Congratulations Sara! Enjoy your new book and all the grand stories inside!

Yes! I love Little House on the Prairie ❤️ I read the series in Junior High. One of my favorite young girl series. I was 11.

I love Little House on the Prairie!! I have read and reread the series many times!! I was probably around 8-10 when I first read them. My favorite books in the series would be the later books about Laura and Almanzo. I really want to go out to South Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, and Kansas and visit all the little house sites one day! It’s a dream of mine!

My mom read the series to my family when I was very young. Great stories! I have visited the site in SD.

I have not read the Little House on the Prairie series. I have heard much about them and would like to read them some day. They are on my large list of things to read!

I read the series when I was about 10 years old – I couldn’t wait to start the next one!

Well, I can’t really remember when I read them, but, of course I did! And, over & over, too.
As well my 3 sisters, my 2 children were read to and then read them on their own, even my 2 grandsons were read to and I look forward to reading to my great-grand daughter. Had the complete set, gave them to my daughter for her boys and plan to get a set for msH, too.
Loved them all!

I love your magazine..
Everything anout it. I sure enjoy this field guide..
Thanks..

I read Little House series in middle school. My children all read it. Also now we all watch the tv series reruns. We just adore all books and the show.

YES! The first time was not until I was in my 20’s, but I’m hooked and I read the series every year since then. That’s a lot of years. I even had my mom reading them before she passed away.

I started reading the series when I was ten. I received the boxed set for Christmas. I always asked Santa for books! ( Still do)

My mom used to read them to me when I was a baby.

I read the series in the 1980s with my girls. Today, I still think about Laura and her family life on that big prairie. These are so many aspects of these books that cross all barriers of time!

I was in third or fourth grade. They are all wonderful to read and read again.

Loved the Little House Series. I feel many times as if growing up in e 50’s was a lot like those prairie daya. Good times, friends, family. There were many hardships but everyone worked together. School was so important, as was church and community.

Oh yes, I read these books when I was around 8-9 years old (I’m talking about the mid-1960s). LOVED them!! They were always one of my favorites so of course I was thrilled when the TV series came about.

I think I read some way back when. But not sure.

I was 12 when I first read the Laura Ingalls books. I lover Little House on the Prairie.

I read the series when I was in elementary school-second and third grades.

I read the series as a young adult, about the time the tv series was winding down. I was especially drawn in to the books because of the detailed adventures with the Morgan horses, since I had just purchased my first Morgan brood mare.

The origami book looks like fun! I did some oragami when I was a kid, many moons ago. I now have a five year old grandson and know teaching him origami would lead to many hours of fun.

Thanks for a chance to win.

what a great book I have long to be able to create origami crafts. I would love to
explore more in this avenue of paper folding. When I master such a craft of wonderful farm animals this would be so great to do with the grandkids. I know they would love to
learn how to make cows, chickens and give them to friends. We live in farm areas and there are many cow farms, lama’s, chickens, goats, and of course horse farms. They would be able to relate more with this paper craft. I am told there is special paper to create. I hope to win this wonderful book to future my craft experience. Thank you for offering such a wonderful book. I pray that the person who wins will enjoy it to the fullest. Blessings to all who enter, Winnie

I have done some basic origami and have had fun with it. This book full of origami farm animals would be so much a great time. I work for a rural school and have recently gotten the school it’s own coop and chickens and ducks. The children would love to do origami farm animals and what a great way to work on fine motor skills!

I would love to win the origami book. I learned to make boats and sailor hats when I was a child, however, I taught school for 22 years and many of my students would make me frogs, various kinds of birds and other animals. I loved them and would display them my desk. They were amazing little creatures and always a welcomed gift from an entertaining student. Origami is an extraordinary type of art. Madelyn Shields

When I was in High school I liked folding paper cranes. I challenged myself to fold 1,000 of them before I graduated. I used colored paper, magazine pages, newspaper, notebook paper… basically anything I could get my hands on.

I managed to fold all 1,000 in time, and I strung them all on long pieces of yarn (50 per string) and hung them in my bedroom.

In 2011 I was put in a situation where I had to move and I couldn’t take my cranes with me. I was going to throw them away, but my friend (who was helping me pack) asked if she could take them instead. So I gave her my cranes. It turns out she used them to decorate a party she held for seniors!

I have done origami with my kindergarten students. One of my students gave me an origami calendar. I chose an animal that we could do together. It was a lot of fun. This book looks like something I could do with my students.

My 14year old great son would just love this book . I hope to win it for him.

Love origami and especially making Farm Animals. Would like the book to add to my artist opportunities for the 5-12 year old artists in my 2 week summer art camp at my studio The Painted Tree Studio.

Love Mary Jane’s Farm!

My Father-In-Law gave me a subscription to your magazine. I love the articles and recipes. My 12 year old son was looking at the magazine and realized there was a chance to win the book Origami Farm. He was really excited. He LOVES doing origami and is VERY talented with it. Thank you for this chance to win this book.

