Scroll down for partners.
We had a lot of fun with this swap so let's do it again.
So this is my idea for this swap. Let’s create a small piece of Found Word Art to partially or wholly decorate a handmade postcard (any thick 4” x 6” piece of paper) or notecard cover (you can further decorate either any way you want), write a happy little note, and send it off to your partner. No tucks this time.
Your little poem or prose can have any theme, but let’s just keep it happy, positive, etc.
If you need ideas on how these are done Google "Found word art" There are several ways to do it but there really is no wrong way.
Sign- ups will be until July 30. Partners probably posted the 31st (shooting for the 31st, but life is unpredictable). You will have to contact your partner for their address. Mail out no later than August 15.
Madeline - Barbie
Jami - Ida
Jill - Marilyn
Jean - Dianna
Patsy - Marie
Contact your partner and get her mailing address. Create your word art and mail it to her by August 15th. Tucks not required; remember this can be done as a postcard. Post pictures. Most of all -- Have fun!

Jami,
Did you receive my word art? I resent it weeks ago after it was returned the first time for lack of postage. I hope it found you.

How DOES she do it with a broken wrist no less? Dianna gets my vote for Farmgirl Wonder Woman of the Day. Here is the delightful package she sent. Lovely word art message plus some delightful goodies including a little handmade booklet. I want to know more about that -- I love making books. The yummies -- YES! Now please tell me about the beautiful little package of disposable hankies. There must be a story behind those. This was my first swap . . . and what a treat it was. Jean.jpg?v 93893205) |

JEAN is hilarious!! I got the coolest found art!!! What a seamstress as well! Quick and witty!! I loved my 'Tucks' please note the packaging! Hahaha! The mask, handmade soap, tea and cowboy to( mullein plant leaf), ok, I'm laughing so hard! Brilliant, just plain fun. Thank you Jean. I laughed and giggled so much! Yours is on it's way but not nearly as precious as yours was to me!

Hello, Marilyn!
I am going to call the post office today and see what they can tell me, I was rather pleased with my little project and really wanted you to have it! Meanwhile, I wanted to share your wonderful message that you so cleverly assembled!
"Farmgirl sisters are the best! Although many miles separate their nests, just a prayer, a note, a swap brings about big smiles!"
No truer words, thank you again, Marilyn!

I received the card from Patsy.
The card reads "May you touch dragonflies and stars dance with fairies and talk to the moon."
In a separate package she sent a lot of stuff.
From the top - left to right
A very nice note
A round card saying "Where this is great love there are always wishes. - Willa Cather; A to-do list with Monday thru Sunday; A very nice little notebook; A to-do list which
says "Remember this" and stickers - one flower and five butterflys
6 sheets of lovely paper
There is more.
What lovely trim. The top is shown as back and front. Either way is beautiful. The bottom one has decorated hanging coins. The far left metal bar says "the journey awakens the soul".
How absolutely spoiled I feel. This came at the right time to lift my mood. Thank you so much.
