Me too Darlene! Outstanding art work for sure!
Marilou I'm happy you got it before October! I was so in a hurry to get it to you! There is a small box heading your way that is in addition to the swap. Was waiting on an item to come in. I'm afraid we won't see much color here. I have to travel north to see any color changes. Today it was in the 90's. Ugh...and humid. I am envious of you who have a real fall!! Blessings!

You sure are right about that Debbie, including the bluest of blue skies.

Oh Deb!!! You have no idea how badly I would love to visit! We used to live in Colorado Springs and Aurora. My grandparents were in Denver and my sister also born in Denver! Most my childhood memories are from there. I ended up here due to a pcs move and DH's retirement but we are looking to go back to SD...his homeland when Sara graduates! I'd love meeting all of you Farmgirl! Just love it!

Ladies, you are all so creative and talented. This ATC thing is fun. I have not ever used good water colors before! Hadlee got me to try I have a lot to learn. I've always painted with acrylics. I hope to one day be as good as y'all are.

My, the Fall ATCs are beyond awesome ! So wonderful Farm Sisters.... Autumn in the North is my favorite seasion. In Texas.... short, sweet, and mostly brown.
When I was in Basic Training (WACS) in Alabama, I sent Mom a letter bemoaning that it was Autumn and NO colorful leaves. One day a Manila envelope arrived filled with pressed colorful leaves from big Ohio Maple trees! You know, when we talk about showing love... sometimes it's these little things we do that Shout Love from the " tree tops!"

Ed took that photo of us when we met about 2 or 3 years ago. I was impressed that Linda and Ed went out of their way so we could meet.

That's so cool Linda! Sweet!!!
Mary...your mom was awesome! I knew how you felt. Living here hasn't been that bad but I so muss seasons and colors! That's why I take Sara every year to north Georgia...so she and I both cam experience some Autumn time together. She loves it.

Girls, it is so sad that you all live so far away! In Quebec, we have a lot of leafy trees (arbres feuillus)so every region have its own colors sight-seeing festival!
My father lives up north near a forest and each year we pressed leaves between book pages. When I was younger, it was so fun to re-discover them when Autumn came back around!
Mary, your mom is truly fantastic. What a great way to bring Autumn to you!
And, Dianna, seems mine didn't reach you before October... Let's hope before Halloween... :) |

Thank you so much for my Fall ATC that arrived in today’s mail. No postmark, nothing, it is like you hand carried it to my mailbox, so strange!
How unique your ATC, you made it into a pocket and added two little cute mason jar pull outs with scarecrows on the them. I love it!   Very fall! Also two spiced apple tea bags, can not wait to try one.
Thank you so much, it was fun having you as a partner.
Hugs,
Deb

Debbie, I also meant to tell you the story of the girl on the stamp in the right hand corner. It was the 1930's and she had polio and couldn't walk, but drug herself to the garden every day, to pull weeds and pick the veggies!! True Farmgirl!! My Dr. told me the story of the artist when I went for my MS checkup. and then I saw these stamps and I just had to have them!
Hugs! Connie |

Lovely story about the girl with polio, Connie. Now that’s a wonderful example of courage and faith. Never give up.
Thanks for sharing, Mary.

Today I received my awesome ATC from Marilou! I love it, it's so beautiful! Between my October cards and my ATC's I am in heaven with all this fall color! Thank you so much for the beautiful card and goodies marilou! my daughter said she could 'smell my mail' before I ever opened it. I have a nice collection now of yummy teas to keep me through the winter months! I love my napkin (going to make some tags out of it) and the other tags! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
