Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely swap. I loved to read about your kitty <3 The three kitten on your card look so cute. I also had once a red-gold tabby and a grey tabby cat. The red also was named Leo. The vintage stamps you used on the envelope are gorgeous. I LOVE them and will be in a good use for future creative projects <3

Comment: Thank you, Lou, for this swap I received last July! As you know I've been away from SB almost a year and a half and therefore am very late in getting this rating to you. I actually JUST opened your envie. Can you believe I let it sit unopened for so long? I'm sure it's because I didn't want to open it until I was ready/able to rate immediately too. Anyway I loved the two little notecards in PINK and the two extra cards. And yes I did LOVE that bright pink notecard on which you wrote your note! 😍 Also thank you for the lovely variety of postage stamps you put on the envelope! I always love to see that. ❤️...

Comment: Hello Lou! What an awesome assortment of notecards! If I could rate more stars I definitely would. I love the hand cancelled stamps. I get tired of the ugly black mark the post office likes to put on vintage stamps. These are beautiful and perfect. Thank you for making my day!

Comment: Thank you! I so enjoy reading your letter. I did see the new Beetlejuice movie with my friends and we all enjoyed it. I also enjoy libraries though I tend to check out e-books nowadays which means I don't go to the actual library as much anymore. :( Thanks for the adorable cat notecard, vintage postage stamps and cat stickers. So much fun opening this! Happy swapping!

I love how you matted lall of the 1 cent Bobcat stamps on yellow cardstock! Plus the very cute black cat yellow note paper. You went all out with the yellow everywhere and all of your creative art work (handmade little yellow hearts 💛 on tan hearts on the back of the envelope). There's even more! I'll have to send another message to thank you for it all. Everything is in pristine condition. A perfect swap. 💛

Comment: So happy to get you as a partner! Yes I enjoyed all the PURPLE goodness. My favorite color is purple, along with pink! I loved the vintage stamps; however my son Billy loved them more and snatched the envelope from me. He collects stamps. Wouldn't it be great if postage was still 2 or 3 cents? I loved the kitty on the beach notecard. I will definitely use it. You definitely read my profile. I loved the cute mouse stickers. They will definitely be put to good use. Great swap! Happy Swapping! Thanks for hosting a great swap!

They made sure to get them all, but I do appreciate the fact they are not heavily marked with black ink. I agree with the black line through them. It seems Canadian stamps always arrive to me that way. So frustrating!

So spoiled but she started life very roughly, so we said we would give her the best life ever! I so appreciate you joining the postalette swaps, I wish we could get more folks interested in the DIY one - sigh! We had summer one day this week (in the 80's) and then the temps dipped back in the 30's, which just seemed so wrong and cold! LOL! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

He loves those stamps, thank you ;- } We used to drive up to Crane Lake, (turn right at Orr) and go into the Boundary Waters with the kids every summer, so we've been thru Minn/St.Paul a few times. We always stopped in Duluth for the night on the way north from Kansas City. Thank you for the lovely pics, I always like to see blossoming flowers, for the bees.

Yes, my hubby is still a mail carrier, although he is so ready to retire - just too young at this point and he needs to get his knees worked on!

I was very interested in almost everything;I’m still deciding if I like or am repulsed by the stuffed dog that was the USPS mascot! And you are correct about Jefferson’s library and the Library of Congress. After the original LoC burned, many of Jefferson’s books supplied the beginnings of the rebuilt collection. Interesting about Keith Ellison; I recall him using the Koran for the swearing in. I hope to visit a Norman Rockwell home (& small museum) when in the Berkshires in July. Cute stamp! Thanks again for hosting & for the delightful swap!

