No Tina, I have been looking forward to it everyday and so far nothing. I am hoping that it will get here on Monday. With the weather being so bad that may be what is delaying it.

As promised, here's a pic of the mailart I received from Gail. The copper tag swings to open an invitation, the cupid is fabric....It's gorgeous!!

Catherine's arrived today in the mail - I just love it! I couldn't adjust the flash on my camera well enough to capture the beautiful blues and pinks - the picture just doesn't do this justice! Robin's Egg Blue is my favorite spring color, Catherine - and I just love the little birds!
Hi Nini,
So glad you liked it!
Yours came in the mail over the weekend and it is absolutely lovely, thank you so much! I will try to post a photo soon, but my camera is having communication issues with my PC these days :( .
Thanks again!
Blessings,
Catherine

Oh! I'm so glad you like it, Catherine! I was hoping it would get there in time for Valentine's Day! I did take a picture of it before I mailed it out to you - let me know if you'd like me to post it for you! :) Happy Valentine's Day! - Nini

My Dear Mail Artist Farmgirls,
It seems like several of you have gone the extra mile and sent a 2nd Mail Art out to your partner as it seems the first one didn't make it to them.
I want to thank you for doing that . . . it is the true FARMGIRL SPIRIT!!!!
BLESS YOU ALL!!!
THANK YOU ALL!!!
CJ

Susan from Huntville,
Received your lovely card with your photo. I love to see who is writing to me. It's great to put a name with a face. And thank you so much for the dishcloth. Use it to do my dishes! Are you kidding! It's much too pretty. My aunt makes them for me. I use hers. They are plain and utilitarian. I have a little shelf in my living room that I decorate for all of the holidays. I put yours there and now can pull it out every year for my shelf! Thank you. I will try to post a pic tomorrow.

Renee in Ohio,
Received your beautiful mail art last week and was finally able to get a photo. Oh Renee, thank you so much. LOVE the hand made paper with embedded herbs and flowers. The art work on that beatutiful paper is amazing. And then, the addition of your wonderful letter really touched me.... what a wonderful person you are.
Aren't we all so very lucky to share our art as well as our heart?

I love the variety of medium and the wealth of creativity here. MaryJane, I see a book (or a special issue, at the least) of farmgirl mail art with CJ Armstrong as the editor! Dianne in the Hudson Valley

Oooohhhh, I am so with you on that idea Dianne. Wouldn't that be a great book! We could all contribute pictures of some of our favorite pieces of Mail-Art that we have both done and received. I like it!!! Sounds like a Best Seller to me. What do you think CJ?

| just over six years ago I started this thread. I check in every once and a while and am amazed at how successful the concept has become. I've lived in severel different countries and US states in the past 6 years so I haven't joined in since the beginning. I'm on a full out search for farm land of my own right now and so have pared down my crafts, etc to all fit in my little Honda Fit that I'm driving around (currently in the NW). Once I settle, I'll be sure to check in again and join in. My best to you all! |

Well Climbergirl...this must make you proud then! It was a marvelous idea and we just love keeping it going!
We have so much fun in this group and it is so cool how easy it is to post our work on here now.

Well, I do KNOW that mail delivery is an issue. I had sent a PRIORITY mail envelope (not mail art) to another farmgirl in Illinois. Mailed it on Saturday, February 5th, from SW Colorado. She just received it this past Monday, the 14th.
And, I do know that many areas of our country have had very unusual winter weather that has slowed things down. So, again, patience is prudent.
And, I thank ALL of your for your patience!!!
"Climbergirl" . . thanks for checking in! We're all have lots of fun with this and I enjoy being the Mail Art "mom"!!!
Happy Wednesday All!

The idea of a book to showcase all of the creative Farm Girls is a great idea. Oh my.. it would be a very large book.
In the meantime I would like to see how y'all display the art you are receiving. My bulletin board is filling up really quicky and I hate to take anything down.
