Response: Glad you like it. You can go to the videos and take your choice of ways to make them.

Thanks for the spate of ratings.
Response: I'm personally more erotic than romantic and not sentimental at all -- therefore I'm not drawn to reading or writing genre romance.
Response: I'm older and a different kind of reader than my partners in this swap. Part of the reason I join question swaps is to give a different perspective, just to say, not everyone has the same taste.
Response: I'm so glad, I was a little worried it wasn't quite the kind of thing you collect.
Response: Savor as long as it takes. I'll be interested in your responses.

Response: Thanks for the heart. Have a great summer.
Response: Teachers seem to be born to squelsch people who have ideas of their own. They've done a lot of damage.

Response: Thank you very much Sarah. I love writing compliments -- and hearts.
Response: Thanks for the compliment and for the heart.
Response: I think the quirks of email are probably worth the trouble. I really enjoy Proust questionnaires.

Response: Thanks, Felicia -- the Beston book is a very, very good one.
Response: I know about disappearing pieces of paper , it happens at my house too often. Thanks for the star.

Response: Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm so glad it was the right thing to send you. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You must have led an interesting life. Go girl!

Response: i hope you get many more pinks. Thanks for comment and heart.
Response: I'm glad the note cards and issue holder are useful.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I'm waiting to put them together -- going to us fairly wide black stripping between blocks because black needs to predominate in an Amish quilt. Should be very eye catching.
Response: That's all there is to that story -- I really don't like flash fiction much because it's just a glimpse and I always wish to know more too.
Response: That's a great idea for using the butterflies. Her room must be a delightful place.
Response: Happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Glad it was immediately useful. Thanks for the heart
Response: Sorry the heart was so small; I thought there'd be lots of hearts at the thrift shop but that was the only one.
Response: Sometimes I shop ahead since I might do two or three thrift shop swaps a month. When I see something that might be right I get it because it won't be there the next time I go shopping there. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I like destroying the stereotypes about old people.
Response: So glad you can use them. It's fun to share . Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm happy you enjoy reading it; I'm having a wonderful time writing it.
Response: I'm glad you like it -- I got my box and felt like Christmas. Enjoy.
Response: It's a great Goodwill store, new items come in all the time and I check it out once a week (on sernior discount day) always thinking of swap possibilities.
Response: I'm glad you can use them. I think we have an awesome Goodwill here. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for your good wishes and the heart. I hope you, too, will have a very good year.
Response: NO it's not Christmasy, was the only one I found not sentimental and trite -- or far out.
Response: Our sand is really wonderful except it manages to get intonot only shoes and socks but between toes every single walk. However, summer is wonderful. I'm sending you a brief PM.
Response: I'm sorry the fabric postcard isn't a Christmas one. I made a batch several months ago and it's time to put aside at least a weekend and make a bunch more.
Response: I'm glad the fabric can be used soon. Often I put fabric aside for a long while before I find a use for it.
Response: U3A is a great title. Our students don't have to be uni grads either although I think nearly all are, but that's part of the demographic around here. I'm happy the poem was moving, I feel strongly about that remnant hand.
Response: I didn't feel brave, I may have stupidly trusting of the trainers. But I knew I'd never get another chance.
Response: If you want to write and tell me what interests we share, I'd be curious to know. I don't meet a lot of people that I have much in common with.
Response: Oh good, I'm so glad.
Response: Oh, dear -- I made several and I've been sending them to swap-botters and I think I forget to put it in before I sealed the envie. I'm sorry, Maybe I'll put it in the mail separately soon.
Response: Glad you like it - thanks for the heart.
Response: Oh, good. I love to make people smile, or even laugh. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad that some of them interest you. I have very eclectic tastes and not everyone shares my interests.
Response: Sorry my handwriting gets worse and worse. I really should print these things on the computer and then tape them to a post card. Thanks or the heart anyway.
Response: I'm happy this reached you so quickly. I was surprised when the post office clerk said I could send it as a regular letter. Glad you like it.
Response: So glad the article was right for you. And glad you enjoyed my answers. Thanks for hte heaert.
Response: I'm so glad it was your birthday. Frankly I couldn't believe finding a scart so appropriate.
Response: No I haven't got mine back yet and I'm curious. Thanks for the heart. I agree it was fun.
Response: Aren't these Q&A swaps fun!?
