Response: I'm glad you liked that and would LOVE to see your zine! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: I wasn't entirely sure I hadn't sent you that before. I'm glad it's the first time! I still haven't gotten my tattoo, because EXPENSIVE, but one of these days...only one of my daughters has gotten hers so far.
Response: I finished it and it's awesome! Now I'm watching the show with DAVID TENNANT and some other people who are okay. If you feel the need to read the book first so you can understand the show (if you intend to watch the show) don't bother. This show is a word-by-word recreation of the book! I love it! I'm going to look into the book you mention, because I like that type, and not all books can be 5/5!
Response: Yeah, our local bakery just closed, so we gotta depend on ourselves. Actually, I rarely went to the local bakery. Maybe that was the problem! If you're ever in the neighborhood... (you're probably very lost! hahahahaa)
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Me, too! I look forward to hearing from you.
Response: You're welcome!

Response: Thanks for the rating and heart, but your comment makes me think you have the wrong person. No airports for me!
Response: I'm glad you were happy! That was the goal. Thanks for the kind comments and the rating and heart.
Response: Oh, I'm SOOO SORRRY!!!! I take it SUPER SERIOUSLY to spell people's names right, so I feel worse than you probably think by doing that. I will be SO careful when you pop up again. Hehe I think everybody may have answered that with eels. My partner did for sure. Thanks for the rating, and again, sorry for the misspell, Michele.
Response: Very welcome, I had fun being able to sneak them out early since I had everyone's info. I gotta remember to send the one who signed up after...
Response: Thanks! That wasn't mine, though. I had the dog one. BDE Big Dog Energy. I really love the art history one, too. :D
Response: Excellent. I look forward to getting to know you. Thanks for the rating and heart!

Response: Cool, can't wait to hear back. Cheers! Thanks for rating and heart!
Response: The Nigel inside is much more subdued normal midwestern bird. I couldn't stop myself from boosting his color a bit here and there and then well, he looks like a tropical bird! Which who knows, he may have gotten lost in MN. Hmm... Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: They are so good. Pop'lol by Pilot. Next I'm getting a set of 36 of the same kind in .5 (those were .7). My pen friend got me addicted to pens! Thanks for rating and heart!

Response: Oh, did you like them a bit? hahahahahahaha! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: I had so much fun making that. I never made anything like it, but I've made two more since then for different projects. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Awesome! I'm glad you like it, and wow, what fun going up in a hot air balloon! I imagine Atlanta's Pride Parade would be way more fun and outlandish than in Minneapolis. Thanks for rating and heart, and letter will be on its way within a couple days here. My July zines are actually all ready to go!
Response: I did send a pink critter who was overcrowding the pink page down to the cookie page, so you can choose both haha! thanks for rating and heart!
Response: No problem. Things happen. Did all the 3D stuff stay on it? Thanks for rating!

Response: Glad! Thanks for rating and heart!
Response: Kinda Stepford Wives, if it's the one I think it was. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: It does really make a difference when you see them folded up like a book, doesn't it? Thanks for the rating!
Response: Thanks! Thank you for rating and for heart.
Response: That's an awesome line, concept! Nostalgia for what you didn't do! haha! Well, you can borrow my nostalgia any day. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yeah, that would be boring. So we didn't discuss what to do if one of us got the other, but I still think you should answer mine! Thanks for the rating and the heart! You can always count on me to write WAY more than is absolutely necessary!
Response: Thanks for rating!
Response: Thanks for rating! Glad you liked it!
Response: Thanks for rating! I'm glad you did, because that was special to me growing up and involved my dad, who I miss and love! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: We'd be great Netflix (or Hulu) buddies! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks! Yeah, I adore that picture I'm so glad I grabbed it at the time. He looks like he's seriously knitting, right? hahaaha Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Well, it is counting each side of an A5 (5.5x8?) paper which has designs on one side so not the FULL page on that side, and so on. But yeah, I write LONG stories. Ask anybody. I even write long swap ratings responses haha! Thanks for the rating!
Response: Ooh, I'm glad you liked the Doctor Who. So far nobody is telling me the pickup lines! Did you get Jack's? His is obvious! You should join my Wacky Holiday zine swap. Very awesome fun. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're so welcome! I hope you like the socks. I struggled after I bought them for you to actually send them haha! Thanks so much for rating and heart and understanding.
Response: OMG that's EXACTLY what it was like! I never put those together. Well at least you got to knit some. I like to have tried things even if I don't stick with them forever. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for rating!
Response: You're very welcome. Don't print it. It's coming your way! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Yes, exactly. I hope you didn't quit mid-quilt but would understand if you did. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and thank you so much for the rating!
Response: You're very welcome! Thanks for rating!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for rating.
Response: I think I do, too. I'm so glad you liked it, you're very welcome, and thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Hey, give it a shot. You might--no, you're not going to like it. I mean, the first part is all right, but when you realize she's introducing the entire life history of every doorman and other insignificant person they pass by, it's just ridiculous. Plus the concept of the one person changing is unbelievable. But if you've spent money on it, do give it a try. I will DEFINITELY look for Miracle Creek!
Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Ooh, not sure I could explain diamond painting, as it involves neither diamonds nor painting, but if you google it, you can see. It's an addictive kind of pixel art. It's cheesy as hell, but very zen and meditative. Thanks for the rating and the star!
Response: What a cool idea! Thanks for the rating and heart.
Response: Remember when uber meant something totally different? haha! Glad you liked the card and thanks for the rating and heart.
Response: Yeah, I think we could ALL claim that craft room, right? I honestly find it hard to work if it's all neat and orderly. I need stuff, stuff, stuff, so I can grab and pick. It's the same on the computer - many many windows open when creating the zines! I'm so glad you liked this and I have my June ones ready to go. Tell people to sign up - we're short! haha! Thanks much for the rating and heart.
Response: Very welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: You have the BEST attitude! So I actually made a black-n-white zine this week, not for wacky, though. I LOVE color but I also like mellow, like vintage or soft or neutral/ natural colors. Though if you found THIS colorful, wait until you get JUNE'S (hint - Pride month)!
Response: Yeah, I think activity zines are fun. Of course people who aren't into Doctor Who wouldn't know what to do with it, but poor them. You gotta just feel sorry, right? hahaha! I love that you have a keeper collection and that I made it in! I had fun with the funny quips and such. And the elephant - half funny, bigger half VERY NOT FUNNY. But meaningful. And yes, anytime anything has to do with space, there will be the TARDIS. Including on my mom's print of Starry Night in the hallway! If you make an activity zine, send me one. Ooh, maybe I should make a swap for an activity zine! Oh, and thanks for heart and rating!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! Thank you for the rating and heart! Have a lovely summer - it's finally summer here! Also see ya in June.
