********************************************************************
By the request of a small group of farmgirls who participated in the first altered file folder pocket exchange in October, we'll be doing another exchange for November.
The theme this month for our altered file folder pocket exchange is: A GRATEFUL HEART! Seems appropriate for November with our Thanksgiving holiday approaching. A special time of year to count our blessings and remember all that makes our hearts grateful.
Please use any medium you'd like to decorate your file folder pocket to go along with the GRATEFUL HEART theme. Use lace, ribbon, twine, etc to stitch or weave the sides to create the pocket effect. Please include 3 or 4 small items to insert into the pocket.
If you didn't participate in the first swap, you may view some of the photos from the swap in October for any inspiration!
Sign ups until November 7th, just leave a message in this thread.
Mail out by Monday, November 14th.
Happy Creating!

Hi Marilou,
I did receive your email! Thanks. :) I am running a tad behind and your package might not go out until tomorrow morning. Between taking trees down, working more hours at the office an surprise company on the way right now, I got a day behind. So sorry about that.
Hope you have a great day!

Thank You so much for the really beautiful altered folder and all of the unbelievable tuck ins. The gratitude journal will be used for just that. Recording what I am grateful for each day. The beautiful coaster, tea and cookies will be enjoyed this week when we get our first snowstorm and I love the notecards and tea towel. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful partner and hostess.

Marilou, I haven't forgotten about you, I didn't hear back on my email I sent you, so I wasn't sure if you got it or not. I am still looking for the best way to mail to you. :)

Marilou, I received your beautiful folder over the weekend, thank you so much! I love all the mediums you used, stitching on the sides, fabric, ribbons, papers, paint and not sure what else... please share how you created all the textures, it's amazing! Also, enjoyed the tucks, especially the grateful card, I plan to frame that and enjoy on my desk while I work each day. Thank you!

April, I'm so glad you enjoy it! I love mixing all kind of mediums in my work. The folder is actually a couple of layers on top of each other: gesso than papers (all kinds, from old dictionary to scrapbook ones), some napkin/tissus paper, mark making, a layer of colors (acrylic, inks and watercolor), again papers and waterproof paint pen and doodles :) You had it quite figured out already :P
My sewing machine didn't like to stitch over all of that however ...
