Well, I have to admit, in the beginning I wasn't sure what to do or make, so I cheated a little and just made a simple card with a pack of seeds tucked inside, then I got some really creative cards like the one from BlueEggBabe and it hit me, then I felt bad for the ones I sent, so little by little I'm re-sending a more creative effort to all, It'll take awhile, but I'll feel better knowing I personally did each one more creative than the last.....I know there are no rules here, but in the spirit of the ones I have recieved so far, I have to make up for not catching on sooner, no biggie, my winter is full of projects now thanks to this wonderful forum and I couldn't be happier!!! I'm just so grateful to be apart of this all!

The comments of the last several posts on this thread (the ones of support and cheer) are really heart warming. I resently returned from a 3 week road trip and I need to get back to my mailart and catching up on the forums. There's no place like home.....
Meadowlark! Thank you for the fun creative offering you sent me I love it!! The little red tractor really touched me as it is similar to one that I drove on our farm as a kid. The whole thing is a great work of art! I think it was Clare who said she hesitated to sign up but was now enjoying a creative burst in a new direction I felt the same way!! I saw lots of Mailart design ideas on my trip and I can't wait to see where this goes next...... |

Kim, lets see, I'm not sure why you are not able to get on the site. Is anyone else having a problem getting on the site? I am in the process of fixing the names under the pictures, should be done tonight. But this is how I find bugs, when you guys tell me about them. I can get on the site just fine by clicking the link here below my post. Can some else try the link below, so I can tell if it is working for someone other that me.
Now Kim, try to go to www.sqrlbee.com and click the box that has the girl walking on the globe, it should take you to the Sisterhood site. Are you using AOL 'cause that could be the problem since it doesn't let you see the whole internet. Well we'll get you there some how.
MeadowLark, I just like your imagination, it make me smile.
Blessed Be

I tried www.sqrlbee.com and can't access that either. But everyone's blog sites I can get on to? I don't use AOL.

I do have AOL and I was able to get to it all from both links, from here and from site to site.

Patricia, either just type it in, or copy and paste from the address line of the website you want to share. Either one works.

Kim, can you copy and past the exact error response that you get? That might give us a clue. Thanks!

Hey Farm Girls!
Well I am now doing a farmgirl tap dance right down my road. Watch out goats. Just received such wonderful mail from Meadowlark and also Marie in San Fran!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Jane in La Porte; I certainly did receive your mail art, and I am sorry if I did not thank you at the time.
I think that I have needed a little boost with all of the horror that this country has been going through in the last two weeks. Bless all of those who have and are suffering so terribly.
I can tell from the posts that the Sisterhood of the Travelling Art is still "going strong." Yeah!!!! I also want to sign up for Meadowlark's sorority house! Fun, Fun, Fun
As far as sending mail art out is concerned, I have decided that my PERSONAL goal is to make as many contacts as possible within the Sisterhood rather than spending a lot of time that I don't have creating the pieces and consequently, getting just a few pieces sent out and being very frustrated. I have so little time and such a desire to connect, that this decision works for me. However, I do understand that everyone has to develop her own way. My goal is to get through the entire list in the next 2 weeks or so.
Please know that although my work is very simple (postcards with quotes that I have selected), I think of each one of you as I write your names and addresses and send them off with lots of hugs and good thoughts.
My former sister-in-law, who is quite an accomplished artist, is teaching collage classes in Dallas, and it is my hope that one day when I have more time and money that I will be able to study with her.
Collage art is one of my passions, but it will have to be a delayed passion for now.
Connie

Connie..my way of doing it isn't as complex or "fancy" as some of the others either..you will see..sent one off to ya yesterday..but I think you are right..we have to each find our own way. I will get more out sooner if I do it my silly own way. Maybe next time around I can be more creative or spend more time on each one. I am so thrilled when I get ANY mail art..no matter what type..so fun to have friends that think of me!! You gals are great!!

AArrrggggh! Clare, help! I'm just not getting this link thing. What I want to do is set up a link from an email I'm writing to someone (for example) that goes to my website, www.petreader.com so that if they want to they can just click on it and get there. I tried just typing it and it doesn't work and I don't get the cut and paste thingy (I'm computer challenged) Do I cut the "petreader.com" from the addy line? Or from where? Sorry to be so dense. If I can do anything for you in return, just holler. Thanks again. Patricia
Happy Wishes! |
