As you can see she decorated this spoon with a daisy, blueberries, buttons and a ribbon. So cute! Thank you Marilyn for the "altered" spoon and your sweet note.

OK - here it is! The wonders of posting photos never cease to amaze me - but it finally got here, so you can see how very nice this is.

To Karen, Kim and Marilyn Truly beautiful. Each one a keepsake for sure. I have seen Kim's art and even received a piece in the mailart swap last fall-love her work and go often for a peak at her blog to see what is new. Karen was a partner of mine also in the past swap-never disappointed. Marilyn, I haven't swapped with yet but maybe in the future. Such fun.

Oh, I just love everyone's mail art and how wonderful that most everyone post when their mail art was received. I am hoping that Lisa's arrived in June safe and sound as I have not heard from her. Good that we will have a break in August so I can rethink the Mail Art Swap and whether I will continue. I will continue to be a Mail Art Angel and for now I think that will be all I do. I do love doing the Mail Art and receiving it but it makes me sad when there is not acknowledgement that it was even received. Thank you CJ for being just the greatest hostess, I luv you. Farmgirl Hugs, Debbie

Thank you to my mail-art partner. I received your lovely art with the sunflowers last Monday the day of our big storm & then didn't get a chance to thank you. With all that has gone around here this last week my pretty art has been misplaced so I can't even thank you by name. I sure hope to find it. More storms & power outages are expected here today. It's been a mess. Thank you again!!

Hi farmgirl sisters, I hope everyone has a way to stay cool-it's extreme heat here in the ozarks of Missouri too. I just wanted to drop a line to say goodbye for now to this swap. I wasn't going to, but I had received an email from a concerned farmgirl sister-so I thank her for thinking of me. As much as I just really really love making mailart, I really do, but I also look forward to receiving a thank you, or yes I got your card and little gifts, and I also wait patiently at my mailbox looking for mailart too-which sometimes comes and sometimes does not. I know things come up, farmgirls get sick, have emergencies etc, but I was taught (I guess I am dating myself here) to always keep appointments or at least notify why not, and to always say thank you--sorry to say at least for me any ways this is not happening-more often than not-so sorry to say-and yes it makes me feel really bad-and sad, so to stay happy in my world right now I am dropping out of participating-for those reasons-either no card or no thank yous CeeJay is an awesome group leader, and I know she must spend hours and hours on this swap-I wish I could suggest a way to make this swap better for all of us-but ya know every farmgirl on this swap needs to step up and fullfill their commitments-not let the mailart angels do their work for them, and geez just say thank you for the beautiful thoughtful card or card and gifts you have just received.
