Response: Your welcome. I take it by the response that you didn't like them that much, so I will send another. Even though it was to be a surprise, I will gear toward something that you might like better.

Response: Ha! Well I am hopeful that it will be worth the wait! :) Thanks for the heart and the rate. Mine will probably be the only gift I get, so definitely waiting!

Response: Yep, you got all of the contents except for the money. LOL This time of year, I can just bet workers look for gift cards!

Response: I usually go above what is asked, just my nature :) No the single ones that I added I thought you might want to sample and are bought from Swan Creek. They are soy based. I went ahead and added one of the Scensy ones for you to try too. I wanted to send you some others, but I knew it would be passed the deadline before I got them as I just got them at the craft fair at the school today. The woman that makes them has such fabulous ones! I just bought 30 of them today! :) As for the ones ones that I got in this swap weren't quite what I could use as there were some floral undertones that I can't quite handle and one was only half a package. One of the scents is what I could actually use. Oh well, I will just pass the others on.

Response: Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: You are welcome!

Response: OH goodness! Glad it showed up! Also glad you love the card and atc! Thanks for the heart and the rate.

Response: Oh so glad you love her. She was fun to do.

Response: Glad it made it! I was hoping it was packed enough so it wouldn't get broken. Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: So glad you are thrilled! I just sort of went stamp crazy. lol Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: Good, so glad you like them. If you need any more of the star cut out, let me know. It was part of a belt that I disassembled :)

Response: I love these swaps as they are so much fun! So glad you like the theme! Thanks for the heart and the rate.

Response: I am so glad you like it! I just love doing them. Thanks for the heart and the rate.

Response: Oh good, so glad you liked it. I used fabric I made from rust dying and then painted a coppery paint over a construction joint web.

Response: Thanks so much, hope whoever gets it likes it :)

Response: I am so glad you love it! It makes my day!

Response: What "foolish" things we do to please our partners. Glad it hit your funny bone. It's one of the funniest things I had seen in a long time and kept it in my collection for just the appropriate trade :D

Response: So glad that they will be of use! It's so fun to come up with something you just discover!

Response: Thanks for allowing me to be your first APC! Thanks for the heart and the rate too.

Response: Thanks, I don't think that you can do it with magazines unless it is with a lazer printer technique. I wasn't aware that it had to be a certain technique though. Glad you like it!

Response: Thank you for the heart and the rate! I have lots of fun playing with stamp . Some are really over the top funny. lol

Response: So glad they rated a heart! Thank you!

Response: So glad you love it! Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: So glad you like it! Thanks for the heart and the rate.

Response: So glad you love it! You made my day!

Response: So glad you like them all, They were fun to make!

Response: So glad you like them all! The address label I had printed from one of my pieces at Zazzle.

Response: It's just too bad the other didn't make it.

Response: Good, so glad it arrived! Enjoy!

Response: Funny how that swap seemed like many moons ago that I don't remember what I did to that ATC! LOL They may have been crystals and in that case they were fusible so they were heat set with a tool for about 10 seconds and they melt right on. I use them in fabric on quilts and also have some for my daughter's competition outfit. (She's a body builder.) There are some different brands out there , but the swarovski crystals are the best as they sparkle more. They also sell flat backs and if I were to use glue on them, I would use Fabri Tac or use small tubes of E 6000. Those are my favorite glues for glass, metal and fabric. Speaking of rescues, I am getting another Papillon on Sat! An 86 year old woman is giving her up since her health is poorly and moving in a care facility and can't take her along. She has an 8 hour trip to come to me on transport:)

Response: You are welcome.

Response: I thought it was the best, but I guess nothing special? Enjoy!

Response: Awesome! So glad it arrived and makes you want to go back in time! I love steampunk!

Response: So glad you love her! After making the first one, I knew better on how to do yours so if she should happen to come apart, you can open the egg yet and work on her insides. Mine I can not. lol

Response: Thank you! I am humbled by the comment. I love her too! Painting such a tiny face is quite the challenge!

Response: Thanks too for the heart and the rate!

Response: So glad you like them! They are my favorites!

Response: So glad you like it! It was my favorite too. So glad I was able to make a duplicate for myself or you would have never gotten it! LOL Thanks for the heart and the rate.