Response: You're very welcome! About the allergies? Thanks for rating and heart!
Response: I so look forward to it. I actually have a couple days of mail not looked at (super hard deadline on work - yeah, so I'm doing this...go figure) so if it's in there yay, and otherwise, can't wait! I'd love to be pen pals! Thanks for the heart and rating!
Response: AWESOME! Yeah, totally, the lady who runs the world-famous fabulous most-fun-swap-series-GOAT-scattergories is a celebrity to me! Glad it brought you a chuckle or perhaps a hardy guffaw! Thanks for the rating and heart, and then all those other hearts. I'd love to hear from you!
Response: Right? Though they stayed firmly in the same wheelhouse, just that they are DIFFERENT and somewhat more colorful. Yeah, that's the kind of pic they use of "sad dog" but also that's how dogs look 3 seconds after their owner leaves cuz they're never completely sure you're coming back, it seems haha! You don't have a caption for me? Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Excellent. I'm glad you have use for them and like them. I love those big ones, too, so I'm glad you did. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks for the kind words and you're very welcome. See you shortly for June! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: I will I will I will! Yay! I'm glad you liked the tiny envelopes. It is awesome, isn't it? It reminds me of how I love shopping, even for toilet paper. Preferably for craft supplies, but even tiny envelopes with tiny surprises are super fun. Thanks for the rating! I'd love a letter back - I think we could have lots to say!
Response: Very true, my friend! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks for the arting and heart!
Response: Yeah, I couldn't figure it out either. Glad you like it - thanks for rating!
Response: Much better, thanks for good thoughts. Thanks for the rating and heart, and see ya shortly! I hope you like COLORFUL zines cuz June is pride month, so...muahaha!
Response: You're very welcome. I enjoyed our chat about this and that, and appreciate the rating and heart!
Response: Oh, that's hilarious! I LOVE having bears, but i haven't seen any yet this year. I stay up nice and late. Maybe I'll "accidentally" leave something out for them that's not destroyable - just a little treat. On the ground. I'm looking at a wren right now eating from our feeder. Give fat bastard a high 5 from me! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: My responses are disappearing? Thanks for rating and heart! Atlanta - it was my 25th birthday, so 23 years ago! Geocaching - treasure hunt!
Response: Right!?!? Thanks for the rating and heart. I'm new to the B&W PC swap but I think I'll be joining in a lot in future.
Response: Thanks for rating!

Response: Thanks for the rating - glad you like it!
Response: That's so cool! For my dad, it's peacocks. It's nice to think of spring today, during our blizzard. haha! Thanks for the rating and the heart! And happy spring.
Response: That's awesome! I'm glad people outside the US know that we're not all - oh, I best stay out of politics. But yeah, Michelle is amazing, and thank you for the heart and rating!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and heart, glad you liked the card and hopefully the prompt!
Response: That's so cool that your son lives in MN. It's an awesome state! A little bit colder than AZ, though. Like is he all excited about the fun blizzard we got last night/today? haha! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you love Duran Duran! And jealous you got to see them in concert! Anyway, thanks so much for the heart and rating, and my USPS daily notification tells me your April zine is in my mailbox, but we had a surprise blizzard so it may be a few days before I get to see it - I know it's awesome, though. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad you enjoyed it! Always love to meet Ravenclaws! Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I'm so into making zines currently! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating! Glad you like it!
Response: I'm glad you liked my zine and note - thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and heart - I'm about to send out April and look forward to receiving yours, too!
Response: Oh, thank you so much! Yes, i was bummed about not being rated, more because I just knew you'd get a good kick out of it since I put everything possible from your profile into it. I'm SO HAPPY you were able to read it and see all that. Thanks so much for rating and a heart!! Nope, Melanie's not real, but I'll send your love anyway haha. And yes, i do write as my career. Well, blog posts, but I try to make them fun, and then I write fiction as a hobby. This is one of the most fun pieces I've ever written, though, because it was so -- I don't know, i just loved having the profile to work into it so it was very especially just for you to enjoy. Glad you did!!!
Response: Cute nickname story. I love that kind of thing! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad you like the MN card. Oh, well, you know, he's 28 now, so... haha! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: I'm so glad you reached out for this swap. I see we're at very different places, but can definitely be encouraging. Which reminds me, I should go make the one for April! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: You're so welcome! I felt like I could keep going for another 50. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks for rating. I like your ideas, as well!
Response: Thank you thank you thank you! As you know, I was SUPER nervous so I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart and rating!
Response: Oh, me, too! Even if you are a journal-throwing-away-heathen! haha! Thanks for the rating and heart, and I'll see you in the mailbox soon!
Response: Glad you liked it! Oh, I've never even taken pix of my collection. I'm very overweight, but I've been working out now that I moved and losing weight, so my plan is when I under-grow these, I'll have them made into quilts. There's a website that offers that. I probably have enough for a whole Doctor Who quilt alone! If I get around to taking pix, I'll send you a link. Now I kind of want to... Thanks for the heart and rating!
Response: Yeah, that was fun. I got annoyed at myself when I reached my questions. Like, really, Jen? Do you have to ask such involved questions? Haha! Thanks for the rating and heart, and I'm sending you a PM re digital stamps.
Response: A coloring book? That's interesting... Okay, that's weird. But something for everyone. Yeah, I would love to lounge in that bookstore or library! I received the same card from my partner and I'm glad cuz I LOVE it! But I don't keep blank PCs. I like my written and stamped and mailed and from not me. Let me know what you think of the book if you get around to it.
Response: The one I got was kittens. Both the happy and the postcard pic! Kisses is good, too. See ya next time, and thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: It was fun to make! I could have probably gone on to 100. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the rating and heart.
Response: Oh, yes, so true. And then they become so much MORE creepy with 11! And heartbreaking... but the original, Blink, is the best weeping angel one, definitely. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Right? I mean, about us having much in common. Boy, you could REALLY get to know me over gin and tonic haha! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad you liked them! I feel now like I should have sent you my "I'm Jennifer" zine. When I get you in a swap again, I will. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Oh, I had been waiting and waiting for a Harry Potter fan partner. I got them on Etsy as a digital file, and I printed out a number of sets. If you keep ATCoins anywhere in a binder or whatever, these are the same size, just not the same shape, so they can fit in the same binder or other method. Or whatever you choose. How did your daughter react? PM me if you get a chance, I'd love to hear. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: You're welcome! Thanks for the rating.
