                      | It's time to sign up for October Mail Art :) 
 If this is your first time signing up for Mail Art, please visit the topic Farmgirl Mail Art under the Farmgirl Swap heading to read our guidelines. Then leave a comment on this post if you want to participate and I will contact you.
 
 FOR OCTOBER, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to participate. Sign-up is available through October 15th. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster.
 
 Themes for October will be Halloween and/or Books (it's National Book Month) and/or Open.(Open just means you create anything you wish, not following the themes). And let's make orange this month's color.
 
 I will send an email with your partner to you on October 16th. Please send your Mail Art before October 31.
 
 A couple of things to keep in mind:
 1. Traditionally, Mail Art has been "secret"; part of the fun is receiving a surprise package from a surprise partner. I would encourage you not to tell your partner who you are until a reasonable amount of time has passed for them to receive your art.
 2. Please be sure to include enough postage for your Mail Art to reach its destination :)
 
 If you have any questions or concerns, please send me an email. I'm always delighted to help.
 
 Happy Swapping!

                      | I got mail!  Thank you Diana (Gibson Girl).  She made me a beautiful Farm Girl banner that I will proudly display.  She also tucked in 2 Ghirardelli chocolate squares which are not in the picture (and you all can guess why?) and a snail-shaped note card.  I'm curious, Diana, how did you punch out all the farmgirl pieces and the letters.  BEAUTIFUL job!  I LOVE IT! The farmgirls are so detailed - with aprons, pets, and all.  Superb! Thank you, thank you. These pictures don't do the banner justice!

                      | Oh Linda thank you for your wonderful appreciation!  In answer to your question, I have a cricut paper cutting machine and I used my Country Life cartridge to create your banner.  I'm very glad that you liked it and your chocolate.

                      | Vanessa- Love!!!  The black kitty!  Keep him inside on a halloween!!   Mom had a black kitty who was about 7 months old one Halloween and every time a trick or treater came by he would arch and hiss and bounce backward- wonderful effect !! Kids lived it :-) Have a Happy Day.
