Comment: Thank you for the interesting papers - glad you enjoyed the swap!

Comment: Your mandala is lovely. Thank you for inviting me along on this artsy adventure. You helped me lure my muse out of hiding. I'm sorry your journey was more difficult for you than you expected. Thanks for including some marker paper for me to experiment on. I can't wait to use it.

Comment: Thank you for making sure I got my swap. You went above and beyond. I really appreciate it.

Comment: Thank you for the assortment of stamped images! Loved the envelope!

Comment: What a superbly amazing interpretation of Vivaldi's Winter in a painting. Excellently done. Thank you so much!

Comment: The resend arrived today! Thank you for the beautiful shaker card and your cute handwritten recipe card. I loved your favorite Christmas memory you shared with me. The handmade sticker on back of the envelope is really pretty, a tulip! I can't remember if you told me or not but did you make it? Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🌲❤️

Comment: Thank you so much for the great swap! Every aspect of the swap was lovely and coordinated. I love the labels, note card, and decorated envie. The designs are so delicate. You always send the best swaps.

Comment: Thank you so much for this brilliant ATC, have you had any snow in your area lately?

Comment: Iam extremely please with your great creative ATC. Thanks very much and extra hearts for you. 💕 i

Comment: 5 hearts to you, Allison! Your HD/HP unicorn is incredibly beautiful. Just a stunning piece of art. Thanks so much.

Comment: Oh wow! Thank you - I might eve frame this one.

Comment: Love, love LOVE this! Thank you so much, and sorry for the rating delay!❤️❤️❤️

Comment: What a beautiful little Mushroom House! I absolutely love it and the envie and the card. I'd give five hearts if I could. And thank you for encouraging words. You've made my Sunday!!

Comment: I love your tags! They are so artsy and beautiful. I'm going to have a hard time deciding which to keep and which to abandon. Thank you for my Happy Mail Day.

Comment: Thank you got the wonderful Lil monster.Extra special for being personalized. Extra hearts if I could. Love the little house mouse card. That's how I like my green olives.lol .

Comment: Thank you for the very long list of your requirements. I think it is very reasonable. It seems that we have a lot in common with one exception - I am an extrovert so I might be too draining for you. The funniest part is that I left your letter on the kitchen counter and my husband read it. I received a text message from him asking if this was serious and did we need to rent an RV and head to Memphis :)

Comment: This swap blew me away! Not only is the Tangle Book of Kells great, but the cards are over the top awesome. (I didn't even know they existed.) Your generosity will help to restart my lagging tangleosity. Thank you soooooo much! You deserve a big bunch of hearts.

Comment: WONDERFUL! What a perfect birthday package to receive from you. I feel so seen and understood. Each item is exactly right and filled me with joy. And the wrapping paper was so pretty! A wonderful swap – thank you so very much!!! If you ever want to do a private swap again, I’m all in. Happy Birthday Allison!!!!

Comment: What an awesome explosion of color, shapes and texture! It takes my breath away! Thank you for sharing your art journal adventure with me. (It always amazes me how different our swaps turn out.)

Comment: This is really lovely, Allison, thank you. And a nice, neat back as well! Xx

Comment: I love your Learning Curve project. It's so cute! It's interesting how things can turn out better than you pictured even though they take so much longer than you thought they would. And that prep can be a lot of work and cost so much. Thank you so much for an awesome swap that was a surprise for both of us.

Comment: Thank you for another delightful swap. I think my favorites are those with the tiny flowers / flowers & hearts and the adorable Holly Hobby fabric--I know a couple of swap-bot friends who love her and I have ideas of what to make already! ♥ I really enjoyed this swap and hope you'll host more of these charm swaps in the future. Thank you!

Comment: Ahhh, I love it! So beautiful!! Thank you. I will cherish it.

Comment: I love your psycho-neuro yellowness! Both the envie and the card are very cool. And Hamlet was very pleased to get mail from Coco. (He gave it a good sniff.) Thanks for hosting this one. It's nice once in a while to work on whatever you feel like at the moment.

Comment: Thank you for the sweet, cheerful ATC. I enjoyed hearing about your process, and your painting is lovely. ♥

Comment: What a great card!! Thank you so much and thanks for hosting a fun swap!

Comment: Takk så mye. I love the hybrid metallic gel pens! What a perfect secret surprise! Update: part 2 arrived today (2/1/21). I was hoping I would get to see your fun catalog zine. Thank you for sending me a copy.

Comment: Guess what arrived today! My cute cookieeeee! (I was beginning to wonder if the hungry snail mails ate it up on the way here.) I like the blue frosting, silver balls, and pretty ribbon. Thank you for the calorie free treat. And the card it came in was sweet, too.

