Click Here For First Thread: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27296 What I am suggesting is another journaling type of project, but instead of risking the journals being lost (if we have over seas people) for the folks participating in the event to mail the pages directly to those who are waiting.. there will be an order to follow.. anyone who wishes to participate may definitely join! Each person buys or already has a 3ring binder, or folder, or something to keep the pages in.. this way you can arrange the notes in your own order.. the only real rules for the project is that people do not bend the pages.. ship in an envelope large enough to hold the pages straight. You can use any type of paper as long as it meets the 8"x11" requirement for the binders. :) You can include: - tarot card meanings - drawings - lyrics (tarot related) - poems (tarot related) - stickers - spreads - pictures - recipes - news paper articles - magazine clippings - notes to the author - meditation exercises anything along these lines as long as its productive to the study of tarot.. I would suggest that you search through the posts to see which decks you have in common with your buddy (person you are journaling for) and perhaps discuss that deck with them, if you don't have any in common that's also not a problem as there are LOTS to discuss.. its basically a blank canvas for you to begin working in. We will work in order.. and you will be emailed a list of names, addresses, and instructions. There are NO page limits (1-25, its up to you!) just as long as everyone gets a LEAST one.. the only thing that is NOT acceptable is non-participation or sending only a photograph/drawing (serves no purpose if it isn't explained).. shipping costs will be low as you are only shipping paper, but I do advise to check with those you are mailing your papers to, to see if they received them. I ask for ONLY serious participants to reply! :) I am looking forward to getting to know you all and reading all of your wonderful suggestions! *edited to add* The up to date list of those wanting to be a part of this project are: 1.) September Pixie 2.) darwinia 3.) danubhe 4.) mooncat2 5.) SongDeva 6.) Gardener 7.) elf 8.) Ravenswing 9.) seneris 10.) sassygirl3124 11.) wildchilde

Hello SP, I would love to be a part of this. I've participated in scrapbooking circle journals here in NZ and the end result is wonderful . As long as everyone else doesn't mind paying the postage to this end of the world!!!

September Pixie	07 Aug 2004
Postage shouldn't cost much since we aren't shipping the journals :) Glad to have you aboard!

darwinia	07 Aug 2004
Committed, no problem. Serious! I'm a little worried about there being no specific number of pages. I'd feel bad if I did only one for someone and they did 5 for me. I kind of like the spontaneity of that though, because depending on the deck you were working with you might just have enough sparks of imagination to get through several pages of ideas. I love journals, I love ideas in journals. Another great idea September Pixie. I am in Canada BTW.

September Pixie	07 Aug 2004
I would like to encourage those to do more than 3 pages but by making no guide lines, you are not limited on what to write :)

darwinia	07 Aug 2004
Quote: Originally posted by September Pixie I would like to encourage those to do more than 3 pages but by making no guide lines, you are not limited on what to write :) Okay, I want to be clear on the requirements. Do you mean about 3 pages or more to be made for each participant, which could entail creating 30 or more pages? Or do you mean each person gets a buddy to send to and you would do 3 pages or more just for that one other person? I think you mean the latter, right? Since your post is speaking of journaling directly for a buddy. If that's the case then several pages for sure would be wild and wonderful, with mix and match projects and stuff. Sorry, I misunderstood that.

September Pixie	07 Aug 2004
everyone who participates will take part in every single person's journal :) So that no one is left out... so if we get 10 people to sign up and each of those 10 do 3 pages, thats 30 pages you get for your journal! :D Again, you are encouraged to do more than 3, and write till your little heart is content :D This will also take care of late additions.. :) Should some decide to join once the process has begin we simply add a name (I would like to add that you SHOULD NOT wait that long!) :) and people participating in the first journaling project are also welcome here :) Here is an over view of the process: 1.) You are posting to join 2.) You will be asked to fill out a small Q&A of your likes and dis-likes (to make journaling easier) 3.) You will recieve a list of names and address in order for you to create pages from 4.) There is no time limit, but I would like to possibly limit this to 2-3 weeks per person. 5.) Mail the pages to the person. 6.) PM or post here once you send the stuff off so the person can be on the watch. 7.) When you are ready, start on the next person on your list. :) I hope this makes a little more sence now... since you are not mailing the binders themselves, shipping will cost no more than mailing a heavy letter no matter what you do to the pages :)

darwinia	07 Aug 2004
Okay, thanks for explaining. My journalling tends to be artwork with writing and poems worked into it. Each page is full but it's not like writing a story unless you compare it to an old-fashioned illustrated book. I like to use art paper or watercolour paper too, so that's gets expensive in such quantities and big 8.5 x 11-inch pages. For me to do 30 pages of work would take about 4 hours per page, so that's 120 hours. I just can't do it. I have a job and a small business and I'm taking college courses for my job for the next two years. Darn!! Thanks though, I am envious of the creative outlet you guys have ahead of you.

