Yarny Jen I am so glad you liked it. It was fun to make. It is nice to meet you also. The information book was done in another swap and we ended up having some ladies drop out so I thought I would use the up and allow my partners get to know me.

Staci...loved that Mail-Art. Way Cute!!! Seems like lots of us did the unusual this month.
I am going to post a picture of what I did. My Mail Art Farmgirl should have gotten this a long time ago and I waited to hear
from her but NEVER did so, here is what I made for Vickie Harrell from Big Fork, Montana. Fallish Altered Spoon!
Thought I had a better shot of this, but maybe not. I will post more later if I can find it.
blessings,
Peggy

Christine - Thank you so much for the darling mail art with a circus theme. It brings back many pleasant memories of trips to the circus when I was a child. I also enjoyed your letter - what a wonderful personal touch! Thanks again. Sandi |

| Karen - I have visited your website and LOVE your chicken coop. Our garden has kept us busy - we finally are getting some ripe tomatoes despite our crazy weather this year. Hope you are enjoying your fresh eggs from your spoiled hens. Sandi |

Thanks to my mailart partner! I got my mailart, but there was only the inital of C., so I wasn't sure of your first name, but here is the pic. My dad lived in Aurora for a number of years, so I've been there!

It's hard to tell from the pic, but there are cute little falling leaves behind the white paper. Very creative!
Also, I'm glad you got your Mailart Pennie. Here is a picture of it, before I sent it. I was hoping you were not violently opposed to pink!

I'm sorry to say I am late this month!! Maddie your mail art is going out tomorrow. I've been sick and am still taking care of that DH of mine in bed so please try and forgive me for not being on time. :) It's done and will go out tomorrow.

Kendra H in Colorado: I received my mail art today. Thank you so much - I love the card and bookmark you made for me! The goodies are appreciated, too. The colors are fabulous and the environmental theme is perfect for me because I work outdoors in nature every day. I enjoy all the seasons for different reasons but I'd have to say Spring is my favorite time of the year. I especially love to see the sunshine and longer days after months of wintry grey skies and rain here in the Seattle area. Autumn would be my second favorite though - I love falling leaves and Halloween.
 
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

I really would not mind being paired with a farmgirl that does not do Halloween. I love Halloween, but I have lots of Halloween projects to make for my friends and family. Also, I hoard orange paper, so this time of year can be a little hard for me.
