Cydnie	Posted - Apr 02 2019 : 10:50:06 AM Hello ladies! Spring has sprung and I don't know about you but I have been soaking up the sun every chance I get. Now that we're into April it's time to start thinking of our 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. FOR MAY, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to join in. Sign-up is available through APRIL 15th. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster.

Bluedog355	Posted - Jun 18 2019 : 7:28:55 PM Hi Jill, Glad it finally arrived, it's a shilly shally LOL! Look back a ways under swaps & you will see some examples from a swap dedicated to shilly shallys! Often people add lace or something to the edge, sorry I did not. There is a piece about them in one of Mary Jane's books :) Did you find my note, or maybe it got caught up in the packaging? I have a couple shilly shallys and continue to be surprised how often I find a use for them & people with me are generally impressed when I pull out this simple, yet handy item :) Vicki, No worries at all, I'm glad it was a fun surprise for Patsy! It's fun to see all the creative ideas and check in with a great bunch of gals! Have a wonderful day Farmgirl artists :) Diana Sister #6578
sheridan126	Posted - Jun 17 2019 : 8:21:41 PM Diana, I received your Mail Art delivery today, what a treat! Thank you so much for the beautiful fabric and embroidery floss, I cannot wait to make something lovely with them. You definitely brought a smile to my mailbox!

Cydnie	Posted - Jun 11 2019 : 09:50:52 AM Great glad to hear Vicki! What a lovely hummingbird feeder setup you have. ~Cydnie
suny58	Posted - Jun 10 2019 : 6:26:34 PM Oh my Vicki, your feeder is beautiful! So happy to see you don't have ted dyed water also!! I just read an article how the hummers are dying because people are allowing a deadly mold to build up by not washing them on a regular basis. I wash mine every 3 days when I change their food. It gets awfully hot here but I so enjoy them and their antics!! All the best for your summer!!!

Krissel	Posted - Jun 10 2019 : 5:30:25 PM Yes Cidnie I have it! I will get right on it for Diana and hopefully she is happy with it! Not sure what happened but here goes another shot at it! Lol! The hummingbirds are here and I have put up my first ever feeders! Yay! Farmgirl#7588 Laughter makes the heart strong!
Cydnie	Posted - Jun 10 2019 : 09:46:19 AM Hi ladies! Patsy no worries, Marilyn is your sender this time around! Vicki, your recipient is Diana Nelson. I sent you an email this morning, please let me know if you got it :) ~Cydnie
Krissel	Posted - Jun 08 2019 : 5:18:59 PM I'm sure I messed up and I am hoping to be forgiven! Keep all things received with good feelings sent too! Hopefully I will get better at this but for now I will stick with one thing a month and go from there! Things are blooming and sprouting and the hummingbirds are here in the Northeast! Yay! Farmgirl#7588 Laughter makes the heart strong!
Dirtduchess	Posted - Jun 08 2019 : 09:23:10 AM I received May Mail Art from Vickie and Marilyn. I was told to send May Mail Art to Vickie. Did I mess up somewhere? I WANT to keep both mail art sent to me. They are so pretty. Patsy Farmgirl 4678 Leave room in your garden for the fairies to dance.
Dirtduchess	Posted - Jun 08 2019 : 09:20:33 AM Received a May Mail Art picture from Vickie. The image on here does not do it justice. It is beautiful. Love the tucks. The back holder is so cute. Never had seen that before. Thank you. Hugs Patsy Farmgirl 4678 Leave room in your garden for the fairies to dance.

ladypony76	Posted - May 25 2019 : 8:46:30 PM Marilyn, So glad you liked everything. I used the glitter glue on mine. And I just adore woodstock, so very cute!! Angela #6681 Farmgirl Farming on Faith!
ladypony76	Posted - May 19 2019 : 4:28:47 PM Thank you for posting dianna dont know what is up with posting photos with my computer still trying to figure it out Angela #6681 Farmgirl Farming on Faith!
Dirtduchess	Posted - May 18 2019 : 2:54:33 PM Marilyn, Thanks for the infomation. Patsy Farmgirl 4678 Leave room in your garden for the fairies to dance.
edlund33	Posted - May 18 2019 : 10:46:06 AM I'm glad you like it Patsy. It was really fun to do. I did the raindrops with a product called Glossy Accents which I bought at my local rubber stamping & card making shop. It comes in a small applicator bottle similar to glitter glue. I bought the easel backs from Dick Blick Art Supply. They come in packs of 3-5 ea in several sizes. They are probably available at craft and office supply stores too. They come with an adhesive backing so all you do is peel and stick them on.

edlund33	Posted - May 18 2019 : 10:33:57 AM Yesterday I received this adorable mail art plaque from Angela. It's hard to see it in the photo but the clouds, raindrops, flowers and leaves have glitter shimmering on them so it really looks like rain drops! I love it...and so does our family caregiver's three year old daughter! I will be hanging this in her little "play corner" where we can both enjoy it. The paper the plaque came wrapped is pretty too. And the card.....Angela, Woodstock is my favorite Peanuts character! He is so cute when he sits there and tweets! Thank you!

Dirtduchess	Posted - May 16 2019 : 08:01:23 AM Marilyn, I received your most beautiful May Mail Art yesterday. I love it! I'm going to make good use of all those tucks. Started with the tea this morning. Question. If you can give away your secrets. What and where did you get The dew drops on your flowers? Where did you get the attached standup for the back of the card. I've never seen one of those. Thanks again. Isn't Mail Art fun?

Dirtduchess	Posted - May 15 2019 : 6:56:45 PM Thank you Diana. Hugs Patsy Farmgirl 4678 Leave room in your garden for the fairies to dance.
suny58	Posted - May 15 2019 : 07:27:38 AM Wow, that's so beautiful Patsy!! Farmgirl #7103 FGOTM January 2018 Dianna "Blessed are they that see beautiful things in humble places, where other people see nothing." Pissarro
Dirtduchess	Posted - May 15 2019 : 06:04:35 AM Vickie, I am so glad you liked my mail art picture. I almost kept it. It was such a joy to make. I must confess I have been cleaning out my craft room of years of unused stuff. Instead of trashing a lot of it I passed it onto you. Glad you liked it. Hugs, Patsy Farmgirl 4678 Leave room in your garden for the fairies to dance.
Krissel	Posted - May 14 2019 : 7:24:47 PM Patsy, Dirtduchess,you are the best! I feel almost intimidated after getting your beautiful mail art peace but all the sweet stuff was so fun too! I hope I can send something even close to the quality and beauty to my parnter! The pictures do it all no justice. Loving this! Must be busy now! Thank you for your thoughtful and beautiful art and stuff! Farmgirl#7588 Laughter makes the heart strong!
suny58	Posted - May 13 2019 : 1:55:34 PM Hi Angela!!! Received the sweetest thank you card today! I'm so happy you like your mail art!! I have to say its been my favorite so far of all my mail art creations! Popping a note back to you! I will post a picture since I took one for my other art group ok? So happy you liked it!!! Summer Blessings!! Farmgirl #7103 FGOTM January 2018 Dianna "Blessed are they that see beautiful things in humble places, where other people see nothing." Pissarro
