Sheila, I am so sorry you fell on the ice. I have done that a time or two here during ice storms. Elbows are not fun when they are hurt or broken. Please take care and know we care about you. God bless you.

I also felt badly that I had somehow missed that the theme of the month was books. I guess with a four year old interrupting me in a near constant fashion, I get more distracted than I care to admit!!! This was my first time trying the mail art. I may have to practice more before I sign up again!!

Sheila, I understand the struggle of a small town. I'm glad you liked your necklace! Who knew copper was your favorite metal ;)

I hope you are feeling better. Falling on ice is no fun. Best wishes to you.

Hetty,

Please don't shoot the postman!! It was totally my fault! Your package should arrive tomorrow. Please be sure to open the card stuck to the top of your box. . . (Basically a handwritten apology explaining that a family emergency took me away for a few days. I am so sorry! I now have two VERY close family members on Hospice care. When you get "the call" you drop everything and go. I failed to get it to the Post Office on the 30th.)

Erin,
Also, to you I owe an apology. I received your very lovely journal. It is gorgeous! I don't want to fowl it up by writing in it... ha ha I am attaching photos for all to see your amazing creative work!

~Blessings to all!

Hetty,

So glad you liked it! Not sure if the denim pouch has any specific use but I loved making it and am considering making another from the other pocket from DH Levis that I refused to throw out. Crazy but there is a stress point that always seems to "give way" before you even have the jeans broken in properly! Luckily, I've convinced him that I really can use all "blow-outs" for crafting. . . not sure all of my ideas will always make it to fruition but hey, I'm working on it!

SISTERS,

Just wanted to say that being a part of this gathering is a blessing and you all have so much talent! Judging from the exchanges, I can see that our homemade projects obviously bring so much joy to one another. I know I personally have as much fun making these things as I do waiting for my surprise packages. If only there were more hours in the day to snip, clip, stitch, and glue. So thoughtfully made are these treasures. Thank you for sharing and know that checking in on chats with MJF-sisters is a definite highlight of my day!

Many Blessings to all my sister!

Thank you for the prayers, Hetty.

The power of prayer is very comforting and means so very much!

Such lovely art we're making! Tamara and Erin, your book and journal are so fun. And Doris, what a great idea for a denim pocket. I have a few of those on hand myself And thanks for all your kind words. This truly is a wonderful place to be.

It's time to turn our attention to February Mail Art. If you have not received mail art for January, please send me an email so that I can contact your partner and get it sorted out. Hope everyone had fun this month

Look, look, look what was in my mailbox yesterday: this oh-so-cute ceramic spoon courtesy of Danielle. She says she manufactures ceramics and painted this little gem just for me! Thank you so much Danielle, I absolutely love it.

Doris...thanks for posting the pictures of the adorable mail art I received. I have no idea how to upload pictures but am so pleased that everyone gets to see your adorable work. The pocket idea was ingenious. I LOVE IT. I had my family for dinner and made the chocolate-espresso cupcakes for dessert. They were delicious!! THANKS AGAIN for my wonderful and thoughtful mail art!!!

Hetty,

You are more than welcome! It was fun using all of the mediums. I collect random things that pique my interest and it's always fun to incorporate unexpected things into an exchange with other farmgirls. Originally I was planning on a wall hanging of some sort but then the little photo album found its way into my hands and it seemed like a neat idea to come up with 40+/- mini layouts than one big one. Plus, I think sometimes you run the risk that someone else might not want to display your "artwork." The little book helped alleviate that issue. You can tuck it away and take it out whenever, or if you have the space, add it to your farmgirl goodies. Right now, I personally don't have much space and most of my things are packed in boxes and only bare minimums are out. Anyhow, glad you liked it and like I mentioned, I think I will use the other rear pocket and duplicate the pouch. Another good thing about doing exchanges is that it helps build my supplies back up. Little things like glue and thread get added to the stash since a yard here and a pinch there are often all you need for a project!

Looking forward to the February exchange. Are you participating in that one as well?!

Blessings!!