Thank you especially for the wonderful note you included; it gave me such a nice feeling to read your words! It HAS been a while since we swaps and I definitely am glad to be creating swaps again, although the health issues still plague me. I hope you get to go to the Van Gogh exhibit - what a great adventure that will be!!! And I'm glad that Spring weather has finally reached your area, and that you can enjoy Nature waking up from a long rest. Take care and thank you so much for an excellent Purple swap! 💜😁💜

When I receive mail from you, I always use the envelope in my journal - the outside stays as it is, since it's already amazing - and then I write my heart out on the inside part and attach it into my book. AND THAT WAS JUST THE OUTSIDE! You spoiled me as always with your highly personalized extras, and your letters are always so friendly and fun too. Also I had no idea what the difference between Fuji and Kodak printing was, so now I even feel like I learned something. Thanks again for another fantastical awesomazing swap Lou!

That will most likely find its way into a collage. Most of all, I appreciate the thoughtful notes you sent about the stamps and the poems. I will have to check out that movie about Longfellow--I am a retired English teacher and so have taught his poetry many times. I remember memorizing his poem about the "Village Smithy" when I was in grade school. I remember the first line, but not much else. That one is no longer in the textbooks, I guess! Happy Valentine's Day to you!

It’s only snowed once when I was a little girl. I start complaining about the cold when it’s in the 60’s. 😅 I did have good holidays. We didn’t do anything really but we are a laid back bunch so that’s the way we like it. I haven’t made any real goals, however, I do hope to build up my Twitch channel and stream more.

I’m heading to California next month though and there is a conservatory near where I will be staying so maybe I will get lucky and spot some! Wishing you the best this holiday season!! Take care:)

Comment: I absolutely loved everything that you sent. I don't think I mentioned it in my profile, but I love looking at pictures people take and the ones that you took were great. It was nice too that you explained the pictures. I was wondering what the yellow balls were. I've heard of prickly pears, but know nothing about them. I need to look them up. I liked the egret, but after reading what you said about it, I looked at the picture again,it added more depth to the picture. The 🦋 And the leaves are so pretty. I like the stickers as well. The stamp was nice too. I don't collect stamps as a hobby, but I do save the ones that catch my attention 😊. Last, but not least, thank you for the letter, I really enjoyed reading it. ♥️

Comment: Hi Lou! How wonderful to have you as my partner and I very much enjoyed your letter! The wildflowers sound awesome, I would love to see them! It is good you are happy with using your phone for taking photos and get great shoots! Not all phone cameras are created equal, sadly! I think mine does ok but I love the photos I get with my "real" camera! LOL! That is a bummer about the falls being dammed up for the very affluent and the it is affecting tourism - hopefully things will get worked out for everyone! I love the animal stickers as well! We went to Wilsterm Wilderness Park in IN and got to hang out with elephants and giraffe and were told that zebras are really dangerous - I never knew! We are traveling to Mexico in October and back to CO in November, so lots still going on! I love traveling, so I am good with it! LOL! Thanks for hosting such a fun swap, I really enjoyed it! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Comment: Hi Lou! Thanks for your newsy fun letter. I enjoyed reading it. What a great article. I am definitely one of those types who dislikes phones so embrace Facebook and email since I'm more of a writer and like writing my words more than speaking them. I do have one friend who phones me occasionally and we talk a long time, but she's the only one I do that with since she does most of the talking! My mom used to love the phone and could talk for hours on it. I even wrote a memoir piece about her after she died and how I wished I could talk to her again. She died when she was on the phone about to talk to me on November 16, 2015, so that was quite shocking, but at least she went quick and didn't suffer. I do miss her and my dad who died one year ago today. PS Thanks for all those cute animals stickers, too! Thanks for the swap. Cathy

Comment: Hi Lou! Thanks for the fun kitty swap items of the card, tape, stickers and stamps. I enjoyed reading your newsy card. Fun about your memory of your mom and Anne of Green Gables. Hope you can keep cool with the heat. PHEW! It's lovely and cool here now just how I like it. Yes, the news about the insurrection hearing is unbelievable. Totally insane. If Trump gets in again as president, the US is in big trouble. And he could the way everyone in the Republican Party seems to be as corrupt as he is all in Cahoots . So bizarre, all of it. I try not to read too much as it just makes me worry too much. We could do occasional swaps if you want. I'm busy writing a novel at the moment so can't take on any more long letter pen pals but occasional swaps are okay. Thanks for the Washi tape. I must admit I don't use it a lot but occasionally I will to seal an envelope or something. Take care and Happy Summer! Cathy

