Honey, I'm home!!

I added the part about wranglers, not just participants. Please keep this paragraph attached to the bottom of all projects:

"For 2015, the rule is if one of us is more than a week late or drops out of a project for whatever reason, that person is welcome to continue posting but is not allowed to sign up for a group project again until January 1st, 2016. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. This rule must be posted at the bottom of all new projects that are being wrangled so that members can thoughtfully consider whether we wish to commit to a new project."

Also, let's not use the word banned. Someone suggested restricted, and that feels a lot better. Even if someone doesn't come through on a project they are still welcome to do one on one exchanges and to post on the thread until they can join in again on group projects come the New Year.

For all our heated discussion, on the bright side we have had such an improvement in people following through with the new rule! We do not have a single person restricted at this time. Hopefully I'm not jinxing that by noting this, lol.

Received all but CCBs projects- and they look awesome. I'll send out as soon as I get the last one. I'll update as soon as I do.

Summer Mosaic Project



mosaic; the art of creating images by using small colored pieces

Get your creating minds a working! This project will surely be fun! Design something that is 90% paper and 10% of a material of your choice. Paper can be, paint chips, craft paper, recycled paper, etc. Your extra material might be; buttons, beads, string, yarn,fabrics, charm, etc. Just be mindful of the weight of your extra, could cause extra postage.

Your end project should be at least 3" x 5", but no bigger than 5"x6". It can be in any shape, but must be flat. You will need to work a "sun" into it some how. This is the summer project! The sun can be something tiny or a main focal point. Your pieces can all be the same or all different.

After sign ups are closed, we can discuss how many pieces we will make. ** will be a min of three with a possibility of 5, for those who want to start

I ask that after you complete your little piece of art work, that you sign and date it somehow!

Open sign-ups, start now, thru Aug 2nd.
Construction of your art, Aug 3 thru Aug 20
Mail by Aug 21, $5.00 for postage
Turn around after all have been received, 4 days.

If you need ideas, Google , paper mosaics or check Pinterest .

Hi Besame -

I have a question. I highlighted the above where you gave a roundabout number as to the number of participants.

Are you limiting this sign up to 5? I was thinking about signing up. Also, Gemme is wondering as well (her internet is down and will not be back up until Thursday)... so I am asking for both of us as to clarification on this. Given 3 people have already signed up..she would miss the sign up. (unless of course you are not limiting it to the 5).

If you could let me know that would be great.

Thanks
Tierney

**I'm not limiting participates.


"After sign ups, we can discuss how many pieces we will make. If 10 sign-up, I feel that making 10 would be too time consuming. We can discuss the making up to 5, or as a group we can decide if we want to make 10. That is open for discussion after sign ups are closed."

I hope that is clearer for everyone Yay, for you joining in!!

Gemme- I just noticed that your internet is down and I Pm'd you re: your package. I have a few questions about it- any way you can get a hold of me before I send out projects?

Or anyone can relay this to Gemme- please and thank you.

Update to Christmas in July ATCs-- I'm still waiting for CCBs to arrive. As of 1230 MST I still haven't received them, so hopefully tomorrow something will arrive. I'm also gonna give it a few days so I can talk with Gemme to get things figured out. Thank you to everyone else for all your wonderful creations.

Happy Crafting!

Thanks, Juney!! That is a great idea.....and I, for one, would like to see it at the top...just for reasons you stated!!! Thanks!!!

Me too! Great idea!!

Christmas in July ATCs Update:

Okay-- I have received all the ATCs. I have received a few cards from people and the cards weren't put together very well and I'm having to put them back together the best I can. Thank you to Gemme for sending pictures so I can see what needed to be done.

I would suggest in the future, to make sure you glue stickers down because depending where you live it doesn't always make it when it arrives to a new place of living. Also, individual wrapping of cards helps, A LOT.

I will be sending them out in the beginning of next week -- and will let everyone know.

Thank you everyone again for participating!!

Mine were. Glued down, that is. Damn Martha Stewart and her glue pens!

I did forget to wrap them really good though and you are right; that can make all the difference.

I'm glad you were able to figure out what screw A goes into slot B.

7. Gemme -with a stipulation. If the group decides to do the total number of participants, I'm in like Flynn. If the group decides to only do a few and draw to see who gets what, I'm out. I like receiving something from every one of the participants of each round. If this is not an acceptable stipulation, feel free to remove my name from the list. Thanks!
