Looks like I am first for show & tell ;-) I received from Vanessa aka Audra Rose one of the most creative & unique boxes. She made it using paint sample cards & it has Winter scenes all over it, she also made me a embroidered magnet for the frig or to pick up loose sewing pins. I have another use in mind :-) She also sent along some of her favorite tea & honey candy, which came in handy when I awoke 2am with a tickle in my throat, sure did remedy it ;-) OH! I almost forgot she sent all these goodies in a box she made using a Coca Cola carton. Thank You Vanessa, I hope you received my email ? Like I said I love boxes & have been known to buy one just for the graphics. Yours are just GREAT!!!!.JPG)

Dear Heather
Thank you for the artwork you sent. Since we moved to Florida I really miss the seasons. Your snowman and the glittery landscape remind me of northern winter. I can't believe you have time to do art with your farm duties. Your cows are so cute! The tea especially comes in handy because I'm almost out of tea. Remember, all good art comes from the heart.

Fille De ferme, I'm glad you like the box. I have a weakness for little boxes too. I love going to Home Depot or Walmart and pulling paint samples. In fact, when we dropped by there today I grabbed a bunch.

Vanessa,
I'm so glad you liked the art. I usually do scrapbooking type of stuff and wanted to try something a little different. One of the best parts of winter is having a little more time to spend in the house :) It's snowing here right now. I would miss it if I moved to Florida.

Pennie,
Thank you so much for the beautiful snow you sent my way. I love it. The snowflake is already hanging at my desk. The envelope was so pretty too! Thank you for brightening my day!

Marlee,
I just opened your package and was absolutely delighted with the journal. I know I will have as much fun filling it as you must have had making it. I will try a picture but I have only ever been successful in posting one so ........ it is an 8 page journal of fancy papers, and adornments - the pages are laddered - the smallest in front and the largest in back. Each page has wonderful pockets, paper pads, and hidden surprises. I am sure I will find find more curiosities when I use the journal. It is wonderful.
Of course the package of Sausalito cookies will be enjoyed greatly and the day calendar is a very nice size for my desk.
Thank-you so much!

Dear Becky you are so welcome for the journal. I really wanted to make a very different one and make it foofooey. So I am glad you like it. I tried to put as many pockets as I could. The cookies are a must for farm sisters. I liked the calendar so I got me one also. I had such as fun time making your Mail Art this month. Enjoy it my sweet Farm sister!
Hugs Marlee

Dear Jenn,
Thank you for the beautiful and meaningful mail art card. Because I haven't mastered the uploading pictures thing, I will describe your handiwork.
A card with five smaller cards attached. The center card says "be you." Above this to left the card says, "be silly," and above right says "smile." Below this to the left the card says "stay curious" and bottom right "be kind." The card opens from bottom to top and the top half has a place for me to write my top five goals under a lovely gold bow. The bottom half of the card has a February calendar and a reminder to Dream Big.
Jenn, your sweet reminder to carry on my New Year's Goals and Resolutions is much appreciated. I chose one word for this year "determination." Your card is such an encouragement as I am determined to accomplish so many things. Here's a big Mary Jane Sisterhood thank you!
Blessings,
Carol

Heather, you are so welcome!! Im from Ohio, born and raised there, but now I live in the south where we don't get much snow! So, my Christmas tree is always decorated with snowflakes that I crochet and blue lights, reminds me of when I was little, that's how my mom would decorate the tree, so I carry on the tradition :) But even in the summer time, I find myself making these little flakes! I love them!! Im happy you did too!!

Patsy...got your Cows in the Snow Mail Art today and just thought it was Perfectly Farm Girlie!!
Just loved it but I would have never thought of it myself. If you took a picture of it...please post
for me as I have a malware virus on my computer and it is being worked on. I always post pictures
So this is hard for me not to be able to.
Also....Really Loved the Special tuck too!!! Thank you so much!!! I needed a fun pkg to cheer me up
with being in the middle of a kitchen renovation. (*:

Peggy,
So glad you liked my Jan Mail Art. It doesn't snow much here. This snow was about a month ago.
It was 30* at 8:00 am and heading to 23* before noon. Winds are really howling.
I don't usually go with Alvin to feed in the gator on days like this. But today he is sick with allergies from Mountain Cedar coming down to Texas. Grandson's car broke down so he has borrowed our '64 Chevy farm truck. Too cold for Gator. What's a farm girl to do? Well, we loaded the trunk of our 2012 Honda Accord with feed. Alvin opened gates and off through the pasture we went to the bottom feed lot. Mama's cows so glad to see him. Will probably have to do this again tomorrow.

Love looking at all this creativity.
