Just received my first piece of mail art. It was one of the most exciting pieces of mail I have received lately! Thanks Molly. Now I know what you all have been talking about and have a clue what is involved. I went to bed that night designing mail art in my mind. Just printed out the new mail art list. Whew! How exciting to see how many people are on board. Once again, thank you Kay for all your hard work in keeping up with the master list. I appreciate you.

Grace is a VERY good name. My grandmother's name was Lila Grace and she went by Grace. My grandaughter's middle name is also Grace.
Now, wonder if any of that Grace has worn off on me!! Hope so.

Jane (Quilting Queen), Thank you so much for the wonderful card! Since I am new I did not expect to see one for some time. What a wonderful surprise. I was just like a little kid!

Hey Farm Girls!
Wanted to be certain that everyone saw Cindylou's message about Carol of Mary Jane's Farm. She had to have emergency surgery this week for a detached retina, and Cindylou said that she knew that Carol would appreciate receiving get well mail art. Her address is:
Mary Jane's Farm
attn: Carol
PO Box 8691
Moscow Idaho 83843
I am certain that Carol will now be "flooded" with well wishes and mail art from the "Sisterhood of the Travelling Art."

I agree that Grace is a very cool name. our youngest is Grace Elizabeth and as our last name starts with "M", her initials are GEM; and that she is in our family!
i just got my list for the mail art-can someone explain a little bit about it? are there "rules" to go by?
thanks-talk to you soon. karen

Shirley, read the member hints and tips in the welcome section. I've tried to explain things there to make it easier.

Meadowlark, so glad you liked your piece from me. I felt rather self-concsious putting something together, but then I got on a roll and couldn't stop!!! So, I guess the addage of "send something you like", is quite appropriate. XXXXX
