Response: I noticed I always have people volunteering to help me deliver cookies. ;) I should take you up on your offer!
Response: I ended up being on call for jury duty for the week but wasn't called for jury selection. I'd like to serve on a jury one day though to see what it's like.
Response: Thank you, I'm so pleased you liked it. I had great fun knitting it. :)
Response: Thank you! The Mists of Avalon is one of the best books I have ever read. I enjoy it so much!
Response: I am so glad you like it! I was very nervous about making it because my machine broke in the process of sewing it together. (It's still broken, I think it may be time to get a new machine.) I'm thrilled to know it's being put to good use.
Response: Please let me know how you liked everything once you have opened it. :)
Response: Thank you! And the same to you. :)

Response: I started the shawl last Thursday and I'm about halfway through. The number of stitches keeps increasing so it takes longer and longer to complete each row. It looks amazing so far though, I think my friend will love it!
Response: My knitting is coming along nicely. I'm about halfway through but the number of stitches keeps increasing (typical for triangular shawls) so I'll be working on this for quite awhile. :)

Response: You're welcome! :)
Response: Thank you so much. :)
Response: Thank you for the handwriting compliment. :) The red poppy is worn to remember members of the military who died in the line of duty. I know it's a huge practice in the Commonwealth Nations (where I believe it originated) but I have always seen plenty of red poppies worn in the States as well. This year I discovered purple poppies are worn to remember animals lost in times of conflict so next year I will be making those as well.
Response: The Van Gogh Museum is one of the museums I most want to go to and I hope very much to get there in the next couple years. I adore Van Gogh's art and to see it up close would be a fulfillment of a dream I have had since I was a child.
Response: I've been trying out a lot of recipes I have pinned on Pinterest. So far they have all been a big hit with my husband and friends. I made a beef stroganoff recipe in my crockpot that went over really well.

Response: Thank you! I have a good one already this week. :)
Response: Thank you, I had a lot of fun doing the whole project. I think that if you are a Political Scientist you have to have an open mind. You don't have to agree with other people's opinions but you should challenge them to think about them. I find it troubling so many people have ideas and opinions that aren't backed up by facts or even correct political knowledge.
Response: Thank you! I didn't want to get too rambly so I'm glad my descriptions worked out.
Response: Thank you! I enjoy politics a lot especially when I can educate people without bias (or close to it since you can never be completely unbiased). I like your username as well. :)
Response: You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed the glimpse into my iPod. :)
Response: You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the origami heart. :)
Response: I am so glad you loved everything! I always turn to quotes on bad days and I like being able to have little things to carry around with me or put someplace I can see. Sometimes you need a visual reminder that someone cares. :)
Response: Thank you! Editing to add: if you would like one I would be happy to send it to you. (I just realized I have your address because of this swap, duh me.)
Response: I will find out tonight and will definitely post some pics. Part of me is "yay lace shawl" and the other part is "what were you thinking?!" :)
Response: You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed everything. I like recipes you can play around with and that one you can do that with. I've even used it as a salsa for tacos.
Response: Thank you and I hope you liked the songs I picked. :)
Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed everything! I had a great time making the bracelet for you. :)
Response: You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed them.
Response: Thank you! Once I got a library book with a post-it note inside and was all excited...until I realized it was one I had put there!
Response: You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed them. :)
Response: Me too! He's required listening when I'm stressed. :)
Response: You are welcome. I'm glad you liked them. :)
Response: I hope you enjoyed them. :)
Response: I'm working on a 30 day song journal and I could easily put a Sarah song for at least 10 of the prompts. I adore her! Always nice to meet another fan! :)
Response: I would love to send you a crane! Where do you buy the paper to make your stars? I have been wanting to try making them. I like that you leave them places. I'd love to be the person who finds one!
Response: I like to do little things to brighten people's day. I got your message and I'll definitely be sending you some. :)
Response: It's was a good week for RAKs. I hope this week continues the trend. :)

Response: Thank you, I had a great time putting it all together. :)
Response: Thank you! I had to keep myself from writing really long answers for some of the questions. :)
Response: You have my respect for making up King sized beds yourself. I can get three out of the four corners on and then I call it quits.
Response: I had a lot of fun with the questions. Thank you for the heart, you are a sweetheart! :)