Response: You bet! I love making the tiny ones, but find the mail size ones generally more useful. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: You're welcome, I'm so glad you like them! And imagine your son does, too. I'm obsessive about the color green, so to make sure I"m Irish enough on St Pat's, I wear green, white, and orange. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: And now it has hit. This is my first year living in the country, and I've loved all the snow. I'm NOT loving all the slush. We have about a 1/4 mile driveway, and we have to park the car at the end and wear waterproof boots to walk out to the car, because the slush is over a foot deep and any attempt to get the front-wheel-drive car ends in being quite stuck! But still, it's exciting and thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: So glad you like it! I love love love St Pat's Day, both cuz of all the GREEN and the IRISH! Enjoy, and be sure to wear green on the 17th so nobody pinches you! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: Glad you liked it! Next one will be out in a couple of days, or possibly tomorrow. I see you're with us again, so yippee! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Yeah, as I get older I'm better at filtering, but still behind the curve! I'm so glad you enjoyed the PC - I just adore this swap! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Awesome! It's SOOOOOOO good!!! Thank you so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks, you too. Thank you for rating and happy St Patrick's Day! soon...
Response: Yeah, and they're going to be basically right outside my window. I suppose I'll get used to it. And become an early riser! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Right? Glad you like the letter and zines. Thanks for the rating and heart! And HAPPY ST PATTY'S MONTH!!! (you can't hold that much green just in one day...)
Response: You bet! And thank you for the rating and heart. Been seeing you around a lot lately and I'm glad!
Response: I'm so glad you like them! I had fun picking out images that matched your likes. Oooh, I hope you have cracked Becoming, it's just such a good book! Enjoy, and thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks, and thanks! I appreciate the discretion, the rating, and the heart.
Response: I'm so glad you like them! I did base them specifically on your profile likes, so glad they landed well. Happy reading, and thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Oh, I just love it. We're up to 8 again for March. Woot! Glad you're part of this adventure, and glad you liked my Feb zine. Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Oh, that was my favorite find the spunky old broad. I mean, I intend to be JUST that one day, so... Did you happen to catch the connection between the "random" SK fact and the upside down cover? All I'm saying is, someday I COULD be a famous author, so hang on to that baby! Thanks so much for the rating and heart! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Response: Awesome! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad I was able to provide you with a little snow for your winter! Believe me, we have PLENTY to spare (Minnesota). Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Me, too! Glad you liked the card, goodies, and especially my kids' names! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! Hope to "meet" you in another swap!
Response: Sadly, I don't. I cut the edges off. And until I FINALLY buy a paper trimmer next week, I cut them off by hand. Which is a weird thing about me - I love to cut things out as long as I have a good scissors. I had to start doing that, because I make them digitally, and I could NOT get the printer to print them the way I wanted to and I couldn't figure out how to format them to print right, so I just said, never mind, I'll just make it all even and cut off the edges so yeah. Thanks for the rating! I hope to see you in March, too!
Response: Heh hey hilariuos! But hey, thanks for checking and rating, I do appreciate it and the heart! Have a lovely weekend!
Response: Yeah, -20 and it actually got down to -34, not including wind chill, that week! But it's not a big problem cuz I work at home and have heat. And I learned young - layers! thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. Yeah, Ming definitely has the BDE (that's big DOG energy) that often comes with the little ones. I love her to bits despite her tiny size.
Response: I'm so glad! Thanks much for the rating and heart.
Response: You're very welcome, and see you in March! I have a question - did you like the simpler style I did for Feb better than the kind of cluttery January one? You can respond here or in PM - or not at all if you want haha! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: OMG melt melt Benedict's eyes, melt, swoon! Ahem. Dignity you grown-ass nearly 50-year old fan girl! That is an awesome trait, and one I share, I used to have these two shirts, both turquoise, but one bluer and one greener. I'd stand in front of the mirror holding one up to my body then the other, and watch my eyes change from blue to green. I was much younger, and they have settled into mostly blue, but certain things I wear, not necessarily green things, bring out the green in them. I've never heard them called cat eyes, but awesome! Haha, yes, my daughter told me in our last townhouse, "I can't wait to move out. I'm sick of living in a lime!" Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! I bet people just SWOOON over your eyes!
PS - I put a pretty on your profile
Response: Thank you, my friend, and for the Valentine's Day card! So cute! You really love Garfield, huh? Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: You've very welcome! Sounds like I made you smile, so that was my goal. Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked them! You know, that was my first one, the swirly one with the arrow. I'll send better ones once I get more practice. Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Hmm, why do I feel I already responded to this? Did we send messages? Anyway, thank you very much for your rating, and the heart. I've been thinking I might tackle Moby Dick because I keep hearing good stuff about it. So many books, such a short life... *sigh*
Response: Shhhhh, nobody will EVER know. Honestly, I have downloaded that book, but not read it yet, but it was on my partner's list and she had recommended that book, so I figured she must know! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yay, I'm glad the re-send made it! Thanks so much for the rating and heart. February will be on the way out tomorrow!
Response: Thanks for the rating and heart, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Response: The one I used? I have hundreds. Maybe I'll send you one. Thanks for the rating and the heart, and as always, it was a joy!
Response: Yeah, it had us very worried! Thanks so much for the rating!
Response: Yeah, he was feeling SUPER guilty. Plus, he has tons of money. It was nice. She actually uses the typewriter, so that is really cool. She prefers it. My kid is equally up-to-date on all the latest weird slang and trends, and an old soul. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, that's a good one! I just adore this swap and hope it never ever ends. I think if happymom ever had to give it up for some reason, I'd keep it going. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're very welcome, It has the honor of being my last ATC for awhile, as I have burned myself out, but I wanted to make sure I didn't let that affect the amount of love and effort I put into it negatively. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I could have gone on forever. I look up random facts on a regular basis when I'm bored, because you learn the most awesome things! I'll tell you the funniest fact I got from my partner when I write soon. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yes, re-reading a well loved book is something I like to do. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Yes, I have made the decision - no more making myself read stuff I don't like even if it IS so-called "the great American novel." Which I really don't know why this one was. Gatsby was much more fun! Thanks for the rating and the heart, see ya next time.
Response: Yeah, it was--from now on, no forcing myself to read books I don't like. I've decided not to try and read "If on a Winter's Night a Traveler" again anytime soon, either. I'm greatly enjoying Doctor Who, though. I skipped Dr 12 so these are all new to me, fun. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! And I actually love that it ended up with an extra layer, and that you were clever enough to check in a mirror. I look forward to your reply whenever you can, and in the meantime, thanks for the rating and heart. And thanks for this fun swap!