Response: So glad you like it! Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: So glad you like it. Thanks for the heart and the rate :)

Response: So glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for the rate and the heart.

Response: So glad you like them! Can hardly wait to see yours. Please don't worry if you didn't send me extras. I rate on a nice swap and will even give a heart for a nice swap. Sometimes people send extras to try to get a heart and seems more of what they are trying to get rid of than to send as a thoughtful , hope I get a heart thing for it. Anyway I sent perhaps way more extras than some would, but since you are a bit new at it, thought you could use them!

Response: So glad it arrived and approved! Yes, when we were at Milton Keynes, it seems pretty much just a shopping mall and that was about it as it had a ways to go to get built up. Would love to see it now!

Response: So glad it arrived and thanks so much for the heart and the rate, You are so right though. There are so many that don't rate at all and makes you frustrated wondering if they got it much less liked it. Yes, if I get back to Florida, i will have to let you know. It would be fun to meet other swap bot people. I have met one down there and had a great time! Oh and if you would like to join in, I have a few swaps I am hosting.:)

Response: So glad you enjoyed them all! I never even thought about the chocolate melting! I had forgotten where you live it very well could be! Also had I known I have your name for the Not so crappy egg swap too, or I could have saved and sent in one package. This one I won't be able to send in a small priority box though! I have worked my tail off on it. I have so many drill marks and burn wood in the process trying to drill through tough metal. Finally just had to wait until hubby came home so I could find the metal drill bits as my dremel wouldn't do! I may still make some changes before it is finally finished. I know I will have to make myself one too! Just too darn much fun once you figure out what you are doing . lol Oh and if it should interest you. I have a few swaps you can check out and join in if you would like.

Response: Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: You are welcome. Yep 2 rates... double the fun!

Response: It's always awesome to make someone's day! I threw the penny in last min. and figured it would get lost in the shuffle and meant to tell you to look for it.

Response: Too bad the swap wasn't to send one or two or so out. LOL They get kind of costly! Thanks for the heart and the rate.

Response: So glad you loved the swap! You made my day! Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: So glad you love the swap! It really was fun to do:) Thanks for the heart and the rate! You made my day too!

Response: So glad she arrived and has a special place! Enjoy! Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! The beach is a perfect place! Thanks for the heart and the rate!

Response: Glad they are pleasing to you! Thanks for the heart and rate.

Response: So glad you enjoy them!

Response: that swam to you fast! So glad you love the swap!

Response: So glad you like them!

Response: So glad you are full of crap! lol Have a great Christmas! Thanks for the hearts and the rate!

Response: ; |

Response: ;)

Response: :)

Response: Glad you got them. Sorry it wasn't enough for a rate even though I sent extras. Some really nice ones I had were from Austrailia,but didn't think that you wanted them back from your own country. LOL

Response: Glad you liked it. sorry that it wasn't pleasing enough for a heart rate though.

Response: Thanks for the heart and th rate

Response: Thanks for the heart and the rate. So glad you enjoyed my page!

Response: Thanks for the rate and heart. Hope you liked her.

Response: Thanks for the rate and the heart. I do hope you get relief from the abcess. They can be miserable.

Response: You really going to wait that long? Lol

Response: So glad you like it, it was a challenge for me!

Response: So glad you like them. Had I known you were making bracelets, I would have sent more! I went home to deal with my mom's health,but when I get back and you need more, I will send them to you.

Response: So glad you like it! I have to admit I was pretty happy how it turned out. I am sure you have figured out that the cord is adjustable.

Response: So glad you enjoy it! I just love doing ATC's! Thanks for the heart and the rate.

Response: so glad it arrived! After all of this rain, many of my flowers are either thriving or have drowned!

Response: It was an eyesome assignment! Glad you like it. Thanks for the rate and the heart:)

Response: You are very welcome!

Response: So glad you like it!

