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 to read our guidelines.

FOR OCTOBER, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to join in. Sign-up is available through October 15. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster.

The month of October always feels like the beginning of the holidays, starting the season off with a little trick or treat. How does a holiday theme sound this month?? Whether it be spooky or sweet, lets send a Halloween Mail-Art treat. And as always, if the theme is not right for you, feel free to do your own thing.

I will send an email with your partner to you on October 17. Please send your Mail Art before October 31.

I'd like to encourage everyone to post a comment on the current month's thread when you receive your mail art. And if you can, a picture is nice. A quick thanks lets your partner know you received your mail art.

A couple more 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 and farmgirl hugs!



MaryJane's daughter,

Meg

Thanks Marilou!!!

I rec'd my October Mail Art from Mary Jo this weekend, thank you so much! Love my handmade Gratitude hanging. I have the perfect spot so everyone can see it on Thanksgiving. And I was in need of new recipe cards so very happy to receive those too along with handwritten note...

Ah, Mary Jo! What a relief you are a lover of cats!!! And Lily is, indeed a lovely cat. She resembles one of my farm kitties, named Cowboy!

Lola, thanks so much for the fantastic vintage apple dishtowel that you transformed into a cute zipper pouch! It's really pretty and will match my fall décor perfectly. I'll try to post a photo later this week I don't have time tonight. Just wanted to let you know it arrived!

Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Dirtduchess/ Patsy. The album came from me. Seems it had a hard ride getting to you? It had a card in it when it started. I am happy it made it to you and you like it.
saram Posted - Nov 03 2016 : 08:10:40 AM
I am so tickled by all these creative pieces that I just want to run to the studio and create!! Well done girls! And photos are what really make it fun for all of us!

Diana, im glad you and your Grandama like him and that he arrived safely and in a timely matter...I love to sew gifts for people!

What a darling owl :)

Sherry I'm glad you like the little bats!

Marilyn, I worked on my bat project at my Grandmother's also - she was amused by it. She is 95 and used to sew and do projects all the time.

So much fun to see all the farmgirl creativity!!

I got a cute little "widow" owl from Dianna yesterday, but what with one thing & another I opened it today. As directed, she is now out of mourning. The little cat and pumpkins are darling, too. Thank you so much!

Thank You Liscuva! I absolutely LOVE this adorable pumpkin you sent me! It is so sweet, happy & beautifully made! I've been tardy as well, your box with sweet treats (lol photo of those no longer possible) card & pumpkin came Saturday. I brought him down to show my Grandmother (she got me turned onto MJF) she was delighted, so he spent Halloween Day with her :) He is now back home from his visit.

To the partner waiting for my box: it went out on Monday & the Postmaster said 2-3 days, sorry for the delay! I took it to town on Sat to send it out & left your address at home... (and couldn't figure out how to get it out of an email folder from my phone! grrr)

Thanks for all the Farmgirl fun!

I received a package today that looked like it had been opened and retaped. The tracking tag was over the return address. The tape had ripped off part of the return address. The only thing I could recognize was the zip code of 49032. I googled the zip code and it showed Centreville, MI.
There was no name inside the package. Inside was a beautiful brown paper bag journal or album. I love it. Someone spent a lot of time on this. It has a list of references to Thanksgiving. I am going to start out writing in it about Halloween night. Our only trick or treater was our grandson. We live way out in the country. The rest will be daily writings of my count down to our big family get together on Thanksgivng.
Thank you to my mystery partner. Please reveal yourself. Can't wait to see who you are.
Hugs,
Patsy.
