I have some thanks to give out for the mail I have received recently. I've been so busy I have gotten a chance to sit down with my ladies, I gotta catch up and read some posts. Thank you blueggbabe, I just love my card, sooo creative, colorful so fun to get something like that in the mail. Thank you Kim for a peek into your world (backyard) I now have picture of where you are. And a thank you goes to Paula for the O.K. post card and yes you did it right. And than a big thank you to Jenny (meadowlark), did you see a picture of me on my site or something 'cause you hit the nail right on the head with the curly hair and glasses and than holding a sketch book and paint brush. It amazes me how you can know me so well and we're never met face to face, it's wonderful thank you, you are quite talented.
I'm going to post the link to the sisterhood site and see if it works better so here's the test.
sisterhood.sqrlbee.com or

Ok they should work. the first one you have to copy and paste it into the URL, the www one should take you right to the site. you can also go to our directory page www.sqrlbee.com and click the sisterhood link and it will take you there. Let me know if ther are any problems.

Missy of lamargueritefarm fame! Thank you very much for the wonderful mail art today! Thank you for the nice words, and my, my how Creative you are!!! I have thought of digging out some old family photos to do something cute with, and now you've inspired me to do just that! The red button is the crowning touch, too! Beautiful and thanks again.

Our website is wonderful. I have been away from my computer and when I checked my e-mail and saw our own website, I was so excited. Thank you, thank you, for the work and effort. I wish all the women knew about us. How lucky are we ?????

I just sent my information to rusticcottage and can't wait to get the list of the Sisterhood so I can start mailing 'art'. What a terrific idea.......

I just read this quote and it reminded me of creating mailart....for those that creating is like an old hat, you'll be able to relate and for those just learning to exercise those creative muscles it'll give you the courage to "just start".
"The thing I love about the creative process is this odd paradox which is that you have to start somewhere...and then you have to "let go" of what you thought you were going to do." oriah mountain dreamer
I have some just about ready to go out and finally have 2 days off from work...couldn't wait to sit down and finish. SURPRISE! out of town guests for 2 days!...i'm trying very hard not to pout.

Clare-I'm glad you enjoyed the card! Seems like I remember reading a post that you collected old buttons so I added that just for you!!
Blessings,

I'm working on the updates for the mail art list and will send out a new list either today or tomorrow. I got behind last week because I was teaching VBS.
