Oh Peggy, you made me laugh out loud. I have never met an elephant I didn't like but I do not have any of their art. When I was working (pro picture framer) I framed a few Elephant painted pics. Usually purchased at aution for benefit of the zoo. Anyway......all art is art to someone!
My best to all,
Mel

I received my ART from Catherine/Urban Chickie #1370 yesterday. It's an adorable little red checked apron card - so cute! Loved the vellum envelope that it came in also! :-) I'll see if I can get a picture posted here soon.

Cindy...can you tell me what you do to post pictures on the Forums?
Do you just copy and paste or what?

Peggy,
In order to post pictures you have to go through Photobucket. So, first you need to set up an account through Photobucket and it is free. Then you can post through it.
Look in TECH SUPPORT here on the forum (at the bottom) for Gabe's instructions on how to do it all.
Once you figure it out . . and it's not hard, then you'll be able to do it a lot.
Let me know if you have further questions and I'll try to help!

I think it turned out kind of cute.

I received your beautiful card full of lovely sentiments. The angel is beautiful - and she IS a positive messenger with wings. Thank you for all your hard work and kind thoughts that your art conveys!
My first mail art - which makes it even more special.
Sandi
PS I mailed your mailart on Wednesday - hope it arrives shortly. |

Sandi...Wow, you got that fast. I will probably receive yours tomorrow. Hope everything came through the mail ok and that you didn't have to glue things back on. LOL Probably next time I will use a bubble wrap mailer. Hope that little Angel reminds you that all your Farm Sisters are truly Angels bearing friendship and encouragements!

Peggy-
I am so glad that it arrived and that you are enjoying it. I have your art on display near my desk for instant warm fuzzies. She came through the mail in fine shape. This is such a wonderful activity and I can't wait until the next swap. Thank you for swapping with me!

Sandi...I decided that I am going to make a Special French Board or something to display yours and all my
future Mail-Art pieces. They are just too great to stick away in a drawer...they must be displayed and enjoyed! Plus next time I go grocery shopping, I plan to purchase the ingredients for that Granola. Sounds yummy! Thanks again and I was glad to hear that nothing fell-off the one I sent out. LOL
Blessings,

Peggy -
Peggy-
In the interest of full disclosure I inadvertently popped the heart off when I took it out of the envelope! (Note to self: Contain excitement when receiving mailart, and remove same from envelope carefully.) I glued it back on and it is as good as new, however. :)
I have been thinking of a way to display these creative masterpieces also. I'll have to do some research on French boards - sounds interesting.

Thanks for the reminder, CJ! I was going to upload mine yesterday but photobucket wasn't cooperating very well. But here goes now....
Isn't it beautiful!! Mel did a great job! Thanks again Mel! You really made my day! {{HUGS}}