Response: Yeah, I'm off to a good start for February. Enjoying what I'm reading helps a lot! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Oh, that's so funny! I love that set. It would've been funny if it had been the same one haha! I actually was digging and digging, and then I was like, oh, yeah, I have those door ones. DUR! Glad you like it! This is such a fun swap. Thanks for the rating and heart, as well!
Response: Yeah, I like getting all the different ones. I'm so excited there's 8 for Feb! Glad you liked mine, too, and see ya in a week or so with new fun holidays! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: I was really hoping you'd like the coins, and I'm also glad you liked the zines! You know I just can't thank you enough for being so fabulous with me! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for rating - I hope I meet them all!
Response: Oh, hadn't thought of that. Lame. Lazy people. :D Not me, I love the name Julia! Glad you like the postcard! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I should send one to those guys... They would totally agree they are peculiar. I can't wait to see what you come up with in February! And yeah, I don't like that stamp, but had to get some and the PO only had those, so I'm going to use them all for this swap haha! Thanks for noticing, for the rating and heart, and see you next month!
Response: One thing I love about zines is that they can be made so many different ways. I used to do a lot of digital scrapping, so I have brought that over to making zines. But I have b&w ones that I have loved receiving. It's such a fun little way to express yourself. Thank you for the kind words - I actually don't print them. I have them done at a local print shop on a color laser printer. Cheaper than the ink it would take to print otherwise! Thanks so much for the rating and heart, and I cannot WAIT to see your b&w one, as well!
Response: Haha, glad you appreciate my humor! Not everybody does. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, I'm so glad! I didn't notice coffee on your profile, but this card was near the top of the pile, and seemed nice and obvious. I do think it's a very good looking pic, so I'm glad you like it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! Hope to "see" you around this swaps &/or others.
Response: Excellent! I can't believe how quickly that got to you! I just received mail sent on Dec 27 from my own country the other day - weird. But I'm happy you liked my letter, and I look forward to hearing about your life and adventures! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked everything! (I'll just assume you did haha) I haven't been sending a lot of extras, but like I said, I saw you liked postalettes, and suddenly I was grabbing up sorts of things to stuff in there! Thanks for the rating and the heart, and hope to "see you around" some more!
Response: Excellent! I look forward to hearing from you, and thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Awesome! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks, and you, as well. Thank you for the rating!
Response: This was very fun - thanks for proposing this. We had a great little group and I'm very happy! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I had fun making it. One hard thing about this color swap is that most of my stuff is green! So finding enough of other colors is a (super fun) challenge. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: No worries. I know how hectic life can get! Glad you liked it, I picked that out specifically for you! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Happy to be helpful! Thanks for the rating. I'm sure I'll "see" you around the scattergories swap again! Happy 2019!
Response: Yeah, I liked yours, too! These kinds of things are fun to do. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart, and be on the lookout for "Part 2" in about a week or so. You're the best!
Response: The [Crazy Horse](https://crazyhorsememorial.org/) one wasn't there when I was a kid, so maybe it's better I visit now. Thanks for the good wishes and the rating. I wish you a fabulous 2019, as well!
Response: Yeah, and the Dexter show and books are so different after awhile. I like them both, but I think I like the book's ending better. For a reason I can tell you not here cuz it's a spoiler. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: It was such a fun swap to do! Thanks for the rating and the heart! I enjoyed your list, as well.
Response: I'm glad you like it! I had great fun writing it. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yeah, and I definitely got some good suggestions from your list. Turns out I did read the first one in the series you mentioned by Dugoni, so I'll have to continue with that. This was an awesomely fun swap! Thanks so much for doing it, and thank you for the rating and heart.
Response: Yep, got that just for you. It will only ever be used for you! I agree with your email, but I'll tell you that on a reply email. Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Yeah. I couldn't find anything premade, and even the make-it-yourself ones didn't work out the format I wanted - either too little or too much space. So I just printed these on regular paper and glue them on. I hope you also had a great Christmas, and that 2019 is the best year yet! Thanks so much for the rating.
Response: Yeah, I had to specifically not picture them as spiders like we have. And it was supremely fascinating from a biological and speculative point of view. I think it takes so much imagination to make up sentient beings that are so totally different from anything we experience. Thanks so much for the heart and rating!
Response: Thanks, and all the best to you, as well. I look forward to swapping with you all year long. Thanks so much for the heart and the rating. I'd be interested to hear what you thought of it as a non-American.
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I had fun making it. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thanks for rating and for the heart! Wow, that was awhile ago. I had things collect on me when i was moving, too, that my mom eventually gave me, so I know how it can happen. Have a fabulous 2019!
Response: Hehe, oh, I have a little secret about that. I'll tell you in PM if you like. But thank you for the kind words. Thank you for the rating and the heart, and I wish you a safe and happy New Year, and a most fabulous 2019!
Response: And you, as well. Thanks for the rating.

Response: Thanks for the rating and heart! Can't wait to see what you guys have done with my little book!
Response: Aw, you're so welcome! Thanks much for the rating and heart, and may your 2019 be the best year ever (until the next one)!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I can't remember if I put in the note, I thought about rebelling and doing a summer one, but I'm just all excited about winter. Especially now we are in the middle of a beautiful white blizzard! Anyway, thanks so much for the kind comments, the rating, and the heart. May your 2019 be the best year yet!
Response: I'm so glad! I didn't even know you love Santa, so you know, that's just me being accidentally psychic! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! I look forward to swapping more with you in the future. Happy New Year!
Response: Aww, thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah, I love that card, as I mentioned in the note why. I'm so happy you like it, too! Thanks so much for the rating, heart, and warm wishes, and I wish you all the same!
Response: I hope you had a great Christmas, too, and that 2019 is the BEST so far! I'm excited to receive your letter, and so glad you're able to use the digital stamps. Exciting, the pencils! Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: I'm so glad you like it! My printing secret is, I use a color laser printer. It prints on top of the paper within being absorbed, therefore the shinier, sharper color. Thanks so much for the rating and heart, and have a fabulous holiday season and winter!
Response: No problem. I'm glad you like it! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad you liked it. That's so cool that you read seasonal books. Have a great Christmas and thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: Thank you! I love doing them digitally. I appreciate the rating and heart! And this awesome swap!
Response: They really were! Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: Yeah, I have them all in order together in an album, and it's very fun. I hope she starts again! Have a great holiday season yourself! Thanks for rating and thanks for the heart.
Response: Aw, thanks! The style is called retiform. If you look it up in Pinterest, there's quite a bit. Very fun. Doesn't work as well on an ATC, so I was happy to have postcards to do it on. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you like them! Thanks so much for rating! Happy sparkly winter!