Comment: Thank you for the prettier than "plain Jane" piece. It fits in well with the rest of its neighbors.

Comment: I LOVE my candy cane cookie ornament! It immediately went on my year round tree in my room. The card is super cute, too! Thank you so much for a wonderful swap!

 

Comment: Oh my gosh, I love this zine so much! I've looked through it 3 times already and each time I see something new. Thank you! And thank you for the used stamps, too. I will definitely use them. <3

Comment: Lovely zine! Thanks!

Comment: I love your zine! How do you get the pages to print soo perfectly? And the colors are perfect! I especially like the two pages with the guys-perfect!

Comment: Fun! Thank you!

Comment: I am really quite blown away by your sampler! It does not say beginner at all. You need to see mine for that! It's so intricately detailed with so much in the small squares. I will find a special place to display this treasure. This sampler swap was quite an adventure!

Comment: Thank you for the pretty "Sparkling Conversation!" I was going to remark on the embossing but it is the glass bead gel that gives that sparkle. It's really lovely.

Comment: I love my leaf! It's beautiful. The beaded edging is awesome. (How did you do that?) The background felt does look familiar. I hung the leaf on my fake ficus tree so I can admire it. I like your calendar page envie, too. I want to do something with the Halloween barn. Thanks for providing me with an exceptional Happy Mail day! I love getting swaps from you.

Comment: Love, love, love the ATC and the list of supplies & what you did with them. Great swap!!!!

Comment: I would love to go to that hotel, it sounds like an amazing experience.

Comment: I love them - they are so cute!! Thank you for a sweet swap!

Comment: Thanks for the cutest postcard ever! :)

Comment: Reading about your very special pillowcase took my breath away. I really enjoy getting to know you better through hearing stories about LoAn and Muriel. Thank you so much for sharing.

Comment: Thanks so much for the great owl postcard! I love the bird stamps too, and also appreciate your note about the birds you see in your area. Take care!

Comment: Thanks for the momentary trip to San Diego. It made me smile.

Comment: I don't have to "grow to like it" as you wrote in your note because I LOVE it already! The colors are perfect, and I really like the scrappy edges. Thank you for an awesome swap. (And thank Coco for her contribution to the envie.)

Comment: I love the colors and textures. Thank you for #3. It's a nice addition to #s 1 & 2.

Comment: Oh my goodness. First, I love the notecard. Second, your index cards are just amazing. Third, I think my fav is the presidents, but then I look at the little girl and hold her up and that becomes my fav and then there’s the swirlies intricate design. Fourth, have I said you are so special for sending me such beautiful artwork. Thank you. I feel so lucky.❤️

Comment: Thanks for the fun back-to-school themed piece. Not looking forward to this school year, but we will do our best!

Comment: This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I LOVE it! Thank you so much for the wonderful start to my puzzle!!!

Comment: Sent you a long PM about the house and forgot to rate! :)

Comment: Your insights were great for this tour. I hadn't noticed the kitchen alcove and your research into Candace Wheeler is also really interesting. Thanks again for hosting! Michelle

Comment: Your Answers are much better articulated than I ever could. The fact that you said the museum is like a corn maze is spot on. I had a heck of a time navigating it, but what a great museum! I really enjoyed looking into Dali's surreal world. Thank you for coming up with such a fun and unique swap, this is exactly what we need more of here on the bot!

Comment: Thank you for the pretty heart-themed pc. It is adorable!

Comment: Guess what showed up today? An awesome happy mail package full of mandalas and chocolatey goodness. WOW is the best way to describe it. You really spoil me! Thank you so much.

Comment: OH I LOVE IT! Thank you for the beautiful patch. We actually just returned from a trip to DC although the cherry blossoms are not in bloom. On a drive through the Tidal Basin we reminisced about the past festivals we've attended there. So your patch is really just perfect - lovely, lovely job!

Comment: Thank you! LOVE this ornament! One of my favorite decorations is the tree on a car/truck! Reminds me of when our children was youngsters and we cut down our tree every year, great memories! On the tree already! Also the Christmas card I will be making that cookie recipe! You have blessed me! God bless you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Comment: WOW!!! I almost don't know what to say, the needle book is gorgeous! The boro & sashiko influence really comes through and every little detail is perfect. Thank you for also sending along the extra fabric to add details, its like a collaborative project! ;) Thank you so much for this wonderful little piece of art, I can't wait to put it to good use and show it off! I would give this swap a million hearts if I could!

Comment: Thank you for the sweet ATC!

