BECAUSE

I finished my projects and they're going in the mail tomorrow! And now I will also get some cheap(er) stamps!

Besame*, USPS Tracking says my package was left in your mailbox today at 12:12 pm. Please let me know when it's in your hands - thanks!

And thanks for wrangling this project - it was fun, especially finding ways to hide the strawberries!

nina03 · 04-15-2023, 09:04 AM

Mine are still coming, but they're not going into the mail until Tuesday. I'm at a work training all weekend, and Max will have the car all day Monday, so first thing Tuesday morning it is. I'm going to have to send them overnight to get them in by Thursday, but they'll be there. Besame, I'll send you tracking when I mail them so you know they're on their way. I'm sorry I'm so down to the wire this time. It's been a really hectic month. I love this project, though, and have so enjoyed the collages that I think I'm going to keep making them.

Bèsame* · 04-16-2023, 03:18 PM

Hello hello hello

I'm not MIA, I'm still here. I'm not a very attentive wrangler this time round. I have been really really busy I haven't sign on in days.

I have received Clay and GeorgiaMa'am's projects. You will be excited over what I have seen, for sure.

They need to be here in my hands by April 20th, Thursday.

Gentle push.....

Mine are coming. As I said above, they won't hit the mail until Tuesday, but I will send them overnight so they get there on time, and send you tracking when they are in the mail.

Gemme · 04-17-2023, 06:17 PM

Projects out first thing this morning and are expected on 4/20.

I want to formally apologize to everyone now. I had a great idea, love collages and had started to do something super cute but apparently, my creativity doesn't function whilst grieving and I had to keep dumbing the work down repeatedly in order to just get it done and have something to send out.

Gemme, you have nothing to apologize for. Please take the best care of yourself that you can. Sending healing thoughts while you grieve.

Besame, mine are on the way. They said delivery is guaranteed for tomorrow by 6pm. I made sure that there's no need for a signature. I've got the tracking number if you need it.

nina03 · 04-19-2023, 07:25 PM

I just checked the tracking and it's not delivered. I hope it gets there tomorrow. That was a money back guarantee of delivery by today. I guess the USPS owes me some cash.

I just checked tracking and it says it was delivered!! Woohooo! I'm so glad it's not late!

clay · 04-24-2023, 08:54 AM

Any updates for this project?

Sooo excited to get them back......did they go out on 24th, Oh Wrangler Uni Q!!??

Thanks

Bèsame* · 04-26-2023, 06:52 AM

update update!!

I have received and sent out projects. They should arrive to you by Friday.

You all did a wonderful job. I love how we adapt and interpret the craft task. Wait till you see the different mediums that were used! I'm not going into detail because I want you all to see what I've already seen and be surprised.

Thank you my wonderful participants.

Ok, soooooo what's next???

nanners · 04-27-2023, 07:43 AM

I’d like to be the next wrangler. I need a distraction in my life. Lots going on with aging parents and I’m in MN dealing with it currently.

How does everyone feel about doing Zentangles?
I’ll post an example later but you can look at them on Pinterest or google Zentangle. I’d probably require it to be 3.5 to 4” square.

Thoughts?

I am liking this idea.....if could do at least 4" ones, I maybe can join. Still with blurred vision (working on that remedied soon).

Great idea. Thanks for stepping up! Nan...(sorry to hear with the challenges of your folks...... THAT is NOT for the faint of heart...

nanners · 04-27-2023, 02:44 PM

4” square works for me.

I’ll wait a couple days and let people chime in.

GeorgiaMa'am · 04-27-2023, 03:20 PM

Could we make it between 3-1/4 to 4 inches square? I think 3-1/4" is the size of standard, commercial Zentangle paper.

clay · 04-27-2023, 04:03 PM

Ohhh Emmm Geeeee...got my package today! I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of them.

My wife was "squeeing" with such joy, she is always so excited to open them with me.

I KNOW some very heartbreaking events occured in last few weeks, for a few of us...BUT we ALL persevered and did this project. That speaks volumes to me!

I LOVE all of you...thank you for some sunshine, rainbows, & "strawberry hunts" to brighten a rather down day for me....

Oh yay!!

I know exactly how you feel. I squealed and oooh and ahhh! I hope you all do the same tomorrow.

I'm game for Zentangles!

Gemme · 04-27-2023, 06:49 PM

I got my package today, too. Great job! You all are sooo creative!!!

As for zentangles, I love them and would join a round. The last one we had was really fun and doing them can be relaxing and somewhat therapeutic.

The tiles come in multiple sizes. The most common are 3.5x3.5 and 4.5x4.5 but I've seen packs of 6x6 as well. They are usually square but I've seen round ones too and they come in different colors (white, black, grey and brown are most common). They are easily found on Amazon or in craft stores.

I've been eyeing my Micron pens lately so this would be the perfect opportunity to use them.

nina03 · 04-27-2023, 09:11 PM

Mine came today, too! I thought I'd be waiting longer since I'm on the other coast. They're all so beautiful. Thank you all so much.
I've never done the zentangles, but I'd try. Count me in.

nanners · 04-28-2023, 08:57 AM

I’ll make the Zentangle project where you can use any size but no larger than 5” X 5”.

Could anyone help me out and post some pictures of Zentangles? I can’t seem to post pictures, I forgot how, lol!
