 Hi Farmgirl...If you have not signed up for the Month of January 2013 Mail Art kick-off...All is NOT lost. You can sign-up anytime this year...and will thus be included in the next months round of Mail Art.
 1. Mail Art is just putting your creative juices down on paper. You can make a Mail Art Greeting Card or Mail Art 5X7 Piece of Art Work. I hate to set limits on what Mail Art Can Be or Must Be...because the
idea is to "Gift" your partner with a piece of your creativity. The one thing I do ask...is that whether or not you "Up-cycle" and draw
from or re-use pits and scraps of cards, magazines, nature, fabric etc. That you NEVER SEND A STORE BOUGHT CARD OR USE ANOTHER FARMGIRLS
PREVIOUS MAIL ART TO YOU. You Must Make Your Own Mail Art Piece.
2. You will receive a new partner each month. You may or may not have the same partner. I plan to get a little creative on my end too. Just for FUN and Just Becasue I Can. LOL 
3. Let your Mail Art be a surprise gift to your partner...do not tell her that you sent her mail art out to her or post pictures of what you made before she even receives it in her mail box.
4. If you want to put in little extra-tucks with your mail art that is your personal choice but is NOT a required part of your monthly mail art.
5. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH...IF YOU ARE NOT A TOTALLY COMMITTED PERSON TO SWAPS AND BARTERS...DO NOT SIGN-UP FOR MAIL ART. WE WANT TOTAL COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION TO YOUR PARTNER!!! THIS IS A MUST.
6.  If you want to sign up for Mail Art and Join The Fun..and believe me it is both fun and addicting. Then sign-up on this page and then also let me know by emailing me your full name/farmgirl name and full home mailing address or post office box.
7. Each month you will get a chance to post a picture of what you received from your Mail Artist Partner on a seperate Thread. I will
name it according to the month we are in.
8.  You will be emailed your partners name and address at the beginning of each month and you will need to have your piece mailed
out no later than the 15th of the month.
9. Communication with your Partner is Key if you do not meet your dead-line. Life happens but saying nothing only makes for hurt feelings. So, IF you for some un-forseen reason must mail-out on the
16th or 17th of the Month...then email your partner and let her know
WHAT has happened.
10.  IF you do not hear from YOUR Mail Artist by the end of each month, please contact me personally via email. That person will be dropped from the program and you will receive something from a Mail Art Angel. 
OK... IT'S SIMPLE AS ART...LET THE FUN BEGIN
 
Blessings...your M.A. Hostess,