Response: I use to do tutorials on my blog once in awhile, but with so much anoyomous spam, It has discouraged me from wanting to do much on it. You can look at some old enteries. The last entry happened to be a dog bed too, only made from a suitcase and some table legs :) needlewings.blogspot.com

Response: Hope you scrolled down and saw the second project too.(although you perhaps don't do charity baby quilts) I wear a size 3 X clothing and I made one bed that worked for the black lab I was fostering and like I said if you join 2 t shirts in the center, it would work better for larger dogs too. I guess it depends on the "big" dog! Thanks for the rate and the heart.

Response: No, I hadn't meant it to be negative, just my feelings about it as I just felt intimidated was all not just by just the color (even though it seemed picky instead of preference oriented) but mainly didn't think my stuff was up to snuff in a past swap, so I felt a reflection on what I shouldn't do for you. I realize we all have different personalities and if I felt I was insulting you, I certainly wouldn't have wanted a potential bad rating now, would I? Anyway I am glad you like it. I guess I just have issues with some things in the past that just haven't been good enough for some people and nearly quit trading and quilting both! Don't think it personal as it wasn't just you personally. I will try to relax, but I get a little gun shy. One woman nearly cost me my business! I won't go into it, but yeah it was that intense and made me so sick so when I see some other signs, I get pretty panicy.

Response: Thanks for the rate and heart!

Response: Thanks for the rate and the heart! Glad you liked the cat! That turtle was too cute to pass up!

Response: Thanks for the rate and heart too!

Response: So glad you like "him" or WHO you want it to be. lol Thanks for the rate and the heart.

Response: Wow, it got there quite quickly! Thanks for the rate and the heart. Hope many cards arrived for your friend! Hope she has an awesome BD tomorrow!

Response: So glad you enjoyed it! I had no clue it was going to cost so much to mail though, but I had fun. lol

Response: So glad it was all pleasing! Thanks too for my 200th heart!

Response: Thanks for the comment, the rate and the heart! That makes me 3 times a winner!

Response: You deserve it! lol

Response: thanks for the rate and the heart! Also glad he was recognized as a dog. lol we use to do a lot of blind drawings when I was in college.

Response: Thanks for the rate and the heart!

Response: I am happy that I made you fall in love :) Consider yourself mooned!

Response: So glad you like them! I didn't know what to do with the decos, but since you mentioned them in your profile, it gave me oppertunity :)

Response: It was a lot of fun!

Response: Thanks for the rating!

Response: I had so much fun buying the jewelry pieces and making your doll, that when I went to send it, I realized that it wasn't suppose to be made at all, but all purchased! Well, I thought, if you really wanted to, you can take them all apart and do something more you in mind. LOL I was bummed that I couldn't find a shrimp or a crab in the middle of Ohio for you. LOL Anyway, I am so glad you like everything. Hope you have an awesome Christmas!

Response: Thanks for the rating and hope kitties are revived after their nap! LOL Have a wonderful Christmas too!

Response: Glad you like them. Hope Buddy Holly likes his goodies too!

Response: You are so welcome! Today I am 60 years old and I feel so blessed to have hands that can still do the things I enjoy and can make people happy. Thanks to you for the wonderful swap to make it happen! Hope you get to visit all of the states as I have. Collect a little something from each state and hang it on a Christmas tree as an ornament. We did this with all of the states and countries we have been in and are such fond memories to think of each year :) Now you can hang the key chain. lol

Response: I thought you would love them. They are old and got them from a yard sale . It's fun to find other uses and from things you don't always find often.

Response: Thanks for the rating and heart! I love Lake Hope. We have stayed there with a quilter's retreat at one of the cabins. We are perhaps about 20 or so miles from there. I am guessing that your step brother's cabin is off of 180 :). It's a small world:)

Response: I may have gotten them at Hobby Lobby or a Joann's store.

Response: So glad you enjoyed them!

Response: Awesome! So glad you enjoyed your swap from me. Sure when ever you want to swap again, that is fine with me. Just decide what you would like.

Response: I am sorry that your ATC's were delayed. I meant to email you about it too. I had all of my mail to go out, but one was stuck between my car seats and got missed! It was yours for which I humbly appologize for being so late. So glad you like it though and thanks too for the heart.

Response: So glad she arrived and is a most welcomed spirit:) May she bring you luck in all that you do.

