Your welcome Madeline.
Did you figure out what the Scrabble tiles spelled? A little puzzle for you.
:) Glad you liked it. Now you have a box for your treasures.
I'm counting my blessings today instead of my calories.

Patsy, Patsy, Patsy, I love my MailArt you sent me. It is so totally me. My sweet sister made me a table scarf and then used different material to make leaves . The colors were fall colors . She also sent me a statue of an Indian couple, it has "A season of blessings on it and it has pumpkins, corn a cornucopia on it. I just love it. My great-great grandmother on my daddy's side was full Cherokee Indian . So Patsy Thank , thank you, thank. It is going on my table. Which fall is my favorite time of the year.
Thank you my sweet sister Patsy!
Hugs Marlee

Hi Mary Jo,
I hope you have received your mail art. I tracked it through the PO and it looks like it arrived last Thursday. Hope it arrived safe and sound.

Becky, thank you for the very nice note, I'm glad you liked the pumpkins!
The whole in the card was a big surprise when I opened them, but it worked out great.
I hope you post in the gardening section about your straw bale gardening, it's always so
interesting what works and what doesn't. Have a great day!

Mail Artists...don't forget to come on here and Thank Your Mail Artist when you receive your Art.
It only takes a moment...but goes a long way ...of extending courtesy to someone who blessed YOU!
This continues to be a problem every month. Life does happen...but let your Mail Artist know how much
you enjoyed and appreciated her Work.
blessings,

Another take on mail art.
First, a huge thank you to Peggy Ann for organizing this event. She is so helpful and gracious. The first time I did mail art, I made a new friend and got my first pen pal (shout out to Sarah Hall). The next two times I did mail art, I sent but did not receive. I must admit I was disappointed, but this morning God revealed the lesson. I am to give without expecting a return, and I am to pray for the ladies assigned to me for mail art. We never know what has happened in the life of our Farmgirl Sister between signing up for a swap and actually putting that item in the mail: a death, an illness, a fire, the realization that too much has already happened. So I thank Peggy and I thank God for giving me a new perspective.
Blessings,
Carol

Carol...I love your new perspective (because I know it is a blessing from God for His purpose and your benefit)...
BUT...let me just say that it is NOT ACCEPTABLE for one Mail Artist to work so hard on her Mail Art and
then NOT get Mail Art from others. I have tried to purge Mail Art every so often...to get ONLY FARMGIRLS
WHO WANT TO DO BE 100% COMMITTED TO MAIL ART...but as you can see we still find it isn't 100% PERFECT.
I am so sorry Carol!! It's Not Right...I hope you know that this is something I continue to work on and will until we get it where it should be.
I had to decide within my own heart... a couple years ago...that no matter how many Swaps I did...I would not let a non-participant ruin my FUN. I give because I truly enjoy giving...but it is discouraging when you feel like all your efforts are very one-sided.
But like you Carol...I have the love of God flowing through my veins
and I refuse to give up, stay discouraged, or let others ruin my
Farmgirl FUN! There is a Christian song playing on the radio right this VERY moment...and it's called...'DON'T GIVE UP!' And some of
us need to NOT GIVE UP on the JOY of giving.
 REMEBER MAIL ARTISTS...DON'T SIGN-UP UNLESS YOU PLAN TO REMAIN COMMITTED TO HAVING FUN AND DOING YOUR MAIL ART PROJECT EACH MONTH!
Blessings,
PeggyAnn/Mail Art Hostess

I feel good about giving too. I worry that those who do not acknowledge receipt or are late sending it out have something serious in their lives. I just need an update on it. I try to be on time and when I am not, I let my partners know. I think that should be a good rule to mail art by.

Carol,
I am so sorry your partners didn't follow through! That just stinks, but you are such an amazing and kind hearted person that I am not surprised that you see the good in all of it. I have been so happy to be your pen pal it is definately one of the best mail art perks so far!

Sounds like this month is crazy for a lot of folks. I've been busy working on other swaps and Christmas gifts, but now that I think about it I don't recall getting my mail art either.

Thank you Betty for all the lovely items in the package. I love everything especially the clips. Here are pictures:
Now that I have all these lovely, stiff papers, I guess I will have to start making cards. Another hobby. <sigh>
