Sharon -
I thought you would like that quote! I had great fun making it, and am glad that you are enjoying my latest mail art endeavor.
Have a great day...

Karen,
I received my mail art today. Let me just say, It is just beautiful!!! I want both sides to be seen at the same time. Oh and how I love pressed flowers. The cardstock and label, love the colors. Love the picture of the pretty girl, the quote on the back, love it all! I am going to have to get my camera fixed this week because I want to post all of my mail art.
Thanks again Karen. I have had a very emotional day with my sweet daughter and your mail art arrived at the perfect time!

Dear dear Carole,
I received your lovely card today, and I couldn't have had a better message (Joy) or had it come at a better time. I have been feeling poorly for a couple of weeks and kept putting off seeing the Dr. It finally got to the point where I knew I had to know. So, I spent the weekend in the hospital with chest pains, not wanting to hear bad news. The good news is that it wasn't my heart. It was a HUGE relief to know for certain. I saw the miracle of my life in three different views; my beating heart on an echocardiogram, and I wanted so much to have it keep beating for a long, long time. I have so much I want to do and experience. I have been away from all the forums for a while, and have missed you all terribly. I am getting my routines back together, trying to maintain the balance and keep the flow smooth. I have the beginnings of an ulcer, and I can manage it with a change in diet, lifestyle (keep calm!) and some medicine to heal the damage done.
So, I have a mail art nearly done for a Sister (won't tell who just yet!), and I want to say that this project is such a blessing to receive and to give. I feel blessed to be a part of this.
Again, thank you Carole! I really love it and I will post a pic in the next day or so.

CJ Glad you got it and I had fun doing it. I thought by lamenating it...that it would hold up better for the long-haul.
I am now working on this months Mail Art and hope to have it out by the weekend. I just love everyone's artwork.
Blessings,

Therese...dear farm girl look at the extra worry and grief you caused yourself by putting
off going to the Doctor. Oh dear-heart, why do we do those things to ourselves??? An ulcer
will be much easier to care for than heart problems...so, I rejoice with you that it wasn't
your heart. I will pray that you get plenty of time to "Live Out Loud" on this earth.
Blessings,

Kim...lovely job on your mail art.
Robin...I am sure you will love hanging that up!
I mentioned awhile back that I use a French Board for
my Mail Art...just a cool way to display it. If others
have wondered how to maximize space and yet enjoy looking
at those gorgeous creations everyday. That is a great way!

Karen,
Thank you soooooooooooo much for posting the mail art you sent. The photo doesn't give it justice! One of the things I think is nice about posting pictures of everyone's mail art is....
For any or all of us it helps get the creative juices flowing!
I have seen some that make me say....Wow, that is a cool idea!
Not the whole card necessarily, but the materials used. Some of us have a hard time getting ideas for different things you can use to create these little "works of Farmgirl art"!!
This is just too much fun!!!
Farmgirl Sister #61, Gail |

These are the two Breast Cancer "Special Project" Mail art pieces sent to me.
They are two-sided, which is what we need. These are approx. 5x7.
The tall one on the left is from Gail. . aka "grammygail" and the wide on on the right is from Peggy . . aka "pegsmiles"
Gail sent hers in an envelope with footprints on the outside with painted pink toenails!!
WONDERFUL!!! THANK YOU!!!

Here is my card....isn't it fabulous! Pam Cook made this...I don't know her FG name, isn't it the cutest? Love it, and it sure did bring a smile, Pam, thank you SO much! Farmgirls ROCK!
Here is the one I made for Gail. Since I was taking a pic of Pam's I saved you the trouble, Gail....hope that's ok. Isn't this the most fun?