Response: Thanks for rating, I would have given you the same comment as Prairie Kittin below about the heart, but it seems she got my message wrong. I realize that not everyone give out hearts and have a different rating criteria. I sent examples as an extra effort on my flickr, but I suppose I shouldn't expect. I just always give everyone a heart unless they truly have screwed up. Hearts just make people happy, but I wish that they would personally do away with them as it seems people can take things so differently. We need an emotion button instead of people taking things wrong.

Response: Thanks, hope to swap with you at CQ sometime. Thanks for the heart.

Response: So glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the heart.

Response: Thanks, even if you thought it wasn't worth a heart. I said this with disappointment, not with sarcasm. I am not a heartless person. Sorry you thought it that way.

Response: Thanks for the heart!

Response: I knew you would like that duck! I was afraid it would get broken. It was fun seeing how much stuff you could cram in there.

Response: They have been fun! Thanks for the heart and rating!

Response: Thanks for the rating and heart!

Response: I'm happy you're happy! lol

Response: So glad it arrived and you like it.

Response: Yay! Success! Thanks for the heart too!

Response: o.k. glad you got it , was a tad worried.

Response: So glad it arrived and you like it. I never thought until afterwards that I could have added a little blush to the cheeks and the inner ears. You can add if you wish!

Response: You are welcome! Today it is freezing here. Wished my swap would have come to warm me up too. lol

Response: So glad this was fun for you :) Wished I could have stood over your shoulder and watched!

Response: You are quite welcome!

Response: you are welcome!

Response: It always makes me feel good when the OMG comes before the detail. lol Glad you like your swap!

Response: I am so glad it went to someone who is very appreciative of my art. I love doing interpretations from found objects. I thought perhaps you may even want to display on the paper background with the photo. But silly me, I realized I forgot to sign it when it was finished. I get so involved that I become scatterbrained at times. lol

Response: So glad they were new to you!

Response: My pleasure!

Response: Glad you like it. Sounds like it was delayed in getting to you though.

Response: Glad you like it. Just too bad I couldn't have found a charm that looked just like your dog.

Response: So glad you like the fabric. It's one of my favorite winter ones!

Response: you're Welcome!

Response: Yeah! It was my pleasure! Thanks too for the heart.

Response: Sounds like the package went to a super awesome person! Thanks for the hearts and rose!

Response: You are welcome. You never know. perhaps besides trading, we will meet one time:)

Response: You are very welcome!

Response: This really was fun! Thanks for the heart too!

Response: This really was a fun, but glad I didn't have to swap any of my presents, how ever, that parakeet could go. LOL

Response: So glad you like it and got it so quickly! Especially for the season! Have an awesome Christmas!

Response: You are welcome! Thanks for the heart too!

Response: Thanks for the heart!

Response: So glad you like them!

Response: You are so welcome!

Response: So glad you like them! My favorite is that dotted one! I ordered it from fabric.com.

Response: You are welcome! Orange buttons are not usually in abundance, so thought they might be a good treat!

Response: your welcome

Response: I am so glad that they are so well liked and appreciated. I didn't get them out until the last day and the organizer of the swap, I felt not so nice in pre judging me BEFORE the deadline, so consequently I won't join in other swaps by her. A shame I know as I know I put in 200 plus percent into my work. Thanks for the heart too. Your wonderful comments had me floating in air!

Response: I aimed for snuggly and colors you would like. They were my favorites:) They sure arrived quickly! Evidently they weren't special enough to warrant a heart, but with the extra expense, I decided not to send anything extra, sorry.

Response: my pleasure!

Response: my pleasure!

Response: Thanks for the heart. Hope the kitties liked it!

Response: So glad it will be cherished! Your treasure is my pleasure!

Response: Yay!

Response: You will have to visit some time :)

Response: It was my pleasure!

Response: So glad you love them!

Response: Woo Hoo, that shipped fast! glad you like them.

Response: So glad I did it then, it was worth the response and the heart. :)

Response: So glad you like it! It's my favorite too!

Response: lol I have 10 old fashioned super innocent cats and 3 not so innocent papillons. lol

Response: Glad it arrived! You are welcome! Thanks for the heart too!

Response: You are welcome! So glad everything is a hit!

Response: So glad it was a great trade for you. They were my favorites too!

