| Dearest sisters. I'm terribly sorry that I haven't posted about my mail art yet. I seem to have fallen behind in "life" and just can't seem to catch back up! I did receive my mail art. It was a totally cute and came with a pot holder and broach! Thank you again! |

From what I gather, many of us sent our mail art, but the recipient hasn't acknowledged receiving it. As I said before, the object is giving, and I know things happen, but please do take the time to tell your partner thank you. We can easily track down items misdirected.
Blessings,

RoDonna, I am glad that you liked the mail art I sent. I received yours the other day and it is just lovely. You did such a nice job with the stitch work. Those stitches are soooo tiny. Thanks for the recipe as well. It looks so yummy! Have a great weekend!

Dear "Cindy Lou,"
I received my October Mail Art yesterday, and I am delighted. I only wish I could post pictures so everyone could see my Thanksgiving treasures. Here is a description: framed applique piece with colorful button letters spelling out a Thanksgiving sentiment(where did you find these letters?), a bar of lemon-coconut soap, a notepad shaped like a fall leaf, and a chocolate bar. You are so generous! Stay warm in Minnesota. I'll be dropping you a note soon.
Blessings,
Carol

I'm so glad you enjoyed the package, Carol. The button letters actually come from Walmart, the closest thing we have locally to a craft store.
Take care,
Susan

Connie,
I am so sorry it has taken me this long to get to thanking you for something which has warmed our household ever since it arrived... I just had a baby and also already have a 2 1/2 year old AND run a daycare out of my home so things have left me scrambling for even a second to take care of something for me!
Connie, I am amazed at your simple embroidery work- so neat and crisp and such a wonderful choice of color. When the package arrived my 2 year old son and I brought it to the blanket that was sprawled out on the living room floor- beside his little newborn brother resting quietly nearby. I explained to him again what the mail art was and how a nice lady named Connie made something special for our family as we unwrapped the package. He was so excited and I very reverently unfolded the special cotton towel and we admired the beautiful embroidery as I explained to him that you sewed that yourself and what thanksgiving meant. When we discovered the personal tag you'd sewn in To Amanda From Connie we BOTH TEARED UP! It was truly so special and the cute magnet picture holder is on our fridge waiting for a fall photo.
Our lives have been tried recently as my children's father continues to have problems with addiction and I have done what I can each moment to hold this family together and these special treasures truly warmed my heart and gave me a moment of peace with my child.
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts
All of the art being sent out is so beautiful and I am grateful to you Peggy for running this

Amanda...I was touched to read your note of appreciation to Connie. She does beautiful work and we are all blessed to have
her join our Mail Art Group. Isn't it special how one act of kindness can just bless our hearts for a moment in time. If every
Mail Artist could just remember that as she prepares her Art Piece each Month...that her work can be a vessel of Blessing in someone
else's Life, Home, and Heart...then I think Nobody would want to miss being that vessel.
I will pray for your husbands addiction problem and for your heart to continue to bring peace, calmness, and stability in your children's
lives and hearts.
Blessings and Hugs,
Peggy