Comment: This is truly a work of art. So much movement and play with textures! I have never before seen the intriguing technique you used, and want to try it for myself now. Your attention to detail is impressive, and I loved hearing about your inspiration for the piece. Thank you for a beautiful little treasure. ♥

Comment: This was amazing to read, it made me laugh so much! Each new thing was like, "Yeah, I can handle that!" Honestly operatic Metallica would make that drive so much better, I've done it when my husband had an account in Stockton. I get carsick too, the bags are already under the seat! Separate vacations from my family? I don't have to get up and feed all the animals?! WHERE.DO.I.SIGN.UP. Oh, and I'll totally sleep in my son's bed, it's the newest and most comfortable in the house! My husband is the GM of the casino bank, he'll school you all day long to get you in there so he can win your money. It's open 24 hours, I'll get that train ticket money back from you on a roundabout way in no time!!! I'm gonna need a lot of beer for The Shining... I'm familiar with Rancho Bernardo, I got you for sushi and Ben & Jerry's; I've learned edamame is really filling. The Lookout is a fabulous place to see the sunrise over the lake, oh and as for your fresh cream... Well, we have to drive right by the dairy on Corydon to get to and from the casino so consider it done (I'll even get you some of the world's best chocolate milk, 6% fat and worth every calorie). Paddleboats haven't been made available at Launch Pointe yet, but I'd be happy to paddle you around the wetlands in our kayak - the wildlife is beautiful. I have done more Vegas turn arounds than I can think of to go to the airport to pick someone up and send them home - back and forth and back forth. Maybe you can burn a Metallica cd for me for the ride home! Super fun swap, I loved it!!

Comment: I got your butterfly envelope today, it's very beautiful, and I can see you've put a lot of work in it. Thank you very much! Also thank you for the letter, and the pretty notecard.

Comment: Totally awesome swap, beautiful stitching and colours. x

Comment: Love, love, love this little beauty! Thank you Allison for brightening my day. Your stitches and beading are great and all in my favorite color combination. Perfect swap!

Comment: Loved the PC you chose... and my guess for the lie is #1- playing the Cowardly Lion

Comment: What an adorable postcard! My guess for the lie is the 3rd one about your Dad calling your bff Tumbleweed

Comment: WOW amazing stitch - must have taken you AGES. xx

Comment: I like it! And its title cracked me up! (I do have to admit that I had always pictured Coco as a blonde, so the color of her contribution was a surprise.) Give Coco the Wonder Dog a hug and kiss (minus the vaseline) for me. Thanks for joining me in this fun (though immensely weird) swap!

Comment: this is amazing thanks!

Comment: I love the vintage look Nashville pc- thank you! :)

Comment: Thank you so much for a wonderful tribute. I loved your beautiful patch and the postcards I am now a proud owner of!! Lovely swap!♥♥

Comment: wow - three different prints. what a treat! thanks for sharing in abundance :^)

Comment: Thanks for the three great prints. I especially like the daisy field. Thanks also for hosting the swap and turning me into these quickie printing plates. <3

Comment: Your final set of coins is absolutely gorgeous! I love them, and their titles as well. This 4 swap series was the very best kind of challenge, and you are the best partner. Thank you so very much.

Comment: Thank you for sending not only one, but 3 lovely prints. The tree and garden prints are great, but I especially love the Eiffel Tower print. (I was hoping you'd send that one.) Thanks for hosting this swap, and for nudging me outside my comfort zone.

Comment: Thanks for the great blossom stamp sheets, the explanation on the back and even a blossom stencil! And so wonderful in combination with the deli papers. I'm going to try this once I can find myself some time (and deli paper, not common a thing we use over here).

Comment: What a wonderful stripy card! And thanks a lot for making this in my favourite colours! Love this piece a lot!

Comment: Love these circles!! 😍

Comment: Thanks for all that super oddness! It's great! Never heard of this artist before. Isn't that odd? :)

Comment: I absolutely adore the Van Gogh coins you painted for me. They took my breath away. And I am quite fond of the envie you decorated. (I will be sleeping with it under my pillow this week.) Thank you, too, for the sparkly hearts, green stamps and washi samples. This swap came on the perfect day (it was vampire day for me). Wish I could give you a whole sky full of ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥s.

Comment: I absolutely LOVE my trio of wing themed coins. They are beautiful! I was already smiling when I saw how awesome the envie was, then I smiled even more when I saw the coins. Thank you so much Allison.

Comment: I must confess to being confused. You messaged me and put in your note that you were worried I might not like them. You were right, I don't like them. I ABSOLUTELY BLINKING LOVE THEM! Honestly, you should have way more confidence in your abilities, the earrings are absolutely beautiful. They are exactly my style, and if I were choosing earrings in a store, I would pick these. I know I am going to be wearing them so often. Thank you does not cover my gratitude xxxxx

Comment: I L♥VE my celestial coins---they are beautiful works of art. And I like that you named them. What awesome happy mail! Thank you so much, Allison.

