It's time to start signing up for JULY Mail Art!
If this is your first time signing up for Mail Art, please visit the topic Farmgirl Mail Art to read our guidelines.
FOR JULY, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to join in. Sign-up is available through JULY 10. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster.
The theme for this month is LOVE, in honor of the United States and Canada's Independence days! 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 JULY 12. Please send your Mail Art before JULY 31.
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. We all love seeing the inspiring art! And 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 and farmgirl hugs,
MaryJane's daughter,
Meg

I went for Canadian alright! Since it was the 150th, it was easier to find inspiration :)
The necklace isn't a real maple leaf Jutta; I made it with resin, adding some gold leaf in it. It is really a fun medium to work with!
Thanks Aimee :) |

Thanks Erin! I was scared it got lost in the mail somehow. And don't worry about, I know how can life can get in the way with too many things to do at the same time! Glad you enjoyed everything :)
Have a nice week,
Hugs xxx |

Such a lovely assortment of Canadiana Marilou. Is that a real leaf pendant? It's gorgeous and a great way to celebrate Canada's 150th! :)

Oh my goodness! This is how disorganized I am right now. I took the picture of my mail art on August 11, according to my iPad. I still have it in that position on my craft table right now. Needless to say, I have not been crafting lately. I just started to put away things in my craft room and I found this in the envelope from Marilou as well!

A beautiful maple leaf necklace! I'm so glad I found it! Thank you, Marilou!

My apologies Marilou. I thought I had posted that I receieved your mail art before I left for vacation but I must have forgotten to hit "submit reply"! Thank you so much for the cards and paper bag animals! Also, I have to tell you, I love your handwriting. It's so tiny and cute!

Thanks Marilou! It was my very first junk journal! Just finished my second one. I think I'm hooked!

Hi Dianna,
I've had such a wonderful day today. Earlier I met with a group of lovely ladies at our local yarn shop for our twice weekly knit together. Our friend and shop owner treated us all to a lovely peach-custard cream pie, yum. Then as if that wasn't awesome enough I found your package of goodies in the mail box on my way home.
Your journal is an inspiration and I'm excited to try the tea and treats. Thank you so much!!

Thanks Leslie for your pockets letter. This concept was also unknown to me! It was cute and touching. Thanks for your limonade recipe! I will be sure to make some next week. And will gladly enjoy a perfect cup of tea outside around my fire. Have a great summer! |

Hi Patsy,
I received my mail art today, so very cute, thank you! Loved your note that was enclosed in that most adorable little envelope. You listed out your likes and details about you and your family. Was so special and sweet, I even giggled out loud when I got to the one that said: I craft therefore I hoard, but neatly! Proof I can show my husband that I'm not the only one who does that! Thank you! Happy summer! ~ April