September Pixie	07 Aug 2004
darwinia, I would just like to say, no one is saying you must use water colors or even water color paper.. if you did one per person would even be more than enough :) This is a process more about getting to know eachother, sharing what we have to offer, and learning with eachother.. and of course creating pretty journals. :) Stationary that equals the size of a regular sheet of cheap, plain, white, printing paper is fine.. you can even use the plain printing paper, or standard size notebook loose leaf, I am asking people to use this size because its the size of the average binders that people will use to house their journals and makes it easy to arrange and re-arrange at a later date. This is in NO WAY meant to over take anyones current projects which is why there are so few limitations. I would still like you to be a part of the process but if you decide not to, I totally understand. On a side note: You CAN ship your journal slips rolled up in a proper tube to ship artwork but NOT bent in half.. :)

More than that I like to collage and mix everything in including scans of cards from the deck and papers and clippings and words and sometimes paint. It would be pretty though and have some effort, so that no one thinks they've been short-changed with only one page. If I write something or do a poem it always involves a visual like above. Now sometimes the visual is simply a scan of the card printed with the writing for my journal, as I do with my Random Passages exercises where I smoosh odd bits of writing together with a tarot card, but I often get the urge to tweak things, like the time I put a package of Chiclets in the hand of The Pook from the Faeries' Oracle with the story I did about how he turned blue. (Cough) Well...I'd like to participate, I LOVE stuff like this. Just so people aren't disappointed, but I DO promise to put some effort and time into one page. The thing is, depending on the deck, it might be a purely written exercise, I don't like to pin it down until inspiration strikes. In any case it would never be more than 2 pages, I just don't want to be embarrassed or have someone resent that I sent my 1 or 2 pages instead of more. If that's okay with other participants, that's fine. My attitude would be minimal volume but maximum effort. I'm not going to dash off quickie stuff and send it, the effort will be there.

blackroseivy	08 Aug 2004
I'd like to participate & maybe, can I include a card from my deck? (I have an extra.) This could be what I write about - I'm trying to get together some kind of text to go with it. I'd *really* like feedback for my ideas - I need bolstering as this Tarot project is unusual & I don't know how saleable it is, but it's very Celtic so maybe... *Plus*, I can include my unpublishable montage-deck cards! Yeah, sign me up, please!!! (I am going to paint those suckers, & BOY will *that* ever be WORK!!) :D

September Pixie	08 Aug 2004
I dont think anyone minds darwinia :) Glad to have you aboard danubhe :)

SongDeva	08 Aug 2004
I'd like to participate. I'm not sure I totally get it yet. At first I thought we'd write something then mail it to the next person, who could perhaps make copies, add her own, and mail it on to the next person, so that there are many pages by the time it comes around to you again (and of course you'd remove pages once everyone had them). This is not a suggestion, just how I was trying to figure it out. So based on a person's interests, we try to journal something for them? Or do we go based on what's on our minds that week? Still a little clueless, but I wanna play!

darwinia	08 Aug 2004

So based on a person's interests, we try to journal something for them? Or do we go based on what's on our minds that week? K, it is NOT ok to just copy something and send it to everyone on the list, the object is not to make everyone's journal the exact same but different... It is ok to re-draw, trace, color, and even paste images onto the paper but its NOT ok to make one page and run off 10 copies and mail them around.. you can't remove pages to someone else's journal because you aren't getting anyone else's pages but your own :) The object of this is to keep the journal "changeable" for the journal owner.. so he or she can add things, move things around, and re-organize his/her journal in any way they choose. Artwork is something that is up to the person making the pages, if drawing similar pages, please make a few subtle changes so that everyone has a unique piece of work :) 1.) You get a list of names with the peoples likes, hobbies, and dislikes 2.) You begin making pages for them 3.) You mail the pages 4.) You let the person know either by this post or PM that you have sent them things so that they will be on the look out for them 5.) The person adds the pages to his/her journal 6.) When you are ready, you begin the next persons. You can journal based upon their likes or what's on your mind (tarot related, please) this week.. the choice is yours, but please no entries like "well today I woke up, ate a piece of toast... then I went to the bathroom" unless it relates to some tarot related epiphany you have had.. lol :) You can include lyrics, pictures, newspaper articles, loose tarot cards, etc but please make sure that anything you are sending is some how attached to a piece of paper :) and don't forget to sign your names! :D I hope this clears up the confusion, and I am glad to have you all aboard! :D

September Pixie	08 Aug 2004
But you CAN use the same stickers and embellishments, these obviously do not count :)

Gardener	08 Aug 2004
This is a wonderful project, September Pixie, what a great idea! Like Darwinia, I like to do journal stuff that is pretty, and involved, on watercolor paper, and that means it's not voluminous, but hopefully pretty and maybe even inspirational. I would love to participate in this project. Hi SnogDeva, nice to see you here! Like you, I'm still a little confused. I have the micro picture clear, we get the name of the person, we make a journal entry, we mail it. But the macro picture? Are we each doing a journal entry for only one card? A different card for each person in the group? It's this overall plan I'm not clear on. But whatever it is, I'm game!

Satori	08 Aug 2004
Hi, I'd like to participate, and posted to another thread .... I think! Anyway, count me in.. Massachusetts...

But whatever it is, I'm game! you can write about, draw about, talk about whatever you want as long as its tarot related :) It doesn't have to be The Lovers for person A and the Magician for person B and Strength for person C :) you CAN do that, but you don't HAVE to do that :) You will be emailed a list of names and you start with person 1 and work your way down :) we won't all be doing the same people at the same time, so one journal won't be complete before the others (I hope!) I figure I will leave this thread open for people to join about another week before I start making out the lists :) You then will receive an email with basic instructions and if you are still confused at that point, feel free to email, pm me, or post here with your questions and concerns :) All I am basically asking, is an effort to improve someone else's day, share a little insight, and get to know your fellow AT addicts ;)

ambermoon	09 Aug 2004
This sounds like a great project. Just one question that I didn't see answered: How quickly is this supposed to unfold? I can't imagine myself being able to do pages for more than two, maybe three, people in a month. Is that too slow? ambermoon

contrascarpe	09 Aug 2004
I would like to participate as well. That is, if it is OK since I live with one of the participants already committed ;) Dan

Satori	09 Aug 2004
....And four of us in Massachusetts! We can hand deliver our pages and save on postage....never mind that gas costs oh so much more... :D

September Pixie	09 Aug 2004
Glad to have you all here :D contrascarpe96 & Gardener can obviously save in postage ;) Congrats again you two!