Comment: Oh, how fun to get a swap from you!! I love how you carried the dog theme through the whole swap, and of course the ATC is just wonderful. One of my very best doggies was a boxer who came to us via the local shelter. And can I just say your handwriting is beautiful? I'm jealous! Thank you so much for brightening my day. :)

Comment: Your book is awesome. A work of art! I love it.

Comment: Thank you so much for the handmade envies. I love everyone of them. 😍

Comment: It is wonderful!!! I immediately ate 2 pieces and tried to leave it alone for the rest of the day. Was successful for about six hours, haha! Thank you SO much for the cards you put in the box as well! I love Harper's birds. Thanks again!!

Comment: Wow, that was quite a "postcard". I can't believe you cut out all those flower shapes. Definitely an extra special swap!

Comment: Oh happy mail day! (You even included stickers that back that up.) I love how your Pocket Letter turned out. It's awesome. I love the tangles, the quote, the floating snowflakes, and the very generous assortment of goodies. It amazed me that even with a very open swap description, both our interpretations were pretty similar. I would give you basket full of hearts if I could. ♥♥♥

Comment: Soooo Pretty Allison! I'll have to find some of that flocking powder to try for myself. Thanks!

Comment: Guess what awesome thing showed up in Colin's mail box today....."Colin Mows" is the coolest thing ever! He loves it, and so do I. You outdid yourself Allison. I hope you don't have to wait too long for his to show up in your mailbox.

Comment: I love, love, love this ATC. Thank you!

Comment: Allison, this was such a wonderful swap theme...and I love your "x" and "o" twinchies! Now the song is running through MY mind! I hope my partner enjoys her twinchies as much as I enjoy receiving yours!

Comment: Such a stunningly beautiful pc! Thank you very much, Alison!

Comment: Thanks for the great Juneau PC. My collection that includes capitols is really of the actual capitol building; however, I love seeing the actual capitol city and wonder how it must be to leave there. Thanks again and I hope you're having a great week ~~

Comment: There really are no words to express my gratitude for this swap. Your generosity and kindness are truly without measure. The care, time, money and love that went into that box shone out the moment I opened it. I still cannot believe how many wonderful things you sent. The sweets!!!! I cannot wait to try them all! The wonderful pieces of amethyst are going on my shelf of awesomeness! and truly, there is simply too much to list here, but please know that you have made me feel so special. I actually sat and cried while I was opening everything because I could not believe that someone had gone to so much trouble for me. As you know I have been feeling very down and disheartened about swap-bot just lately, but you have restored my faith in humanity. The words are not enough, but they are all I have right now, so Thank You.

Comment: This was one of the most beautiful ATCs I have ever received. Thank you for putting all of that care and attention on your cards.

Comment: I can hardly believe how fast it got here. I love it! It's so bright and sparkly and uplifting---a perfect reminder for gray January days. I love seeing how differently we each interpret the same swap guidelines. 2-12-16---Another atc arrived today and it is gorgeous! What a lovely surprise. I wish I could give you lots of ♥s.

Comment: I find all your monoprints beautiful. These techniques are a new challenge for me to try this on the gelli plate. Also thank you for the sheet package paper. And I'm very pleased with the gelipaper, i loved it to used it on the gelli plate.

Comment: I love these envelopes and thank you for so many! They are very beautiful, lined and sturdy too. I can't decide if I like the Geraldine the pig one or the organic peas one the best! I love them all and will certainly use them, thanks so much! (Oh..also I love the chicken on the outside of the envelope you sent them in...I need to put on my profile how much I love chickens! :-)

(It's really interesting how our swaps, following the same guidelines, can turn out so differently.) And thanks for the yummy, restorative chocolates. (They came a day before the envie). I wish I could give you a hundred ♥s. Thank you so very much!

I'll be happy to drive to Paris and meet you at 6 in the moring, it's only a seven hour drive, so I'm good for that. I have asked my brother to come along, he's an experienced photographer. So that will work out fine :-) My son is just learning the alphabet so he's now re-arranging your fridgemagnets to alphabetical order, I am sure you support his creative outbursts. You were slightly off key with the Bohemian Rapsodey, but so am I.... We're all ready to have you here, cannot wait xx

Comment: Thank you so much for all the yummy looking tea! I can't decide which one I want to have with breakfast in the morning. It's a good problem to have :)

Comment: Thank you so much!! The card arrived today - and it looks enough like me that I immediately recognized the picture! You did an amazing job. I love the card, and I'd give you more hearts if I could. What media did you use? I loved the slightly metallic accents...

