Hello to Ashley, Thank you for the lovely rose that you made and shipped to me! I hope you don't mind that I shared it, but I showed it to my grandmother today and she loved it so much she wanted to keep it. She is having a hard time right now, having to move floors in her nursing home to the floor with more help (and a roommate which makes her nervous!) and that rose cheered her right up. She worked in clay for over 50 years. Thanks so much, Rachael
Happy Trails!

Hi Joan! I'm sooooo very sorry I wasn't able to respond to your earlier posts! My computer's been on the fritz and I just got it up and running somewhat smoothly again! I did receive your very Springy card and nail file... thank you so much! It's always such fun to get our mail art and I loved your creation! I also want to apologize for you getting yours out a bit late. I had to drive 30 miles to a friends place in town to get online for your address! (I hadn't received your card yet to use your return address) Here's my lesson learned - I need to print out my swap buddy's info as soon as I receive it to avoid such a dilemma next time! Hope you are enjoying some warmth & sunshine in New York as we finally are in Oregon! Danielle

Hi Doris,
Sorry this is late. Thank you so very much for the adorable little "idea notebook". Its absolutely perfect and I love the quote! Can't wait to start jotting down my ideas- I love writing so I will probably use it to write down ideas for stories. Or prayer requests for others :-) I hope that you are having a happy spring! Did you get my mail art yet?
Thanks, Breanna

Hello Lois, Your mail went out very late today. We have 10+" of snow and it's still snowing so the mail was very very late.
It did go out so I hope you get it quickly.
Here are the pics of your art you sent me. I can't wait to plant the seeds. You did a wonderful job for your 1st time.
HUugs, Melissa 2281

Hi Terri aka: artfulsister! Talent then some!!! Your lovely card & bookmark are sooo delicate! There's the softest dusty pink velvet ribbon on the card. You couldn't have picked a prettier picture. I've got my eyes on a spot for your seeds. I love flowers, can never have too many I wish everyone could see your charm up close! One class & you can make this, WOW. I'll treasure it! Thanks Judy
Still learning about the pic, cross my fingers!!!
country wishes! |

Teresa in Medford - I'm so sorry about the delay in posting here! I did get your mail art late last week, and I just have to say WOW. Here's a picture so everyone can see your cards:
Those cards are incredible! Do you sell them? If not, you most definitely should - they are gorgeous.
I sent your mail art out last Wednesday but it was returned Thursday for more postage (it was considered a parcel, not a flat) and I re-mailed it on Friday. I'm sorry about the delay, and I hope it reaches you soon.
Thanks you again for the mail art - you're so talented!

Hi all, I think it is about time for me to organize the next exchange. If anyone would like to NOT participate again, for just a short time or longer, please let me know asap so I don't include you in the exchange. It sounds like most of you sent and got your mail art, which is just great. I do not have the time to track down the folks who didn't send it this month (my son is graduating from highschool this month and moving across country and we just lost our dog of 13 years, so I am a bit of a mess this week!) but if you feel like someone isn't participating, please let me know and I will try to make sure they are really interested in doing mail art next month.
Thanks everyone for participating and especially to those of you able to post the pics! It is so great to see what people are sending each other.
Take care and please expect and email from me by the end of the week. Rachael
Happy Trails!
