It's time to start signing up for JANUARY 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 JANUARY, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to join in. Sign-up is available through January 15. If your comment appears after you've posted it, that means you're on the roster.

We are in the midst of a snow storm here at the farm so let's do a color theme and of course, the color theme for this January is white (or call it winter wonderland). 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 January 17. Please send your Mail Art before January 31. Let's make a joint New Year's Resolution and get our Mail Art out before the end of the month!

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. We all love seeing the inspiring art! And 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

Quite behind, but I wanted to show you the wonderful things Becky sent me!

The chocolates didn't last long, I loved the card and hung it up, as I did the beautiful bag - had to take a few photos to show you the detail of the winter side and the Valentine side, so much time has passed, it's back on the winter side! Winter in NH doesn't want to let go, forecast to get another foot of snow Friday/Saturday! Also got this sweet card making kit, what a treat. Thank you Becky, for your wonderful art & treats to boot. They really brightened up my winter days! This Farmgirl box arrived at the end of January, sorry to be so long to post. I don't do well when my apple cart gets bumped, haha, my son had an injury, and my Gram caught one of those nasty bugs - they both needed tending to, but I'm happy to report both are pretty much mended now so back to regular type days!

Sooo, my January mail art sent to the lovely Joyce Hein came back to me after nearly a month floating around in postal land. Joyce, my package says that you have moved and no longer use the P.O. Box # I was given. Can I get your correct address so I can get you your January mail art?
BIG apologies to you!
Hugs,
Aimee

I feel AWFUL! I keep tracking my package sent 1/26 and it keeps going back and forth all over the map!? It still says "in transit to destination". My beautiful Farmgirl, it is still on it's way!

Since I have yet to received anything, I suspect it should be me :) It always take a lot of time for mail to reach me (and to receive from me also) so I'm not fretting... yet! -^-^- *joking*

Thanks April! I'm glad you enjoy them and actually found a use for it! And thanks for your kind comments on my handwriting. I find that handwriting add a personal and warm touch that no virtual e-mail/message could ever achieve! -^-^-

Hey! i have a mystery Farmgirl friend who sent this beautiful winter tag complete with my own little bottle of snow! Also there is a packet of white chocolate mocha (yum) and a Paris teabag. The artwork is beautiful on the tag and certainly fit the winter theme as you can see!

Yes Marilyn. The legs and feet are wire and go up into the body! My favorite part is the face as well! :)

Dianna, are the feet wire? And does the wire go up through the body to hold it up? I used to make teddy bears and loved to get to the faces, because as I added the eyes, nose and mouth the personality emerged...and I fell in love.