I would enjoy running through my thoughts to bring up those memories of working with oragami folds; including mastering the art of folding napkins for the multitude of bridal showers,baby showers and friends who treasure a gourmet meal. Thanks. MaMere

My 11 year old daughter reads the Mary Jane magazine all the time when she saw this book she said she had to have it. She sits for hours doing origami and she’s getting pretty good at it.

Sure love the idea of farm animal paper-craft for children to play with—a blissfully wonderful pastime away from computers!

I love doing origami; I just recently did a origami kit that really caught my attention.

I’ve dabbled in origami off and on since I was a teenager. Recently, I attempted some paper crafts for decorations for a local fundraiser. I was inspired by a recent art exhibit where the artist used a lot of origami to create amazing paper sculptures. Unfortunately, my daughters and I decided that my origami skills were quite lacking. Even my crane looked like a super sad pterodactyl. I really want to try to make the origami cow that’s pictured in the magazine. So cute!

I started doing Origami when I was in 2nd grade and had a friend who was a Korean War orphan and she taught me how to make a simple house and piano. Next I learned more from watching a show on PBS and have been interested in it ever since.

My daughter, Chrissy, who is now 40 years old, took home a blue ribbon for her origami design when she was in elementary school! It was sent to compete in Santa Fe, NM and won blue ribbon. Her daughter, my precious Brooklynn, who is 10 years old, loves your magazine almost as much as I do. She just saw this farm origami & was over the moon in love with it! Looks like another origami artist here.

I’m not sure what website is required, and since it is not a required field, deleted it. I hope this clarifies it.

When my girls were in school they read “Sadako and the thousand paper cranes” by Eleanor Coerr. I believe they tried their hand at Origami then; so the two oldest both took Japanese in college, the oldest did a 3 month exchange and when she got married we folded 50 paper cranes to put on her wedding cake. She got quite good at doing very small ones. My 2nd oldest graduated with a degree In Asian cultures determined to be a Manga artist. She has not become a Manga artist even though she took four years of it in a Japanese school, but settled down in the mountains of Japan to sustainably farm and now has 4 little ones with her Japanese husband.

Only experience with origami , is i found out i was all thumbs ! lol

Our girls are homeschooled and one of their lessons is in origami. They have made dragons, frogs and working on Yoda (HARD)!!! It has been discouraging at times. They made the chicken in this months issue of MJF and enjoyed it. The book would be be an awesome addition to their lesson and so discouraging. Thank you.

my creative passion is quilting/sewing. it may be a table runner, wall-hanging, bed quilt or possibly a vest, a jacket or a purse. Working with fabrics makes me happy.

My creative passion is making Greeting cards and bookmarks requested by my friends. I enjoy using scraps and leftovers, things I find around my home.

I too love being creative with my penmanship. I love to have special pens as well as note paper/cards to show the person how special they are when getting that special note/card or gift as well as my creative tags for my baked goods that I share with that special person for the day. I love to bake and making special tags for the goodies is so special for me so that person loves to see how easy it is to show others they are cared for and how special they are in this world. I often give to the homeless, older people or just someone I want to surprise for that day. When one gives to others we get so much back in return. I love being that person. I hope to win this wonder book to help me along with being even more creative in writing to others or just my crafts. I often make quilts and create my own labels for that quilt. I hand write all of them with special pens. I love this magazine of yours with wonderful recipes, educational articles on foods, crafts, etc. I hope you will continue to inspire all of us woman in this world.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do. 🙂 Winnie

Currently, my passion is learning to play my mountain dulcimer and learning to jam with friends and bicycling. I am also intrigued with art journaling and enjoy pinning examples of it on Pinterest.

My creative endeavor is gardening and passing my knowledge on to my children and grandchildren. Nothing is better than taking a “flower walk” with granddaughter, Audrey. Now if I can only get to think that weeding is not boring!!!

I like to sew, embroidery, quilt! I’d like to learn to hand letter !

My creative endeavor would have to be making seasonal wood decorations. It’s been a little while since I have made any, but I love when I can sit down and dig into some painting and decorating. It’s one of the best ways I can express my creativity!

My creative passion is taking a piece of history and restoring it to its original beauty or repurposing it. I love the stories behind the pieces I find. I love working with wood and lettering so this creative package would be very useful.

As a self-employed bookkeeper, I live in a world of numbers so being creative is a very important part of my week. I set aside 1 day a week to step out of my analytical self and tune into my creative side, it helps keep me balanced. I have so many creative endeavors going, I love to sew, currently working on renovating our old patio furniture for our upcoming family reunion. I am also working on 2 wedding scrapbooks, one for my daughter who was married a couple of years ago and one for my son that just got married in June. I am also working on a cross-stitch for my son and new daughter in law that will go with their wedding photo.

I am a small-batch producer of all-natural handmade baked goods. It is my passion, my love, my therapy. I am trying to grow into a full-time business with my baked goods and provisions, farmhouse line and backyard farm. I thank the Lord every day for giving me these treasures of my children and my home!