Gardener	10 Aug 2004
Thank you NinaPixie, I finally understand the project and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!! It's going to be an absolutely wonderful way to get my own tarot journal started but better than that a way to share the creativity of the cards with my new wonderful family. Thank you for putting this delicious project together. Yes, elf, we'll be saving so much on postage we won't even notice the gas bill! Ah, contrascarpe my dear, always got to join my in my little reindeer games... Looking forward to it all!

Quote: Originally posted by contrascarpe96 You may want to rethink Gardener's involvement ..... we wouldn't want her snorting up coffee over everybody's journal ;) Yeah but Dan, we're also running the risk that you're going to paint hearts all over everyone's journal pages. And maybe doves carrying hearts and roses. . . .and men and women sitting on benches in parks with doves flying around trailing roses strung together with hearts and balloons with hearts on them. . . and chocalate selection boxes in the shape of hearts. . . .

seneris	14 Aug 2004
I read this thread and I think I have an idea of what this project means. I would love to participate ( I think :)), but I have to add that I'm a beginner with tarot. Is this a problem? Another thing is that I live in the Netherlands, so it could take a while before someone receives my pages.

September Pixie	14 Aug 2004
seneris, you are more than welcome to participate :)

September Pixie	14 Aug 2004
Someone just asked me if it was ok to type and print (from the comp) their journal entries, I am not against this as long as there is SOMETHING hand written included. :) Just about to send everyone their questions and my email address. :)

September Pixie	17 Aug 2004
Anyone wishing to join should do so now! We will be sending out your Q&A's on Thursday! :) I am a little behind, so many birthdays this week and this morning I wasn't feeling to well so I am preparing the lists this weekend and you will all be mailed the mailing order and preferences of the people on the list once everyone has submitted theirs.. please do this in a timely manor :) See you all on Thursday!

darwinia	17 Aug 2004
I forgot how much work it must be to organize something like this. I really appreciate your efforts Nina!!!! Hope you feel better. I can hardly wait for this to start. I admit I ordered some rubber stamps just in case I get a chance to use them. They were on sale, and I thought "Gee, maybe I could use these for the Tarot Journal folks..." And then I said to the spouse "Oh honey, I'll be able to use these for the Tarot Journal people, so $8 is pretty resonable for 18 designs." He wasn't buying it though.

September Pixie	17 Aug 2004
lol I know the feeling, I went crazy buying stickers and pens for the first project, I cannot even IMAGINE how this one is going to pan out! :eek: I am working on the numbers as we speak, once you are ready to be emailed (I will email you all individually), you will have a long list of everyones Q&A's, their addresses, and the other you are to mail these projects :) Please, please, please! Don't forget to include your AT nick in your emails :)

hyatt	18 Aug 2004
Hi- I am sorry to inform you guys that I don't think i will be able to participate in this project. I have a ton of stuff to do right now and I don't want people waiting on me. It sounds like so much! I wish all of you the best!!!!

Little Hare	18 Aug 2004
hi guys sorry about the long time i have been extremly ill! sorry to take so long to get back i have two journals and when i getthe money i'll send them off i haven't written anything in them i hope you will accept my apologies blessings Pixie

September Pixie	18 Aug 2004
hyatt, thanks for letting us know, we removed you :) peace_pixie, were you wanting to participate in this journal exchange also or did you mean to post in the first thread? :) Everyone should have just gotten PM'd with the questions and instructions where to send the answers. Next step is getting the list together, shouldn't take me more than a day or two! :)

Satori	19 Aug 2004
yup, thanks very much, I have my questions. Still trying to decide who I am.......

September Pixie	21 Aug 2004
Just a reminder for everyone who hasn't sent their questions in, please do so asap. :) I have got returns from the following people: darwinia Gardener Ravenswing Songdeva Seneris mooncat2 ambermoon danubhe elf

we're all waiting on Dan :P

UUUUUGGGHHHH hey DAAAAAA-AAAANNNNN Captain Kirk is calling you to the bridge, buddy. So, its engines full and you and Scotty better have it!

wildchilde	26 Aug 2004
this sounds very interesting! I'm not sure I completely grasp it (b/c it's very late and I'm tired!)...but I think it would be very neat to participate. Can I be added to the list or am I too late?

darwinia	29 Aug 2004
Are we still waiting for DAN??? This correspondent contemplates various instruments of torture, including the I Ching and the book Strange Brains and Genius.....then opens the page of the book and picks......."well then get two." Okay, now the story is that Dan is having trouble filling out his form, having also been given the horrendous burden of doing the weekly shopping by Gardener. Wracked with anxiety and completely unable to move forward and do anything, including filling out his form to join the tarot journal thingy, because he's been given the choice of buying white nectarines or plums for the weekly fruit, we prod Dan down the grocery isle with mysterious whisperings of "Well then, get two." Jauntily relieved of the huge burden of choice, he skips home, carrying two brown bags filled with nectarines AND plums, and feels so happy to be released from this terror of decision that has plagued him all week, that he IMMEDIATELY sits down and tells us what his favourite colour is etc. Oh-oh, he has to choose between blue or green. . . .

contrascarpe	29 Aug 2004
Um, sorry guys but life(work) got in the way the past couple of weeks ..... I did respond to SP on Thursday. Dan

I don't think chocolate is on the South Beach Diet, but then again, neither is schnapps. My quick answers are a direct result of finally having some down time to spend on the boards ...... the last two weeks were REALLY rough at work and I went through AT withdrawal, sneaking in for a moment here and there. Sooooo, looks like we are ready to go with the project. I guess Gardener and I need to purchase some three-ring binders and get ready! Dan

Satori	29 Aug 2004
What, three ring binders, what for? for the incoming pages right? okay, didn't think of that. I feel very disconnected, like what to do what to do........