Response: Awesome! So glad you liked everything!

Response: lol, should have sent more candy! My grand daughter's nickname is Kit Kat for Kitana Katelyn :) Glad you like the fabrics.

Response: You're welcome!

Response: :)

Response: glad they arrived. The one Navy and yellow is a Moda. My favorite! Had to buy extra! Can't remember the maker on the other near solid.

Response: I was hoping you would love it especially since you are the host! lol I loved every min. working on it:)

Response: Your welcome! Thanks for the heart!

Response: So glad that it will help!

Response: Your welcome! Sorry it didn't warrant a heart rating. I spend a fortune on shop quality fabrics so feel no need to send extras. One was Free Spirit and the other South Seas (That one is my favorite!)

Response: so glad you like them! OH and the retreat is Oct. 17-20th. You could come one or all days. It's $30. a night. I can send more info later if interested.

Response: So glad you like it! Thanks for the heart too.

Response: I am so glad!

Response: your welcome!

Response: Glad you like them!

Response: I must have sent them with the wind at their back. LOL Glad you like them.

Response: Glad you like them. I wished more had joined in as they really missed out!

Response: They arrived fast! Hope you like them. They are my favorites! Thanks for the heart.

Response: So glad you like them:) I can hardly wait to see what comes to me!

Response: So glad you like them. Thanks for my 100th heart too!

Response: glad you like them.

Response: OH JOY! So glad you like it!

Response: you are welcome

Response: You are welcome

Response: Glad you like them!

Response: You're welcome!

Response: your welcome.

Response: you are welcome!

Response: Instead of a heart, Just send me your iPad. LOL Glad that the fabrics are obnoxiously lovable:)

Response: Oh good, I am glad she arrived! Thanks for the heart too!

Response: Oh Great! I am glad it made your day and chocolate always cures everything! LOL

Response: AWESOME! I am so glad that they are all a joy for you! So glad it made it there quickly too!

Response: So glad it was a great package!

Response: i am so glad! I have to make me a cat one now!

Response: lol I'm eating a Hershey's! So glad you enjoyed the swap:)

Response: So glad you liked them! I couldn't believe that it was almost $2. to mail! I was figuring about half that, so guess that means less swaps. lol The Post Office keeps getting more greedy!

Response: Glad you like them!

Response: So sorry, I didn't realize I hadn't responded. Guess I am a slow study. LOL Anyway You are very welcome!

Response: Wow, that was really fast. Glad you like it.

Response: I predicted you would like your fortune teller card too! I guess I really am psychic! LOL

Response: Oh good, I am glad it is something you like:) You are very welcome. Thanks too for the heart.

Response: You are very welcome! Thanks for the heart too!

Response: You are very welcome! Thanks for the heart too!

Response: Good, so glad you got them and like them!

Response: Oh good, so glad you like them.

Response: So glad you like your journal page. After I read your description again, I wasn't sure if it would fit the criteria or if it would be a "cry"teria! I guess to know me, I am always looking for whim or things that carry more than one message. Yes, I drew the face at the bottom edge of the page. I had actually drawn and painted extras on some stitch and tear fibers one time as I did them as ATC swaps and the theme was wild women, so what I did was to put piercings in the tongue, eye brows and nose. LOL But since I had extras, it worked well as a woman laughing too! I will put them on my flickr site:) Ah, the fabric, It was a piece that I had rust dyed and then used a redish color to distress it. As for the stamp, it was one that I picked up at either Joanns or Hobby Lobby I think. I will send you a clear stamp of it on paper with the next trade. It reads : The beauty of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile... it's the spiritual inspiration that comes when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with their friendship. The stamp is by Hero Arts. So check at www.heroarts.com:) It's K5058 Frienship Message. Anything else you want to know, just holler! I used mat modge podge as the finish and rolled it on with a mini sponge roller. The LAUGH was free handed and cut out. How I started was when you mentioned something uplifting, "laugh" was the first word that came to mind, so I looked through Yahoo images for inspiration and this horse came up so I new I had to do something with it as it really cracked me up. Then everything else sort of fell into place as I was thinking about what laugh was. The bird images came from Art Chix Studios I think. As for blending the edges to form shadows on the border, I used a flat brush, got it wet, loaded an edge with acrylic paints and let it blend on a paper plate and then floated it on the paper. If it doesn't make sence, let me know and I will be glad to find an example somewhere for you. Anything else????

