Ps. How many do I need completed?

nanners · 04-11-2013, 06:20 PM

Hi everyone! I am a creative femme and I would love to participate in the next project (if there is going to be one that is)! I love meeting new friends and getting cool things in the mail, but even more so I love sending things in the mails to delight other people!

laruss · 04-12-2013, 01:09 PM

Did mine get there yet?

nycfem · 04-12-2013, 06:04 PM

Not yet, I'll post when I receive anyone's cards.

nycfem · 04-15-2013, 04:02 PM

now only awaiting cards from pajama and ahk

received Laruss- they are all truly special (enjoyed every which one), and thanks for the card

ahk · 04-18-2013, 04:27 PM

Mine are in the mail-- just went out.

Wryly · 05-05-2013, 11:46 AM

Has a new exchange been decided or arranged? I would like to participate if possible.

nycfem · 05-05-2013, 12:54 PM

No new project yet, still finishing up the "post secret" one.

ahk mailed his (I will post when I receive)

pajama to mail by May 15th (extended deadline)

everyone else's projects: I have and they are all so original and heartfelt and wonderful!

LaneyDoll · 05-26-2013, 08:29 PM

Do we have a status on this yet?

nycfem · 05-27-2013, 05:37 AM

Yes, awaiting one person- in contact with them, should have and be able to send out by next weekend

So there was a glitch with the original cards that went out to NYCfem-- had to make 10 new cards, and as I was sending those away, I received the package just today. Not sure where it went - but it says 'return to sender' -- who knows. I sent the new cards out today--

Lets hope they make it this time---

Tommi · 06-03-2013, 11:04 PM

Okie doakie...It's getting close.
Are we ready for a new project. Any idea's. Any wrangler's.

sis · 06-03-2013, 11:13 PM

I'm really not in a position to be the Wrangler but I would love to participate in an exchange that has a much quicker turnaround. (I actually have lived in two countries since Post Secret started and plan on being in another one within a month! lolol)

Anyhow, I LOVED doing an Altoid tin several years ago and wouldn't mind doing another one. OR, if we chose to share ANY craft project, I could see myself crocheting a small blanket. I know, I know, perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but my not all projects are my cup of tea either. With summer coming, perhaps doing a single item and passing it along would be less intense/stressful than doing 10 items. Thoughts???

cara · 06-03-2013, 11:24 PM

Yes for quicker turnaround time in the future. Or at least be willing to start another project even if the last isn't complete. I do remember it got a bit sticky at one point, though. I don't know what a good solution would be.

I do have an idea for a future project. What if each of us wrote a letter to our future self and then send it sealed in a pre-paid envelope to the wrangler of the project. Then, a certain amount of time later (6 months?), the wrangler can send the letter back to each person who has participated?

Cara

Tommi · 06-03-2013, 11:40 PM

Sign ups. Closed date. send date.

I'm Ready...
.Hmm. I can't do quiting, or crochet. I send my shirts to the cleaners for buttons. Writing a letter, then waiting 6 months makes me twitch..

, but I could do it...

laruss · 06-04-2013, 01:10 PM

I would be in on the letter one and then we aren't waiting on people. Whoever sends them gets them back. No issues.

I would like to wrangle one as I have an idea I have been holding onto for months, but I was not in the position to wrangle it in January. Now I am ready. Let me know when I can take a turn.

So I am in and I am ready.

nycfem · 06-04-2013, 02:12 PM

I think it's a good time to start a new project. Everyone's ideas sound interesting

I guess whomever wants to start something up, just post it and we'll sign up!

laruss · 06-04-2013, 02:31 PM

Okay...

I do miniature watercolours and I got the idea from the Artist Trading Cards.
I would like us to do Artist Trading Cards with at least 2 mediums, mixed media style. That can mean 2 different types of paint, or embellish it with stones, glass, cut outs, photos, markers. The possibilities are endless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_trading_cards This is What Wiki says about the ATC's.

Here are some ideas. http://www.atcsforall.com/ there are no end of possibilities. You can search them out on the Internet or just make up your own.

They are 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" in size and you can buy them precut in every type of paper or you can cut your own.

We will take the first 12 people who want to join us.

This is a great project for me to wrangle as I have to send them out from Canada and our postage is much higher so this will be an inexpensive project.

If you are in please sign up and I will send you my address to send them to.

Deadline of July 11. You will only need to include $2 (and American is fine) in your envelope as they won't be to bad to send out. Unless you add heavy items to your cards, in which case $5-$10 would be appreciated.

I am looking forward to everyone's creativity.