September Pixie	30 Aug 2004
Dan got back to me ;) Ok, I am going to be mailing out your 'next step' later on this afternoon, I have the numbers all ready to go, just want to make sure everyone gets a personal email and their mailing addresses :) 3-ring binders are to keep track of the incoming pages, but you can use a folder, large envelope, etc.. anything large enough to hold the pages you are getting :) Once you are emailed with the next step, you all can begin working as soon as you are ready!!! :D

September Pixie	30 Aug 2004
wildchilde, I sent you the list of Q&A's, if you can email me with your responce in a timely manor you can be added to the list :)

ambermoon	30 Aug 2004
Please, don't punch 3-ring binder holes in your papers before you send them. I'm not going to use a ring binder, and the holes will get in the way of the binding I'm going to use (Single sheet coptic binding, for the curious bookbinders among you). Thanks so much! ambermoon

darwinia	30 Aug 2004
Quote: Originally posted by ambermoon Please, don't punch 3-ring binder holes in your papers before you send them. I'm glad you said something, I had planned to do a decorative border down one side and punch the holes in it. In this case I won't punch holes in anyone's pages. I'm still planning to do a decorative border for people--it might be heavy though with layers, would this be impractical for you if you are doing a sewn binding? If so I will omit it for your pages.

Gardener	30 Aug 2004
Are we assuming that all pages should be 8 1/2 x 11, or how about 9 x 12? Like Darwinia, I intend to work on art paper, which is a little heavier than regular paper. I won't punch holes, and I'll leave room along the left edge for holes, say a half inch? That's what I'd suggest for yours too, D.

Gardener	30 Aug 2004
Whoops, I just got what you meant, Darwinia, about the border. You mean physical layers, like lace or something? In which case it makes sense to punch the holes through it. For mine, I was thinking of a decorative border of ink, some kind of drawing, which would make more sense offset, right? Ooooh, the possibilities! Isn't this a great project!?!?!?

darwinia	30 Aug 2004
Quote: Originally posted by Gardener Ooooh, the possibilities! Isn't this a great project!?!?!? [/b] Yes!! For the border I was thinking of (not lace, particularly not for you G ), a single layer of wallpaper or art paper over the bottom layer, but done with Fiskars scissors with the fancy edging and then some relevant art on top. OR just the art on the border like you are thinking of, but with motifs that tie in the theme or the colours or something. Pre-planning doesn't work for this kind of thing so it's an idea not a formula. Maybe instead of punching holes we could visualize the position of holes and work around them so that people who do want to punch holes can do so when they receive it without ruining the border design? Yeah a half-inch sounds good, maybe even 5/8" But we could offset the border too, I guess it depends how wide it is and what kind of art is in the centre. Oooooh, much serendipitous frivolity!

ambermoon	30 Aug 2004
I would have no problem at all with a decorative border. The sewing is just 6 or 8 buttonhole stitches on each sheet, and I have an awl to punch the holes. The binding technique I use doesn't require an offset margin, but no harm comes from using one. Here's a non-tarot example of the binding technique. This is just a tiny, 2.5" by 3.5" pocket journal, so there are only four stitches per page.

wildchilde	30 Aug 2004
Hi SeptemberPixie! Thanks for trying to include me on such short notice...when I first started reading this thread I didn't realize you had already begun the process! I received the question list today and sent it back to you. Hope I was not too late. Thanks again!

September Pixie	01 Sep 2004
Ok, I am going to start emailing those involved, at this point, please! No new entries. New people can be added to the list once everyone has instructions and has started the process.. I will post when this is open again for new members, everyone else, please keep a watch in your emails! :D

September Pixie	01 Sep 2004
contrascarpe96 & sassygirl3124, please send me your mailing addresses :)

blackroseivy	01 Sep 2004
Am I on this list, or is there another one???? :confused:

Gardener	02 Sep 2004
Has anyone received their list from SeptemberPixie yet? I have trouble with my email occasionally and I just want to see if the ball has gotten rolling yet...

Gardener	02 Sep 2004
danubhe, I see that SeptemberPixie has edited the very first post on this thread to include a list of all the participants. Your name is on it, so I think you're in! Looks like we will be trading journal pages with each other shortly, I'm looking forward to meeting you...

Hi folks, Just wondering about the amount of pages we are doing. I feel like I can do 2 for everybody, maybe three. Is this acceptable.... I want to focus on quality not quantity. I know people think as a stay at home mom we have tons of time, but, that is really not true. I seem to have time for everyone but me....and this project is being done out of selfish motives! I see how creative you all are and I want to tap your creativity and get a lovely journal. I have all kinds of things assembled, and am dying to start because I am oozing with excitement just to tell you what I have planned for all of you. In fact I have started a page already, just to see what I can do and regardless of the list this page is going to someone in our group as a special gift......because of a special upcoming event......! Can't wait to start!!!!

For your other question : I am doing one page with maybe some bits on the back, but on art paper or something close to that. Some art, some writing--it depends on what spontaneous combustion occurs as I go along. I'm not a proponent of pre-planning, I like to zoom randomly through parking lots searching for faces in the asphalt.

blackroseivy	03 Sep 2004
I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to, well, do! :D But I *do* have a brand-spankin'-new journal ordered from Amazon, so I suppose the sky's the limit! :cool:

seneris	03 Sep 2004
Dan's absolutely right. Is it possible to split the two threads again? I'm feeling a bit lost now about who's replying to whom...