Comment: OMG - Allison.....this is one of the most beautiful things I have received. You did an awesome job...I am afraid mine will disappoint you. But seriously....this is one of those swaps that absolutely deserve a ♥!!! Thank You

Comment: Ohhh I always feel lucky when I get you as a partner. I love the ATC. I really appreciate the theme! Yea buddy. The color scheme is pretty -- I never think of blues and oranges but they are complimentary LOL. I really like the colored pencil on vellum trick -- will have to try that. I haven't swapped ATCs for quite awhile and I am happy to add this one to my album. Hope you have a fabulous summer planned. <3<3<3

Comment: Oh my GOSH! Awesome swap! Imagine my delight when I opened my mailbox and saw *the* most fantastic envelope, complete with a blue monkey (squeal!) and my address written in calligraphy. I knew I'd find the contents to be wonderful before I even opened it, and you did not disappoint. The prints are just great (I so need the circle Gelli plate!) and the ATC is stunning! I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you SO much for such a thoughtful and amazing swap! I'd love to swap with you again anytime! Extra hearts! <3 <3 <3

Comment: Oh my. I really did interpret this swap like someone who can't read! Your bird is SPECTACULAR!! I love the red and especially his feathers. :-) Your drawing of Benecio is fantastic, my BF was super impressed with your pen and ink skills. Me, too! Thank you for such a wonderful swap!

Comment: I've already got the cooler weather, but this IS appropriate for Canada at times :) Thanks for the rub-ons!

Comment: Good morning from a sunny Copenhagen and thank you SO MUCH for an awesome package! I love the way you wrapped it all up; didn't want to open the inside wrapping at all but that would have made the swap very difficult to complete, LOL. Thanks too for the extra envies and the lovely bling! Now to determine which envie will be going back to you... decisions, decisions.. Thanks again, anni :o)

Comment: Well! You rocked this one out! I too was very pleased to try my hand at this..

Comment: Thank you for the absolutely gorgeous envelope! I will put it in my box of mail art treasures. The greeting card you sent -- with the bumblebee on the wildflower -- will go up on a shelf in my art room. It is a glorious photograph! The stamped images, the fun Christmas embellishments, and the blank cards will all be used with delight! Thank you for a wonderful package of goodies! <3<3<3

Comment: Thank you for the awesome Butterfly on flower ATC. I think the details are amazing. Did you use different thickness of pens? Love what you did with the envelope as well

Comment: Thank you for the awesome Elvis card!!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely postcard! I LOVE big houses/mansions! I'm sure it was beautiful at Christmas :)

Comment: OMG!!! The ATC you sent me is gorgeous!! Now I am totally embarresed for the ATC's I'm sending out... When I opened the envelope my jaw dropped... The light is perfect! :-) Thank you!

Comment: I cannot imagine that this could have been more perfect for me! It is so INCREDIBLY beautiful and the subject matter so dear to me heart!!! Your talent in so many mediums never ceases to amaze me. I'm hoping to get together again so I can have a few more lessons! Thank you, again, for an amazing piece of art and for hosting such a fun technique!

Comment: Oh wow! 3 beautiful postcards! Thank you so much! I love them!

Comment: I am completely blown away by this gorgeous postcard! It is absolutely perfect in every way--thank you so much!!

Comment: I got home from a couple days away and my mailbox greeted me with two fabulous swaps from you! I adore the crybaby that you made!! It is clever, sad, beautiful, and just a little bit creepy (in a good way!) all at the same time. You are an incredible artist!

Comment: Oh my, I don't even know how to begin to thank you for this amazing swap!!! From the cute bear postcard, the oh so sweet dog stamp, and your beautiful handwriting...to the super creative way you figured out how to send me a Starbucks gift card in a postcard swap! Wow! I could see how much time, effort, and love you put into this swap! Thank you so SO so much! I can't stop oohing and ahhing at it, lol! And by the way, I can't stand haunted houses either, there's something about a man in a mask chasing you with chainsaw that doesn't appeal to me. ;) THANKS AGAIN, I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU 100 HEARTS!!! <3

Comment: I am very impressed, you did an amazing job on the envelope and it is beautiful! It is the perfect size and I will certainly be using it to store some craft goodies. I loved the "wordy" fabric too...thank you sooooooo very much for such a great swap!

Comment: Thank you for the GORGEOUS Cavallini PC. I will have to try to find some more of that style. Love the little 1989 story you told -- and I agree I feel the same way about swimming in deep ocean water! <3 OK I know you told me to remove the washi tape but I only took it off the bottom the reveal the card's title because 1. it was just so dang pretty on the postcard and 2. it was underneath that beautiful postage stamp and 3. it had your city of origin on it! But now I have removed all of it and revealed the THREE gorgeous Cavallini postcards! Thank you thank you (you sneak) for such a generous swap! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Comment: Thank you for the beautifully drawn flip-flops! I wanted to draw some too but they would not have looked anywhere as good as yours!

