Response: I bribed them for it, lol. I've gotten to know the PO folks as I'm there every week. Told 'em about swap bot & how we try to include them in some of our swap themes. I brought coffee/cookies but no free postage, lol, just the poster. Glad you like it :) Fun swap!

Response: thank you for rating :) Peace is a word that should be in everyone's vocabulary ( heart & mind) so happy to know it was a good 'fit' for you. Snowflake in AZ-- that should amuse your visitors, lol.

Response: thanks for rating -- happy to know they moved to a good home to be used/enjoyed :)
Response: lol- thanks for rating. The swap was timed perfectly with my studio revamping so I luckily unearthed some cool profile stuff to make your day. Easy to let it go when you know someone else is sure to enjoy it :)
Response: napkins I scored at a retail chain called Tuesday Mornings & most of the cards were from Half Price Books-- also a retail chain. It was easy to compose this pkg as we have such similar interests :) thanks for rating

Response: thank you for rating :)
"elegant in it's simplicity" is my motto, lol

Response: thank you for rating- these were my first attempts to the 'art form' so am glad you found them acceptable :)
Response: thanks for rating. I'm glad it's being enjoyed at it's new home. Some of these cool graphics are hard to part with but it's fun to try to 'match' cards to recipients :)

Response: thank you for rating. Kinda proud of the DH's photography :) Sewing theme is a fave for me too & bits/pieces are easy to find at thrift shops so I have plenty to share :) enjoy
Response: thank you for rating. I was hoping the info was still 'fun' from '07. ComiCon was truly an experience but once was enough for me, lol. Glad you are enjoying them :)

Response: thank your for rating as well as the heart. This was a fun swap to do & very gratifying to hear that my offerings were so well received:)
Response: they are old - I dont see them anymore either, lol. napkin private swap is always welcome-- I have tons to share yet keep buying more as they are as addictive as paper. I can include more bear shapes to trim out as clothing for the brown bears :)
Response: did you notice the pink ribbon on her outfit? at least that's what it was meant to be, lol. Thank you for rating & glad you enjoyed it :)
Response: the postage is worth it when I receive not only a nice rating but heartfelt thanks:) I hoped it would be a perfect fit for you so I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it. From one bibliophile to another :)
Response: lol-- it drives My Husband crazy that I squirrel away so much of our packaging for recycling but it amuses my postman. Rewarding to know my attention to profile detail was enjoyed:) Thank you for rating/heart
Response: thank you for rating/heart. Rewarding to know my attention to profile details are noted :) Altered clothespins are my current obsession- useful & fun! I'm trying to master the origami orchid myself using glossy colorful paper from comic book pages :) It's the perfect weight paper & cheaply aquired second hand.

Response: thanks for rating & I hope you have fun 'altering' the frogs :)

Response: my hubby thinks I'm too chatty with waiters, cashiers, etc.. but I cant resist trying to see if they have a sense of humor, lol. I'm even chatty on a simple postcard :) You just never know, sometimes your chatter may be the only friendly word some people hear all day :)
Response: thank you for rating. I am relieved it arrived & is being enjoyed. I was afraid you would feel cheated by the lack of more embellishment ( additional matching buttons/ribbon included in case you liked my original theme-- minimal in case you
wanted to continue altering it in another style) Extras mean my overflow goes to a good home to be put to better use than sitting on my shelves, lol, which makes it easier to let go :)
Response: handmade envies are an ongoing obsession for me-- so glad you enjoyed them & thank you for rating:)
Response: happy to know you're enjoying it all:)
I hope the pot I made/sent inspires...
Response: happy to know they've moved on to a loving home - it made them easier to part with. I enjoyed them but my tastes have changed over the years & I had to make room so decisions had to be made, lol. Thank you for rating.

