Comment: Kristen - Welcome to Canadian Swappers! Yes definitively need to escape bad weather in Ottawa, especially in this season of "false spring". Great composition on your ATC. You really 'mixed it up'. Thank you also for all the extras especially the sunset postcard. Take care, Denise.
Comment: When I read your story, I had to check out your profile to see if it was based on "real life" and it sure was - which ocean was it? Do you paint? Thanks for signing up :)
Comment: Thank you for sharing. I'm glad you are enjoying the story. I take a long time to read a book, as reading puts me to sleep, no matter how interesting it is!
Comment: Always a pleasure to swap with a fellow Canadian!!
My Mom spent many years living in Prince George - Iโve never been, and my sister just recently visited for the first time. My turn now!!
My top fall thing to bake are Starbucks inspired pumpkin scones - my family and best friend are all addicted, Iโve already made 4 batches so far this fall!!
๐ Happy Halloween ๐
Comment: Thank you for the festive PC and your message. My BFF came over a few days ago so we could watch wwdits new episodes together. We blew through all 5 episodes and are ready for the final ones to come. ๐ฆ
Comment: Thank you for the fancy haunted house card! We don't really celebrate Halloween in The Netherlands, so I don't really have a favorite halloween candy. I really like Autodrop Caddilac winegums though!
Comment: Hello Kirsten, thank you for the postcards and the piece of scrapbook paper (and the stickers)! I've never seen a red sand beach, thank you for sharing!
Comment: Ive never known another person with a pit mixed with weenie LOL We had one along with his parents (Weenie was dad) but sadly he developed cancer. Your note reminded me of fond memories of him <3
Comment: Thank you for sharing! I have never heard of this writer before. The visual part is funny! I will keep these poems in mind and will look for them in a library or book store once I travel to UK or US.
Comment: Thank you so much for your gorgeous letter! I loved your little doodles - they're so cute! I really enjoyed how you linked spirituality and intention with crochet! Happy swapping โก
Comment: I received your card between snow storms, so it arrived without getting wet. I like hand-crafted cards better than "store-bought" cards, but there seems to be a strong bias by swap hosts against created cards. One of my prized cards is a crayon drawing from a little girl in Australia: a self-portrait of her standing between bookshelves in a library. She created it for me because I was a school librarian. It would not win a prize in an art show, but it wins one from me. Maybe we will swap again in the future. Where in Canada are you?
Comment: Thank you for the nice strawberry postcard. I love strawberries. Going to get some tomorrow. Right now I am painting with watercolor and acrylic and working on baby hats by crocheting them.
Comment: Hi!! Thank you so much for the lovely postcard <3 About the movies I've already watched "Your name" ( it was cute) and I'm looking forward to watch "Past lives" hehe.

Comment: What an amazing list of country tunes! Loved listening to all of them! Esp, Dolly's 9 to 5. Every time I hear that song, I think of the movie. Which is an awesome movie! Thanks so much for sharing.
Comment: I am in love with your ephemera sheet. What a great collection of bits. It is very much my style. I am so excited about these sheets. I am going to print them out and use them in my junk journals over the next few weeks.
Comment: Thank you for your lists! 'I Love It' started autoplaying in my head as soon as I saw it and continued for the remainder ๐ Incredible movie list (yay for Barbie and Everything Everywhere and Parasite and so many others!)
Comment: Thanks for this board. Loved seeing your pins...which I have the same serpentine curtain tieback on my board, too!
No current crochet projects, just finished up a spiderweb curtain set in the last couple weeks...taking a slight break, and occasionally crocheting some oak leaves. I go through boughts where I just don't wanna touch my hooks and thread/yarn.
Happy swapping and crocheting!!!
