Hope it helps!

I got my mail art today!!!!! Thank you so much Jennifer I LOVE IT! I have to ask, what is the rose made of? It is wonderful and you put a huge amount of work into it. For being your first mail art, you have done better then I ever will! lol. Ok girls, here's my beautiful mail art! You can't tell by the picture but most of it is 3D or raised with lots of different materials and textures. It's awesome!

Hi Ginny! Ah, I am so glad you like it. The rose is made of fabric. Did you open the little lockets? I had such a great time with this :)I am already starting on next month! Hope you are doing well up in the north, I was thinking and praying for everyone hit by the storm.

I do too. I have been looking back on previous months, and you mail artists really do try hard, and make gorgeous things. I was wondering seasoned mail artists, is there always somewhat of a theme? I am trying to get ahead of myself a little, so I can look at what I'm sending for longer, because I am trying be less plain and simple.

Trish...once in awhile CJ will do a particular theme. Like once this year we did our favorite color and then got to swap with some one who
loved the same color. ~ Usually I go kind of with a Holiday theme...if there is one for the month...or just whatever pops into my head
at the time. Sometimes it is just plain and simply "Random Art"...but no matter what... it is always fun to do!

blessings,
peggy

Trish . . . and all mail artists
Typically we do not do any particular theme . . . and we won't for the rest of the year. There are some obvious ones but you do NOT have to go with those if you don't want.
Just go with whatever your little farmgirl mail artist heart wants.
Just have fun!
