Comment: I have received this swap! I'll update when opened. :) Thanks, I'm super excited!
EDIT:12/7 - My socks are perfect - the pattern is gorgeous, the color sublime, and they fit wonderfully. I appreciate all the extras tailored to me - raspberry dark choice, lip balm (stolen by my spawn), notecards... just lovely. Thank you so much. :)
Comment: Nearly 50 people in the swaps each week and you got me twice in a row? I am honored. The fundraising is going well, I am just over $500 thanks to social media friends. Thank you for the lovely bookmark. I will cherish it! ♥
Comment: First, I have to say that your drawings of the bunnies are adorable and hilarious, especially after seeing your note about the stickers inside ;) The stickers, the bookmarks, the postcards (botanical illustrations are my favorite! I put them up on my studio walls as art), the sudoku puzzles are all fantastic and thoughtful. I loved your note in the very pretty card, and I received your note on the bullet journal swap the very next day. Thanks for your feedback and another great spread for brainstorming. Bonus fun fact: we use the EXACT same pen for our bullet journaling (thank you)! I have microns I love and some other favorites, but this is my daily use pen when I'm not being fancy or decorating or anything, just writing. :) Thank you for a very nice swap package. I very much enjoy your fun notes, and the way you write makes me smile. :)
Comment: Hi Sara! Thanks for the notecard and tea! That is awesome you were on staff at MI Ren fair. I'm hoping to be a part of ours next year. I have been so busy with costumes and theatre I just couldn't commit but I've recently made the decision to step down from my costume job so now I'm hoping to pursue the Ren Faire life ðŸ˜Å
Comment: Thanks for hosting this swap, and for the delightful goodies you sent my way. I don't normally even use page flags/sticky notes, but those otters and penguins are way too adorable! I love the little bees, and the washi is fantastic, with all of the designs being totally new to me! As for the layouts, your notes totally cracked me up. I love them! ♥ I like the top bar on your weekly layout, and the giant to do list as well. I have a whole huge notebook to "brain dump" because it would fill my whole journal, so that's why I need lots of space for tasks and projects as well. Your habit tracker is great! I like that you use marks for how much water you drink each day. Putting your shopping list on your weekly layout is really smart-- I'm totally stealing that idea. As for the monthly spread, I am also not that person ;). I do like seeing the little calendar view of the upcoming month. It's kind of a neat idea--I might highlight days on there that are important events or appointments so I'm reminded of them and not to schedule other stuff for those days. I like how you staggered your future log: it's very visually appealing that way, and I think it adds an extra element of separation between the months. Fun ideas for banners and such! Your bujo must be much cuter than mine! I just do whatever I'm feeling like, and don't fancy-up my titles. Maybe later? ;) I actually left my monthly title area blank, thinking I'd come back when I was feeling creative and give it a neat-looking title. A few days from the end of the month, and I gave up and just wrote the name of it. hehe. Maybe next month? This has got to be the longest rating comment ever. So much for the idea of a feedback swap, but I wanted to react as I was checking everything out, so I didn't forget about it. Thanks again for a great swap! I'll be excited to hear what you think of the layouts I sent.
Comment: Hi Sara! It was nice to find a visit from you today in the mail! Oh my on the walks winding Bodie up instead of getting some of the energy out! LOL! The lectures you listen to do sound like great conversation starters! I listen to books on tape, but stories, so nothing much to chat about with that! LOL! Congrats on completing your first level cert for knitting! That had to make you feel great, since it sounds like something you enjoy! Thanks for the well wish for JT! We are proud of him and hoping he finds a job he enjoys as well! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: Thank you so much for the Sentimental Circus Memo pad. I love it so much! I really appreciate that you spent so much to send it to me. I would give you another heart if I could!
Comment: Ahah, what a happy little parcel in my letterbox today! I love the lorikeet you drew for me, that put a huuuuuge smile on my face. And these granny squares are great, so squashy and nice! Thanks so much. Now hopefully my parcel gets there soon...
Comment: Thanks for the great notecard. 😋 I love what you did with the envelope and the notecard and postcard were awesome as well. I checked out www.mincingmockingbird.com and it had some really cool and interesting stuff.
Thanks,
Nathan
Comment: You're really good at zentangles. I really like all of the designs you used. Some of them are more difficult than they look, but you nailed it!
Comment: Whooo! Thanks for the tea! I will love these! I know Celestial doesn't package their teas in individual packets; I will look for that in the store. Thanks again and I hope you have a good week as well!
Comment: Thank you for the great selection of cards and the awesome extra tea too! And so cute cat drawing in the envelope too ♥♥♥♥

I LOVE IT ma'am!!
Wonderful job!!!
Thank you!!!
Looking forward to swapping with you again in the future!!! ;)
Comment: Hello Sara,
Thank you for the 6 postcards you sent me for the Postcards in a Envelope swap. They will all be a nice addition to my Postcard Collection. I especially liked the postcards that were to be colored. I also liked the Renoir postcard.
How is weather in your area? Our weather has been all over the place. Today it is 48 degrees and by the middle of the week it will be 80 degrees.

Comment: thank you for the sweet note on my postcard, the prayers mean a lot :) i also loved the postcard itself, the large state name ones are my favorite to collect. have a great weekend!
Comment: Loved the vintage Michigan Letter State PC Sara! I moved to Michigan on a whim in 1998 and moved to Rochester Hills! So i was not far from you in Ypsilanti! Went there too! Perhaps you were there and we crossed paths! One never knows! Isnt this fun? Glad that you are swapping as i am new too! Hope we can swap again sometime! Enjoy!
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful retro-style kitchen card, calligraphy, vine drawing, and description/recipe of hrupka! One of my good friends is Slovakian, so I am pretty sure she has shared hers on Instagram :) I would love to try it -- looking up recipes/pictures of it made me really hungry :) Hope you're having a good week!
Comment: Love the elephants! You did a nice job on the back, I love hoelw flat it is, I think my finished backs get a little bulky. Pretty material, too. Thanks for the corner orgami bookmarks. I've seen a pattern for cross stitched corner bookmarks but haven't tried it yet. Maybe I will host one in the future one day.
Comment: Oh man, I've been wanting to watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I love Terry Crews! Thank you for the great postcard, I love what you did with the washi tape, I'm going to have to steal that!
