Hey All of You Mail Art Farm Girls.. Do you think that we should have a Mail Art Chapter that transcends state and national boundaries (since we have our lovely Helen from New Zealand)? I have some certificates and goodies left over from the HOWDY YA'LL Texas Chaper, and I could certainly order another kit or two since we are such a large group.
Will look forward to hearing from you. I promise to get a new master list out in the next week or so.

I'll restate the one that we've discussed previously here:
Take old suitcases and decopage them with theme appropriate pictures and donate them to foster children or women's shelters.
I picked up my first two candidate suitcases yesterday at Goodwill for $2.50 each, but you may be able to do better at yard sales.
Since I've not done much decopage before, and none on suitcases, I thought these two would be my "trials"... and I will give them to my grandkids. Once I get experienced at it, then --Look Out-- my creative streak might run wild!  I thought I'd start out with using some old calendars, you know the ones that have beautiful pics and are too pretty to throw away?....
Anyway, let's hear more ideas, girls!

HI everyone - I will take part in a Mail Art Chapter! Helen, I will let Connie do the real explaining of her suggestion in answer to your question above, but I think she means this chapter would not have to reflect any certain region or state in the US (like the other chapters) or even any specific country - we would be global! A global chapter of mail artists!

Alee, read back through all the previous posts to get the best feeling for this idea. That is how I got into it, and it is fun.

You aren't a bother, ask anytime Alee, that is what we do here! It is under the Farmgirl Swap Shop/Barter heading.

Alee - I am sorry I sent you in the wrong direction! I was thinking as I typed that I was on the thread that has all the mail art stuff. Cheez....a senior moment for me, I guess!

I would definitely be part of the mail art chapter! I was going to try to get some friends together and come up with my own name, and I still will, but this would probably be much quicker and I want a Farmgirl bumper sticker for my car!
