Hi ladies! Let’s do some Mail Art!
For those who do not know, I have had the privilege of taking over Mail Art! This year it will be occurring every other month and our first Mail Art of the year kicked off in May with a beautiful start. So, for clarity, it will happen in May, July, September, and November for this year.
This months theme for September was hard to decide. I had two ideas I could go with. One is the classic fall theme, pretty leaves, cozy books, tea and coffee, all that good stuff. Or I could do the second choice…
You see, my birthday is in September and ever since I was a little girl I have been obsessed with cows. When I was little, I loved cow print, wore little red cowboy boots every day, and dreamed of owning a dairy farm. Now I don’t know if owning a dairy farm is for me anymore, but my love of cows still stands!
So, for my birthday month the theme will be all things cow! Cow print, big grassy fields, dairy products, anything that cows represent and inspire! You can go very literal and collage together a bunch of cows on a big grassy field or go abstract by making cow print from scraps of paper. All I hope is you find cows as joyful as I do!
If this is your first time signing up for Mail Art, please visit the topic Farmgirl Mail Art to read our guidelines.
For September Mail Art, please leave a comment on this thread stating you'd like to join in. Sign-up is available through August 19th.
I’ll send an email with your partner to you by August 26th. Please send your Mail Art before September 30th and be sure to include enough postage for your Mail Art to reach its destination.
Please post a comment on this thread once you receive your mail art to let your sender know that you received their art. If you can add a picture, we’d love to see your mail art! 
If you have any questions or concerns, please send me an email. I'm happy to help! My email is clara@maryjanesfarm.org.

Diana, it is i deed here. I wanted to get mine sent out before I opened it. I will open it when I get home. I am sorry it has taken so long.

I know Terri's gotten busy with school since it just started. But this is what I sent her a couple weeks ago. I sure hope she got it.

Here's my wonderful collection of cows from Clara! I have it hanging on the wall in my office/craft room. Thanks again, Clara. This was a fun theme :)

Clara - I love my mail art! Thank you so much!!! I'll post a picture soon (I have to do it the old fashioned way with a camera and then uploading the pictures), but I wanted to let you know it arrived and I love it! Yours will be going out this week.

Clara,
I also enjoy thetraditional fall themes of September, and school of course begins on 9/1 this year. But, I really like the idea of a cow art project!. Please count me in. I missed the June cow swap this year so, thank you for helping me enjoy our cow projects anyway.

Happy early birthday, Clara! I don't consider myself a great artist, but I share your love of cows! And I have the dairy farm too :) I can't pass up a cow swap. Please sign me up. On a side note - every June we do the dairy month swap. We swap a cow "something or other" and a recipe that uses a dairy ingredient. I'd love to have you join the fun next year!