Gardener	03 Sep 2004
I'm sure they are different threads, because neither Peace pixie nor DewDrop are on the list of people participating in this project, Tarot Pens Part 2. I think DewDrop may be proposing a third project, unaware that there is already a second underway.

September Pixie	03 Sep 2004
I have just gotten final addresses from all participating parties, You will be mailed instructions in order of your number :) darwinia being first ;) DewDrop, these are two seperate projects with completely seperate lists :) The mailing list has been in place since the 2nd week of the project :) but is very close to what we have in place. There are no limits to the amounts of pages you can create, the only thing you must do is include something handwritten (and the envelopes don't count! :P ) with your project sheet. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ More Instructions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You can create ANYTHING you like, tell them something about you, about your tarot expierence, draw a tarot card, paste a tarot card, print things out on your printer, etc, there really are no 'rules' on what you create.. Emails are being sent right now! :D

September Pixie	03 Sep 2004
I pm'd Sulis about keeping the threads seperate, I think changing the title and adding a link to the first thread in the first post would make it MUCH easier to keep track of, merging them might lead to more confusion about who is sending what out to whom when some of us are on both lists. :)

Sulis	03 Sep 2004
Sorry for the confusion - the thread I was talking of merging this one wasn't Peace Pixie's Tarot Pens thread but DewDrop's Tarot Pens thread (a few too many threads with the same title). I've left Dewdrop's thread where it was - hopefully that's sorted. Panic not - I've not gone mad :) Love Sulis xx

September Pixie	03 Sep 2004
rofl Thanks Sulis :D

darwinia	03 Sep 2004
Okay, I got my list, looks like I'll be buying lots of carboard flat mailers at the post office.

darwinia	09 Sep 2004
Nina and Co. I have had some alarming things happen online, and I'm going to drop out of the journal exchange before it gets started. I deeply apologize, but due to circumstances, I don't feel safe online at the minute. Sorry. I hope you have fun, it sounds like such a great project.

wildchilde	09 Sep 2004
Darwinia, I hope everything is alright for you! please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. will be sending love and light your way!!! In the mean time...I have received no word from September Pixie or anyone else about the "next step". Was this supposed to be an email, a PM, or regular mail??? I'm confused! But anxious to get started on this project (if I only knew what I was supposed to be doing!)

Satori	09 Sep 2004
darwinia-hope all is well. what will you do with those rubber stamps???

SongDeva	09 Sep 2004
I haven't received a list yet; has anyone other than Darwinia?

Gardener	09 Sep 2004
Hi everyone! I noticed that September Pixie hasn't posted in the last few days, and I suspect she has become swamped with real life fall projects. Happens to us all, eh? I know we had a lot of excitement and momentum going, and I don't want to lose it, so I'm making a suggestion to get us all started. If we look at the very first post of this thread, September Pixie told us the types of things to make for each other, and listed the participants. I suggest that we each begin making a journal entry for the person below us on that list. To illustrate, I would start making an entry for elf, and elf would start making one for ambermoon. We could pm each other for ideas, or just post them here. For example, I think I want to make elf a two-page entry focusing on just one card, her favorite card from the minors. I don't know what I'll do yet, but I'm ready to get started so that's my suggestion. What do you all think?

contrascarpe	09 Sep 2004
I am game to get going as well. We still need the list of addresses though. Dan

Ravenswing	09 Sep 2004
Hi guys-- Why don't we PM our address to the person above us on the list? Since they'll be the one sending stuff out to us, we could get things rolling. That would mean I'm sending out my address to you Dan... fly well Raven

Satori	09 Sep 2004
ok I just sent gardener my new favorite card and my address. ambermoon, please send me yours.....and let's goooooooo!

ambermoon	09 Sep 2004
I'm in favor of starting now. I sent Elf a PM with my info. Contrascarpe--you're first on my mailing list. PM me with your details. ambermoon

seneris	10 Sep 2004
Okay, so I'll PM Ravenswing my address. If you need to know anything, just ask!

mooncat2	10 Sep 2004
Hi everyone, How confusing! Like Darwinia I received my list and presumed everybody else had too. If you haven't then perhaps a PM to SP because it sounded to me like she intended to get them all out on the same day so something has gone wrong. Here are the names in the order she sent: Songdeva Gardener elf ambermoon contrascarpe96 ravenswing seneris sassygirl3124 wildechilde darwinia danubhe mooncat2 If you want to get started begin with the name below yours and if you want the full list let me know and I'll email it to you.

Ravenswing	10 Sep 2004
Hi guys-- Well, seems we can get moving. One suggestion for mailing. You can send your package 'media mail'. Just as fast as normal mail and cheaper. Especially for those of us who tend to be rather verbose :D fly well Raven

Ravenswing	10 Sep 2004
Hi again-- I just had a thought. Perhaps September Pixie is having the same on-line problem as Darwinia. That might explain her silience and why no-one other than mooncat got a list. I just PM'd her. We'll see what goes... In the meantime, I'm off write some pages. Mooncat-- Would it be okay with you if everyone sends you their e-mail addresses? You could get the lists out to everyone that way. fly well Raven

blackroseivy	10 Sep 2004
SP has been gone because she has had some family troubles - I just e-mailed her. She said to tell you-all that she should be back up & running by next week - Monday is her b-day, incidentally! Just an FYI! :D

Satori	10 Sep 2004
I'd also like to keep darwinia in the loop and do a page for her. She was so excited about the project...if anyone else wants to suprise her then lets. She may need a pressie if she is getting bogus email or online yuckies.

mooncat2	10 Sep 2004

LOL - I've been in a panic all week because I haven't had time to start and thinking everyone else was busy churning out creative masterpieces!!