The stickers are so cute and I bought some sort of like them but each one says made in china - sigh! Why did they have to do that?? The "1968" exhibit looks awesome - I would love to see that! Yes, mail is slowing down - my hubby the mail carrier said they have been told to leave 1st and 2nd class mail there if it will make them go into overtime! He is shocked every time they tell them to do this, as he says, they have one thing to offer - service and it is so lacking!! Maybe as you mentioned, someone in the future will care more!

Thank you also for the glassine bags and lovely washi tapes! I’ve never thought of putting them on a small, plastic bag. Getting back to the stamps on the envelope...that made it stand out a lot when I got it out of the mail box! Talk about happy mail...and very cool mail! Where did you get those old stamps? Oh, I almost forgot the Jack-o-lantern stickers! They’re so cute and you were so generous with them! Thank you!

The photo from the zoo is my favorite. I love how you captured the reflection in the water at just the right angle. The flowers are stunning too. Thanks for another grate swap! Be well.

This waterfall was so much more than I pictured in my mind, when we talked about it in previous swaps, I pictured more of a meandering creek in a city park. This looks like a stunning spot! That rock ledge and the way the water rushes through all of the trees is absolutely gorgeous 🥰 Thank-you for sharing, I’m super glad I got to be your partner for this one to get to see it ☺️ And you’re absolutely right, these non profit and pre-sorted stamps are new to me! How neat to have these ❤️ Thank-you for the lovely letter, all of the stamps, the notecards and for hosting another awesome swap. Brightened my dreary rainy/snowy day ☺️

It's a "where's waldo" in a serene silhouette shot with vibrant blues and whites .. sweeet shot! Here's how I think about it.. we don't go to the State fair this year but maybe next year it will feel even that much more special because we skipped! Hoping you're well! xx Gabi

Thank you so much for the vintage cloud photo and the cool vintage photo envelope! how COOL of a find!!! I agree with you. Travel and being places where crowds are gathering is not my idea of being safe either. I am vaccinated and I am still leery. We won't be attending our State Fair either or our County 4H Fair.. it's just too risky and too crowded and wearing a mask outdoors is stifling in this heat and humidity. Hopefully things will calm down somewhat as the weather cools off and people are busy and back from summer activities and all... *sigh* I miss traveling too! a LOT! Hugs! G

The park sounds like an amazing place, I’m a sucker for waterfalls (just got home from a waterfall hiking adventure 10 mins ago even, maybe we need a waterfall SS swap, would be so hard for me to pick a photo though!!) I cannot believe all the amazing stamps you included with this swap, on the envelope and inside!! Such and awesome stamp rainbow to sort through! I really love the national parks block of four stamps on the envelope, and how your post office uses red ink instead of black to cancel stamps. Thank-you so much 🥰 And your hummingbird photo!! What a neat shot, it’s just hanging out patiently waiting to have its photo taken! The print looks so much like a painting. Thank-you for sharing all of the details around this photo with me 💕

Comment: What a bright happy envelope of happiness! Thank you for the beautiful flower photos, fabulous green washi and wonderful letter. Many years ago I visited the Como Zoo on a class field trip I think. It was long before I got into photography so no pictures from that trip, but I do have some from a visit to the Bachman's flower show. My favorite spot to shoot flowers there was always Munsinger Gardens in St. Cloud. I worked overnights in the area and would stop by the garden when I got off work early in the morning. It was so peaceful... the Mississippi flowing by... Sweet Minnesota memories! I'm loving these swaps, thank you so much for hosting. Oh! And the TN postage stamps - how cool! Thank you for a truly wonderful swap. It honestly made my day today. Happy swapping & be well.

