I’ve gotten a start this week, although most of my plans are still a bit murky.

I’ve made a start on one, it’s working well so far….

I bought supplies on 30th and I’m brainstorming.

I have begun!

I’ve got some ideas but need to figure out how to balance potential paper warping vs paper thickness vs book thickness. Going to try some experiments today.

I am extending the send-outs by a week since I set up partners later than planned and I and a couple of people I’ve heard from are running behind for various reasons.

New send out date - 10/21/25

Hah– I just put mine in the mailbox.

That helps a lot. I wasn’t too worried yet about finishing on time, but I appreciate the extra breathing room, so thanks!

I should be good, because I’ve been unwell and took time off work , but it gave me crafting time!!

Need a couple of supplies that I should be able to pick up tomorrow.

Thank you for the extra time! I bought the supplies over a week ago, but have been working a ton tomorrow is fun project day

I’m at the point in the project where I can’t tell if it’s going great or terrible lol. How are everyone else’s projects coming?

Nearly done with mine - I think I’m pleased with it so far. Hope my partner will be pleased too!

megwell · October 13, 2025, 11:44pm

I’ve been procrastinating on the next step because it required actual skill .
But I sat down to it tonight and what I did looks enough like what I intended that I think it’ll be workable.

I attached the back cover wrong and will have to figure out how to fix it

EclecticDreamer · October 14, 2025, 6:28am

Fun project day didn’t happen but tomorrow I’ll be able to work!

gozer · October 15, 2025, 3:24pm

I got most of the hard work done, now it’s the fun part! I am working on it tonight, tomorrow, and into the weekend. Thanks for the extra time. My life always sseems to be hectic.

I finished mine at the weekend, but I have still been poorly this week, (possibly Covid ), so haven’t gone to the Post Office yet. I should get there tomorrow.

Renstar · October 18, 2025, 4:35pm

I posted today