Ravenswing	11 Sep 2004
mooncat-- I got the list this morning. Only problem is you're not on it... Whenever you can, could you send me your stats. Now I'm off to write my piece for seneris.... fly well Raven

September Pixie	11 Sep 2004
Everyone, I am having quite a few problems at home these days, my aunt just had very risky surgery, my grandmother (a diabetic) just had surgery, my mom is in the middle of 3 hurricanes, and my dog just had an alergic reaction to a bee sting, AND (yup there is more!) I am faced with some motherboard problems on my PC, which apparently has effected some of the emailing processes.. Some people werent included in the list in the first round of emails, PLEASE be aware that EVERYONE has a different mailing system and repeating your list isnt going to help people get their things done because 2 people had been left out and only the first few on the list would actually get pages.. PLEASE bare with me!! I do have the problem corrected but I am hesitent to send from my personal email so I am asking my boyfriend to send for me, just PLEASE be patient!! :) Thank you all for your concern. :)

Ravenswing	11 Sep 2004
SeptPixie-- When it rains.... I'll keep in a holding pattern 'til I hear from you. fly well Raven

Satori	11 Sep 2004
......holding.......

Satori	11 Sep 2004
(((((((((((((((september Pixie)))))))))))))))))

wildchilde	11 Sep 2004
September Pixie...so sorry to hear of your recent family problems! I certainly hope everyone recovers quickly and that you are taking good care of YOURSELF as well. We can all wait until you are in a better space to continue on...meanwhile just working up a page or two here or there until we get back on track. Blessings from our Creator to you and your family!

contrascarpe	12 Sep 2004
Please remove my name from the list on this project. For the record, it has nothing to do with the delay, I hope everything turns out OK, SP. Dan

September Pixie	12 Sep 2004
Thanks for understanding :) Does Gardener still want to be a part of this? I will wait to hear from her before mailing out the lists. :)

Gardener	12 Sep 2004
Hi September Pixie, Yes, I would still like to be part of this project. Please keep me on the list!

September Pixie	12 Sep 2004
alright :) I am ready to start resending, my apologizes in the delays and technical problems.. computers are fickle little things! :)

ambermoon	15 Sep 2004
I'm sorry to be dropping out when this is just getting off the ground, and it's not out of any conflict. I'm always juggling a very crazy schedule, and was going to use some down-time to get a managable start on this exchange--painting backgrounds and pages when I had the studio time, and taking the writing with me while I was travelling. The timing just didn't work out for me, and I'm going to be on the go from now until early December. peace to all, ambermoon

SongDeva	15 Sep 2004
I'm confused; are the lists going out by mail or email? If email, I still don't have one.

Gardener	15 Sep 2004
I'm confused too! Can anyone who has a list tell us? I was thinking that we could all at least start making something for the person whose name is below us on the list, although I guess with Darwinia, Contrascarpe and ambermoon not being involved any more, we need to update the list. September Pixie, I understand you are having trouble with email. Would it be possible for you to just help us get started by telling us, here in this thread, something about where to begin? Shall we each start a journal entry for the next person on the list, as I suggested last week? We could each post or PM about cards we'd like each other to focus on, perhaps?

blackroseivy	15 Sep 2004
I *still* don't have my printer, & I'm *still* not sure how to start!

Satori	15 Sep 2004
I'm considering dropping out too. I am waiting patiently, but would like to know something....anything, about what is going on. FYI:I haven't recvd anything from anyone, except from ambermoon who is now out of the loop. :( This must be one of those spiritual test situations where if you hang with it you are rewarded....that is what I tell myself. I'm sorry that September Pixie is having problems, and I am sympathetic. Perhaps she could tag one of us to help her out...???

September Pixie	16 Sep 2004
Lists are being emailed, I also have not been contacted by anyone regarding the lists and wanting details. Ambermoon will still be on the first 3 lists emailed, please cross her off and continue on with the regular scheduals. Everyone should recieve their list today.

September Pixie	16 Sep 2004
---- EVERYONE'S LIST HAS BEEN EMAILED ---- If you don't recieve one, have any questions, or problems, please PM me. From this point on, if anyone drops out, you will simply need to just skip their names :) Good luck!

sassygirl3124	16 Sep 2004
Just wanted to let everybody know that my e-mail address has changed and I am no longer using the one that I posted so if you need to get ahold of me please PM me. Thank you Julie

Gardener	16 Sep 2004
Hi September Pixie, I have finally received my list, thank you. I don't understand what you mean by "I also have not been contacted by anyone wanting lists or details." I've seen numerous requests to you for information here on the thread. I know you have had some personal crises and computer problems, which explains the delay, but trust me, we've been trying to contact you! Has everyone else received their lists?

Satori	16 Sep 2004
I have my list.......

Satori	16 Sep 2004
OOO yeah, I wanted to say, that I am changing my favorite card to the Hermit....or adding another favorite. Thanks!

