Response: wooohoo! I'm so glad you are pleased. I did not want to do a plain-envie journal but was hoping my receiver didn't want something super "clean" I loved that little lion zip case--I had two! This one REALLY taxed my sewing machine. It was really groaning through all those layers. Anyway....so glad you liked it.
Response: Oh I'm excited! So glad you like the postoids. I just adore using those on my mail art. Look forward to your letter.
Response: Oh thank you! I really thought they turned out pretty nice. I was thrilled with the birds on the window. I added all that snow-I'm thinking I might do that on my OWN cards! Thanks for the kind words, the 5 and, of course, the heart!
Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the package. Thank you for the kind words, the 5 and, of course, the heart!
Response: Me too, Amy! I'm so glad it arrived! I was a day late sending out my final letter to you. Sent it yesterday (Tuesday). It should arrive shortly. Let's REALLY keep in touch!
Response: I LOVE sewing my envies! Just recently replaced the presser foot on my machine and am having so much fun sewing paper. Thank you very much for the kind words, the 5 rating and, of course, the heart!
Response: Thank you for the kind words! That's the nicest thing you could say--that you would like to make something like it. Thanks, too, for the heart!!
Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked the cards! The T-Rex card is from a book called "Dinopix"....I like them because the image of something so primal against technology is really striking. I'll be glad to send you a few others--would you like to do a private swap and swap 5 cards or something? I know there are at least that many more styles in the book. Thanks for the heart!!
Response: I'm so pleased you liked it! I had a BLAST making it and will now make more and more. Love all your smash/junk swaps and join every one. Thank you for the 5, your kind words and, of course, the heart!
Response: HOORAY!!! I'm so glad you liked it. I worked like a DEMON on that dumb watercolor cat!! haha....I have a tabby and I am DEFINITELY not an artist but I thought it was OK....would you be willing to send a copy to Isadorawing so she can post it with the rest? I forgot (dumb me) to take a photo before I sent. Thanks so much!!!!
Response: Oh I'm so glad you liked everything! The notecards are new--I am a Michaels NUT because we live about 2 miles away! I, too, love bird images. Maybe we'll run into each other at Hobby Lobby!
Response: Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! I just love that little book and ordered myself another--her books are fun to "cannibalize" (weird word, I know) and use in cards, for framing, etc. Thanks for joining my swap and I'm so glad you are pleased.
Response: I'm glad you are pleased! I have TOO MANY scrapbook supplies and I love to share. Hope we are partnered again!
Response: Oh I am so pleased tha tyou are so pleased! Yes, I like to challenge myself to find all 12, and thanks for telling me about your favorites. I, too, love ALL vintage postcards. Thank you for the kind words, the 5, and the heart!
Response: Oh I am so happy that you like it! I find those miniature playing cards really come in handy when making the ATC's. If you'd like some more playing cards to work with, I have BUNCHES...just let me know. Thank you for your kind words, the 5 and the heart!
Response: Hooray! So glad you are pleased. I just found out about Oopsy Daisy.,.she's a cutie and reminds me of the 70's when I grew up.
Response: Oh...I'm so pleased that you are so pleased!! I have NEVER seen those pop-out postcards before. I had 8 of them and have already sent out 2--I'll have to keep one back for my own stash. Thank you for the 5 and the lovely heart!
Response: I'm so sorry you got flaked on! Awful for such a big swap. I hope you will love what I sent...I had so much fun finding and wrapping everything. Some of the wrapping are imperfect because my hubby was helping me..haha...he is like a bear with furniture! Hope we are partners again and again!
Response: Yes, my fish were handcrafted! I glued them to some watercolor paper and then carved the teeth in their open mouths! I really had fun with this one. You're welcome for everything. I LOVE putting packages together!
Response: Hi Mona! I'm so glad you are happy! Once I found out you are a fellow cat lover, I had so much MORE fun putting the package together! Cat-people rock!
Response: most welcome! I did pay attention to colors!
Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Because it was the ABC's it just seemed natural to make it into a book. Hope you can use some of the items. Thank you for the 5 and, of course, that lovely heart!