Response: That's amazing -- was the email stuck in Spam? Well, I'm glad you got it.
Response: Too bad the magazine folded. It was a breath of fresh air and fun to read.
Response: Thanks for the note and heart. I'd welcome a letter from you; please don't feel it needs to be in longhand: I don't write in longhand (out of consideration for those who would tear their hair trying to read it)
Response: I'm sorry for the mistake - I have terrible handwriting and probably copied it from the swap-bot info so that I didn't read it correctly. So glad it got to you.
Response: I like this swap, it proves poems can be short and say a lot. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad it reached you this time. And thanks for the heart.
Response: I hope it'll be useful. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I think it's a challenge, and interesting one.
Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Fall and winter are good times to make quilt, even a small throw size one for you toes in the evening. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for rating and heart, Kooser is a favorite and I hope you read more. If I remember correctly, I taped that poem over the info about the picture on the front--it's an artist's promo PC, so if you remove the poem you'll have the name -- not a famous artist.
Response: Oh, my dear, I have hidden depths!
Response: I"m with you about being curious how they turn out. Any chance you can put them all on a blog or something?
Response: Glad you like it and passed it on. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Just glad they arrived. Thanks for rating.
Response: If you come for a visit to Cape Cod, you'll find it very, very different from Santa Fe! Enjoy your read.
Response: Glad to bring out some nostalgia. \And thanks for the heart.
Response: so glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: So glad it didn't bore you. Thanks for saying so.
Response: It was totally whacky and I'm glad you liked it. It's no the kind of thing I write usually., so I guess it was really "outside the box"
Response: You are entirely welcome!
Response: Thanks for rating and I'm glad you enjoyed the anwers.
Response: Thanks for rating quickly and thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for rating promptly.
Response: Thanks for rating so promptly.

Response: So glad you liked the poem. Indeed, I am lucky. Thanks for the heart
Response: Thanks, Denise, I'm glad you got the questionnaire and enjoyed it; and thanks for the heart.
Response: Maybe your email provider doesn't work very well with AOL.
Response: Thanks for the compliment and for the heart.
Response: Thanks for the comment -- no one wakes up famous, even Mozart worked at it (and so did his dad)
Response: thanks a lot -- hard to believe you remember a letter from years ago - does my heart good.
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it, I enjoyed writing it.
Response: Me too with the accumulation -- I still have to quilt the first one so i won't do th second - maybe it'll grow to twin bed size.
Response: To me these attic window blocks should always have some interesting scene. I'm glad you like these.. Thanks for the heart.
Response: So glad you like the blocks. I see, and marvel at, a lot of quilts I'd never try to make.
Response: I've reached an age when I don't read to be entertained, I read to get the most out of my time. I'm glad you appreciate the variety and thanks for the heart.
Response: it would be nice if you wrote back, but don't feel this is necessarily a pen-pal swap -- I always answer letters but don't feel obligated.
Response: I probably have more free time or reading than you do. Also I don't own a TV. Of course I love books. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it - this was a good idea for writing a letter. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I think it exists but the romantic stories about it make people expect something that only exists sometimes and can only be understood after a LOT of years.
Response: Glad youliked them. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for the heart Madsie!
Response: I'll watch for it. I'm finding a few questions that always get the same answer. I think there's a little statistician in me that likes to see how things add up.
Response:
chances are we will. Enjoy the book.
Response: Samson and Deliah are in the Old Testament of the Bible. He was the strong hero of the Hebrews, she the temptress of the Philastines who discovered the secret of his strength was that he had never cut his hair. She cut it. Go to Google for a better telling of the story. Thanks fort the heart.
Response: I'm glad you like them -- I seem to have many in that tonal range.
Response: I'm glad you liked them, and that they arrived fairly quickly.
Response: My goodness that package reached you quickly. I'm delighted you like the buttons.
Response: Thanks, you're a sweetheart.
Response: Good I'm glad you like it -- I have a couple of daughters so I know about the jewelry "share" thing.
Response: I hope you'll enjoy the book. I often look for books by people from other countries and enjoy seeing how people share so much even in very different societies.
Response: I often feel like a little bit of Christmas has arrived in my mail when I do this kind of swap so I'm glad you felt the same way.
Response: With no TV there's lots of time to read -- being single helps too.
Response: A first line too? All right I'll PM you -- I don't like to be given prompts so I blanked on that.