Response: Well, with the crazy weather stuff that's happening, you might end up with more snow than we do in Minnesota this year. Haha! I love fall swaps, too, because it all goes away soooo fast! Thanks very much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad you like them! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks, that's exactly what I do. People call me "the most positive happy person" they've ever met. It's half just the way I am, and half intentional obliviousness! Thanks much for the rating and heart!
Response: Have a lovely Christmas, too, and I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! I love birds so much, and had a good time making it. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I had great fun making that one - thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you like it! I'll PM you about the pocket letter - it's definitely a go. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, absolutely. When going through the vampire chronicles, I stopped before Merrick to get caught up on the witches, then went forward with the combined stuff. I love when fictional worlds collide like that! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so happy you liked it,and the giraffes. It was fun to make. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!

Response: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Awesome! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yeah, she's awesome. Did I mention her name is Zelda? It fits her well. You MUST get thee to a hayride one of these days! So fun! IF you're not allergic. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! If you are interested in writing back, I'd love to hear from you. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll "see" you in another swap soon.

Response: Thanks for the compliment! I had fun with that one. I hope you will be able to find the pens, they are so cool. I loved being able to do a whole theme! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: I'm glad you liked it! I put the photo of that turkey I sent you up on my screen during Thanksgiving at my house, so all the people named on it could see themselves and the other things I'm thankful for. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks! I find this swap to be so much fun. Thank you for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and heart, and for sending me your copy of answers. I loved reading it! I feel like electronic swaps, everyone should just send to everyone, as it doesn't mean any extra work or cost any money.
Response: Aww, thanks! You, too. I appreciate the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it all! You didn't answer, tho - have you read it yet? Oh, you'll answer in the letter. Anyway, I enjoy writing back and forth with you a ton and look forward to receiving your next letter. Cheers and thanks so much for the heart and rating!

Response: No worries. I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to this. Yes, all the above are fulfilled and then some, and it's a very satisfying series! Let me know how you like it once you've read it! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I would love to hear from you. That took a LONG time to get to you, so hopefully worth the wait! thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You bet, and thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: I'm glad to point out a book you didn't know, even if it's not your style. Maybe one day you will run into someone who says, man, I love The Stand and The Walking Dead. What book should I read? Now you have an answer! haha! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, I'm glad. I have been loving writing these letters! Though you may notice much more detail on the earlier categories than the later. I might take a couple days to write the next one and give them all equal billing! Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the letter and the letter set, and thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I would absolutely love to hear back from you! But no pressure. Glad you enjoyed the read, and thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yep, the green will always give me away! I LOVE Doctor Who and am loving the new Doctor and 10 is the best, but I really really love 13!! Thanks for the rating and the heart!

Response: Glad you got the cards. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Aww, thanks for the heart!
Response: Oh, you just made me smile so big! Just wait until you get my next one - whenever that is. I'm going to start doing a little more envelope art to make it even more fun for my partners to see an envelope from me. But yes, that is an interesting process, and I love it. I'm SO glad you like the card, because I really do, too. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Wow, that worked out perfectly. I wasn't even aware, to be honest, which is bad bad me, because I should read your profile every time, but I've sent you stuff, and didn't think of it. You remind me, actually, to do this each time. But anyway, I'm SO GLAD you like it!! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're so welcome. I've just started with watercolors, too. I love how forgiving they are, and I'm so glad you liked my card! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you liked it, and glad you thought it was strange! I like that weird stuff. I have an odd sense of humor! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. Though stenciled is more accurate haha! Lettering is one of those things I'm just BAD at but that's why stencils exist, right? Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yeah thatโs my sense of humor. Like I had an all black cat named Snowball and a bearded dragon named Fluffy. I looked up the pic I took before I sent it and I did put the name of the swap on it but the post office puts so much stuff on postcards maybe they covered it up? I wrote it alongside the line separating the two sides. I thought it would be safe there! Anyway thanks so much for the rating and the โค๏ธ!
Response: Oh, yes, I keep meaning to sign up for that. But now I probably can't because I have moved to the boonies where internet speed is 1.5 MBPS. Yes. One. Point. Five. On the plus side, the next neighbor down has no internet unless they get satelite. I'm glad you liked the cards, I had fun putting them together! Thanks much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: It was an excellent swap to do, and something I don't generally think about, but yet have a lot of thoughts about. Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: You're welcome, and thank you for the rating and the heart!
Response: I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks for the five and heart, I really appreciate it.
Response: Thanks for the rating and heart. I hope it didn't take this long for the PC to get there!
Response: I actually totally appreciate that. I mean, I put a lot of effort into writing that stuff, so I am happy that you take the time to read it! It makes for a nice connection, and if you're looking for a penpal, feel free to write back. If not, that's cool, too, I'll see you around other saps hopefully! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: I was hoping you would like that! My stash is getting very low, but I was happily able to find things that I believed you would like, in addition to the cute scarecrow card. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you did. It was fun to answer the questions. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thank you for the great rating and heart! I had fun doing this swap, as I always like writing prompts.
Response: I'm glad you liked it! The first one I ever did like that. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: It took me many, many days to fill it out. I had to dig deep, and learned a lot about myself. I hope yours will benefit you the same way! Thanks for the rating!
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the doodle and the jokes! I love finding what my daughter calls "dad jokes" and sending them on postcards and with swaps, so when I saw your profile, i knew what I had to do. Thanks so much for the rating and the star!
Response: Oh, I'm so glad you like the paper doily. I got a pack of I think 75 or 100 of them, and could never use them all, so I'm hoping others can also put them to good use! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and I had fun picking some goodies to send, too! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thanks for the rating!
Response: I'm glad you liked it, and the extras! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and heart! I'm glad you liked it all.
Response: As always...long letter on the way to you!
Response: Seriously!!!!???? They put ON THE ENVELOPE how much postage it needed, and I put that on it. Rude!!! I'm so sorry about that, and hope at least that you liked the card. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Thanks! It was my second flipbook, but still had not seen one in person, and actually I think I could have done much better. But that's the learning curve, eh? Anyway, glad you liked the jokes, and thank you for the rating!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: [You can find them here](https://www.amazon.com/American-Crafts-Keepers-Instagram-Sleeves/dp/B011I9QDMA/ref=pd_sim_201_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B011I9QDMA&pd_rd_r=013dc78c-ccdb-11e8-a1fa-3b320cf86cd1&pd_rd_w=WmbZm&pd_rd_wg=ZRYeK&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=18bb0b78-4200-49b9-ac91-f141d61a1780&pf_rd_r=SQARSQGV9MHK4TWVR696&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=SQARSQGV9MHK4TWVR696)
I hope that worked as a link, but either way, that's where you can get the inserts. Then Amazon should also show you the little albums that go with it. ALSO I'm so glad you liked the twinchies!!! It was very last second when I finally got inspired, and then I was very happy with them, so glad you are, too. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: I had fun finding the quote for that! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: I know, I ordered those on ebay and didn't realize how SUPER tiny they would be!!! I'm glad you like the first pocket letter I ever made! Thanks so much for the heart and the rating.