Response: glad it make it's way to you! For the lutradur, I just use dyenaflow and some watered down acrylics if that 's what you mean. If you are wondering about the block printing, I used acrylics. Sure doing a hand made page would be fine. You can set up the swap if you wish to earn a star this time if you want. If not, I can do it. Either way is fine. Will perhaps be 3 or 4 weeks before I can get to it with summer, catching up with customer stuff. etc.

Response: thanks for rating and the heart too!

Response: glad you like them.

Response: Glad you love it:) You are correct, the finish is modge podge. I used the gloss lustre on it. I also used a roller sponge brush, hence the texture instead of brush strokes. I also put it on matt board.

Response: Glad you liked it!

Response: Glad you liked it.

Response: AWESOME! Glad it arrived. It was fun getting your package ready. I actually bought myself the same butterfly stamp too:)

Response: So glad you enjoyed it. I can also fix you up with some cats if you like. I promise to put air holes in the box. lol

Response: I am so tickled that it all arrived and you enjoy the goodies. I thought the tiny teddy would be the topper:) Thanks for making me smile!

Response: You're welcome!!

Response: Cool! You're welcome! That didn't take long at all to get there! Let me know if you like the chai:)

Response: Awesome, it sure didn't take long for the package to arrive! Of course I am only one state away. lol Let me know how that Belgium cinnamon chocolate bar is. I was wondering if I should splurge on one too or should have taken a bite of yours first! lol I can undoubtedly say I love all of the others and hope you do too!

Response: your welcome.

Response: glad you liked them and thanks for the heart!

Response: Thanks, hope the links were useful too.

Response: Wow that must have flown over on the Stealth for as fast as it was! Glad you enjoyed it!

Response: You are very welcome. Glad you liked it:)

Response: Glad you like it :)

Response: Glad you like it:)

Response: You are very welcome:)

Response: Good, I am glad you like it:)

Response: Good, hope you found lots of good things:)

Response: I am so glad it reached you in such a short time. I know I over did, but have had a blast coming up with your pieces.I think your mom made my day by naming you with an "M" letter. lol (however, I am pretty creative and can probably really come up with the whole alphabet) If you haven't guessed the mystery tool, let me know. It will blow you away!

Response: Ready to have new little ducklings soon. Wish I could mail you one. lol They really are lots of fun. Glad you enjoyed your goodies:)

Response: It was my pleasure!

Response: You are very welcome!

Response: I am so glad you got them:)

Response: So glad you liked her/them! I had a duh moment as I had another idea after the fact. I should have made an inner pouch on the side or each doll and attached with velcro. Within the pouches would be textured squiggles of yarn so that it looked like the intestines joined when you pulled it apart. hee hee. Such a humorous thought! It must have been the Christmas season fog that sedated my muse.

Response: I am so glad you got it this time and enjoy it. At least this was a better package than the one some where in a dead letter box. lol

Response: You are very welcome!

Response: I'm glad it arrived. Enjoy:)

Response: Awesome, glad you liked them:)

Response: Oh good, I am glad you got it. Enjoy!

Response: I tried to explain that it's hearts you give us, not stars, but guess you didn't get my messages before. When you rate, it's just right below the 5 rating it will say this is an extra special package and when you click on it, that's where the hearts come from.

Response: I am happy that she has put a smile on your face. I have had the best time making her! Enjoy!

Response: Awesome, I am so glad you enjoyed it. I may have done some things a little bit different next time, but I was pretty pleased with the first one anyway.

Response: Wow, that package must have had wings! Oh, the stickers on his package glow in the dark too. Sorry to send his package in with yours, but thought I would save on postage. I don't know if you got a chance to look at the postage stamps in the jar, but they are Aussie boyscout ones. I think you mentioned that your son was in scouts so guess they will be for him:) Enjoy!