Comment: I love, love, love the ATC. Very clever and thank you so much.

Comment: Thank you for the awesome stamp PC!! I love all the stamps and all the old postmarks. The star is amazing :) You did a great job!

Comment: WOW Allison -- I love the postcard you sent me! I have a VERY hard time with this technique. Maybe I was trying to control it too much? Yours turned out to be spectacular! It is going up over my computer for some daily inspiration (delightful title too). Lucky me to be your partner for this one! <3<3<3<3<3

Comment: Thx A - another to add to my LDD collection! I love the quirkiness of it: The Day the Aliens Landed. lol Hugs, T (";)

Comment: What a beautiful swap! Love the notecard and that gorgeous metallic copper envy it comes with...I LOVE copper, and your homemade card/envy is awesome cute. Also love the winter photo card you used to send them in as well. Thank you. :-)

Comment: Fabulous! I love the postcard! I would also love to attend the Food and Wine loveliness. I sent out my postcards after last night's pick up, so you should be getting it soon. Thanks you!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely picture of where you live! And for a little glimpse into a local Native American language! (And let me say, you have very clear and readable handwriting!)

Comment: Your logo is awesome... just puts what I have done in bitter perspective, lol. I'm voting for yours.

Comment: Oh WOWEE WOWEE WOWEE! Thank you for the beautiful postcard! I love the colours!

Comment: What a fun ATC, and what beautiful presentation--thank you so much! The funny thing is (and maybe it's really just that my mind is a little funny...) that on some levels it does pull together and have a meaning. Again, thank you.

Comment: O_o Totally different than mine! :) Love how you did Jupiter and Mars! What did you use? And thank you for doing this swap with me! ;)

Comment: Holy Moly Allison...This fish is absolutely awesome! You did a beautiful job, and I am super glad to add it to my sea worthy collection! ♥

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful postcard! I can't believe all that you put into it. Thank you for sharing with me!

Comment: I got your beautiful atc and am so excited to find a great place to display him. I am going to be re arranging my craft space again and hope to have a display area then for the wonderful artwork I receive. He will definitely be one I want to see each day. Thank you so much.

Comment: Allison - What a GREAT card!!!!! I hope my garden looks half as good as all of these cute embellishments! Thanks, too, for the seeds - I don't have any daisies in my garden yet. This was a sweet idea for a swap series. I'm constantly impressed by your brilliance!

Comment: Allison once again your work is absolutely Fantastik. Not one but 3 different zentangles and they are all wonderful. I know I will be selfish and keep all three for myself to enjoy. I love all the hearts you used and the pendant in "The Jewlery Box" - oh my. I am in awe of your endless talents. These tangles are so perfect and uniform. Thank you so very much for such a Fabulous swap. I do love being your receiving partner. Hundreds of hearts to you.

Comment: You AMAZING cards are here! Really, fantastic job! I mean, I can't keep them forever but I can't send them either :( cause I like them so much! Will probably mail them to my mom or dad... so they will comeback here! :D

Comment: Beautiful, Beautiful Collage PC Allison. Your talents still amaze me. The postmark date was perfect and I love the cardinal stamp. May have to display this card so it can spin to show the great collage on front and your beautiful handwriting, zentangling & stamps on back. Thank you so much you ROCK!!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful envelopes!

Comment: Allison I LOVE my Masterboard Inchies! Little critters peeking out, flowers and trees, a sweet color palette. They have me itching for spring and getting back to my gardening. Thanks for the extra 3 embellished ones - they are wonderful! <3<3<3

Comment: Allison... it arrives on Friday. Thank you..I would love to learn on how to use the tissue paper if you can show me any good tutorial for me to try.. :)

Comment: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and that doesn't do your work justice. I am again so glad to be on the receiving end of your swaps. Please know that I doubt these words will even be adequate to convey my appreciation and pure joy with the book you made for me. It is probably by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen crafted. I absolutely LOVE THE ENTIRE BOOK. The papers you chose, the colors everything is so perfect and so me. Thank you so very, very much. A zillion hearts for you.

Comment: Both the inside and outside envelopes are beautiful - no wonder your postal clerk loves seeing your mail art! Thx for sending me two puzzles - fun to do and pretty to look at! That is quite the big resolution you have made - I hope you do it! Hugs, T (";)

Comment: Beads and feathers and kitties - how totally and completely adorable! It makes me squeal with joy every time I look at it! Thx for the cup too, dear friend! Hugs, T (";)

Comment: Thank you very much for the awesome PM regarding @TerryF, she is truly a lady and a great person to know. I also know she will absolutely LOVE the delightful card and candle you sent. You put so much thought and care behind it, and THAT is why I am giving you the ♥ for this swap. You are a super swapper and this swap was about doing something kind for one of our most favorite swappers on SB! You achieved that and more! ♥

Comment: Oh My Goodness!! I love these tags!! They are beautiful!!! So creative!! I wish I had that creatvity!! Thank you so much!!