Response: Absolutely true. Glad you liked it and thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: Thanks so much. I'm so glad you liked it. That means a ton coming from you!!! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: My friend said the card was scary. hahahaah! It was SO HARD deciding what to put in there! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're so welcome. Thanks so much (I think "so" is my word of the day) for the rating and the heart!
Response: Definitely worth the trip! I'd also love to see Japan one day. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked them! I used your profile to decide the theme, if you noticed by the names of the cards. Thank you so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: So basically like my autumn. I'm glad you have it, it's so beautiful. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad you like it. I thought it was especially pretty. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're very welcome, and I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad to have given you a smile. I never know what to write on postcards, so I've started thinking everyone loves a joke! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I really liked that card and was happy to send. Thanks so much for the five and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating!
Response: You bet! I find those are fun to use for a variety of things. I had fun doing the coins. Seems like a good gift tag idea. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you liked them. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're welcome! I love birds, so this was fun to do. Thanks so much for the rating!
Response: I wrote an awful lot! Hope you find at least most of it interesting. Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: So I used acrylic paint. 3 colors on each, dotted on in a number of spots, and then just used a stiff brush to mix it all up. Had to be more careful with the one with orange, because mixing made mud. Sad hedgehog cuz drawn so very very poorly! I'm not a natural artist at all haha! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thank you! I was really happy how it turned out also, and glad the scent was not a problem. Um, or if so, don't scratch and smell the strawberries haha! Thanks so much for the five and the heart!
Response: Yeah, I was wondering when or how that hits you there. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks! I had fun making them. Thank you so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thank you for saying so. I still feel like the idea in my head was better, but I'm glad you could see what I was going for! Thanks so much for the five and the heart!
Response: Good response! Thanks so much for the five and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you like it! Thanks so much for the five and the heart. I knew we had been partners before!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I put a lot of effort into it. My hole punches have that bendy thing about them, so I actually cut out each individual grape by hand - 10, 8, and 6 mm. It's kind of like meditation for me to cut stuff out, so it was great fun. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Well, I did think, it would be a waste to use a stamp on one napkin, which is why I put in extras and some other stuff, I think, too. I'd rather do MORE than required than less than required any day. Glad you enjoy, and thanks for the rating and the heart! Those are cool napkins, right? I got them at Hobby Lobby on clearance. I think they were in a Mexican aisle.
Response: You're very welcome! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thanks for the rating and heart. I loved making the flipbook! It was my first one, as you could probably tell, and I really hope you liked the duck! haha!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and heart. I look forward to hearing from you and becoming pen pals!
Response: Thank you so much for the rating and the heart. I'm glad you liked that sticker, I think it's super cool too.
Response: Can I tell you a secret? Don't tell anybody, shhh. I literally didn't have enough autumn looking stuff and NO school stuff, so I decided to go to Paris for September! haha! But I'm glad you like it, and if I had the chance to go there in September, I sure would. Or you know, any month at all. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: I'm glad you like it. I'm never sure whether to go to the edges or not. I like it, but then I get one that doesn't, and I like that, too! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thank you! I fell in love with the frogs the moment I saw them! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: I was so excited to find the right person for that stuff that I had! I'm so happy you love it, and thank you so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: Awesome. I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with! Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You're very welcome. I was happy with how they came out. I did watch a tutorial and use a template. thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Yeah, it was a crazy time, but I was able to get them out and I loved making them so much! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks. And totally legit if you are my daughter. It seems she has that excuse pretty frequently...suspicious. haha! But people don't ask her about it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so happy to know that, because I saw those frogs, and the card was made in that instant. Also with acrylic paint. I'm so glad you liked it, and thanks for the rating and the heart. That was my first APC, you know. Not first ATC, but first on a playing card. I'm addicted. I gotta have a deck!
Response: Thanks! No worries at all. I appreciate the rating and the heart.
Response: You bet. Thanks for the rating and the heart. I'm sending you a message momentarily!
Response: Haha! Yeah, clever. Orrrrr.... I couldn't think of a single K thing I really wanted. Hehe. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thank you for rating.
Response: Thanks for your patience. My goodness. Six days is a long time. Though if I came on the plane, I might wait until February... haha! Thanks so much for the rating and for sticking in there with me. You're the best!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating. I had such fun making that, and my mom and daughter just LOVED it! So I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thank you for rating.
Response: I'm so glad you do! thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, wow! Thanks so much!! I told my mom and daughter (with whom I live) that they were not nearly excited enough about my kiwi, and so your comment is SOOOOO appreciated!!!! Thanks SO MUCH for the kind words, and the rating and heart!!!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. I was nervous sending out my strong and not always popular opinions!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. Yes, he is a wonderful author. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. If only I had the kind of paintbrush that could turn EVERYTHING green!
Response: Thanks, I'm glad you like them. I appreciate the rating and the heart!
Response: Thank you for the rating and heart! I was excited how that came out myself. The little Chinese word I wrote, according to Google Translate, does mean good fortune, btw. It's something I wouldn't have thought of but for a stamped image swap, so I love how SwapBot can give me options outside what I would normally pick.
Response: Oh, goodness, I'm glad you like it, and again, so sorry to dash it off like that. It's like a compulsion. It's not like I was missing the due date, but I just had to post it NOW once I was done. Turned out she only had an ear infection. Well, "only" sort of downplays how awful, but compared to having to have her tooth/teeth yanked out, the solution was much easier. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Oh, also, I just showed my granddaughter a photo of that card I made you today, and she demanded I make her one just like it. Haha!
Response: I'm glad. I'm trying to get a better collection of cards together, but it takes awhile as I'm not a big traveler or anything. So in the meantime, I'm happy when people actually like receiving them. Or the space box. Got that, too, haah! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, I would LOVE to be penpals! I thought that when I was reading your profile. I'm glad you liked my dad's silliest joke. Did I mention that I told it at his eulogy? I look forward to hearing from you, and in the meantime, thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, I've been looking forward to sending you a yellow envelope ever since I noticed that AFTER I sent out your envelope last time. You'll never get any other color envelope from me, so if you get sick of them, be sure to let me know haha! I'm glad you like the lucky coin. My Irish just comes out once in awhile! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad it made it. Thanks for the rating!