Response: The fluctuations of the mail always surprises me. I'm glad you got them and like them.
Response: I'm glad it interests you and I'll need all the good wishes I can get.
Response: Thanks for the heart and the quick rating. Gee -- I always assume people answer questionnaires honestly.
Response: Good, I'm very glad I can feel free to type to you. I hope you enjoyed the letter.
Response: You're right about DeVries -- this is a real person so I always wondered why she chose that name - I think because she was originally an entertainer in New York and it has an old elegant association in NYC.
Response: Thanks for liking them. Thanks for heart.
Response: Thanks for your note, I'm glad you enjoyed the poems.
Response: Thanks for the heart -- I really LOVE my felt design wall an use it constantly.
Response: After some 25 years in a small NYC apartment this feels like ultimate luxury to me.
Response: glad it arrived in good time and that you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I guess the letter was okay.
Response: I was partial to the cat - but to each her own.
Response: Happy new year and happy witing to you.
Response: I write it because it's a world my kids and grandkids cannot imagine existed.
Response: I'm glad they arrived quickly and that you like them.
Response: Thanks for going to my blog and thanks for the compliment. I'm glad I could send things you like.
Response: I'm glad you persevered with the handwriting. And I'm glad to hear it got easier. Thank you for the heart.
Response: I'm glad you are a baker -- I worried about that, but since I love to bake also I hoped you could use them over the holidays.
Response: That's what I like about swapping within the group -- feeling like I have friends all over the country and world.
Response: enjoy writing. I'm counting on the book coming home to me some day.
Response: I'm glad it arrived today. I wish I'd had even a small package instead of just boring stuff.
Response: Two close squeaks -- you know what they say about three... I hope you don't have to deal with more hurricanes but the world weather is getting more an more severe.
Response: When it's great, it's great -- many people get altitude sickness, definitely not great. Thanks for the heart.
Response: When the questions are good, I answer them ahead of time.
Response: Someday I hope you see the real thing -- meanwhile thanks for the heart and I'm happy you like it.
Response: Your "sew much" is a fun pun and very appropriate. I hope the tea hits the spot.
Response: Glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thank you for the rating. The book is not supposed to come back to me until it's been around enough to be full. You are supposed to join the next journal swap and send this to your partner. If that's not clear, you can PM the swap host and ask about it.
Response: Glad you like it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Gald you like it; i'm doing a lot of red, white and black blocks lately and experimented with that one.
Response: I hope you'll find the sticker idea helpful. Many happy swaps to you.
Response: Thanks for the kind words. I liked this swap for the change to put faces with names.
Response: What a happy coincidence that the card and stamp were just right for your situation. I'm glad to know it was so apt.
Response: So glad it reached you. Scrabble is a word game, not what's usually called a sport.
Response: Glad to share info on books I read.
Response: Thanks, I was looking trying for smiles -- seemed to me the swap responses could be fun as well as serious.
Response: I enjoy having a tutorial for a block I've never made, the challenge is welcome. But I realize over and over that I prefer the accuracy of paper piecing and not having to measure and sew each piece so precisely. My personal quirk.
Response: Yes, the word is leap -- my writing is disgraceful and I'm sorry, honestly, that's a lot better than usual.
Response: Oh, good, I'm glad you've got enough blocks for a hospice quilt. I'm waiting for two blocks before I turn my swap gleanings into a charity quilt.
Response: So glad you like the red - I was a little startled when I saw how bright the block was. I urge you to try paper piecing -- there is a learning curve but after that it's very, very satifying.
Response: So glad you like it. As a "wash ashore" (not a native) I'm still fascinated with the history and love the seafood.
Response: I'm glad it finally got there!! Wow, it must have taken a vacation some place like Hawaii. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad the package got to you in time to save you money. Your quilts made from the book's directions will probably be gorgeous, enjoy sewing them.
Response: I hope your dreams come true -- unfortunately Tibetan culture has been utterly crushed by China.
Response: I like the block too, in fact made two for myself -- with "arms" going in opposite directions and colors different than yours.
Response: Sharing the overabundance of my stash is a pleasure. Thanks for the star.
Response: Good, I'm glad it's useful for you. Thanks for the star.
Response: I'm glad you liked it, I did too, and made one for myself. thanks for the star.
Response: I'm glad you like it, thanks for the star.
