Comment: Loved the farm update and your zine! We have worn beds in the back yard. Your place and your plans for it sounds wonderful.

Comment: WOW!! What a thorough letter!! I was surprised by the zines--truly you've put in a HUGE amount of effort. You're planting things I've never even heard of!! With the growing season in full swing, I'm wishing the best for your crops and experiments!

Comment: Thanks. I loved this postcard and your story. I love thrift stores.

Comment: Thank you for all the effort you put into this :)

Comment: Thanks! Sending reply in mail.

Comment: Thank you for joining!

Comment: hi sarah--i got your great letter--so nice to hear from you. planning is so much fun--and really helps us to stay focused. happy easter--i'll write after easter.

Comment: Will write back soon :)

Comment: Thank you for the minizine. Looks like a lovely place to live.

Comment: Thank you for the mini-zine! It sounds like a lovely place to live. You're lucky to live near to nature... I love being outside ^_^

Comment: Thanks for your swap. I haven't read any of those books. It sounds like you enjoyed them, for the most part. Hope you are enjoying books you are reading now.

Comment: Thank you for the reading log Sarah. If Walls Could Talk sounds like a very interesting book, I really like histories of things and the home is something so important to everyone. I'm going to see if I can get a hold of it. = )

Comment: Thanks - fun titles to seek out! (: Happy summertime reading!

Comment: Thank you for the reading list. I have not read any of these booms so I look forward to checking them out and perhaps reading them this summer!

Comment: Hi Sarah - I just wanted to briefly comment (and I mean this in only a nice and helpful way) that I think you met the swap requirements, but I would have liked to hear more about what you liked/enjoyed about the books - one of your entries was only three sentences that basically said it wasn't your usual bag but a fun read. And, while that's great, it didn't tell me much about the book itself. The same goes for the four books you listed as "other books I read" but didn't tell me anything about; it was just a list. Glad to see you liked Neil Gaiman. He's amazing. He's also co-author of Good Omens, which is one of my favorites.

Comment: You were quite the active reader in Q2 and read a great assortment of books. I liked how you decorated the envelope.

Comment: I like how you made a newsletter out of your reading log. I will try this format for Q2 :-)

Comment: I like the zine format you used for your list. Thank you! Susan (brooklynbunch)

Comment: thank you for the great zine

Comment: Thanks for the zine! I love the idea of sending some post every single day. At first I was thinking that'd cost so much, but actually, I could send the same amount in a fortnight. Thinking like that made me think about trying it myself!

Comment: Big thank you!! I received your Feb mini vine, loved it... It was different, I never though of anything like that, I too are loving these vine swaps. Thanks for swapping. :)

 

Comment: Thanks for the note.

Comment: Thanks for the Moleskine goodies, Sarah. I'll check out your blog/zines. Cheers.

Comment: Thank you for your letter. I loved reading your reading log :)

Comment: thanks for the zine. sounds like an interesting project. good luck and happy swapping.

 

Comment: Hi Sarah! Thank you for the great zine! It was so much fun to read!

Comment: Thanks for the zine. Your project sounds very interesting. I hope it goes well.

Comment: Hi Sarah! thanks for the password so I could check out your project. Looks interesting. Is it mainly a writing club? Good luck with the group:) Take care Brenda (beenebag)

Comment: Enjoyed learning what an APA is. Thanks for the zine.

Comment: Thank you for your mail and the things included inside :)

Comment: Wow Sarah!! I really love your card!!! It's sooo cute that it makes me laugh!!! Happy swapping!

Comment: Thanks so much! Love the format!

Comment: Thank you

Comment: Thank you for the Reading Log Sarah, it arrived today. I wasn't expecting any Logs yet so it was a nice surprise! Some interesting books in there. It's interesting to know that you didn't like the Wizard of Oz retelling (was it 'Wicked'? The title was missing off the page). I saw the musical of Wicked recently and have the book on my shelf, but I'm still determined to see what I think of it! Also, I believe 'A Discovery of Witches' is on my wishlist, so I'm glad to know you enjoyed it.

Comment: Hi Sarah, Thank you for the black out poetry. Fun!! xxA

Comment: Hi Sarah- thanks for the xmassy themed mail zine, I look forward to reading it in more depth.