Comment: Hello Lou ! Thank you so much for the 2 birds note card, with your so nice note and the 6 awesome washi samples! You're more than welcome, for my joining in this swap. I love these kind of swaps! Like where you live, it has been one heat wave after another. But also it's been one thunder storm after another as well and they've been very severe ones. Last week, we had one so bad, it knocked out the electric in the whole town of Canton, PA. and atop the mountain we live on. We were without electric for 2 1/2 days. Anyway, Sounds like your State fair will be fun and I'm sure it is. The Canton Fireman's fair was 2 weeks ago. But hubby & I didn't go. We haven't been to it in 10 yrs. Basically it's pretty boring. So, We go to the Chemung County fair in Horseheads, NY. It's about 54 minutes from here. But didn't go the last 2 yrs. due to Covid. So, it will be so wonderful to finally go again! Is so much fun at this fair! Well, I hope you & whoever you go with, to the State fair have a wonderful time!

We got to visit the Postal Museum several years ago in DC and loved it - hope you get to go soon! I am so hoping the new stain does not wind up closing everything down again - at least this time if it does, maybe folks will feel better prepared or not, sigh! Wishing you all the best and love the wonderful swaps you host! Hugs and Happy Swapping - p.s. Greta is awesome - she traveled with us last week and was a real trooper!

Comment: Thank you so very, very much for all of these treasures, Lou! I’m getting goosebumps going through all the vintage postage stamps - I’ve never seen the Francis Scott Key or Newspaperboys before - am definitely going to Google search that article you mentioned about “These Immortal Chaplains” & WOW! What a beautiful William M. Harnett stamp of painted musical instruments. You’re so right about these old stamps having so many beautiful details! They’re amazing. 🤩 Of course, I cherish the Boy Scouts stamps! They’re my favorite because the Scouts are all smiling at Lady Liberty and one’s saluting her. It takes me to another time, when a tiny bit of paper on mail meant so very much because it was the only means of communicating with loved ones from afar. Oh my goodness, and how can I fail to mention the “Women in Our Armed Forces” stamps!!! Amazing 😍 I am overjoyed! 😁 You made my millennium!

Comment: Your package arrived safely on Saturday. Wow what a nice surprise. First of all, I love the photo on the card. Beautiful! And the story that goes with it too, is interesting. I love the cards, the stamps, and especially the book. I will keep it for awhile and look through all of it. but then I would like to pass it on to my son out in California. He will love it and I know keep it forever. Thank you for being so generous. PS I love you photo swaps and join as many as I can!! Keep it up!!!

Comment: Lou - What a joyful day I had after receiving your swap. The envelope, covered in $.04 stamps. . . I just awed at that for awhile before opening it. and then. . . WOW! what a thoughtful and generous selection of butterfly themed items. . . The stamps, the Zoobook, even the card you wrote on was beautiful! The vintage stamps, seen through your eyes, were especially nice. and certainly $210 for 6 weeks of study (including expenses) truly money well spent. A similar program these days would easily be 50x that! Thank you so much for such a wonderful swap!!!

Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome letter! It is the best one I've received. I love it. I've reread it already. and thanks for the extras... excellent choices! I apologize for taking a bit of time to read and rate... there was a mess here! A deluge struck, and somehow my mail was delivered to my door and not the mailbox, all in a sodden stack. Everything was soaking wet and stuck together! And it's so humid here on the island that it took quite a while to safely dry everything out enough to open without damage. I didn't want to try oven-drying, because I didn't know what was in the envelopes! Whew! Who knew there could be such a problem with beautiful mail?! Anyway, thanks again! The e nvie and stamps and stickers and tape are just fine now. Probably did a good job protecting the letter!