Comment: So pretty :) My vision is sparkly too!

Comment: Thank you:) Always happy to inspire people to think out of the box;)

Comment: Thank you for the awesome postcard! I really appreciate your alterations. I am, however, very sorry to report that the googly eye did not survive the journey even though you packaged it so well. =( That is okay I will put on another!

Comment: Allison, OMG.... what a FABULOUS..... FANTASTIC...... SUPER ....gift you have sent me. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You !!!!!

Comment: The twinchies are sooooooooo adorable!!! Just LOVE them. Thank you so very much.

Comment: I was going to give you heck for sending this UPS until I actually opened it - such a precious and wonderful piece of art should not have chanced the regular postal system, so I thank you for that. (";) The poem and your art, as well as the explanation, are absolutely beautiful and amazing! I am going to start a special box just for the swaps you have sent to me - they deserve to be treasured and admired every once in a while. Thank you so much dear friend! Hugs, Terry xxx

Comment: Oh my!!!! I love all 8 of these inchies. Very very nice work. Love em all.

Comment: Thank you very much - those are beautiful papers indeed:)

Comment: I loved your card - very original. I'm not sure what your others turned out like but I'm glad you kept trying until you reached this piece of art. Thanks so much for hosting this unique process and for the GREAT card!

Comment: Oh I so love your handwriting! So I tried to guess whats on the card after looking on the envelope. My first guess was a tree, than I flipped the envelope around and thought: hm, maybe a fairy. Very accurate! Love all the swirls. You can see my drawing to Terry in my flickr if you want to laugh :) Thank you for the cute mushroom Inchie! Great Extra I will put to the Inchie Quilt! Thanks for hosting!

Comment: OHHH! What a lovely writing on the envelope :) Did you used stencils? I can not believe you are a beginner. These Inchies are fabulous! I hesitate a little bit to touch the spider :) How did you make the net? The alien is great too, I cant believe the yellow net stayed in the place. Very cool! You could if you like add a frame, like you take the Inchies and put the sides on an Inkpad. Thanks too for the lovely card and note.

Comment: Oh my gosh, I love the card! It is exactly where I would like to be, and I am totally with you on the cleaning:) Your idea for Paige was great and certainly something you need when moving!

Comment: Thank you for the great inchies! I like the backgrounds you created. The bee one is my favorite ;)

Comment: Oh Allison - these are so wonderful! I got tears in my eyes reading your note, about the one inchie being made to honor my marriage with my dear Tim! THANK YOU so much - I truly love both of them, but that one especially will be treasured forever!!!

Comment: AMAZING and thank you so much. Never would guess you hadn't been making these little wonderful pieces of art for years. They are wonderful. Not a spec of criticism just a ton of admiration. Thanks for the "ingredients" listing as well, always nice to know what's in a great piece of work. Your presentation was spectacular as well. THANKS for the wonderful smile you sent my way.

Comment: Thank you for the gorgeous inchies -- hard to believe these are your first attempts. The color combos with the embellishments are excellent! The themes of the two you sent pair up perfectly. I really love that wrapped thread technique. It gives the inchies tons of detail. Beautiful job! <3<3<3

Comment: absolutely lovely inchies you created... love the colors & content, thank you much! blest be ;D

Comment: These inchies are wonderful and just right! Thank you so so much. I love love love them! I can't wait to be able to put the quilt together. ♥♥♥

Comment: Very nice inchies!! I love the techniques you used.....can't wait to "make" my quilt! :-)

Comment: L O L !.......Girl i am still giggling from unwrapping and rewrapping that yarn.. My sides are aching from laughing at my DH......... When i got the box I was on my way out the door... So I only had time to open the box and left the ball on the coffee table.. Later when I got home my DH says, "What kind of decoration is that? Is it patriotic?...I think it needs some stars." I just broke out in laughter.. and said, "It's a Surprise Ball."... "Oh"... was all he said.. then sat down to watch me unwind... As things dropped out he would go chasing after beads, and buttons.. and soon it was a game and the dog just keep staring at him.. and by the time we reached the candy he was wanting to take over and hurry it up and I wouldn't let him.. Very interesting Halloween goodies and tags... so cool!.. love the keys/brads. and already drank the tea.. YUMMM!!... That was S O O O much fun.. I sure hope your sis enjoys hers.. HUGS A Bunch ... cj

Comment: AWESOME! I don't even have scraps in the shape of corgis so that is fantastic to receive. Ha ha!! Love it and thank you SO much. Sorry for the delay in rating. XOXOXO

Comment: Woooow! The ATCs are absolutely amazing. The collage is is awesome and so moving in itself and then your drawing skills are making me really envious ^.^ I loved your note, the note card and the envelope too. For swappers like you there should be a million hearts option ^.^ I'm also happy that you liked the poems by Rosenstock, he's definitely special ^0^

Comment: Thank you sooo much! The paper doll was super cute! :-)

Comment: This is just an amazing ATC!! I really love her and go to buy a frame so I can hang it on the wall. Thank you very much. Hope I will not disappoint you with my ATC...