Response: Something about it said North Dakota to me -- even though I've never been in North Dakota. Glad like it - thanks for the star.
Response: Good, I'm glad you can use it. I'll watch for it's reincarnation in future projects you put on your blog.
Response: I love introducing people to poems that are not school-book familiar, and to some of the wonderful women poets who don't get the attention they deserve. Glad you enjoyed them.
Response: I think SWap-bot's auto-system has an imp in it that has determined I'm to send you enough blocks for a quilt. That's okay with me. I'm glad you like them.
Response: I'm glad you liked the story and thanks for the heart. I think writing "voluminously" or with a lot of detail comes with growing older and having seen more, know more people and, most important, reading truly voluminously (a pun, by the way).
Response: I'm glad you like it. It's really one poem -- in two columns on the page to make it fit, meant to do just what you defined. My view is the artist isn't "thinking" but expressing visually his psychological view of the world. The viewer will feel that and the critic will define it.
Response: My impression is most men have large quantities of childish selfishness and if they're writers it multiplies. Maybe that's more about the people I know than those in general.
Response: I hope it rang true, I actually don't know anyone with PTSD.
Thanks for this and the above stars.
Response: You're welcome -- this style is really super easy. Have fun making one for our partner.
Response: Glad it was the right choices and I'm glad your son is a musician. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Oh, dear. I used glue stick and put on a list I'm printed on the computer because my hand writing is so awful. If you like I'll send another card. PM me and let me know.
Response: I'm sorry my handwriting is so bad, that's why most of the card was not handwritten. Actually I often have trouble reading other people's names, too.
Response: Imagine the fun of having a real monkey in your house ... ahm, well, maybe. I think I'd prefer a cat -- not the zoo type.
Response: It was fun to put together and I'm glad you like it. The handwriting, I know, is something else.
Response: Yes, that guy does weird things -- this was among the LEAST weird. Can't help wondering what he'll do next.
Response: I'm glad you like it -- and glad it's a good size. Thanks for the star.
Response: Wow, that got there fast! Thanks for the heart.
Response: i'm glad you like the lime -- it's not everyone's taste.
Response: It's somewhere among the trees near the upper left hand corner of the picture. Impossible to pinpoint from that perspective.
Response: Hurray! I can read Dutch! That much anyway.
Response: So glad you enjoyed them
Response: Sorry I didn't respond to PM, I've been in hospital most of a week & not functioning well a few days beforehand.
Response: I'm glad something finally struck a chord for you.
Response: Actually I had a free morning before partners were assigned and made them. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I'm glad it arrived and that you liked the package. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Good, I'm glad they were poems that you enjoyed.
Response: Glad you like it. I'm enjoying these swaps too.
Response: Sigh! I'm glad you got it and like it. I hope you wore the socks for St.Pat's day.
Response: So glad you like it. In fact, I did not make it, it's from my guild flea market.
Response: So glad you're glad -- thanks for the heart and the good wishes.
Response: Thanks, and ditto! Thanks for stopping by.
Response: Yes, I would love to read your story when it is finished. You can send it snail mail or email. I'm delighted you like my story, writing it was a very wonderful experience.
Response: I'm glad you like it -- the pattern is from a book of paper pieced patterns that I've used often by Carol Doak, it's called Fifty Fabulous Paper Pieced Stars. They are named for states. I think that one was Kentucky but it doesn't have any special relationship to the state as far as I cam tell.
Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge. I'm afraid the name of the group is misleading and art quilts aren't really what it's about.
Response: He's Horus, a God, of course -- and he's still powerful: he is the logo on all Egyptair planes. Good old gods never die.
Response: I'm sorry it was opened -- I tend to think priority packages are handled more carefully than others, but maybe not. I also have learned that flat rate priority is often cheaper than regular mail for packages. Anyway, I think you got everything and I'm glad you like it.
Response: It makes me a bit sad when a recipient has nothing to say about a writing swap. But thanks for the heart even though I don't know what you liked about it.
Response: So glad you got it, I was planning to PM and ask later today. Isn't she a fantastic poet!
Response: I'm glad you noticed it. That's one of the reason I do very few email swaps -- it seems unpredictable whose spam or junk will swallow them.
Response: I hope you'll find a house of that sort that you love as much as I loved that one. Thanks for the nice note.
Response: Happy Valentine's day -- thanks for the heart.
Response: Oh, that's good -- thank YOU.
