Hello My Friend,

*smiles*.. I am glad you liked the jewelry. I hope you get some good bids with it at the actual auction. Have a great time with the company.

Jake.

Hi Everyone,

As to the project. .. purepisces has let Me know that the project was put on hold while I was away? yes? If so, where are we at with it...? Or would it be preferred that another wrangler be named and the project changed? Just let Me know. I will pick up where we left off.. if that is everyone's consensus.

Thanks,
Jake

The only rule is that you have to somehow incorporate a piece of a tree and some water into it. (I would like to see some browns and blues)... a piece of the tree..etc..You can also paint the index cards to match you theme using whatever you have handy...crayons, watercolors, oils, pastels, etc. I would like the tree and water parts to be three dimensional.

After you are done putting the card together. I would like a brief note to be written as to why this memory stands out in your childhood.

We will do 10 participants. Same rules will apply as to helping with postage as I send all of Mine out priority mail with iinsurance

Let your minds wander back to when you were young.. at a time when you had no cares in the and you were at one with the Earth..

I would like this to be a scene from one's childhood memory(memories).

It can be an index card, cardboard, etc... up to 5x7. (this is for mailing purposes).

I would like to see a tree and water incorporated into the scene. I would like the tree portion to be an actual piece of a tree. As for the water, I do understand the difficulty of "sending" water through the mail.. so I modified that to say that the water scene can be painted, colored by crayon, colored pencil, marker, whatever one wishes.

I would like the tree and water to be three dimensional. So that the tree and water part come away from the index card, cardboard, etc.. and can be seen.

If one does not wish to give a description of the childhood memory, I am absolutely fine with that. I did not realize until after that some may not want to share that memory in word form.

As for the comment about the blue and brown.. I would like to see those two colors incorporated.. along with ANY other colors one chooses to bring forth the memory.

I hope this addresses everything.

Also, as to the time frame. I will extend the sign up date to April 26th. Once the sign up is complete, I will give three (3) weeks to have the projects complete. So that would be... postmarked to Me by May 17th.

As in the last round and others extensions have been given as to the time and that certainly can happen with this as well. I do realize we all have lives.

I hope I have addressed everything here and made things more clear.

Please expand your minds as to how to incorporate things .. I think this could be a really fun project showing all of us a glimpse into one's memory.

Not necessarily on hold, but the deadline for signing up hasn't gotten here yet. Once the deadline comes, we'll know exactly how many pieces we need to get out.

On the 26th I will go chop down XX number of petrified trees (no live critters to trasnport across state lines), ship no fruit flys, and will look for 3 D water...Hmmm , so far we are up to 6 ...+ me....Wheeee...

[Soft*Silver]

Jake, I am glad you are home again...take care sweet one!

I have bad news. I did NOT receive the packet with the tripect (sp?)...who sent them out? What address did you use? I am getting mail at my new address. I am worried I mine is lost out there somewhere!

I am grateful the next one isnt due out yet for awhile. My house is filled with STUFF and its not all found its place...

[Corkey]

Softness yours hasn't been sent yet. Ami needs your new addy. Um she was to wait til you got moved so it wouldn't get lost.

[Soft*Silver]

oh heavens...she repped me and reminded me I had asked her to hold it up. LOL. This move has been so stressful and had so many challenges... I have been suffering from mental and physical fatigue. Thanks for the reminders...I sent her my new addy...looking forward to everyone's creativity!

[amiyesiam]

[JakeTulane]

Well .. maybe is now is not a good time for a project like Mine.. yes? Or a project in general.. I am not quite sure. Everyone seems to be busy or not interested at the moment.

So I will put this on hold.. until everyone wagers in.

[Lady Pamela]

One of my passions are to camp.
But I am also into survival techniques.

I just wanted to share one most people enjoy watching me do.

Items needed:

Aluminum Foil
A box
A piece of glass that fits in the box and is the full width of the box
A mason jar big enough to cook in. " a large empty bottle "Such as what a jumbo size bottle of pickles came in" will work well.
And whatever ingredients you need to make your meal.
"Such as stew, soup, etc.

Cover the entire inside of the box with aluminum.
Place all your food ingredients into jar
Place jar in the bottom of the box, centered in the middle
At an angle, place glass into box
Turn box so the open top and glass face the sun
"Make dure to start this process early in the day...So by evening..all food will be cooked"
Make sure items you have to cut up are not super thick or big!


As you hike or fish or whatever...your food will cook and be ready to eat when your evening mealtime comes.

Hope you enjoy!

Nothing "happened". I think Gemme was right .. I might have given too much time for people to sign up. .. so My apologies .. it is My first time doing this. However, that is no excuse I have been involved in others.

So at this time we have:

1. purepisces
2. Random
3. Tommi
4. Gemme
5. softness
6. Jake

I think there has been plenty of time for people to sign up. So the signing up is closed.

Everyone can go with the list above as to who a project needs to be made for.

Also, we have determined..

a. That we do not have to disclose a childhood memory.

b. The water can and should be painted. (no need to try to figure out how to transport it.. not sure what I was thinking.. I think it was the 3-D thing)

c. As Random had asked.. it can be interpretation... as to the memory.. and whether or not it included a tree and water.

d. As Gemme asked. it most certainly can contain all the usual suspects.. glitter, etc.

My only asking was that it included a water and tree scene... and that I wanted those to be in 3-D.

Let Me know if I missed anything and if there are anymore questions or ponderings.

Thank you.
Jake

[Gemme]

I'm not sure what I was right about....*grin*....but it is nice to hear once in a while.

The date to get everything out to you is May 17?

[Soft*Silver]

if we do it sooner, I would be cool with that. It would motivate me to get my craft room organized.