Comment: I received your nice airmail labels and a small card ! I really love them very much. The lovely dog on the card is alike Shih Tzu, my favorite dog. Thanks ありがとう arigato.

Comment: Thanks Sarah!

Comment: You were so fast getting this swap into the mail! I sent you a response for Oct, but it must have crossed your Nov letter in the mail.

Comment: Thank you for the make up happy swap. Thanks for the drawing:) The zine is neat, I have never seen one. Thanks for contacting.

Comment: Thanks for sharing your love of Supernatural with me. I love Dean and I thought I was the only one that LOVED Demon Dean but I'm glad I am not :) He is my fave character. I am hoping the the season ends with Dean being the new king of hell and Sam being the new god. I don't know why but that seems like a good ending.

Comment: Thanks! I am very intrigued by your new plans!

Comment: Thanks for the card! I went to the Sea World that used to be in Ohio a couple times and loved it!

Comment: Thanks for the neat Canadian Rockies card! That's a place I'd like to get to someday.

Comment: hi sarah! i received your gorgeous postcard today. i'm a huge fan of beautiful scenery postcards, and by giving me just that PLUS with an autumn background, gives you an automatic heart! thank you so so so very much. when i first laid eyes on the postcard, i even made a, "oooo!!" noise. it's just so pretty. have a wonderful rest of the day! ♥

Comment: Love this iced tea postcard! Yes it perfectly captures the feeling of being poolside - I think the lighting from the shade under the umbrella adds to the feeling! A great vintage card! And my family used to have land in Lehigh Acres - amazing to have a PC from there! Usually now you can't get fresh tea at most pools, only sodas. Thanks for a great PC!! Love it!

Comment: Thanks for all the helpful hints on being a newbie!

Comment: Ha, this card is awesome XD I want to start collecting The Scream-parodies, it'd be interesting :D

Comment: The only thing better than a chimp in a sweater is a chimp in a sweater with a mustache. Thank you! susan (brooklynbunch)

Comment: Thanks for swapping. I liked reading your lists.

 

Comment: Thanks for the zine. I like the font type and the glossy paper you used.

Comment: thank you...very professional production! creative "envelope" also.

Comment: Hi Sarah, thanks for the letter. I really enjoyed reading it, and you have such a wide and interesting range of hobbies! I'll write you a respond letter :)

Comment: Great stamp! Love that you got creative with your carving materials!

Comment: Hello, I received your moustache-mail today; a happy surprise in my mail box! Wonderful wax seal, too. Thanks!

Comment: Thank you so much for the fun zine! I love the birthday theme! :)

Comment: Thanks for the great zine. :)

Comment: Thank you for your zine. I love the topic and recipes. =)

Comment: Thank you! Now I'm hungry... :)

Comment: Thank you for the ATZ! I know you described the drawing as "simple" but I like it a lot. Have you ever experimented with gouache? I think you'd like the texture, and it's easy to use with outlines =) ...But I agree that culinary arts are just as creative! I am fascinated by them myself...perhaps we can trade recipes sometime! =)

Comment: I love your zine! I like the sideways orientation and the drawing on the front - I like simple drawings, too, but I always embellish too much. I also really like the content and can relate to it. I have called myself an artist since I was, I don't know, six? And people tell me I could sell my work if I made it more presentable, but when I try to paint or draw on canvas or nice paper, I hate what I make. My best pieces are made on scratch paper or the backs of receipts.

Comment: I thought that being able to build my own robot with the self-help book was a really creative idea! Thanks for the matchbox :]

Comment: thanks for the journal, i flipped through it and it looks great !! can't wait to sit down this weekend and read it all!! xox

Comment: Adorable monster matchbox!! I love his little feather and gun!!

Comment: Sarah!! LOL, this is a fuckin great ATC!!! No offense taken at all, in fact its a phrase I've never heard before. I agree that the word you chose is downright bad and I use it too! You and I would get along explicitly :P Thanks so much, I love this ATC!

Comment: I love that stitching on this ATC. Thanks for the card explaining the meaning, I might have been confused otherwise. Although, I must agree "that" is one of my favorite obscene words.

Comment: This looks great! Thanks

Comment: Thank you Sarah. Did you know that you spelled the word Bread "BRED". It looks like you put it on but it fell off before you got in in the envelope. I like how you made the loaf of bread. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Comment: LOVE IT !! Love Canada :)
