dandelionhouse	Posted - Feb 14 2010 : 4:19:23 PM Today my hubby took me on a ride through the New England country side... While driving slowly down the back roads after visiting with my inlaws in their old farm house I was looking, o.k.(day dreaming) out the window at all the old farmhouses,barns,and cranberry bogs along the way. My mind drifted to Mary Janes Farm and the farmgirl fellowship.. It dawned on me that so many of the stories readers write and submit to the magazine are born in places just like the one I was driving through... Then it hit me... Mary Jane... are you listening What about a book that's made up of selected stories, poems,and guest writers articles since the beginning of the magazine? I see farm photo's old and new scattered throughout the pages! When I read those stories they bring such comfort and inspiration to me. They take me to places I have been and long to go,if only in my mind and heart.. Just blowing another dandelion seed out there...! Is it worthy of taking root? What do you say farmgirls?

dandelionhouse	Posted - Feb 16 2010 : 7:34:51 PM Thanks Shirly! Which articles are your's? I would love to read them! I have two articles published too! A Pinin for Pickets in the Feb/Mar issue and Make Each Day Your Masterpiece in the Oct/Nov issue... both 2009... I like the idea because it would be a book of " farmgirl" stories and a journal all in one! I love each section of the magazine as much as the Readers Write section...so I'm not playing favorites either I remember being so impressed reading my first issue, with the way the magazine featured it's readers words. It makes them a real " feature" of the magazine and adds such a richness to the overall content. In many ways, Mary Janes Farm isn't like most magazines... it feels more like a "place" to me! Thanks for putting in your 2 cents here Shirly! I went to your blog.. very nice.. I like your photo of the Keeping in Touch pages with all the pretty things around it! Hope to hear from others too~ Deb~ www.deborahjeansdandelionhouse.com home is where we all craft the life of our dreams.
jpbluesky	Posted - Feb 16 2010 : 6:30:36 PM I like this idea, and not just because I have had two articles published in the first issues!!! :) And to add a journal page to each article so that a reader could add their own thoughts. Great idea. Farmgirl Sister # 31 www.blueskyjeannie.blogspot.com Psalm 51: 10-13
dandelionhouse	Posted - Feb 16 2010 : 08:58:03 AM That's a great idea Bonnie! You could write down your own special memories and inspirations that each story or blog post brings up for you!

Bonnie Ellis	Posted - Feb 15 2010 : 11:21:36 AM How about that kind of book with journal pages in between where you can write your thoughts about the stories? Bonnie grandmother and orphan farmgirl
dandelionhouse	Posted - Feb 15 2010 : 07:44:28 AM Thanks Rene'! I just love to stir things up...:)! I wonder what Mary Jane (and publishers) will think? Hope your having a great " farmgirl " sort of day! Deb~ www.deborahjeansdandelionhouse.com home is where we all craft the life of our dreams.