Comment: I am astounded by the wonderful journal that you sent. I love it! It is very inspirational and very beautiful. I have not had time to fully explore it but am looking forward to taking time to enjoy a more indepth exploration of its contents. Thank you so much for your wonderful work. I would be happy to do a private swap with you at any time. I wish I could give you 100 hearts!

Comment: Just got the gorgeous fan you made. It arrived unharmed and in fabulous shape. It's gorgeous and love the colors. Can't wait to display it in my craft room. Thank you. It's amazing.

Comment: Thank you very much! I love fresh fruits and produce oin the summertime too.

Comment: Lovelovelove. The sheets turned out so beautifully! I was amazed. Thank you!

Comment: My.... OH MY! What a beautiful and generous selection of napkin transfers! I had so much trouble with this process, and you did it so beautifully.... thanks so much for sharing and for all the extra pieces!!

Comment: Your cards are beautiful and Abbie was sooo excited to get something - she loves it! She said "My first swap! Can I keep it?" lol. I think you made her day. I checked out your butterflies - I especially like the collage. (Hope your zucchini brownies were good!)

Comment: Thank you so much for the Snow White matchbox! It is so elegant and beautiful. I love the color scheme you chose (consequently red and black are 2 of my favs.). I thought all the little trinkets inside were so smart - esp. the coal/gold and sewing needle! I wasn't quite sure about the sticker bling at the bottom though (a music note?). Thank you again, this was def. a fun swap! Yeah, I did see the red sparkles and thought they were blood :-p Ok, now I know it's a 7!

Comment: Thanks for the great egg! I loved the card as well! I know my profile says that I am from Colorado, but what it doesn't say is that I was born in Grand Junction and lived there until the 5th grade. Small world, huh?

Comment: This is a wonderful postcard. I can't believe how much work you did on it. I think it's a great spring postcard and love the concept. Thank you so much.

Comment: This is one of those "extra special" swaps that puts other swaps to shame. *This* is how it's done! From the beautifully made mail art envie, to the extras (4 teabags! And address labels in the swap theme! And a great, chatty, picture laden intro letter!) But most of all, I'm blown away by your artistic ability as shown in the ATC. Abstract, yet immediately recognizable. Evocative. Stunning. One of the best swaps ever.

Comment: Beautiful card and title - thx! (";) Update April 9: I finally had a chance to see your PC "live" (I rated it from a scanned copy sent to me by DH). It is absolutely amazing - you are so talented!

Comment: Oh My Gosh! This was way beyond my expectations! The care you took and the presentation was so wonderful! Everything in my favorite colors! WOW! I love your playing field--I wish everyone swapped like you! Thank you so very, very much!!!

Comment: That awesome thank you. Debbie

Comment: Adorable! I love Dr. Seuss. Thank you so much for the goodies inside. And the card was so funny! Thanks for a great swap.

Comment: Thank you for your card it is gorgeous & the envelope. I must learn how to make my own envelopes. :-)

Comment: Thank you so much for all the trouble you went thru to get this to me. I love it the card is very unique I would love to learn to make cards like that. The bird stickers were great Birds are so hard to find here lately. The ATC was great and I do love a good rum and coke. Hope we get to swap together again.

Comment: Very pretty tags! Thanks Allison!

Comment: Thanks!!

Comment: Allison!!!! What can I say? But WOW, AWESOME, TREMENDOUS! The best stickers I have ever gotten in a sticker swap!! And the best extra surprise........your Frida is amazing! If I could give you a million hearts, I would. We can trade anytime and you can join any of my swaps! You're a keeper :)

Comment: Okay, I opened the card first like you said....but I couldn't stop at the card. LOL I tried....for about 10 seconds maybe. LOL They were staring at me begging me to open them. They were all nicely individually wrapped like little gifts. I couldn't help it....Thank you very much.

Comment: Thank you for the lovely card. I love the combo's of papers you used. The env liner really tops it all off. Thank you very nice. The stickers on the mailing envelope are nice and you have beautiful calligraphy.
