Farmgirls you ROCK! Your Mail-Art is great!
My hubby told me that he would help me with Photo-Bucket last night
and all that happened is I ended up with a headache as he knew as
little about it as I did. So, got to get my son over here...so I can
figure it out. I have all these great photos I want to post from my
Mail-Art to Swaps. Frustrating!
Blessings,

I just received the most beautiful mail art from Lisa in Kentucky. The card is shaped like a vintage half apron (complete with pocket with my initials with a piece of lace tucked inside) with real fabric ties. Inside are wishes from Lisa along with farmgirl words of inspiration written in her lovely handwriting. Thank you, Lisa! I am so inspired by all the mail art I receive and see on this forum. And Lisa, how did you know to decorate the envelope with stickers by one of my favorite farmgirl artists--Susan Branch! Dianne

Cindy in MI and CJ (our coordinator), I am almost sure I mailed my July mail art to Cindy in Maryland! CJ, you sent the correct address, but I wrote MD instead of MI (the zip is correct). Cindy, did you receive it yet? If it comes back to me, I'll mail it again and this time I'll put my glasses on...sorry! Dianne

Dianne - I did receive my art in the mail - I just haven't had the chance to post and still haven't got a picture of it taken yet. It's beautiful though - I love the picket fence with the flowers :-)

Kathy O from Rock, Kansas,
I received your lovely fridge mag bonnet today. Thank You so much. It's lovely. It's on my fridge right now. However, I have an older sewing machine and I was hoping that it might stick to my machine so that I could use it as a pin cushion! I'll check that in the morn.
I loved your letter. It never occured to me to include a little note about myself. That's a great idea and I loved knowing something about you. We are kindered spirits. I was a special ed teacher for 14 years before I had the kiddos. Now I'm home with them however, I did start para subbing last year. I did not choose to teacher sub because I would have had to put my kids in day care to do so, so the para subbing worked out great last year.
Thanks again.

Michelle from Baggs,
Hope your mail art arrived safely. I thought the deadline was July 5 so it went out early.

Thank you Debra for my mail art. Love it! She made me a paper apron. It is just
the cutest. What a wonderful idea, I think I will make some up for my penpals. My
apple trees are ripening so I may just have to use that appple butter recipe. And
the cinnamon got broken, but thank you for it also. Everything is just wonderful.
And a big THANKS for the Bible card verse. |
