Hello Farmgirls!
It is that time of the month again to exchange farmgirl names and send someone something wonderfully creative in the mail!
Our theme for October is Farm Animals and Pets. Most of us farmgirls have an animal or two that we love and we thought October would be a great time to celebrate our furry (or maybe not so furry) friends! Of course the theme is optional so you please make whatever inspires you! (Please be aware that some folks do not celebrate Halloween, so if you are planning to use that theme check your email and I will indicate if your partner prefers not to get Halloween mail art, thanks!)
Please send your mail art out by October 15th, be sure to post on the October forum when you receive yours, and please post pictures if at all possible! That part is important to inspire other artists!
Lastly, I have been organizing this for almost a year and it has been a ball! I have really enjoyed getting to know many of you and I appreciate that I have been able to be share in some sad, some happy, and some challenging times in your lives. It has been a wonderful gift to me so thank you for sharing. That being said, I think it is time to find a new volunteer for 2013! Is there a farmgirl out there willing to host this exchange for the 2013? It isn't a hard job but it does require consistency once a month, so if you are interested please email me at mommybelly@yahoo.com. I will send you my organizing system or your can make your own, but rest assured I will walk you through it. It isn't too much work and it is a lot of fun!
That is it for this round! Have a wonderful October, everyone!!!!

Alissa, I didn't follow the theme but I did make you something already and it will be on its way when someone takes the postage bag to the post office. I hope you like it!
Linda, this is the mail art exchange and we get new partners every month. I am the coordinator so if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at mommybelly@yahoo.com.

Hi Rachael, I was just thinking about this month mail art. I wasn't going to go with the theme either. I sure I will like it. I hope to have mine in the mail sometime next week.

Madeleine, I received your October Mail Art today. Wow! You are so talented. I love the Sheepy Hollow picture and the frame. That was clever. Thanks for the tea in your pretty card and the tag. You should be receiving mine any day. Have a great weekend. Thanks so much. I love swapping. MJF hugs, Patsy |

I received Becky's Mail Art on Thursday, I believe. I loved the fabric puppies on the card and the gourd autumn garland! Thank you, Becky! I hope you enjoy the mail art I sent. Take care.

Judy, WOW !!! Thank you so much for your mail art I received today. The darling hand stitched kitten tea towel is adorable and I love the crocheted pot holders and round fabric flowers I will finish with the buttons you enclosed. Can't wait to taste the Canadian Maple lollipop! Your package was so fun to open. Many, many thanks for all you sent.