Response: Well I assure you my name is there on the swap. It's located just below Chaz' name. You had me wondering there for a second if I had sent to the wrong person. Anyway, I was excited thinking this was an extra special swap, but I know not all view things the same. I always send out early even though they have until Oct. 10th to mail back, so I am sure you will get more eventually:) Good luck with your studies.

Response: Glad you got it, I'm listening to it now. Hope the frame was useful too:) I guess I will have to get over thinking I do my best in swaps and not getting hearts, sigh!

Response: Glad you enjoyed them:)

Response: Gosh, I sent extra I thought to your liking, but I guess not everyone rates hearts. Anyway hope it was enjoyable.

Response: Good, Hope you enjoy and if you get too ambitious, I have another house for you to clean if you want to work for CD's. LOL

Response: So glad she arrived and hit it off. Hope you are getting aquainted and talking about the latest Hollywood gossip! She once said to me "I don't repeat gossip so listen carefully!" lol

Response: You are very welcome! Hopefully the new ideas will have you happily creating. Enjoy!

Response: I am so glad she swam her way into your heart:)

Response: You are very welcome, it was a great swap!

Response: Oh good, glad you love the wee little lass:) As for the stars, they are given only to your hostess of the swap and you should be able to give them at the same time. If you mean hearts I know one time I didn't think that there was a place to give them, but I checked back and it was 2nd one under the rating. I think it was changed from when they redid the format. Took me awhile to figure things out. lol

Response: It was a pleasure and so glad you enjoyed your little dog:) You can pick a bone with me any time. hee hee Love your little witch on the moon:) You must know that I use to be called Wanda the Witch.lol I am curious though, can you share how you post those designs? I tried to right click copy and paste, but obviously that wasn't the way when I tried to share one of mine on time. I am quite computer stupid. :(

Response: I am absolutely thrilled that you weren't totally speechless. lol

Response: Good. Glad you like her. Even my husband fell in love with her. Yeah, that fabric is just the coolest for hair. I love the texture!

Response: Your welcome. Hope it was enjoyable.

Response: Yeah, I think the older I get, the more I love instrumentals. For some reason, they don't tire me as much. lol I do love a variety though and Yaz was just one I ran across accidently one day when I was looking for something else on itunes. Glad I did though:)

Response: Hope you had fun, even though with the theme, it's never what you expect.

Response: glad you enjoyed it. The other may not have been your cup of tea, but it was a fun scavenger hunt and a taste of different music too:)

Response: Good, glad you enjoyed it.

Response: Thanks for letting me know. Hope it was enjoyable for you:)

Response: How wonderful that you enjoyed it ! You made my day with your response :)

Response: Oh good am glad you like them. I was working on some of your favorite colors. I felt you could always use them in other crafts if they weren't what you normally wear.

Response: I am so glad you enjoyed your dotee and goodies. I completely poured myself into your profile, that you would have thought I was completely obsessed ( or posessed! LOL)

Response: Glad she made your day:) Even your response makes mine! Enjoy!

Response: Wow, that got to Aussieland fast! Your comments made the expense worth while! I must say that I had forgotten when I went to the post office to ask for stamps and the postmistress had already made out the meter strip. Luckily it's a small post office and we are friends as she let me pick out all of the stamps she had, but I had to put at least a few cents meter strip. For some reason it seems a requirement. Anyway I am thrilled you liked it all. Unfortunately I didn't fare well at all in the trade. Oh well, guess that happens. It's more fun to give anyway as it gives me a bigger thrill to please someone.

Response: Wow, that traveled over seas pretty fast! I am glad you love her ! Your daughters are quite welcome too:))))

Response: So glad you love it! It always makes it worth while just for the comments. We all have such distinct styles! I had never heard of zentangles before and I have a degree in art! lol

Response: You are very welcome. I am so glad you like Phoebe and Tat. Hope they are settling in:)

Response: Glad you enjoyed it! Wish I could get back up to ND soon. It's been a couple of years but will hunt you down. (or should that be up?) lol

Response: I am glad Sushi arrived! lol

Response: Cool, glad you like it. I love things with wings:)

Response: There wasn't a comment, so just hoped that you liked it.

Response: You are so very welcome!!!

Response: She was such a pleasure! Glad you love her and the fancy lace:)