Response: Glad it made it there. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad it made it there. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Glad you liked it. Moving was AWFUL but it's over now so, like childbirth, it seems much better now. I'm finding that I will be much more organized with a small room! Bonus! It's an excellent recording (Hamilton). Anyway, thanks so much for the rating and have a lovely weekend! (and you know, all the other days, too)
Response: Yes, as am I. Thank you for the rating and heart!
Response: You're very welcome! I'm glad you could appreciate it. Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: OMG that is HILARIOUS! So do you find yourself plugging the shop every chance? I just love it. Also I'd love to see a photo of your version, if you want to send, my email is my username and it's on gmail. Thank you for the heart and the rating!
Response: I'm glad you liked it, both. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're very welcome. Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You bet. Thanks for the rating!
Response: Oh, glad you like the dog! And the colors. That is the FASTEST I've ever seen something get somewhere. Must be cuz we're basically in the same neighborhood. Though if we lived in Europe, we'd be in different countries. Anyway, thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart! Glad it made it.
Response: Yeah, that's me. Hmm...I generally write the swap name on the top of the card. I do worry that all those postal marks will cover it, but also recently moved and I haven't taken pictures of all the postcards I sent, so things were a bit hectic for a few days there. Normally I take a photo of EVERYTHING I send, but I haven't taken photos of 2 PC swaps that happened right on the few days of my move. However, I do remember saying those things, so it must have been me. Sorry I am a stickler about that, cuz I HATE getting a swap that I have to try and figure out. Thanks for the rating!
Response: Thanks. I can't remember if I wrote about why peacocks, but they are a very special reminder of my dad who died 3 years ago. I got one that's over a year old, so I love the thought of mine traveling around that long! Tahnks for the rating and heart.
Response: You're so welcome! I hope you are having a nice day today, and ... well, okay. I ALWAYS hope you have either A) nice days or B) enough love & support on the ones that are not quite as good. Take care, and thank you for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thanks for the rating and heart. And understanding. I promise I will send you something very prickly and irreverent next time! Let me know if you read those, if you like the books by Amitav Ghosh (they gotta get all 3...it's a trilogy!). Cheers!
Response: Yeah, whoa. And I have so many things, and all little, and oh, it was a mess. I'm starting to get a handle on it. Anyway, thanks so much for the rating and the heart! Have an awesome day.
Response: Thank YOU for the rating! I'm loving getting to know people thru this swap.
Response: You bet! Thanks for not being offended. And the compliment on the painting installation. And thanks for the rating and heart!! ๐๐๐๐๐
Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: You bet. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, I'm so glad it got there. I think I've caught track of all of them now! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, I've been making so many of those windows for different swaps. I'm glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!
Response: I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: You know me. Green = Jennifer! Thanks for the rating and the heart - you are totally awesome!
Response: Thanks for the rating. Yeah, not a show for everyone, but it's fun to have someone to bond with over it. Thanks for the rating!
Response: Hi, you again! Thanks again for the ratings and hearts, and I'm glad you saw the humor, too. I get pretty excited when I get the chance to be funny! It was great fun doing the colors, and I hope more are coming. Cheers!
Response: I'm so glad you liked them. Yeah, those are perfect words for a friend leaving work. Thank you so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, wow, that got there nice and quickly! I look forward to hearing back from you. Yeah, weren't those stickers fun? As I'm writing this I can't remember your age, but if you are anywhere near my age (47) you might remember those nostalgically. Anyway, thanks so much for the rating and the heart, and I can't wait to hear from ya! Well, I can wait, but I look forward to it.
Response: Iโm so glad it finally arrived! Thanks for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thanks for rating!
Response: I knew youโd love them. If weโre ever in a swap where you send me handmade art, Iโd love to see something you made with them. Oh, no, I donโt mean I sent them conditionally like that! Just enjoy, and thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, thank you so much. And for indulging my need for acknowledgement of the cutting thing! I'm so glad you love the circus and that I asked so I was able to give you what you really liked. I feel excellent warm fuzzies! Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: So true. Thanks so much for the rating!
Response: Awesome. So I am not THAT into Geocaching. I would be if money, time, and health allowed. It's an excellent thing to do! Thanks so much for the rating and heart!!!
Response: I'm so glad you got them and hope they will be of great use to you! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I was hoping you'd like that. I had such fun with it when I realized who I was sending to! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart. Yeah, I get a little rush each time something of mine is up on that intro page. Have a lovely day!
Response: Thanks for the rating! I knew you'd get the connection. Thanks also for the heart.
Response: Thank you for the rating. I hope you enjoy it!
Response: Thank you for rating.
Response: Thanks for the rating, and the heart. To know me is to know that if it can be green, it WILL be green!
Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: Glad you liked it - yeah, the bird was a fave of mine, for sure. Once you get around to them, the shows, let me know what you think. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks so much. Totally send me yours! I mean, if you want. I would love it! And thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: Sorry, I missed responding to this. Yeah, I had a great time cutting, and also love sharing the few good stamps I have. It's a way to share out my good stamps with others, and get some of their good stamps. Because we can't afford them all! I'm glad you liked them.
Response: You're entirely welcome! Yeah, I got extra tiny scissors and even used a craft blade (x-acto type knife) to get them perfect as possible. I loved it. I loved sharing my good stuff with you, and then I got some good stamps from others. Best alternative to just owning ALL THE STAMPS (which I'm not opposed to, but my need for food and shelter are). Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thank you for the kind offer, and I may very well take you up on it! Thanks for the rating and the heart, too.
Response: Yeah, I try so hard to get things done early, but then sometimes it backfires. I was actually about to just toss it and start over, when I thought - hmm, pink plus yellow = orange. That's sunny! Glad you got it and glad you liked it. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Grandkids - the best! I think art is always messy. I see somebody's art room or space and it's immaculate, and I think - how? Either they're not arting enough or they are a different species than me. Haha! Anyway, glad you liked it, and thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, gosh I'm so happy! I thought and re-thought the ribbon part over and over and wasn't sure it was a good idea in the end. So to have you specifically mention them, I feel so glad. Yeah, it's always nice to have a pre-cut. I'm considering getting the dies to go with the crazies, but I have found a certain zen in cutting out shapes, so I'll save the money! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Your children thank you! But sometimes it becomes a thing. My daughter-in-law's family has all J names, so my granddaughter was named Jraya. It just sounds like Drea, but it's spelled Jraya. I thought Jennifer would be a good name for her, but ah, well. It's funny about frogs - my fave color in the world by A LOT is green, but I want blue frogs. Not enough to get them, but as a velleity. My daughter was nicknamed Pooh cuz that was the first thing that made her laugh was a musical Pooh. She is now a musician. Anyway, what I came to say is thank you so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. I'm glad you liked the coin and hope you can make something out of the bright backgrounds!