Response: I'm so glad you were pleased! I saw on your profile that you are fairly new. May you have many years of fun swapping here on swap-bot!
Response: That's so nice! I love to make envies. My favorite "cheap" shopping trip is to go to the thrift store, buy children's books with great pictures and then have an envelope-a-thon! Thanks again and thanks, too, for the heart!
Response: Oh i'm so glad you like it! I thought it turned out well, but then I questioned myself about not embellishing much. I just loved the beauty of the paper. Thank you for the heart and your kind words, Barb. It means a lot.
Response: Hi Rose! I'm so glad you enjoyed everything. These are my absolute FAVORITE swaps to put together for people. They give me an excuse to use my Photoshop skills! I just designed a whole new batch of goodies so I hope we are partnered again!
Response: You are welcome--that card just screamed puns!!
Response: Oh I can't wait! Pen-pal-ing is quickly becoming one of my favorite things to do! Glad you liked my letter and many thanks for the heart!
Response: You are very welcome. I thought this was a really fun swap to put together because it left a lot of room for interpretation. I'm so glad you're pleased. That foot cream is the absolute BOMB...I use it myself.
Response: You are so welcome! These are some of my favorite swaps to put together--how about you? I hope you can put them to good use. I always wish I could see everyone else's books! Thank you kindly for the 5 and the heart as well.
Response: Hooray! I'm so glad you liked it and many MANY thanks for the extra time to make sure I could send something nice. I really do wish you would do some more ATC's using different methods. I learned a new technique by making this ATC and would love to learn more!!
Response: Oh..I'm SO glad you liked it! Paper crafts are my absolute favorite--if you ever want to do a private swap--I'm in! I have so much and I love to share and see what other people get. Some of my favorite papers are Graphic 45, but I can't get them at any stores around here! It's crazy. Anyway...I'm rambling. SO glad you were pleased!
Response: Well, they are stick-ons and then I added the glue that comes out purple and dries clear. I'm so glad you liked everything. Hope we are partnered again for more swaps!
Response: Thanks so much! Initially I had the package closed with the one-pumpkin ATC--then reopened it and made the pumpkin totem pole! So glad you are pleased. Thank you for the kind words and the sweet little heart!
Response: Whew!! I'm so glad you liked them. I love cats too, and was pleased with the "cat aspect" of the pages, but hoped you would not be disappointed that it is sans morbidity. Glad you are happy! Thank you for the kind words and the lovely little heart!
Response: I was so glad to get to participate in this swap because I ADORE doing the punches inside the vellum! Vellum is somewhat unforgiving as paper goes--I feel like you need to get it right the first time. I'm so glad you liked my choices. Thank you for the kind words and the sweet little heart!
Response: Thank you so much! It absolutely does NOT exceed what you sent me--I'm STILL going through that package! I appreciate your kind words and the lovely heart. Hope we are partnered together again in future swaps.
Response: Hello Ayako! I am so happy that you liked what I sent! You sent me those 5 beautiful cat pc's in our last swap together, so I wanted to make sure your package was extra special. Please let me know if there is anything you like that you cannot get in Japan and I will be glad to send some on to you! Thank you for your kind words and, of course, the lovely heart! I hope we are swap partners again in the future.
Response: You are so very welcome! I had fun with the sloth images...I had never given sloths a second thought 'til I got you as my partner. Their little faces are so....human! Well, thank you for the kind words and the heart!
Response: Hi Louise! I'm so glad you liked everything. When I saw you are 18 years old, I was concerned that I would not get together anything you would like. I'm so glad you are pleased!! Thank you for the kind words and, of course, the sweet little heart!
Response: Thank you so much! I remade mine TWICE before sending what I made! I appreciate the kind words and the sweet little heart!
Response: I know! It's awful! I told my husband that swap-bot costs me twice as much as it should because I never buy (or make) anything I don't like myself, so I end up having to buy 2 of everything! BAD HABIT!! Thank you for the 5 and, of course, the sweet little heart! Hope we are swap partners again.