Response: relief it arrived safely :) Thanks for your patience & hope it was worth the wait. Glad your wee one enjoyed the 'non-green' treats. Thank you for rating
Response: Relieved to know my choice was well received :) Of course now that you've admitted to an addiction, you'll be on my hit list, lol. Thank you for rating & the heart. I hope I get a chance to see your stamps in future swaps as they are always a delight.
Response: I make pc's from recycled paperback books & my rubberstamp/depia tone ink :) Sometimes I can find the perfect match-- other times I have to settle for genre if I dont have a paticular author in my stash.
Response: hope you can find use for it all. whatever may have missed the mark, feel free to re-gift :)
Response: Relieved the resend came through ok :)
thank you for the follow up- I appreciate it. Sorry all of the extras didnt get to you the first time around but I still keep an eye out for bunnies :)
Response: sorry for the lateness- challenging to find the postage to content ratio of balance on int'l shipping. Wish I could've sent a 1000 grand bars, lol.
Response: my work here is done..... lol. I had fun with it & am glad it arrived ok & is being enjoyed. The panda box qualifies as 'vintage' I think, lol. I can be your Altoid tin supplier -- my dad gives me all his empties :)
Response: LOL! I'd hoped the label wouldnt offend. A rare find of the published illustration annuals -- now it's all on CD's. Major score when I can find them & try to find a use for every image, lol. Thanks for the rating. happy to know the pkg was well received :)
Response: I would love to send more but I gotta admit int'l shipping can be a killer, lol.
I'm happy that you enjoyed the selections that 'made the cut' lol.
Response: lol - I forgot what I sent but happy that you like it :)
Response: way cool! lemme know if you'd like a copy of any of the series. I have spares I'm willing to share. PM if interested :)
Response: wow -- I am humbled by your review. When you have such an 'easy' profile to match, it's just fun to send along all the little extras to share. When the Universe arranges the perfect timing, it just makes the whole exchange all the better. Thank you for the heart.
Response: my work here is done... lol
It's a win/win for both of us then as things move on to a 'good home' to be used & enjoyed :)
Thanks for the heart
Response: having a well filled out profile really helps give clues for ATC free theme type swaps. I really enjoy sending the extras, not just for rating bribes, lol, but to pass along things requested that I know will be used/enjoyed from the overflowing abundance of my studio -- I see it as a win/win :)
Response: thanks for setting up the private swap. I have you 'on file' for future things that fit the 'cheery/yellow' catagory :)
I welcome the opportunity to share a little spontaneous sunshine/ good news :)
Response: my work here is done, lol. That's 1/2 the fun -- hoping one's offerings are the bright spot in someone's day :)
Thanks for the heart.
Response: I believe I have you for another ATC swap, lol. It's part of my MO as part of my 'generousity' is to pare down my studio overflow by making as many profile matche as I can fit into a pkg :) It's a win/win
Response: oh dear! I got on a roll & overlooked a few critical details, lol. So sorry. please scribble my moniker on it for me :) and thank you for the rating & the estra time to sort it all out...
Response: Gratzi! I almost hated to give them up, lol so am pleased to hear you're enjoying them. Pin-ups are inspiring but happy to send some on from the overflowing stash of clip art :)
Response: ATC newbie with a passion- I cant draw or paint but collage I can master, lol. Profiles give me a chance to send lots of extras & help pare down the overload in my studio :) hearts are always appreciated; thank you
Response: I would be honored :)
Response: It's nice to have such a good profile to work with for ideas. I enjoyed creating your ATC & it's the positive, appreciative feedback that makes me so addicted to this site :)
Response: thanks! I'm happy when my work inspires others to recycle. a genre swap would be cool.
Response: no actually. pretty rare in that I get these through a friend that works at a used book store. After awhile, due to space issues, the clearance rack has to be put in the paper recycling dumpster but she saves me the covers before they get 'processed'. Sometimes I get some nice vintage stuff, but most stuff is only 10-20 yrs old by publisher date
Response: thanks for noting the profile details on the ATC :) It was a joy to create. I could send more -- so many matches on your profile to choose from so happy to hear it is all well received.
Response: high praise indeed. Thank you! The kind of response that makes it all worthwhile. Glad you are enjoying it & I would've loved to have sent more, you had so many 'matches' to choose from on your profile it was hard to narrow it down & not add postage, lol.
Response: that name rings a bell also, I guess I just never heard his version of it. One of those bits of trivia to share with my dad :)
glad you enjoyed the card
