Hi Debbie!
I used to live in Anchorage when I was a kid; now am in Arkansas. You would not believe (or maybe you would) how much mail and packages we get addressed to someone in Alaska (I also lived in AZ, so I know my "A" states - please, world, learn your mailing codes.  ) |

That's funny Janice, I never thought of that happening! My grandmother was born in Dover Arkansas.

Debbie, I too learned to keep receipts and look at them before leaving the PO. Sent a package to my daughter, an hour and a half away, that took two weeks to get there. My fault-wrong zip, but you would think it would have been returned to me sooner. Needless to say the chocolate melted.
Fun times ahead,
Blessings,
Carol

Thank you to Jami from TX!
Your "Farm Chicks Rule the Roost" piece was perfect for me! My new batch of peeps arrived Thursday the 24th and your art came on Saturday. I love it - sweet, cheerful and really cute! Thank you so much!

Hello Mail Artists! It's the last day of April, so your Mail Art should be on its way to your partner now. If you do not receive Mail Art from a partner by May 15, please let me know :) I hope you're being inspired by spring, wherever you reside.

PeggyAnn,
ooooooh ! PeggyAnn, you sneaky lil wabbit, you ! Tell me it's to be a surprise who my partner is and was you all along :-)
OMGoodness Goodness Goodness............I LOVE LOVE LOVE it !!!!!!
I am so glad ya did something different :-)
I will have to post a pic soon so ALL THE GIRLS can see your Masterpiece. I Love the denim and pearls hanging wall pocket. Pearls just so happen to be my favorite besides Sapphires ! and I am definitely a denim gal ! I also loved the notepads and pen inside the pocket and the idea to hang flowers later. The butterfly notecard was beautiful as well. I have my very first grandbaby and I do butterflies for her :-) I really cannot say thank you enough. I have already showed it off to five people today !!!!!! I so love it.
God Bless and Texas size Farmgirl Hugs

Oh Margo Thank you so much my sweet sister for my beautiful MailArt. It is a vintage lady dressed in blue with a feather hat, and the rest of it is blue and white ribbons. I just love it. I've seen anything like this. Wonderful. And a bag of Chocolate covered Pomagranetes. Yum! Them are so good. Margo, Thank you for making
a wonderful treasure. Giving you a BIG HUG!!!!!!!
Hugs Marlee

Heather...I just leave about 1/4 raw edge to 1/2 around the pockets and then hot glue
two pockets back to back. Some gals sew them on their machines but I don't sew. Then
even though I use decorative pockets...I still embellish them more. They are a great
way to up-cycle and make a cute gift...rather quickly. I have also thought that you
could use a Large piece of Heavy Denim for the back (approx. 11x16) and then hot glue
or sew lots of pockets (6-8) on the plain piece of Denim and have a handy but classy
Hanger for your bathroom to hold, hair brushes, make up brushes, curling iron, etc etc.
Try making just a Wall Pocket to start with and you will be hooked.
Hugs,
Peggy

Thank you for all the goodies, Jan!!! The picture is beautiful, I LOVE coneflowers and have been known to wear a bandana here and there. :) Like you, my life is also filled with animals as I worked at a vet for 10 years. In about 10 days it will be two years that I have been able to be a stay at home mom and live my dream of making jewelry, taking care of my animals and gardening. Happy spring to you too and thanks again!!! :) |

I received an adorable spring showers wall hanging from RoDonna today! It's hard to see in the pic but it says flower showers under the raindrops on either side of the umbrella handle. I just love it!and the raspberry tea hit the spot this afternoon.... it is cool and rainy today so it was a warm and welcome treat when I came home from a walk and found your package in the mailbox.

Hi Marlee!!
Just wanted to thank you for the outstanding mail - just loved it!!
Some of the items included a beautiful bottle for olive oil, wonderful smelling soap, pen for journaling my trips :-) , fun bunny pen, scrapbook embellishments(Yes! I scrapbook!), post card and more... Took pic on my phone but can't post it, sorry.
I am so late in posting. Been out of town on a camp out . Made a quilt in two weeks for Pops 90th birthday. Prepared for a month long camp out (we're half time RVers and this is an active year for us. So glad my cousin house and cat sits while DH and I are gadding about)
However this has made mail art a challenge.
We've been aggressively trying to avoid the western storm that blew through this weekend. Sorry for not posting sooner!

I am so glad you like it my sister. But Oh my goodness you are one busy gal. Wow you made a quilt in two weeks. Awesome. I wish I knew how I want to learn. The campout sounds so good. But so glad you got the MailART. Have fun!!!!!Hugs Marlee