Response: Oh I'm so glad you like them! At first I thought about keeping one for me, but sent them all to you instead. I loved them too!
Response: Thank you for the kind words and, of course, the heart. You actually turned me on to a wonderful etsy seller: Puchimo! Because of you I ordered stationery from her so thank YOU too.
Response: Oh no! Now I can't remember what the big envie looked like! If you tell me I'm sure I can remember. Thank you for the kind words and, of course, the heart!
Response: Oh no! I'm so sorry! I actually sent two bookmarks plus the corner one! RATS! This is the second envelope that has been opened recently. NO IDEA what happened, but many thanks for the 5 and super many thanks for the heart considering you didn't receive everything. Was my note in there or had that been taken out too?
Response: thank you so much for your kind words...it means a lot since I hosted the swap! I'm going to host another gnome swap shortly. I'm so glad you liked everything--I just love those types of gnome images. Thank you for the kind words and the heart!
Response: Hooray! It arrived! I'm so glad you liked everything. Thank you for the lovely heart. Hope we are swapping partners again in the future.
Response: You are so welcome! I enjoy doing some designing in Photoshop Elements. I must tell you I am a FIRM Team Bill member! Eric's a cutie, but last season he was just too touchy-feely for me--how 'bout you?
Response: Thank you for the kind words and the heart....what little cards? I can't remember what I sent! I'll be sure to let you know when you tell me what they were!
Response: woohoo! Glad you liked it so much. I designed the kitty card with Photoshop Elements. Enjoy the weather in Puget Sound you lucky devil, you!
Response: Oh KayceeAnn! What a kind and fun comment! I loved putting your package together and hoped it would bring you joy. Isn't it wonderful to get a swap you are not expecting? It's like an unbirthday gift! Your bubbly personality shines through your profile everywhere!
Response: That's very kind and thank you for the heart! I would be more than happy to create some goodies for your older girls if you let me know what they like. Twilight perhaps? Let me know and I will create some goodies as soon as I have a bit of time. So glad you enjoyed it!
Response: Whew! I'm so glad! I love to sew with felt, but as you can tell, sewing PERFECTLY is not my strong suit! I'm happy that you liked the folksy look to my design. Many thanks for the kind words and the heart.
Response: WOW! It arrived so quickly. I'm so glad you liked it and I am REALLY glad I saved it to the computer so I could resend!
Response: Thnk you, Hilda. I am so sorry you were ill and hope you are better now. I am really pleased that you thought the package was nice--I tried to choose things I would love to receive. Thank you for the nice comment and the heart.
Response: haha! You are most welcome! Your comment made me start my day with a smile :+) I will tell everyone today that I ROCK!
Response: Hooray!!! I'm so glad you like it! I love mine. It is so tastefully done, I think.
Response: You are welcome!! I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you for the heart and the very kind comment.
Response: I'm not into super cute on fairies either! I had a BEAUTIFUL "dark" fairy and now I wish I would have sent him on a card....he is surrounded by ravens. Maybe we will be partnered for fairies once again sometime! Thank you for the kind words and the heart.
Response: Thank you so much! You are so wonderful for my artistic confidence. I absolutely adore making the birdhouses. Count me IN on any that you come up with. I have the Crow birdhouse on my watchlist but will most definitely sign up when the time rolls around. Thank you, Linda, for your kind words and, of course, the hearts!
Response: You are so welcome! Collage is my absolute favorite. I tell my husband I am a "hoarder" with bits and pieces of paper. I'm so glad I made your day and that you can use what I sent. Thank you for the lovely words and the heart!
Response: I have vowed NEVER to complain about cold weather again. When my teeth are chattering, they will be chattering under a wide smile! haha...
Response: It is so rewarding to hear someone loved a package I put together! Thank you so much for your kind words and, of course, for that lovely heart!
Response: It finally made it to you! HOORAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the kind words and the lovely little heart!
Response: Thank you! I would love to be part of the group....I'm going "on the hunt" to try and find it now.