Comment: WOW - I got shivers of excitement when I pulled your envelope from the mail box! I was admiring the tape on the back, but when I flipped it over, it almost sent me over the edge! OMG the NORTHERN LIGHTS STAMPS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I also love that you included the definitions. As I happily hopped back to our house like a little school girl checking out all the other stamps and barley containing a happy little scream, I couldn't hold that back any longer when I opened the envelope! First, I hope you got to see your mom and that she's doing well. I do understand the dread of the long drive trips, any time we go anywhere it is going to be a minimum of five hours. To go see our grand-daughters it's a seven hour trip and we do it on a weekend. But I also understand the flying as I just made a trip to Victoria by plane and it was a bit nerve wrecking to have a stranger sitting right beside you and nobody following any rules. Also didnt help a couple weeks prior they had announced that there were planes that landed in Victoria that had people with Covid on them. Anyway, made it there and back safely and doing fine. I'm starting to write a novel and I'm very capable of doing that because of ALL of the wonderful stamps and cards - can't wait to send one of those cards to my grandma, she'll love it. Know that you've succeeded on pasting a smile on my face and I loved reading your letter - I haven't hippity-hopped for years, I've been doing it since I picked up my mail because of you. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄😄😄😄

The photo of the flowers was very nice and I had to laugh about the monkey in the banana display!! And I really appreciated the letter you included; I agree with you that we tend to take good health for granted until we don't have it anymore. And insurance can be so ridiculous. I hope things are settling down where you live. This entire year has been total insanity, hasn't it? Maybe we're getting all the bad/crazy stuff out of the way the first half of the year so that the REST of the year can be smooth sailing. We can hope so, anyway. Thanks again for another top-notch swap!

I am pea green with envy at your note - handwriting and style. the Postcard of Minnehaha - I want to see it up close and personal - LOL.You sent way way over the amount of stamps. I can always use more Mount Rushmore as I use them in swaps on my cards of "My Men" You sent a huge assortment and will use some at our meeting for the Children's project later this month. And the washi tape selection is very different from mine. My brother goes through the used stamps for something in his lathe wood projects The rest goes to Veterans. Thank you so very much. I want to be your partner again sometime. Many many hearts galore!!! 3

I am going to put together a collage of used stamps and frame it, adding to it through out the years. These will be in the center! The Hawaii envelope holds a special place for us, since my husband was stationed there for 6 years. Your choices for the note cards are just beautiful. I will use up the washi tape and tiny gems right away. The post cards go into my "keeping" collection. I enjoyed reading your letter. Please wish your Mom a Merry Christmas. I would really like to mail her a card. Either to you and you can give it to her, or directly. Just let me know. Thank you so very much for always doing such a great job in this group and for hosting. YOU ARE APPRECIATED and never forgotten. Merry Christmas my friend.

I just wish the post office did not would nit mark them up so badly! Your photo notecards were equally as pretty. The one with the cat was very cute. You know cats are people right???

Now, the photos: I seriously love your cloud photos (and again, thanks for sending based on profile!!). I feel like sometimes it may get old, you know because everyone takes cloud photos, but I think: we are the first people EVER to be able to see clouds from such an insane vantage point. We are so blessed and I take those plane cloud photos with the intent that if I could, I'd love to show my ancestors them (if that makes sense)? Anyway, the color palette is very nice too. Did you take these with a film camera?? Thank you SO much again for this wonderful swap!!

I love all the decoration you put on the outside so I knew I'd be in for a treat on the inside, and I wasn't disappointed! You and I feel the same about trees in winter; I have a friend who sees them as dead and depressing, but I've been trying for years to get her to see the beauty of the bare branches, so graceful against the sky. Your photo of the branches curving over the setting sun was fabulous! And the one with the bright orange foliage against the brilliant blue sky was very striking. The waterfall setting could was so peaceful and beautiful, and I really like the frozen lake with the geometric railing - that whole scene just pulls me into it. Thank you also for the National Parks stamps; those will go into my stamp collection! Wonderful swap! Thank you so much!!!

Love the National Park stamps, I've never seen them. I like when the stamps fit together to make a scene also. I have several rolls of the bobcats, they're my fav "this century" one cent stamp but I don't have any apples. The three cent stamp IS really gorgeous. I'm happy they've brought that type of style/design back recently. FYI, I failed the quiz LOL.

Your notes always make me smile too, all fountain pen and pretty paper. And honestly, those Violet Days cartoons are the cat's ass. So clever and informative. Ha!!!