Right now I getting creative in my yard. We were recently flooded with 2.5 feet of mud and water. I had just put my plants in and mulched all of my beds. I’m re-planting and re-mulching. Next up I will be digging out all of the mud from the creek bed. I would love to win this book. Calligraphy used to be very relaxing for me, but I’ve gotten away from it and only do the occassional birthday card 🙂

creative lettering is s craft I have always wanted to learn and I believe this book will help me tremendously

Well I have many, quilting, scrapbooking, painting/drawing in any media (oils are a little tricky to me) canning, gardening, baking, making wreaths etc…my friends & I have a club called craftahollics anonymous where we meet once a month & work on a project together. It’s wonderful:) In high school my art teacher gave me my first calligraphy pen & a book on how to do it. From then on I was the official name writer on all of the certificates & awards given for 3 years hahaha. I loved it but after school it fell to the wayside as some things do. I would love to learn that beautiful art form again.

I love writing snail mail letters to my many friends around the world. I find the outside of the envelope is just as important as the letter inside. I love to decorate the envelope with calligraphy. I also draw flowers and other cute things, like cats peeking through the leaves. The envelope’s are a lovely work of art. My husband always photographs the finished envelope, front and back.
I now have a nice archive of my calligraphy/drawings.

I enjoy writing and reading. I write to my 7 grandchildren every other week. Almost 2 years ago when we moved to North Carolina I sent each grandchild a map of NC. I also did this for a few friends. When we go on a day trip or two weeks I do an itinerary where we have been and what we have seen along with pictures and info I have picked up along the eay. I always do a personal letter to each and mail. I have also done a traveling Grandma Karen. My grandkids love the travel and have fun searching the map. They live in Michigan, Alaska and Nebraska.
I subscribe to your magazine and love it. Thank you.

My recent passion is Coloring – the new rage. I have been drawing & painting all my life, and making my own greeting cards for every occasion. I’m always looking for new ideas & especially lettering styles. Having 11 grandchildren & 26 great-grands keeps me busy coming up w/new card ideas for all those birthdays! I have gotten some inspirations from Mary Jane”s Farm magazine, not only for cards, but my other crafts (sewing, quilting, decoupage, etc.) & gardening. I may be 86, but never idle.

My current favorite craft is art journaling, since I can paint, glue, draw…whatever..lots of fun and relaxing too!

In art class in school, I always loved calligraphy time! I recently saw a video on a master handwriter. I would like to hone my handwriting skills! Maybe even teach a class or two.

My favorite endeavor is teaching my grands and great grands how-to read with passion using fake accents, making strawberry jam, sewing fine seams or cooking up gourmet meals.

I first did calligraphy in art class in high school. Since then I have done lots of other “artsy” things. One of the latest was fashioning a coffee table out of hand sanded and finished, curly maple, using a set of legs rescued from the dump. It has a facinating pattern, almost like looking at the desert from the air.

“Creative Lettering and Beyond: Inspiring Tips, Techniques & Ideas” book brought to my mind of my grandmother’s handwriting in old letters that was jaw-droppingly beautiful, so much so that this book would inspire me to cultivate such an artistic skill for writing snail mail on fragile paper and sealing on the back of the envelopes with embossed wax stamped in calligraphical initials to family and friends. A dying work of art that needs to be revived to its heyday! My creative endeavor/passion is quilting, sewing, gardening, and cooking that I love doing for the home and family.

I really enjoy calligraphy and love learning new lettering styles. I also really enjoy puttering around in my little garden of herbs, flowers and vegies. Current projects for the summer are going through each room of the house trying to simplify.

When I was a young girl I learned to sew from an Aunt who tried to compensate for my deceased Mother. After sewing I tried macrame and then crocheting, cross stitching,
Crewel, petit point, beadwork and jewelry. All of which helped pay the bills. I taught my daughters to love home, family, nature and creativity. When they and their families get together a craft activity is always on the program. And so my Grandchildren are learning to appreciate being creative in many forms. The two oldest granddaughters love books and journeling. They frequently receive art kits and can dry up a marker or use up colored pencils in a short time. Today I mostly create Mosaics artwork, cross stitch, color and crochet. But Iam blessed to share my love of art of all kinds with the people I love most.

My favorite creative endeavor is making the KitcheWitches :). They always make me happy as they develop. I especially love making group custom orders, because the stories and pictures that come before and after are just precious.
I love adding little handwritten notes to my orders, and have recently discovered colored calligraphy pens! They are fantastic, but I am still learning the actual lettering.

My favorite creative craft/project is the one I am working on at any given moment! 😉
I am interested in so MANY things: quilting, sewing, crochet and creative lettering. I am retired and don’t have enough time to do the things I want to do. I have been interested in calligraphy writing for years, but am just now having time to get involved with it. I would like to make my own greeting cards and stationery, etc. Love the fancy writing, I have never liked my own writing. Love your magazine, I just saw my first copy recently. Thanks for having it for us to enjoy and learn from.