Response: So glad you liked it, I'm glad I resent it to you. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I wasn't quite sitting ON the lion but I was very close and it was very exciting. Thanks for the heart.
Response: You can't order Descendants as a movie yet, it's in all the theatres. And if you want to read the Pearl Diver I think you'll have to get it from Amazon.
Response: You are my 1000th heart and for that I will find something else purple to send along in a few days. Thanks for the heart!!
Response: I'm happy you like it . I 'm putting another swap in the mail to you today.
Response: Thanks for comment and heart. It was a fun swap giving me a chance to remember those and other good parts of the year.
Response: Thanks for rating and I'm glad you liked the story. In Swap-bot the only way to know your swap was received is to be rated so I get nervous when I haven't heard for a month about something.
Response: I'm glad it was fun tor read because it was fun to write.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I hope the things are useful.
Response: I'm delighted you like the foldout card, actually I found some Pomegrante odd lots at a nearby store and thought they would be fun to send with swaps. And I think Ursala Helgi is a very find writer.
Response: So glad -- I'll admit I almost kept the postcards for myself.
Response: Goodness, that arrived quickly. Thanks for your quick rating.
Response: I clearly remember sending this post card because it is the only time I have had a swap partner in China. The postal clerk remarked about it too. I would have gladly resent long ago (ift was a January swap) if my partner had said she did not receive it. I will resend when she gives me her address which has been removed from the swap .
Response: Thanks for your comment. Now I have an idea how long it takes mail to get to your island.
Response: Oh, good, I'm so glad. I never made a potholder before.
Response: Seems to me that' one of the responsiblities of being older is to let younger people know life can be good at any age.
Response: I hope you'll get here, there's much besides lighthouses to see.
Response: So glad you didn't have it! Actually I took time to read it and had quite a nostalgia trip.
Response: Very glad you like it. I've posted it on my blog. Maybe next fall I'll use of the rest of the fabric and make another.
Response: Thanks for comment. While I have no more ghost stories, of course, I have many more stories written.
Response: Glad you like it -- it was a fun swap.
Response: I thought they were pretty too. Shalom -- and enjoy.
Response: I;m so glad they were the right kind of bracelets.
Response: Music to my ears. Thanks fo the rating and heart.
Response: I'm glad you like it, unconvetional as it is.
Response: I would love to visit New Zealand -and Australia while in that part to the world ... maybe one of these dats
Response: Was this the first poem of his you raad? I hope maybe you''ll try to find a book of his stuff and read more. Poets need all the help --and readers -- they can get.
Response: I'd love to see what you draw. Some photos I've been thinking of trying to do as quilts but doubt I have the artistic ability, you might inspire me.
Response: Thanks for the rating and the heart. Books and classes are both helpful for would-be writers, but best of all are fingers on the keyboard, or pen on the writing pad.
Jus doing it is NOT enough, that's why the books or classes but it's a way to start.
Response: I'm glad you love the batik -- yes, I read your profile and thought you'd like the combination. Happy sewing/crafting.
Response: Thanks for rating so promptly and for the heart.
Response: Glad you like it; I think it's important to keep a record of what you make.
Response: Yes, time is a factor. But if you really want to trave there's always a way to do it.l
Response: I'm glad you liked the mini quilt -- I'm a bit of a missionary about th joys of quilting.
Response: Yes, a lot has changed in the world in a short [seems sort, doesn't it?] time.
Response: The cummings poem is my favorite too. I think it's worth memorizing.
Thanks for the rating.
Response: Thanks for you comment and the heart. I will check out the link very shortly. I'm not aware of Eliz. Peters books but I'll keep an eye open. I'm glad you enjoyed the letter.
Response: Glad you liked the package; thanks for the heart. I'll PM and answer your question.
Response: Everytime I renew my subscription [membership] they send me a platinum quilting needle. I don't use such short needles so I sent them to some one in a quilting swap but as an extra,
Response: I'm really glad you like them. And I understand it's hard to see koalas in the wild because they only eat and sleep and usually up in the trees. Still, they're awfully cute.
Response: Good, I'm glad it's usable for you. I woul dbe just a bit nervous about carrying something so noticeable and snatchable containing soemting you really don't wan to lose.
Response: I was hoping you'd feel your swap-bot experience was off to a good start. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for your response. It's not something I share with many people.
