We are ready to go!! Partners are as follows:

Joyce and Marilyn
Debbie and Dianna
Laurie and April

Hope you all include a wee letter about your summer with your stationary! Happy letter writing to you! Email your partners for mailing addresses!! Thank you for joining!!



Hey there Farmsisters!!!
I was recently going through some paperwork of mine and came across some love letters from my dad to my mom. I took a break from cleaning, teary eyed and thankful that I still had them and these were safe in my care. I began to read over some of my special letters from dear friends around the world and by the end of my lengthy break, my heart was so filled with warm thankfulness and love!

How about you? Do you re-read letters you've gotten through the years and do they warm your soul? Are you a letter writer or card sender?? Are there friends and family you STILL keep up with by snail mail?

Hand written letters are becoming a lost art, yet,
I think we can all say that we enjoy a hand written letter
delivered to us in our mail box now and then, don't we?
I actually enjoy writing personal words to others either
in a card or on pretty stationary, which is hard to find these days.

#9734; #9734; ~ #9825; #9825; ~ #9734; #9734;

SO, how about a stationary swap? A AUTUMNAL/fall swap? I FEEL it in the air despite our 90' temps! We would be assigned ONE partner, make-create 6 pieces of stationary ( matching envelopes optionally) and swap these with our assigned partner AS WELL as penning a sweet letter about yourself and what the Autumn season means to you!

ALL varieties of materials can be used to create these 6 pieces of stationary; paint, ink, collage, drawings, deco, mixed media, etc! Let's keep it in the fall color spirit of things!!

IF by chance you don't have time to CREATE your stationary but you'd like to participate, if you have some beautiful sheets you'd like to share, I am SURE none of us would mind!! :)

So, 6 sheets of handmade or decorative stationary with envelopes (matching optional). Last day to sign up would be October 28th, partners assigned Oct. 29th, mail off Oct. 30th. Have fun and thank you for joining in!

Marilyn, I really enjoyed my stationary that came in the mail today. I loved the onion skin paper - decorated so prettily. Thank you very much. I loved the history lesson that you gave me as well. It's very special and I will treasure it. It will be hard to use!

Ih my Dear Sweet Dianna, I am just so sorry I have not posted sooner that I received your lovely stationery, little cinnamon broom and your most welcome letter..
I do hope you will forgive me I have just been so busy packing and doctor appointments that I am just sorry overwhelmed. Then Kent leaves Friday for Illinois to be with family and get to a lower altitude. I hope it will make him feel better. Please know I would never intentionally forget to post Farmgirl mail as I love getting mail so much. Please have a wonderful week.
P.S, My guys got to my goldfish before I did, they said to thank you:-)



Big Hugs,
Debbie
