I got the loveliest mail art from Dianne (Textile Lover) and it is so beautiful! Deckled papers are stitched down with a vellum banner and garden themed buttons...so pretty! Sorry I can't upload a photo to share with you all...today is a slllooooowww internet day here in North Idaho...
Thankyou so much Dianne, you are so talented. I have it on a shelf in the livingroom and it makes me smile every time I see it.

Nini~ I got my beee-u-tee-ful mail art the other day! I love it!
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to come on and let you know.
I wanted to take a pic so I could show it off. 
Isn't it great?! I love the red with the bunnies.
I'm so used to finding Easter in pastels so I love that you put them in red and spongey efffect is so cool. Gives it that 3-d art look. Your beautiful artwork will make a lovely addition to my Easter decorations for years to come and will remind me of you every Easter.
Thank you, Nini!
Hugs~ Melanie

Received your wonderful mail art and am THRILLED!! The photos probably won't show the sweet dried pansies and babies breath, but they are adorable. The picture of the new baby goats is soo cute. I raised goats not too long ago and really loved them. There is even a poem about April, "the month so dear". Thank you for every thing. It made my day. I will hang this in my craft room, so I can see it all the time. Oh drat! I have been fiddling and futzing and cannot get the photos to paste. So sorry Susan. If you have them can you post them? If not I will try again. Oh my goodness...I am so happy, they just appeared!

Oh...it's beautiful, but not from me! Maybe your partner was one of the other Susan's..??? Glad you received your mail art though and it really is pretty!

Such inspiring and beautiful mail art! This group has inspired me to make all of my own cards. My aunt is battling cancer and just had a stroke on top of the cancer, so I have been sending her a card every week. I am now sending her homemade cards. Each card takes me at least an hour to make, but it is fun and comes from the heart. I crocheted a bunch of flowers and made flower hearts last night and used modge podge to decorate the card with pretty paper. I have to buy a glue gun tonight to glue the flower on. Thanks for all of the inspiration ladies!
On another note, i have not received my mail art yet. I wonder who has my name?
Have a beautiful weekend ladies!

Awesome!!! Wonderful!!!!
It's almost time for May Mail Art . . . if you haven't started it yet, now would be a good time. That way you'll be better able to send as soon as you get your Name/Address info, which will be VERY SOON!!!
My Motto is: If you can't be on time, then be early!!!!!
Thanks!

Debi;
Your mail art arrived yesterday.It is lovely. All the little touches made it feel so personal to me. Even the fuzzy pieces around the loom to make it look like its ready to spin some yarn. I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how.
Thank you so much

From Debbie in Alaska came this WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL "Purple" Mail art!!
The inside has the "When I Am An Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" writing which is just plain funny and fun!!! Paper flowers, little heart buttons, ribbon, and jeweled flower centers.
.JPG)
The front has real lace, purple fabric pansies, little purple yo-yos and some stencling on the back. It was all "wrapped" in handmade paper with purple ribbon and fiber.
.JPG)
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
THANK YOU DEBBIE!