Response: Oh I am SO SO glad you like everything! And I'm glad that I read your profile and switched out the map stamps. The unmounted ones came from a seller on ebay, but I've had them for quite some time and I can't remember the name! I'll look to see if I have more for you and send them along if I do. I MIGHT have an astronaut somewhere, too. Anyway....happy swapping and stamping!!
Response: Many thanks for your wonderful comments, the rating and the heart! I have as much fun wrapping packages as I do compiling the swaps! The postal folks here love them, too. Feel free to "steal"...in the crafting world, there's no such thing.
Response: What a very nice comment! Thank you so much; I'm glad you are pleased. I have SO SO MUCH FUN buying embellishments. If collecting craft items was a craft, I would be the best! Thank you for the rating and the lovely heart.
Response: Hooray! I'm so glad you liked it. I tried cutting out clothing (I don't have a die-cut machine) and it looked like a 2nd grader did it! So....Jolee's to the rescue! I know, technically, it was a "spring" garland, but it's warm enough somewhere to swim in the spring, right? Thanks for the excellent rating and the heart. I hope we are partners again in the future!
Response: Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I adore making the button fairies and wish our group was more active. Thank you for the excellent rating, and the heart as well!
Response: Wow! You are going to make my head swell! haha...(not really). I'm so glad you liked the package. When I read your profile and saw that you needed neither paper nor stickers, I thought, "uh oh...now what?" so I am DOUBLY pleased that you liked everything. Hope we are partners again in the future. Thank you for the excellent rating and the heart!
Response: Hi Rach! I am so thrilled that you found the package to your liking. Your wish list was, at first, difficult, but then became very meaningful for me to put together. I would love to stay in touch with you. I have thought of you many times since reading your profile. Be in touch.
Response: I am thrilled that you liked the package so much! I absolutely adore it when the feedback I get for a swap is like a gift back to me! Thank you for all the kind words and, of course, the heart! I hope we are swap partners again in the future!
Response: Hooray! I'm so glad you liked the package. I, too, am a fan of little kits--I have 2 sons and we ALL LOVEd Mighty Max sets! I'm so glad you're carrying the little mail art kit. Thank you for the excellent rating and the lovely heart!
Response: I am so glad you liked everything! And your comment about Inspector Mizzy made me laugh out loud! The photos also make GREAT postcards...that's how I use them. Thank you for the rating and the lovely heart!
Response: What a lovely compliment! Thank you for the wonderful rating and the heart. I hope we are partners again in the future!
Response: you are welcome! Your comment made me smile and it is first thing in the morning! I'm so glad you enjoyed it all. Like you, one of my favorite "crafts" is to collect craft supplies so I have an entire room dedicated. Thank you for the lovely comment and the heart!
Response: You are so welcome! I have many duplicates that I have collected--forgetting I had them before ordering another. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the bracelet. Wear it in good health and happy swapping!
Response: Yes! That's for your stamps. I did not have any of my own to put in or I would have! I always take my pkgs to the post office, but I thought it would be cute if everything matched. I'm so glad you like it. I was REALLY excited to do this swap and am so glad it's a hit! Thanks for the lovely rating and heart.
Response: haha...that's cute. I am so happy. I love bird images--they are some of my favorites and I absolutely adore the scavenger hunt swaps. Thank you for the excellent rating and the heart.
Response: Hi Tara! I use the one at Office Max for the diecuts and for many things (like Anne Hathaway), I just download the photo, clean it up, and get photos made at Walgreens--they always have a sale for about 11 cents a copy. A comedian recently said, "Oil! Ha! Don't pray that you strike oil to get rich--pray to strike printer ink!" I thought that was so funny. Anyway....glad you liked it all and thank you for the wonderful rating and heart.
Response: Thank you so much. I was a bit worried about the Zentangle. I do not know if I am exactly "proficient" at doing these. I do better on the black and white ones, I think. I am glad you enjoyed it. Many thanks for the great ratings and the heart. Hope we swap again.
Response: Whew! It arrived! Hooray! I'm so glad you like it.....the Twilight one is the one that got caught in the machine, so if you'll notice the Jacob and Edward names and smushed and one corner is bent....Thank you for the wonderful rating and the heart.
