Hello and Happy Summer Farmgirls!
We are once again exchanging names to send each other fun and unique pieces of art through the mail! I will send each of you an email by June 31st, 2012 with the name and address of your partner.
THEME (optional) : The State Fair
DEADLINE FOR MAILING : August 15, 2012
COST : Free! Mail art can be made of scraps, can be a postcard, can be a decorated recipe. The only requirements are that it be fun, creative, and mailable, in that order. :)
Thank you so much to each member who participates for making this exchange so fun and cool and we welcome new members at any time.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer,
Rachael La Rock
Happy Trails!

Rachael, I sent you the State Fair themed box of goodies for our mail art exchange in August!!!!!!! Yikes, it must have really been sitting on someones desk for a bit (-: I am sorry I did not see your post sooner, I have not been on in a couple of weeks. I am glad to hear that everything made it ok. I had been out of town up until the package was due to be sent so forgive my lack of 'art'. I am happy to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the goodies.
Have a great week!!!!!
Mari
Have a great day Farm Sister!!

Hello, someone sent me this fabulous gift of treats-- with the theme of a state fair, which was AWESOME-- but the box came beat up and late (with an apology from the mail carrier) and I can't see who sent it. If you are fantastic and you sent me this, would you please speak up? I just wanted to thank you so much for such a thoughtful gift. My husband and I enjoyed it immensely. It reminded us of our visit to the Missouri State Fair a few years back (like 10+, that is a few now!) and it was a wonderful time. Thank you again, Rachael
Happy Trails!

Pam,
Thank you so much for the August Mail Art. I loved the theme of State Fairs. Your art work I know brought back such wonderful memories for you. I hope you kept your Step Mom's recipe for her Fair award for best cherry pie. And I love the picture of your Grandpa with his horses Pete and Sue. I know he was so proud of winning horse pulling contest for three years in a row. I really like the tags you sent. I am going to put my favorite recipe on each one and put it on the fridge. My husband and I sat on the back porch last night (we have hanging swings facing each other) and ate one package of the cotton candy you sent. Love that stuff. We laughed and talked about all that we use to do and see at our own Texas state fair many years ago. I am going to hang your state fair card in my craft room.
Thanks so much again.

Fall is a great idea. I will use that for October and we can do a dual theme with Halloween (that way folks who don't dig the Halloween theme have an option). Thanks for the suggestions!

of "All Things Fall" as it seems our fearless leader was on the same Wave Length
already.

Hey Rachel...we could do an "All Things Fall" Theme. All the oranges, browns, greens,
reds etc just makes for Beautiful Art!!

Judy~ I did! I did get it! I even have a few of the caramels left :) I left a message at the bottom of page 3. I am still trying to send a picture to myself to post. I am not sure why my phone and e mail are disagreeing with each other, but I will try to work on that again.
I hope you get your package soon. It had a long trip up there :)
