Tamara, our Farmgirl Rochelle is your mystery partner. Gals we don't have to keep our identity a secret when we send, we just want it to be a surprise until then

What beautiful mail art everyone has received so far! I just sent mine out today, so it should be coming shortly as it doesn't have too far to travel, barring a snowstorm perhaps:)
Blessings to you on your life's journey. |

I received the MOST BEAUTIFUL mail art from Sara Marquez.  
And a beautiful water color card too.
I cannot pass by without stopping to admire yet another detail. Thank you Sara. I love your art work.

A few days ago I found this lovely mixed media postcard in my mailbox, and a great message. I wish my photo showed the detail to you better. Thanks Sarah!! It sure looks as if there were many steps involved to create the complex design, I really like it :)

Beth, thank you so much for the fabulous "Book" shelf and other goodies! I love the book mark and the little key frame...The map in the background is of the local area including my hometown of Renton. Very nice artwork!

WOW!
and WOW!
This handmade, year-round, keepsake album that Marilyn made in Stephenville, Texas is amazing! I am so touched by the amount of work it represents, the thought put into each of the seasons of the calendar, and the piecing of so many beautiful papers into one lovely art piece! (I love paper, Marilyn!) I wish my photos could do it justice, but you really have to hold it in your hands to appreciate the construction, the double folding pages, and all the surprises on each turn of a page! I'd crash the chat site if I tried to send a shot of each one! Thank you Marilyn! I love it! We must be Sisters-at-Art!

Sara, I am happy that it made it safely, and I am glad you like it. I had fun going back and forth among the pages. It reminded me of a house with secret doors.

Marilyn,
Welcome back to the mail art swap! Thank you so much for the beautiful mail art! Your attention to detail is highly noted. I love your use of a "library card" on the back as well! I'm excited to decorate with it this month :)

You're welcome Diane! I had fun making it!
And Kristi in Washington, thanks so much for the mixed media wall hanging! It's in my studio looking very cute.

Received the mail art today! What a pick me up after having a wisdom tooth pulled this morning and class tonight and work tomorrow, the perfect story for me! It's so pretty and I'm still not done pawing through all the little pockets. Thank you Vanessa, this is epic. And hahaha, love the ticket to reefer madness live. MST3K forever. ;)

Wow, you all did some serious justice to books this month. Keep posting pictures, I promise I'm working on the gallery! And for those of you who haven't received your mail art, hold tight. At the end of this week, after everyone has had time to receive, I will review the roster to see what's what
