KristiW	Posted - May 01 2016 : 1:26:21 PM Happy, happy May! It's time to sign up for May Mail Art If this is your first time signing up for Mail Art, please visit the topic Farmgirl Mail Art to read our guidelines. Then leave a comment on that post if you want to participate and I will contact you. FOR MAY, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to join in. Sign-up is available through May 15. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster. This month, since May is National Flower Month, we'll focus on Flowers for our theme. And for our challenge, how about using a non-traditional material for your flowers (think fabric, plastic, wire, etc)? And as always, if the theme/challenge isn't right for you, feel free to march to the beat of your own artistic drummer. I will send an email with your partner to you on May 16. Please send your Mail Art before May 31. A couple of things to keep in mind: 1. Traditionally, Mail Art has been "secret"; part of the fun is receiving a surprise package from a surprise partner. I would encourage you not to tell your partner who you are until a reasonable amount of time has passed for them to receive your art. 2. Please be sure to include enough postage for your Mail Art to reach its destination :) If you have any questions or concerns, please send me an email. I'm always delighted to help. Happy Swapping!

TexasGran	Posted - Jul 09 2016 : 1:02:52 PM I forget to take photos before I mail, too. Sometimes I think it would be nice for my own reference later on.

Lolachella	Posted - Jun 27 2016 : 08:23:24 AM Sure wish I would have taken a picture of my May mail art before I shipped it! Was kinda groovy! My partner did thank me via email and that was appreciated! Always take a picture! Chella
saram	Posted - Jun 22 2016 : 4:56:10 PM oh my! You girls are all so creative, I just love seeing what you all make! And Jami, I'm really touched that you involved your granddaughter in your art-making. That is so sweet!
grammytammy	Posted - Jun 22 2016 : 06:44:38 AM My May mail art arrived, a set of sweet ladies to accompany summer! Thanks to South Forty for you gift. FarmGirl 2495 God loved us so much He gave His only son to die in our stead.
meguira	Posted - Jun 20 2016 : 8:37:07 PM Hi TexasGran! I just received your May Mail Art! I can't say no to such a cute towel! There is ALWAYS a need for one in my household! -^-^- Thanks again, Meg xxx
SouthForty	Posted - Jun 19 2016 : 2:35:30 PM Hi Rachel, That's what I thought the squares were but thought I should ask... since they are like little pockets, I thought maybe there was another use and I surely did not want to short change their usefulness! To Recipient FGSister, Please do not despair, your mailART package went out Friday and the clerk said it should be to you by Monday. I hope you enjoy the "art" - it was certainly a brainchild and is probably something only a fellow farmgirl sister could probably appreciate. Sorry it took so long to get it off but this month had more than it's share of challenges here on the homefront. Cheers to all and may you all have a wonderful and safe "Father's Day!"

Bleeni	Posted - Jun 19 2016 : 12:20:22 PM Here is the sweet little Mail Art I got for May from Jami. She and her Granddaughter collaborated to make this lovely garden of flowers from pinecone petals. I also received a lovely stamp with a flower quote as well-keeping the flower theme. Great job with innovating, Jami! Thanks much!!! A Bleeni
KristiW	Posted - Jun 19 2016 : 05:55:19 AM Tammy, it is nice to post to the thread when you've received your mail art. We all like to know that our offerings have made it to their destination. It's also important to let me know if you don't receive mail art so that I can contact your partner. We don't want anyone left out of the exchange and I have a contingency plan if that happens. I will check with your partner to see what's up and get back to you. Sorry, and hopefully there's a good reason. Kristi Farmgirl Sister #6
grammytammy	Posted - Jun 19 2016 : 05:28:21 AM There was a post in the June Mail Art about thanking your giver on here so that yjey knew your package had been received. Got me thinking maybe I needed to post. I'm not complaining, but didn't receive May mail art. So, I'm mentioning it only as a way to make sure that the sender knows I haven't received it, in case there was shipping issues. Also, so they know why they haven't been thanked. Part of the fun of mail art is not knowing who your giver is, but maybe if the gift hasn't been acknowledged in a couple weeks of sending we need to contact the person we are giving to- assuring arrival?

sweettea59	Posted - Jun 11 2016 : 09:34:18 AM Jayme, I received your wonderful package on Thursday and just wanted to let you know. I love all the goodies, The bracelet is just too cute and please thank Iva for me. I do make fresh bread, it will be perfect and all the candy goodies. Take care Farmgirl Hugs & May all your Wishes come true. Sherry Farmgirl #2215 www.etsy.com/shop/markiebuck
rachelbee	Posted - Jun 09 2016 : 3:44:11 PM I use the crocheted thing as dish cloths and the squares are a set of coasters :) ___________________ Rachel, #6992
TexasGran	Posted - Jun 09 2016 : 1:15:56 PM I was sick the latter half of May, but my mail art is in transit and I sent an email with tracking info to my partner.