Response: You're so welcome! After I read your rating (thank you so much for the heart and the rating!!) I went on YouTube and listened to some Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam. I forgot how Lost in Emotion was one of my favorite '80s songs! So I listened to that about 20 times, and a couple others.
Response: You're very welcome. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Awesome - I'd love a letter back! Did you read my profile? So much in common. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! Yes, that is a very good attitude to the past. After all, there was no internet! Haha!
Response: I just found dark stuff in my stash so next time I get you - but I'm very glad you like what I sent! This was such a fun swap, and thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad you liked stuff! I did sign up for an ATC Jams group, so I will be starting that shortly. Or when someone sends me one. I'm living in one town now, moving to another in 9 days, so I will get to it after that. I look forward to the ATC jams - it seems like such a neat thing to do. And also I sometimes feel sad because I never keep any ATCs I make (though I am duplicating one that I really love one of these days to keep) so this is a way to get to keep something I made, WHILE also swapping! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Definitely. These stuff the mailboxes - I'll be joining ALL of them now that I have a big ol' stash. I have this quality about me that made it so fun to get together 20 envelopes, put the stamps and my return address label on them, collect 20 or 40 or 60 of a bunch of different stuff, and have them all ready to go and label, and basically this was just so fun. I'd love doing this even if I didn't get stuff back, but can't wait to see what I get back! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. This was such a fun swap. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: So glad you liked it. I'm mad for green, and feel the same kind of rush when I meet someone else who is that I feel when I meet a fellow Whovian or Sherlock fan or Trekkie or... you know, like that! Green is my #1 fandom! Thank you so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! I was flipping through postcards, and that one jumped out to m e as really matching the rest with the different shades of green and almost teal. Green is a great obsession of mine, so I loved doing this. Do you ever find it hard to send cards you make? Also, I just ordered a set of notecards that come in yellow envelopes and of course I thought of you! You might be getting a random yellow envelope one of these days. :D Oh, and thank you for the rating and heart!
Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Glad I didn't put spoilers in then! I'm so glad you liked it! I had such fun putting it together and only felt sad that I didn't have a green envelope in that size. Yeah, I'm finding that I like to stamp images, then use watercolors or colored pencils and then use them like a die-cut on a card or other piece of art, so hopefully you will be able to use those. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, that is brilliant. Definitely do it! I'll be the first to sign up. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Oh, that means so much to me! I don't know if you read my profile, but I definitely relate to mental health struggles. I don't know how much of that I was able to put on a postcard, but it's a real struggle. Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: You're very welcome, and thank you very much for the rating and the heart. I have now fallen in love with these coins and want to only ever make them! Not really only, but they are really fun. I'm glad you like it!
Addition: After I wrote this, a day later I think, I found a swap for 20 ATCoins. Fun!!!
Response: You bet! And thank you for the rating and the heart.
Response: Oh, Lisey's Story is my favorite single book by Stephen King. And Watchers is BY FAR my fave Dean Koontz book! I still so badly want to find a dog who can talk to me!!! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! Yeah, King pumps them out. I'm glad, because he's getting up there, and I want as much of him as he can give before ... you know, he can't. I'm very selfish that way! Which Anne Rice book? Did you like it?
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and the compliment. I was so worried you wouldn't like it with it being not hand drawn. I am definitely going to send you a hand painted one when I get you again! But in the meantime, thanks for the rating and the heart and the kind words!
Response: I'm impressed you got one. I just never did. Though the card I received was really cool. The top layer was clear with a stamped image of a conch shell, and beneath it was watercolor painting, which looked very abstract on its own (but still pretty) and then colored in the top stamped layer when that was pulled down over it. Okay, now I have to give a name "goosey" cuz shout out. Thank you for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and the heart! Yes, he's dreamy. In real life, other than just the dead thing, I could never have hung around him with all the smoking, but boy he makes me happy when I watch him on TV. Let me tell you this weird thing and see what you think - Denzel Washington's mouth/way of talking reminds me of Humphrey Bogart. What do you think?
Response: Thanks so much for the rating and the heart. Just wait 'til you see what's coming now!
Response: Thanks for the rating and heart! Iโm glad it made it there.
Response: Awesome! Your recipients will be so glad.
Response: Wow, and even BEFORE you can remember! I think your King tastes run like my mom's. The Dark Tower series seems to be a love-it or hate-it kind of thing. But if I can make one suggestion - the one he added later, Wind Through the Keyhole, is very different from the others, so if you get the chance to read it, I suggest it. It only stays with the Gunslinger at the very beginning and end, and the story in the middle is AMAZING. I love the ones you mentioned. Thanks for the rating, and for the heart!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. Like I said, I had a hard time letting that go. I'm in the process of making a duplicate to keep. I realized after sending that those stamps were not the kind with the backing, but you could always put them on a backing. Enjoy! Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks! Yeah, I looked at it on a pic I loaded online on Pinterest, and thought, it looks all right. Just cuz it's easy doesn't mean it's bad. haha! Thanks so much for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating!
Response: It will eventually. But with my central air, I hardly care. Hope your weather cools down - I saw these posts about how hot it is down there, things like traffic barriers just melting. Insane! Stay cool! Thanks for the rating and the heart.
Response: Thanks for rating! Hope you enjoyed.
Response: Thanks for rating!
Response: Thanks for rating, and for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart!
Response: https://bit.ly/2zXNjkp
Very addicting.
Response: Yeah I had a hard time letting them go! I'll be making copies for myself. Glad you liked them!
Response: I would love that. Any time you write me, I'll definitely write back! Not knowing that it would go two ways, I didn't ask questions, and I got a chatty kathy letter today full of questions for me, in addition to stuff about the person, and I realized, I would love to make it a two-way street! I'd absolutely love to hear from you, learn more about you and what's going on in your life, and I will definitely respond near immediately when I receive any letters.
Response: Oh, weird. I don't keep track of my ratings like I should. I mean, i always notice when a new one comes in, cuz my email tells me, but if I'm missing ratings, I don't really know. So yay! Yeah, those things are cute!
Response: Thank you. I'm not one of those naturally talented at art, but a lot of pretty stuff can be made that makes me happy, at least.
Response: I would be so happy with a reply! And will definitely return it.
Response: Yeah, I spent the whole day yesterday reorganizing my Pinterest!! Glad you liked it.
Response: Thanks for the good rating!
Response: Thanks for the rating. I had so much fun with this. I wish there was s job like this haha!
Response: It was fun to do. Thanks for the rating!!
Response: Thanks for the rating and now you know my greatest obsession - green!! This was a yummy swap!
