Hello Fellow Farmgirls and Mail Artist Enthusiasts!
It is time again for us to exchange mail art with each other! The theme this month is birthdays-- each of you has been matched with someone whose birthday is at a similar time (I did the best I could, gals!) You can make your mail art a celebration of that person's birthday, or you can make whatever you feel like making. It is just a suggested theme, not a strict rule.
As usual, please get your partner's mail art in the mail by July 15th. You should get your partner's name in an email from me by the end of the day June 2nd.
If you have any questions or concerns, let me know, and when you get something in the mail, please please please remember to acknowledge it here in this forum and s picture would be even better!
Thanks all,
Happy Trails!
Rachael

I recieved my mail art from Jill in Maine yesterday. I absolutely love it. I love the fair idea, and we love the tractors as well. The only reason we go to our fair (De state fair) is the see the animals, tractors and exhibits. I am going to post a picture of this as soon as I find where it stored it on my computer. After an update all of my folders are weird.(recieved this the other day, but wasn't paying attention and posted to the wrong thread. oops) I love it and will get a pic posted today. I just finished my mail art project today and it is on its way. :) I loved doing this one.

Ladies,
Sometimes when you go to the mail you get a surprise that leaves your mouth wide open!!  LOL Mary Jane aka Madelena sent the MOST beautiful handmade creations! It's like she came for a visit & knew what to send! For a person that can't draw a stick manher water colour paintings is beyond wonderful! The hand sewn cat doll is sooo cute. She'll go in my sewing room! I adore flowers so it was really thoughtful of Mary to send a booklet of TX spring flowers!
The very best part was getting to know Mary through her loving lettter!
HUGE HUGS
Mary!
PS I've asked Mary to post a pic for me! Camera troubles! GRRR!
country wishes! |

Doris in Red Oak, Tx....
I received your mail art today. It's great. Thanks for the bright & cheery seed packets & the notebook with my name on it. How did you know I wanted a new snack today and none of my cookbooks were cutting it? Presto... a new snack cookbook too. Thanks again..jpg)

Hello Farmgirls!
It is time to do our August exchange of mail art!
I have created the August forum and here is the link:
http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=59498
I am so glad everyone is having fun with this exchange and I appreciate everyone's efforts to keep it going.
See you in August!
Rachael
This picture is of the cards with each of your names that I match up each month. Although the teenager in our house pleads that this is "ole fashioned", I like it!
Happy Trails!

Jessie Mae,
Thank You sooo much for the neatest pop up card. I love pop up cards & I have to say yours is just GREAT! In person it looks like the hand is real & the butterfly all so delicate. So very creative with the tag in the front & the way in which you sent it, using a paper bag to make it look like a parcel from overseas :) Thank You (*_*)  
KEEP A SMILE IN YOUR HEART... |

This month's theme is fun!
Marti I got my belated birthday card, small gifts and lovely bird house-so cute.
I'm not as organized, I'll have yours out in the mail on Monday.
We just got back from a long weekend away, so last week getting ready left no room to get it out.
Just love it,
Thanks again,
Jessi Lynn
