Some of you may have heard of the phenomenon of mail art.
Recently, I've been cleaning out the bedroom I grew up in and have come across bundles of letters I received as a child. They're from girls I met at summer gymnastics camp, college friends and boxes of tightly folded back-and-forth notes passed in the halls of high school. Some of the bundles have found their way back to the writers. Others, I'm still searching for the long lost writers!
My point is, I miss receiving mail! I'd love to swap mail art with some like-minded people.
The cool thing about mail art is that you don't have to think up one-liners to send to a complete stranger. And it's not as committed as a pen pal. All you have to do is decorate a post card (or scrap of cardboard and call it a postcard) or an envelope and send it off. Found objects, bits of blurry photos you were going to toss when you purged your photo box, your best friend's favorite saying - the sky is the limit.
Anyone interested in giving this a try, email me your address and I'll send you my address.

Hello Farmgirls!
There is a NEW "MAIL ART - NEW FOR 2010" Thread started, it is at the top of the list in Farmgirl SWAP . . .
That is the CURRENT "MAIL ART" signup . . . if you are interested in this project please go to that thread.
You will need to read through the guidelines and:
- post there that you want to participate and
- email me with your contact information.
This post is "ARCHIVED" . . . and not the new one.
Hope to see you there!!!
THANKS!

Hello Gals,
Well, it finally looks like we ought to take a little hiatus from Mail Art. Seems like enough gals need to catch up on other things. But it has been marvelous and we'll start 'er back up after the new year... and get a new fresh list going then. So, be a watchin' for a Mail Art post in 2010!
Thanks to all of you that have participated. I'll be looking forward to our next go around.