Ravenswing	16 Sep 2004
Well-- I'm out of a holding pattern. First up-- Seneris fly well Raven

darwinia	16 Sep 2004
I got a list too. Sorry SP but I dropped out before it started, think you sent me one by mistake. Please don't send me anything, I cannot reciprocate. Stuff going on. Thanks, very sorry to trouble you.

wildchilde	16 Sep 2004
AAAAACCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK! here i have been, just waiting for the information to arrive...and today i got my list and suddenly i realize that i better get to work on these journal pages!!! :laugh: thanks for keeping it all together for us SP! just a quick follow-up to make sure i understand...whatever pages we have created go to the first person on the list, and then we mail pages to each person in turn...right?? In other words, we don't wait til all our pages are done and mail to everybody at once! Okay then...hey guess what? SP you are the first on my list!!! Hopefully will have some stuff ready to send you after the weekend!

Satori	16 Sep 2004
Hi everyone, Well, we are all so excited to be starting that whoever is top of the list is going to get some great stuff! Ravenswing, I just finished several pages for you! It just really flowed, and with the kids and the husband sleeping, well just look out creativity happening! So as soon as I find a wide enough envelope I will send it along. Sorry to say, this bigger than standard 81/2X11, but it is worth it. I hope.... blessings, Claudia

seneris	17 Sep 2004
Got my list as well! Going to start as soon as possible.

SongDeva	18 Sep 2004
Can I just ask; what size are we all shooting for? I bought a bunch of 12X12 paper, and will trim down as necessary.

mooncat2	19 Sep 2004
Hello Everyone, Really sorry to have to say that I'm withdrawing from this project .The sudden illness of a friend today leaves me no choice - I just couldn't cope. Please remove my name from your lists . Hopefully whoever was doing mine hasn't sent anything off and can send to SongDeva instead. I have emailed SP.

Satori	20 Sep 2004
Hi everyone, I noticed darwinia is back, and is not receiving PM'S. Darwinia, if you are still getting our notices, please pop in and tell us how you are? :) sorry to see mooncat go....bye mooncat....

Sort of worked I made the mistake of listening to Launchcast on the weekend and got all excited about something or other. Just doing the Daily Thoth online for now. Think things are on the upswing, maybe. Thanks for asking, that's nice of you.

SongDeva	20 Sep 2004
Posting again as to what page size we are all shooting for. I bought 12X12 paper that I'll need to trim....to what size?! Help!

Gardener	21 Sep 2004
Hey SnogDeva, I vote for 9x12, that's what I've started with. I'm planning on doing two cards for my first member of the circle, elf, her two favorites. I'm looking for good quotes and working on a little bit of painting for them... Anyone want to give hints about what they are including?

SongDeva	21 Sep 2004
Quote: Originally posted by Gardener Anyone want to give hints about what they are including? Nope.

Satori	21 Sep 2004
Sounds awesome gardener.... and the size should be whatever moves you songdeva....9X12 is fine...anything is fine with me. I'm terrified people will get my pages and go....that's it? I know this isn't a competition, but even tho the tarot gods love burnt offerings I'm hoping mine don't end up that way..... I'm doing a collage for everyone. Two pages of journaling, at least. A page of free associations on the favored card and a surprise and sometimes something cool I printed out.... and a sentiment.... and of course all of this could change....

SongDeva	21 Sep 2004
Sounds awesome, Claudia! And Gardner, I know you'll do some lovely stuff. Me, I'm photocopying the newspaper, and taping a couple of tarot cards on top. Minimalist journaling. ;)

Satori	21 Sep 2004
Yeah, well, don't bother copying anything but the National Enquirer for me. I love yellow journalism. The yellower the better............ Well, no puppy pee...... :) In fact, some of the photography in the Star and Enquirer is pure genius.....Especially the sightings of Christian Icons. Quality stuff... **elf worries now that SongDeva will send volumes of cut and pasted Natl Enquirers to her door....**

blackroseivy	21 Sep 2004
I *still* have no printer with which to show off my artwork!! I am writing a longish essay for everyone - then there will be personalized letters. I hope that's ok! But it's gonna be until I can get my printer working before anyone hears from me.

Ravenswing	21 Sep 2004
i'm running a bit slow due to life's little intrusions. But... I should be making my first mailing this weekend. And once I get into full swing, things'll start flying... fly well Raven

Ravenswing	23 Sep 2004
... seems that I'm having more intrusions from all sides at the moment. And one of those dark noght of the soul periods. I'm having trouble getting things together on almost all fronts-- my cards don't even make any sense to me. I'm going to drop out of the circle for the time being... but I've still got the listing. As soon as this blows over, I'll get things out to you all. My regrets fly well Raven

SongDeva	23 Sep 2004
Good grief people! This is supposed to be fun, not yet another task to complete! I suggest you all remove the pressure from yourselves, and do the journal for the next person when it feels natural. And on the receiving end, we'll all just need to be patient. Definitely take a tarot break if you need one, I just did. I could prbably use another week off. I just hate to see this turn into something not fun, which is what happens when we pressure ourselves. Journalling can't be forced anyway. I can tell you I for one will not send anything until I feel the flow a startin'. I'm not sending crappy, guilt-ridden rushed pages. Not doing it! Songdeva stamps her foot. I think the real deal will be worth the wait. Sd

I think I'll just take best possible deck for it - the Visconti, nice, *biiiiiiig* cards!! - & make card houses.

Let's try it at Borders tonight.

September Pixie	23 Sep 2004
Ok, so we have had 3 drop outs since this started? Could those of you wishing NOT to be a part of this PM me so I can remove your addresses? I also wanted to stress.. THERE ARE NO TIME REQUIREMENTS! This doesnt mean you have to do everyone in under 6 weeks or anything, so don't feel pressured to have to do one right now! If you are having some troubles, please post and let us know, I am sure we will all understand :) I'm having some PC troubles.. something about my windows BIOS and my mother board (*rolls eyes* My pc is from 2000 and thats pretty ancient in the PC world my S.O. tells me, so he's fixing it.. I have access to the net only briefly at a time, so please bare with me), so I am a little lagging, if I don't respond right away, PLEASE be patient, I didn't abandon the ship! :) I've started on the first person's project.. will post when I am ready to ship :)

Satori	23 Sep 2004
Hi gang, I have shipped out to Ravenswing and to Seneris. I hope you enjoy your pages. I enjoyed doing them.