I especially love the Peter Max stamp, I've always been a big fan since the 70s and low and behold the same day I got your swap the AARP magazine came with a Peter Max on the cover! xoxoxo

Comment: Hi Lou! Thank you so much for the super cute kitty-stuff! I received your letter today and just didn`t want to open it because it looks so stunning! With all the cats and the postage (love it!). After I made some pictures I c a r e f u l l y cut it open on one side. First I saw you letter and your beautiful, clear handwriting (something I definitely do not have). And then I found the super cute washi-tape and I had to laughe about the idea to wrap it around a zip-bag! :D Fantastic! The stickers are awesome! I don`t have any cat-stickers (the last tiny sheet I send away for this swap) and I am soooo happy to have some in my stash now! But I have to be careful... My son likes them as well and I know what that means.... And then I read something about part one and two and was totally confused... Now I have to write you a message because THIS mail made me super happy and your lovely letter made me smile the whole time I was reading it. You are a wonderful person - I can read that between your lines about your kitty... :D Thanks again for the super cute kitty-stuff and for making me smile and giggle!!!!

Comment: Lou - thanks so much for the fun envelope! I immediately recognized your style of mail with the yellow envelope, the address written in red ink, the many stamps, the pretty washitape and your circular stamp in the corner :) And the content of your mail never disappoints of course - thanks for the notecard, the neat vintage envelope, the airmail labels and the cute stamps as well as your lovely note!

I love looking at the backs, too, to see what the person was writing at the time - and when! Thanks so much! I've been doing well lately, just looking for spring! And I'm Jan, short for Janet. My mom picked out the name on her own while my dad was in Korea, so although I like Jan better, I do treasure "Janet" because it was my mom's idea. Take care of yourself, and kitty, too - and thanks so much!

Comment: Thank you for your package, I can tell you went to my profile to find ideas! My user name is the same one I use everywhere online. It's a reference to a table top RPG called 'Vampire: the Masquerade'. Malkavian is one of the classes of vampires you can pay in the game. I changed the spelling a little bit so it's always unique to me. I grew up in Florida, actually, and I was born in New York.

DC one summer and we stopped in Ohio for an overnight stay. My husband & I and our two pre-teen kids (at the time) went swimming in the motel pool. Our daughter started calling me "Porpie" because I like the water so much and she thought I was like a porpoise in the pool. The name stuck! I am number 5 in my family of origin, so that's why I add the no. 5. She is in her 30s now, and sometimes sill calls me Porpie! Good times!

Once again it was a package filled with everything that makes my heart sing! :) I was surprised (like everyone else, no doubt) to learn that Betty Crocker wasn’t a real person and can’t wait to read all about the Betty Crocker phenomenon. I’m still processing that tidbit along the (highly intellectual) lines of ‘ohmageeeerd’ and ‘fer realz?!’ lol Thanks again, Lou!

I've put them in my stocking and am looking forward to Christmas fun. :) Last but not least, I ADORE the vintage stamps. So cool. The graphics are awesome. I'm from Michigan, so I have extra love for the one of the Great Lakes. The first Christmas stamp from 1962 is a real treasure and the sweet dog on the "Humane Treatment of Animals" stamp is after my own heart. Thank you for making my day with this fabulous swap! xx

My mom worked at Macy's NY, used to take the train from NJ to meet her at work (couldn't do that as a kid nowadays!). The rainbow cards and the vintage stamps -- there again, my dad, brother and I were stamp collectors! You could buy them at Macy's. This has been one of the nicest -- and most personal -- swaps ever. Thanks so much!! (You know we can only leave 5 stars, but I'm leaving 5 million!)

So those are the stamps you were talking about - They are amazing - as well as all the fabulous ones you used on your envelope. Crazy - I've been thinking about making a little advent calendar for my little grand-daughter -- and didn't really know what to put in it - I'm thinking those stamps would be fabulous - Get her interested in stamp collecting, too. The other philately stuff is beyond belief -- Super duper thank you for all of that! The Mr. Zip is too cute - and - actually, I do remember that little stampie. ha! Now... The notecards - They are fabulous! Absolutely great - The one with the snapshot on it - really great idea to make notecards from that. Thank you So very much for a most Fantastic swap - and - Thank you so much for hosting the greatest swaps. Happy day to you.