SouthForty	Posted - Jun 08 2016 : 4:09:10 PM Dear Sister Rachel, So sorry I forgot to acknowledge your pkg and post photos! I picked up the pkg a couple of weeks ago and it got buried on the "catch all" desk that was long overdue for a cleaning. I really thought I took care of this when it came in, but I see from scrolling back through this thread that I did not.... Oooooop, sorry for that. Thank you for the zippered bag and the crocheted item. It's too pretty to be a dishcloth, please tell me what I should do with it. (Sorry if I am ignorant and should already know.) Also thank you for the teas. The four little squares are super cute but again, I am at a loss for what they are used for. :( Boy, do I feel dumb right now! Again, I'm so happy to see the top of the desk and the bright sunshine now has a surface to reflect off of... it's been a wild spring and these long stretches of rain we're having here in TX sure make me lazy and ANY excuse will do to put off cleaning. As usual, I've made myself a promise to not let this get piled up like this again. . . we'll shall see!! ((HUGS)) SouthForty, MJFG#3794 \\|/\\|/ (u.u) ~V~ CHICKEN - LOVE ~~ You can put your boots in the oven but that don't make 'em biscuits! ~~
meguira	Posted - Jun 07 2016 : 7:03:59 PM Thanks Marilyn! I'm so glad it arrived in shape! I was starting to fret a bit... I'm glad you like the flower. It's such a fun media to work with! Hugs, Marilou
SouthForty	Posted - Jun 07 2016 : 3:00:31 PM Hello Sisters, Quick note to let my sister know that I am a bit behind with our mail art for May. It's been very busy here but we managed to snag some well overdue respite care and take a break last week! Intended to have my art in mail before the deadline but there was more planning involved in our mini-vaca than I had anticipated! Promise to get the art in the mail by Friday. Thank you for being patient and hope all of you are doing well. ((HUGS)) SouthForty, MJFG#3794 ~~ You can put your boots in the oven but that don't make 'em biscuits! ~*~
edlund33	Posted - Jun 06 2016 : 8:42:38 PM Marilou thanks so much for the absolutely beautiful poppy! I will post a picture soon but in the meantime I wanted to let you know the package has arrived in perfect shape! Update: here is a photo of the wonderful wet felted poppy flower Marilou sent. It's about 6" diameter and looks very real! I love how she used the tiny black beads around the center for interest and dimension.

Dreamer42	Posted - Jun 06 2016 : 12:07:42 PM Hi Sam! I just received your chalk and painted canvas today! Daisies are my mothers favorite flower and it so reminds me of her!! Thank you so much! Beautiful!! April Dreamer42
meguira	Posted - Jun 04 2016 : 3:18:08 PM Hum... Whoever is my Mail partner don't despair! I mailed it almost 3 weeks ago but well, since I'm from Canada, it might take more time... Just hope it's still intact -_-
KristiW	Posted - Jun 03 2016 : 2:35:52 PM Aimee your projects are always so amazing! I recognize that duct tape from the box you shipped my felted groundhog in Kristi Farmgirl Sister #6
Bleeni	Posted - Jun 03 2016 : 2:26:57 PM Sara! I am so glad you like it...yes, all kinds of pretty duct tape these days, I have become a hoarder! Love, Aimee Bleeni
saram	Posted - Jun 03 2016 : 1:29:09 PM Look what a farm girl in Maine does with duct tape! I think my fiber friend Aimee wins the prize for meeting the challenge portion of the month. Who knew they made flowered duct tape? Thanks Aimee! I will enjoy shopping with it! Sara
saram	Posted - Jun 03 2016 : 1:05:59 PM Me too! Mine is in the mail and arrives Saturday! Sorry, I should have chosen a less involved project for May. Sara M
mjscanlan	Posted - Jun 03 2016 : 05:34:37 AM Mine is on its way to my partner! If you have not received anything it might be coming from me. Thanks for your patience! MJ "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give."
