It's time to sign up for August 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 AUGUST, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to participate. Sign-up is available through August 15th. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster.
According to my calendar, August is Happiness Happens Month. So let's make that our theme this month. Happiness. Whatever it means to you. And remember, you don't have to follow the theme if it's not right for you.
And I would also like to send out a challenge to all my mail art sisters this month. I want to develop a gallery of our work for others to see its sheer awesomeness, so please take a picture of your mail art when you receive it this month and post it on this thread. If you need help with that, shoot me an email and I can help.
I will send an email with your partner to you on August 16th. Please send your Mail Art before August 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!

Hi, this is my 1st time, would my partner be in my regular email? I did get one asking for my address, and responded to that one. Thanks for your help!

It would be in your regular email, coming from kristine@maryjanesfarm.org Check your junk mail, it often times ends up there on the first go round. Let me know if you can't find it and I will be happy to resend.

It comes in regular email and looks like regular email. Could you have sent it to trash? I have had to go in my trash and get some things.

Thanks for the tips, I did check spam & trash. I did get the 1st email to submit my address, but for some reason this message appears to be dawdling in cyber space!

Okay Diana, I sent you an email through this forum. Let's see if that works. "Occasionally"  I transpose an email, so we'll try to figure it out. Thanks!

Callene, I hope you will go get that tooth pulled, so you can be feeling much better soon.
Sorry, my table changed your name to challenge. I hate that it thinks it is a good speller and can read my mind. Frustrating.

Yall may think I am crazy,but my tooth is the least of my worries at this point.My oldest furbaby has a slipped disc in her back and can not use her back legs.She is on meds and has a long road ahead.But the vet is very positive about her recovery.Like most things in my life when it comes to my family,they always come before me.My tooth is not infected,I know that feeling.But my focus is on my baby Cassie,right now.I can not lose my baby.Thank you for your concern.I know it is important for me to stay on top of this with my tooth,because it IS dangerous.Especially being so close to my brain and heart.PLEASE keep US in your prayers.Thank you Callenequote:
