It's time to sign up for September 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 SEPTEMBER, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to join in. Sign-up is available through September 15. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster.
The month of September heralds the beginning of Fall, one of my favorite seasons, so let's make Fall our theme this month. And as always, if the theme is not right for you, feel free to do your own thing.
I will send an email with your partner to you on September 16. Please send your Mail Art before September 30.
I'd like to encourage everyone to post a comment on the current month's thread when you receive your mail art. And if you can, a picture is nice. A quick thanks lets your partner know you received your mail art.
A couple more 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!
Kristi

I'm glad you like it Mary Jo, I fretted that the bottom is too thick with the leaf & lace. It was fun to do, I have not had my plant press out in years! Happy fall, it is absolutely glorious in NH today - wishing you a beautiful day as well!

I received a lovely mail art from Aimee this last week. An adorable hand decorated box. Very lovely and intriguing. Inside were these little treasures:
Three Acorn caps with colored felted "acorn" bottoms. (Squirrel food!). And a beautiful necklace with crumbles colorful fall leaves and silver colored feather and chain. Such a creative and lovely mail art. Thank you, Mary
Tried to,upload, but computer is stubborn tonight. I'll try later.

Rebecca W.,
Just picked up my package today. Thank you so very much for the lovely wreath!! The coaster and notebook will be used often. After I finish typing this, I am going to put the wreath on my front door. Thank you.
Sincerely,

I forgot to mention that there is even a cute pen decorated with leaves on top to write in it! It goes right through the binding, making sure I won't lose it! -^-^- A great precaution in my case! |

I just went up to my postal office to retrieve a fantastic parcel from April! Even the packaging was cute!
 
I LOVE the cute homemade books with all its pockets and tags! My Fall Smash book for sure! There is a ton of stuff in it; even an handmade crocheted dolly.
You are really creative!
Thanks and have a nice fall,

Thank you so much Dahl, for your lovely package. A fabric paper towel...which I had heard about, but never seen...and now I have one. Perhaps I will be inspired to make some myself. The pretty bag in which to keep my plastic bags will look SO MUCH NICER than the plastic bag they are in now. I love the cute pumpkin you made with its delicate leaves, and the candle too. Your package was picked up at the PO when I was on my way to the hospital to get my husband. I was so happy when I opened it because it was a bright Autumn spot in my stressful week.Thank you.
There are TWO TOWELS, one yellow and o n e orange. What a neat idea. Thank you Dahl.

Running extraordinarily late with too many projects and too many weeks and days out of town in September. Mailing this Saturday. Soo sorry... Soo late.

Thanks so much to my September mail art partner from Wisconsin. I don't know her first name but she sent me two beautifully colored postcards and some pressed Maple leaves! What a lovely treat to open on a dreary gray morning in Western WA!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Lola,
Thank you for the microwave cozy. What a wonderful and clever idea. I would never have thought of something like this. I appreciate you also including the pattern. I see myself making a few as Christmas gifts. Thanks again.

I am so very sorry to my partner for not getting your packaged mailed yet. It has been a rough couple of weeks and things have just gotten to me. We have had several major appliances break down, the water heater, toilet and the master cylinder on my brakes went bad so I have no vehicle at the moment and then Thursday my husband was injured at work and spent three days in the hospital. Everything hit all at once and I let it overwhelm me I promise to get my package mailed this week. So very sorry I am so late.

Thank you Mary Jo Winter for my very first beautiful mail art. The potpourri is floating fall thru my house. The picture holder has your beautiful butterfly picture in it with your paper art on the backside. I cant wait for Oct's mail art.

So glad you liked your Mail Art! I had such a fun time crafting all of it; and some serious cogitating to figure out how to add my birch bark to my cover (my sewing machine wasn't happy with me at all! -^-^-)
Have a wonderful Fall! xx |
