Just wondering where everyone goes to buy their supplies for their mailart? We don't have any good craft places around here really. We have Wal-Mart and Office Depot and that's about it :) Anyways, I like some of the vintage looking papers and such. Do you have any online resource? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Looky, looky, looky! Deb from Kansas sent this adorable frog art. The picture does not do it justice. The frog is in a sparkly pond as the sun is going down. Then the card opens up to inspirational sayings. It brightend my day to receive it. Thanks bunches Deb..jpg)
Nothing happens unless first we dream.

Mommy Swanson - Thank you so much for the beautiful mail art. I hope you had as much fun making it as I did receiving it! The tea packets were an extra special surprise which I will enjoy while thinking of all my special mail art friends...

I cut up old magazines, books, cards and places like Goodwill stores have craft corners too. I have gotten paper and embellishments at "Grandma's Attic" (not exactly a junk store) very reasonably. Fabric makes a nice background, so does old music or book pages. Looking at everyones great mailart really inspires me to try more too.

You are welcome Monica. I had fun finding just the right leaves to use to make a print. I love the fall colors - glad you liked it!

Hi Laura, thank you for letting me know you got it ok. I keep forgetting to take pictures of my work before I send it. I get all excited about it and finish it up and mail it off-lol

I send mail art faithfully each month. Could the Farmgirls who receive it just post something saying it arrived safely? Thanks, Dianne in the Hudson Valley

This is the mail art I created and sent in October. My next project is to photograph and upload all the great mail art I've received. It's so easy now! Dianne in the Hudson Valley

I am with you Dianne, it is so dishearting not to receive at least a thank you and "I got your mail art" reply here. I feel really bad too, when I go thru all this work, think my mail art is really nice-and then never hear anything, unless I come online here and ask. It does make me sad when this happens

just a note-I did receive a lovely note here for this month's mail art-and I thank you very much for that.
I sent out an extra one this month, that I am hoping has arrived by now too, as I mailed it out a week ago.