Ravenswing	24 Sep 2004
no, I have no intention of dropping out-- I'm just having a bit of rough roads that I'm traveling now. And they need lots of focus to get through. You'll all hear from me as soon as things balance out. fly well Raven

Beaming another burst of love towards Ravenswing. Glad to know you are still with us, Ravenswing. "Black bird singing in the dead of night, Take this broken wing and learn to fly......

I am about to *finally* get the stoopid ink cartridge for my printer - this means *I* am about to be up & running! If "wildchilde" sees this - she's at the top of my list - I have a hand-calligraphed letter to you, & I am working on an essay for everyone that I will print out; I will print out what I can with my printer. I am going to send people samples of my deck that I have thus far - a lot of work got lost because the CD I was using was too full. So I have to redo a lot of work, & am not looking forward to it! :( Oh well, them's the breaks! I will be pleased to have you-all see what I have to show, anyway! :D

seneris	25 Sep 2004
I got my first pages today, from Elf. And are they beautiful or what! Elf, you made my day! Now I'm very, very inspired...

Satori	27 Sep 2004
Dear Seneris, Thankyou for your lovely response. I am very glad you like your pages, and I am breathing a little sigh of relief. I am concerned tho, because Ravenswing did not say if he recvd his package or if he liked the contents.... He should have gotten his before you. Just goes to show, you can't always please all the people.... Thanks again Seneris. I had fun with it. Glad you are inspired! Ravenswing, if you really disliked the pages let me know. I'll do something different... I'm hoping you are well, and just caught up in whatever it is that has you flying in a holding pattern...

Ravenswing	28 Sep 2004
elf-- As of yet, I haven't gotten your pages. I'll let you know as soon as they arrive. fly well Raven

September Pixie	06 Oct 2004
I got some pages from wildchilde in the mail today and WOW! I am really impressed! I am hoping to take yours (wildchilde) to the PO at the same time as the other journal (hopefully friday), I hope you all are enjoying the process as much as I am :)

Satori	06 Oct 2004
Ravenswing got his pages! :)

wildchilde	06 Oct 2004
I'm happy and relieved you like your pages September Pixie! :) Almost done with Danubhe's! (taking longer than expected) And next up on my list is SongDeva! (watch for a PM, okay) Haven't received anything yet...but I know Danubhe has pages winging my way and I can't wait!!! This is very exciting! Thanks everyone for participating in the project!

blackroseivy	06 Oct 2004
Yeah, I especially hope you like the cards I did!!! ;) I need to notifiy the next person that they are up, & I'm getting around (yawn) to working on it!! :D Seriously, probably over the next week or so!

wildchilde	09 Oct 2004
Danubhe--I got 'em!!! Everything is just lovely!! And I am sooo honored to have been gifted your original artwork for The Fool! I can't believe you sent that! BTW...I did finally get your package in the mail yesterday! WHEW! Sorry to take so long, but am hoping you like it! Now, on to SongDeva!

blackroseivy	09 Oct 2004
So happy they arrived, so glad you liked it!!!!!!! :) I started the hand-lettered list on your letter before I got to that point in my essay, & just decided to be redundant, since that's good parchment. As long as that's ok! :) I hope to get your work soon. About the drawing: yeah, I need to re-draw that card, & I really wanted to do *something* with it, rather than have it languish in my drawing-book. I wanted to give it to someone who would appreciate it - so, why not? :D Happy you are enjoying it! Now I have to work on the next person: can't remember the handle offhand. I know Carol withdrew; well, I talked to the person, so that's ok. Sorry I forgot your 3-card draw - I can still send it seperately if you'd like. :D Talk latah!!!!!!!!! Edited to add: Oops, it looks like SongDeva it is for me, too, also! :D

wildchilde	20 Oct 2004
I finally got SongDeva's packet to the post office today! Moving on to #4 on my list...(drumroll please...)Gardener!! (expect a PM soon) :) September Pixie: I have not received your package! Did you mail it yet?

seneris	24 Nov 2004
Hey, it's been a while. It's taking me much longer than I thought to create pages. I hope no one's mad at me for not having sent anything yet. Perhaps I should back out of this project. I don't know how much longer people would want to wait for anything...

SongDeva	25 Nov 2004
I think we're all a bit off track and doing out best. Just get them out when you can. Our weird start -then stop -then start...threw people off! :)

Gardener	29 Nov 2004
Ah, the guilt! Yes, I received Wildchilde's pages ages and ages ago. Thank you, sweetie, they are a treasure and lovely! I haven't gotten my list rolling, I confess. I owe elf. I owe everyone! I really am dedicated and determined to do this, but life has inconveniently gotten in the way. So many different ways life can get in the way, eh? So if nobody is in a hurry, they will eventually get something! Perhaps even in time for Christmas... (winter solstice for the non-Christians) So no, Seneris, I am most definitely not upset at your delay and I would be delighted to receive pages from you whenever you get around to it!

Satori	29 Nov 2004
Guilty. Only two on my list done and so many to go. I am in for the duration too, but so many things intrude. I'm quilting for Christmas at the moment. and making Tarot sacks and spreadcloths....so, I'm a little behind on journal pages. We'll get there. hugs, Claudia