Response: Yes, I did! I love my Photoshop Elements! Did the google eyes make it along with the postcard? I hope so. Shakespeare wasn't the same without them.
Response: I'm so glad! Hope we meet again in the future as swappers!
Response: You are most welcome! I am pretty new to making cards but I really enjoy it. Thank you for the sweet comment, rating, and heart!
Response: Thank you for the sweet comment about the card--I always breathe a sigh of relief when a card comes out "ok", you know? Sometimes I feel so inspired, and they end up to be so duddy. I'll pray for warmer weather for Texas!
Response: Hi April! I'm so glad you like it! It is not what I set out to make either! I was the host of this swap and I think next I will try for fish! Thank you for the excellent rating and the heart~
Response: Thank you so much! That's nice of you to say. I think I am quite a bit older than other participants and I was not sure if everyone would be bored. So...thank you!
Response: I am so happy you are pleased! I felt like I hit the jackpot with the gnome and mushrooms in the same image! I had also never seen a hedgehog up close--they are SO CUTE! Thank you for the kind words and the excellent rating. Hope we swap together again in the future.
Response: What a lovely comment! Thank YOU for the excellent rating and the kind words. I always question my own work, don't you? Sometimes I start COMPLETELY over! Well, I am sure glad you liked it and I hope we swap again in the future!
Response: WOW! Very neat--great minds and all that! Thank you for your kind comment and the wonderful rating. I thought that riddle was PERFECT for swappers! And I love Frost's poem SO much...
Response: Oh, I am so relieved! After the hulabaloo about what constituted ephemera, I was concerned so I am thankful that you are pleased. Thank you for the excellent rating as well!
Response: Yes! I found a portrait of her online and created the photo meant to be a postcard. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the excellent rating as well!
Response: Me too! I just love that film and watch it every year around Halloween (and sometimes in between)....love the music at the costume party too....I did not know that "I Put a Spell on You" is an OLD song...did you know that? Anyway....I guess we're just a couple of Halloween geeks! (p.s. if you like scary films, watch Trick 'r Treat--very scary).
Response: Aww...that's so sweet! Isabella did not have any furry friends 'til now! I am glad you liked everything. I know that if I had been doing this when my children were younger, they would have LOVED opening the packages! Hope we are swap partners again in the future.
Response: Many thanks! I love when I can tell someone really took time to make the swap seem like a gift...it's so nice that you noticed and I am glad you love the images and the inks!
Response: haha...I'm certain your packages don't stink! Thank you SO SO much for your lovely comment. I am SO pleased that you are pleased! This was the ABSOLUTE HARDEST swap I have ever done! I was SWEATING trying to get 100 stamped images all done nicely--I had to stop twice in between! So I am really glad you enjoyed the stamps. See you swapping!
Response: What a lovely comment! I am SO SO pleased that you enjoyed it. I had a great time (if that's the right word to use for taking and mailing cemetery pictures) with this auction. I mailed it LONG ago, so it must have been held up somewhere in the mail system. Again, thank you and I hope we are swap partners in the future.
Response: Oh, I'm so glad you did not mind it not being a card I always have an issue with making cards where the front is lovely and then the inside is just sort of.....there....you know? Anyway...I appreciate your comments and the kitty is the REAL IsabellaSnow!
Response: You are most welcome! I don't believe I could express just HOW MANY beads I have in my house! and charms! I have sold both at one time or another so I love these types of swaps. I'm so glad you liked your package.
Response: Yes! She is Isabella Snow--"Mizzy" for short! I'm so glad you enjoyed the package!
Response: You are most welcome. I love that image as well, and use it as a postcard. I put the quote inside, too, which is one of my favorites. My father would never let me pick flowers when I was young--that's probably why I like it so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Feedback makes life worthwhile!
Response: You are most welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it!
Response: You are most welcome! And I am glad you enjoy her as much as I enjoyed making her....see you in Button Fairy Lovers!
Response: I am so glad you like them!! You are most welcome and I hope we are future swappers..
Response: You are most welcome! Hope we are future swappers!
