I think we're seeing more deterioration of mail service in the US. I mailed a check on March 7, which was due on March 18, from Atlanta to Indianapolis. It didn't get there until March 21, and it was due on the 18th. By the time it arrived, I had already FedExed a replacement check overnight, and had also paid a $35 fee to my bank to put a stop payment on the original check.

Project Idea: How would people feel about making bracelets for a project? They could be any kind of bracelet, from beads on a string, to charms, to woven friendship bracelets, or crocheted bracelets, to leather ties, to macramé, or anything really. See Pinterest for different ideas.

Would anyone be interested if I wrangled it?

I’ll think about it. I’ve got a lot on my plate right now but it really sounds fun.

I finished my stamps on Saturday!

We’re supposed to have bad weather here in the next day or two, and since the mail is already slower than molasses in January, is it ok with everyone if I wait a few more days (like till the end of the week) to send the stamps project out?

I heard a local news story on my NPR station about how everyone in certain hubs of the USPS is experiencing very slow mail service. It's really messing with some people's prescriptions, checks, etc. They were talking about weeks of delays being common. Apparently, the USPS is trying to "modernize" their systems, and that's the cause.

I would LOVE this, especially that each of us could make any type of bracelets we wish! Definitely count me in!

Thanks to those of you who text me- for the life of me, I never get these posts in my email, drives me nuts!

I'm interested in this project! When we sign up, it might not be a bad idea to post wrist sizes, since those can vary. Or should we all just make them adjustable?

BRACELETS PROJECT

Thanks everyone for your interest in this project! I'll post signups sometime before Friday morning. Great idea nina, about signing up with wrist sizes! I'll include that on the signup sheet.

~ ~ ~ Project: BRACELETS! ~ ~ ~


*Make at least one bracelet for each person on the list. Bracelets can be made with beads, charms, hemp, embroidery floss, leather, jute or whatever you want! See Pinterest for ideas. The designs and materials are totally up to you!

*You can make bracelets to size (see each person's sign up) or you can make them adjustable.

*Send $7 to wrangler with your project.

*Please put each person's bracelet/s in a baggie, or envelope, or include a tag on them. On each baggie (Sharpies are great for this!) or envelope or tag write your name, the name of the person it's for, and the date.

Sign ups will be open 3/29/2024.

Due date is 4/30/2024, and final date for me to receive is by 05/07/2024 or you will go on the hold list for 4 months.

I will mail out by 5/14/2024.

Remember to send me your addresses and ask for mine if you do not already have it.

Remember to include your wrist size! This is the size you want your bracelets, not the actual size of your wrist. For example, my wrist is exactly 8" around, but I put 8 1/2" below because I like my bracelets a little loose. (TIP: if you can't find a tape measure, remember a regular sheet of paper is 8 1/2 x 11. Wrap the short end around your wrist and make your best guess.)

1. GeorgiaMa'am - wrist size 8 1/2"
2. clay - wrist size needed
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.


"The rule is if one of our projects is received by the wrangler more than seven days after the due date, or one of us 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 four months from the latest date that the project was supposed to be due. No exceptions. This rule applies to participants and to wranglers. Wranglers must mail out projects within one week of the latest date that the projects were supposed to be due. In addition to waiting four months before being able to join a penpal project, the person who has not met the latest deadline must post directly on the penpal thread within a week of missing the latest deadline stating that they have not adhered to the deadline (reason is welcome to be included or does not have to be) and, most importantly, the date on which they will be able to return to participating in the penpal projects. They must scroll back and add themselves to the bottom of the list of any other participants who have not met the late date for any project. The reason for this is personal responsibility, so that we have a running record right on the thread that is easy to refer back to when needed. And for the purposes of clarification, if someone drops out before the deadline to sign up has been closed then they are not excluded from future projects because they are still following the rules.

Example: Bitsy misses the late date for a project. Within a week of that late date she must scroll down and find the most recent list of people who have missed the late date in and copy that list to a new post and add herself. Bitsy's post would look something like this:

'Sorry, I had the bird flu and missed the late date of 2/21/24. I can start participating in new projects on 6/21/24. I have added myself to the list below:

1. Tony (missed the late date of 1/28/24, able to participate 5/28/24)
2. Bitsy (missed the late date of 2/21/24, able to participate 6/21/24)

This rule must be posted in its entirety 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."

CURRENT ON HOLD MEMBERS:

None! Everyone can participate.