Response: I'm glad you like them. I also have a notebook of poems received -- it's a great way to have thing I might not have found and read otherwise.
Response: craftycol was my other partner, she had no problems -- you can read her comments below.
Response: Thanks, -- didn't want to overwhelm you.
Response: OMG, I haven't had that kind of compliment in ages. Thanks!
Response: I'm sure there are tutorials on You Tube and I know there are a lot of quilting books with good instructions. Paper piecing is my favorite way to do quilt blocks. Thanks for the heart and I'm glad you like the colors.
Response: My goodness, the mail was speedy!
Response: Immediately before opening the email about this rating, I opened a rejection for the piece. It helps to know someone enjoyed it. There will be others eventually if I keep sending it out.
Response: I'm glad you liked them. Summer Day is one of my all time favorite poems! Szyborska is a woman, very worth getting acquainted with. Thanks for hte heart.
Response: Thanks for heart and for nice words about letter. Into every life a few parking tickets must fall ...
Response: The Post Office really moved along -- I didn't know they could do that! But you're not that far away. The Pony Express could have done it back in the day ...
Response: Very cool screen name - lots of fascinating history involved with that name.
Response: I'm glad it's not totally new and weird to you. Doing it freaked me out a little bit but then I liked it and will do it again.
Response: thanks for rating an heart - I think Klimt was far more interested in design than in people, sometimes the people almost disappear, as you know.
Response: I don't know if they actually use some salt water. I'm waiting with bated breath, will let you know when it arrives. My last mailing from UK seemed to take quite a while.
Response: Sorry I didn't include my user name, a lapse I don't usually make. I seem to find a lot of one word answers in the questionnaires I receive too.
Response: I love both introducing people to poets they don't know and learning about poets I don't know. If you like my poems,t hat's a lovely bit of gravy.
Response: I'm really happy the fabrics work for you. And keeping a journal is a wonderful way to keep yourself growing in a craaft.
Response: Oh, good, it's so hard to know at a thrift shop what will please. Thanks for the heart.

Response: Thanks. I'm glad you like the buttons. Sometimes the bot doesn't seem very random.
Response: Lucky you to live so close to the sea --I'm about a mile and half away and consider that very wonderful.
Response: Thank you for rating -- how funny is it to be thinking Christmas poems on Valentine's day?
Response: Thanks. I'm so glad you got it and like it. I was afraid it'd get banged up in the mail.
Response: I'm glad you like them, and thanks for the heart.
Response: Sorry I misidentified it. And I'm glad you liked it.
Response: I'm glad you feel that way about the poem. I think you'd like the book that contains his last poems, "The Serpents of September" which has the Raccoon Journal in it -- your library could probably get it for you.
Response: Did I send it without a stamp? I'm really sorry if I did, But I'm glad you liked the PC and note.
Response: I knew who was in the picture but the story is entirely fictional ... as they say "any resemblance to person living or dead is purely coincidental." Thaanks for the pair of hearts.
Response: Thanks for rating upon receiving it.
Response: December was definitely wind down time for that series of swaps. But it as fun for me and it seems to have been fun for most. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Response: Remember, there's more of us than there is of them.
Response: Thanks, Vicky, Come to the OFAP forum, I post most days, and many other people -- it's a great way to be friendly with other people who share your interestes.
Response: Oh dear, I must have pulled up the wrong swap and sent you someone ese's swap, I'll have to check. And I just mailed the Nov. getting to know you an hour ago so you're going to know so much about me it will be embarrassing.
Response: Thanks, so much Barb -- keep joining poetry and writing swaps and we'll surely have a change to exchange work and discoveries in the future. I look forward to it.
Response: No, that was a "Pass along" - I thought they were cute but I'm not really into cute and I knew someone else would like them more than I. I'm glad you do likethem.
Response: I'm a playwright -- 20+ years of writing dialog. One learns a few tricks
Response: Thanks for telling me it was electronic, I love to get snail mail and to send it so kind of ignore that part of the swap description -- I shouldn't. But I usually find out something is electronic when I receive it from my partner. I'm glad you liked the story; it was one of the best trips I've ever taken.
Response: Yes, that was me with a semi-tame lion in a rescue preserve in Zimbabwe. I haven't been to the Serengeti like Oliver. I strongly suggest either getting some of her books or googling her and reading more of her poems -- she's just wonderful!
Response: Glad you liked it.
