Hello Mail Artists. I received the sweetest mail art from Becky! Thank you. Check out the beautiful ghourd/pumpkin. So clever. The pumpkin was filled with orange pumpkin chocolates that were mint flavored. We enjoyed them.

Oh Marlee, I just love the Oct. Mail Art you sent to me. The scarecrow has a home on my dining room table. Hot tea is my drink for the winter days. The festive napkins and paper plates will be used at our family Thanksgiving dinner with my homemade pumpkin pie. I already have plans for some of the patterns in the Mary Engelbrett book. And Wow! What can I say about the mini Journal book you made. Farm girls I am here to tell you it is fabulous. 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" in size. 15 pages with 4 pages that open out. 16 pockets tucked between pages. Most of the pockets have decorative tags inserted into them. I have almost finished your Mail Art. Will mail out by Wed. Hopefully. Thank you so much for my goodies. Hugs
Sorry, just can't get some pics straight. Hugs

Dear Patsy I am so happy that you love the Mail Art that I sent you. If you can believe it the mini journal is made of one sheet of paper. I saw how to make it on a web site but now cant recall which one . But it was so fun to make. Its the way you fold it that makes the pockets and of course I added my own stuff. The scarecrow I am glad you liked it. It was a fun hunt for goodies for you. And you are so welcome. I love the picture of the vase on the table so cute. Happy Fall and Thanksgiving my sweet sister. Hugs Marlee

Hi Becky, Your mail art will be going out tomorrow. I'm just finishing it up. I haven't been feeling too well this week...think I'm in recovery now. :)

Kristi...glad that you received it and liked it. I rarely do Mail Art Cards but it was fun to switch it up this time and I got to try a new technique that I had never used before called "Inchies"...those are the small inch size squares that I used on the front and one of the gals in my Hen House taught us all about them. Now, I am addicted to them. They are so much fun.
For those of you interested in "Inchies" just google it and I am sure you will find instructions and a million and one ideas.
Hope everyone is getting your Mail Art Out... TODAY IS YOUR MAIL OUT DAY...OCT 15TH!!!!
Blessings and Hugs, PeggyAnn / Mail Art Hostess

Oops, Becky- you sent to me- I send to someone else...sorry for my confusion. I may have too many swaps going! Need to make a better list. My art is out and should be arriving to my "secret" partner soon. :0) Happy Fall everyone! The mail art I'm seeing in the pics are wonderful!

Peggy, I'm glad you like it. It seems I shouldn't doubt my "art" ability anymore. Everyone seems to like my stuff so far. I'm glad I joined this mail art swap. It's turned out to be a lot of fun!!!
