post cards and have them ready to mail out to you Jenny, by Wednesday (of this week).

I'll zip an note to you with the USA tracking number for the small media envelope, too!

[Kätzchen]

I mailed my small package of Post Secret holiday post cards off, by first class mail this morning, and I sent the USPS tracking number to Jenny ..... you should receive it by this Saturday!

I hope everyone in the group enjoys the cards I made for each of you....and I hope all of you enjoy the season of holidays ahead.

Season's Greetings
🎀🎁🎀🎁🎀🎁🎀

So I got a bunch of those blank postcards and am making my own. I'm realizing that the art doesn't really resemble a holiday. It's just the secret that has to be holiday themed, right?

ETA: I guess I could make them Halloween-ish if need be

Re-reading nyc's directions and bolding/underlining the germane part, I'd say the crux of it is the secret itself. The artwork would be bonus deliciousness. Go on with yer bad self, missy miss.

Awesome, thanks you two! I figured it was like a post card one might buy--the front may not exactly match the secret.

[Lyte]

Well... dunno if I'll be doing it right but at least it'll be fun for me to make and (hopefully) amusing to others!