Comment: What a smile producing card! Your message and the added stamps, I appreciate. The stamps on envelope were not cancelled. How did that happen? A card from Canada also had an uncancelled stamp, but it was just a tiny one. I did not know that Christmas stamp was the first. Merry Christmas!

I loved all the stamps on the envelope and all the stamps included in the envelope! It's a very small world when you think about it, to have some of your family living so close to me is crazy! I hope you have a lovely holiday season and have a wonderful time with your family and friends, and I would love to do a private swap with you in the future, just send me a message and maybe give me some ideas on what you would like to swap!

And the Vacation Notice postcard is certainly an interesting one! Thank you also for explaining the stamps you enclosed! Wow, I'm totally overwhelmed by everything you sent me - thank you so much!

The little one says "thank you" for the labels and Bible. The books? Postcards? You know me so well! And you're so thoughtful! As for the photos, you really capture the spirit of the swap. I love them! I love the flowers, the bright colors, the cheerful way you present them. They're going on my cheer wall at work! And of course, I'm in love with all the stamps all over the package. I'm trying to figure out a way to preserve them (the little one wants all the sciencey ones, of course). Thank you and many hearts and hugs to you for once again brightening my day! You rock, Lou!

Comment: WOW! That's all I was thinking as I kept sorting through all those amazing stamps yesterday! Are you certain you stuck to our $10 agreement? One of the 5 cent stamps I remember VERY well! I worked after school, Friday nights, and on Saturdays at a clothing shop when I was in high school. I was saving for college and using the dollars to buy my own clothes because $$ were so short for my family at that time. The store owner sent me with $5 to purchase a 100 roll of stamps and to use some to mail a few items she'd sent with me. Apparently, I took off the stamps I needed for mailing those and then accidentally went back to the store, leaving the roll of stamps on the post office counter! I hurried back, but they were gone and I was SO horrified at losing $5! To her credit, the owner was very understanding and refused to deduct the $5 from my next pay check! But I will never forget the feeling of making what seemed such a HUGE mistake at the time! Do you have any other ideas for another private "marvelous swap"? I'll be thinking of ideas as well and would enjoy doing more! Take care and THANKS for some incredible stamps--I think I'm saving them and putting them into some kind of booklet or other form of display. I'm thinking about several possibilities! Take care and THANKS very much! PeggyO

I got a laugh (at myself) when reading your letter... you said "stamps from the 1960s issued by U.S. to honor Canada" and I read it as "issued by U.S. to humor Canada". And your handwriting is lovely too... I just have to slow down a bit. I like your interesting little design for your initials... I think I might be able to do something with this. See you in the mail.

Not only did both envelopes get here fast...I couldn't believe you used some of your collection on the outside to mail...the smaller envelope was so pretty, your PO didn't even cancel them...I don't blame them.:) And as for the stamps...WOW!...what a selection!:) Both my husband & son were ooo-ing & ahhh-ing...you can be assured my son is going to use these for his "collection badge"...he is showing them off tonight at the Scout meeting. The Star-Wars set was the icing-on-the-cake! If you only knew how many times we've said we've got to get that set...we are definitely NOT using these for crafting...they will be framed or in a stamp-collector book. Thanks so much for suggesting this swap...and give Ms.Belle a BIG kitty hug for her cat-input and purrrsonal PM Thank-you!:) Hope you have lots of fun playing & creating!Happy Swapping!!Ciao!:)

I of course loved the photography ones the most. However, the Buddy Holly is super special. When my late husband (common-law) was alive he grew up with Buddy. He used to go hang out at his house and listen to him jam. He would tell me the stories. So, that stamp is super special. I also really love the Military ones. These are wonderful! I love the photos of your baby too, too sweet! You are the best!