Response: My goodness, I totally forgot about this swap. Thanks for rating.
Response: I had a feeling you might either be making a Baltimore Album or it might be a favorite design. So glad that was right.
Response: Glad you liked it; writing it was fun,
Response: I showed her what I wrote, she doesn't even remember it.
Response: I'm glad you liked it. I was such a familiar picture -- I suppose younger women will have imagine a mother or an aunt.
Response: It was fun to make up an alliterative story with your name. Hope you smiled.
Response: I thought that could happen as we're such a small group who do these swaps. I can't read through a story without making some changes, but they may not be apparent to anyone but me. Actually I like that story quite a bit and I'm glad you think it's a good one.
Response: Thanks -- I'm trying to do something different with each of my journal quilts. Some are succeeding more than others.
Response: Yeah, but I can keep a secret ...
Response: I'm back-burner-ing it -- if I do NaNoWriMo, it's probably what I'll do but I'm not sure I want to write another novel this year. I'm glad you liked it.
Response: Oh, good, I'm glad it was a successful swap. Tell the kids I said hello.
Response: I always love feedback. Any you want to give will be welcome.
Response: Thanks for your comment -- love it when my writing rings true.
Response: The flowers were in my daughter's yard earlier this spring. Glad you liked them,
Response: Glad you got them and liked them -- I certainly am happy to be near there.
Response: You made my day with all the nice words or apprecaition.
Response: Thanks, Andrea, I appreciate your compliment.
Response: Always love feedback from intelligent readers.
Response: My goodness, you have eight other works? I've just discovered him. I think I'd better Google him and find out more.
Response: My daughter from Marin county was here earlier this month and walking on the beach immediately said, "it smells different" -- we have beach roses that were in full bloom but I think it's more subtle than that. They are very different geologically too. Come see for yourself, you'll like it.
Response: I'm delighted you like it. Frankly I don't know where I got either piece, probably from a vendor at a big quilt show or maybe at a guild meeting where we have vendors and sometimes member flea markets and some members sell stuff they've collected.
Response: You're right, sometimes I speed read and miss something. Thanks for the 5 anyway.
Response: If I inspire you even a little bit, I'm very happy, I'm old enough to want to spread the "wisdom" or lessons I've learned around a little bit. Glad you liked the letter.
Response: I'm glad you like the poems. I also save the poems I get in swaps. It's wonderful to have a collection of special poems.
Response: I'm glad you liked the poem. thanks for commenting, compliments make me happier than hearts.
Response: I wrote about two weeks ago on my blog about the shell tree and posted a photo, it's the second blog , Big 7-0. I wish I could give you the link but I don't quite know how. Some people have to get to the second blog via the Calenderpages [on profile page]
Response: Thanks for your note - keep joining the poetry and writing swaps and I'm sure we'll be paired again since numbers in those swaps are rarely large. It would be a pleasure for me too.
Response: You're most welcome. I'm always happy when poetry gets spread around and people read new stuff, that's what keeps poets writing. Glad you liked my poetry too.
Response: It's about 9 x 10-1/2 --- it's actually a little smaller than I meant for it to be, I wanted 9x12
Response: Oh, gee, were you my partner before? I made about 50 of these selvage cards all at once but if I'd realized I was sending to the same person, I'd have done something a little different.
Response: Botswana's Chobe National park probably has more elephants than any other park in Africa. Trips aren't cheap but there are some group trips that are remarkable bargains. Mine included air and all. Check out Overseas Adventure Travel.
Response: Thanks, I can write practically forever about quilting, so be warned. And you were my 500th heart! Hurray!
Response: Thanks for telling me. I don't think it happened to the others but I think I should try a different kind of glue.
Response: I look forward to you poems -- I can't have too many Mary Oliver poems. The pretty paper actually came from a swap -- isn't swap-bot neat!
Response: Two pieces! My gosh I wonder how they did that. I do remember your package, I think it was just before I went on a trip -- couldn't use the seat covers in the African bush in the "green" comfort stations. But there were other places where they came in handy.
Response: carry on! You'll get there and beyond. I'm chugging away too.
Response: You made my day! It's only 7 a.m.but nothing is going to top your wonderful compliment.
Response: Sure, a private swap is right up my alley, I LOVE writing about places I've been. I don't have your letter yet, but suggest what a swap might be.
Response: I'm well settled, thanks. And thanks for the nice words.
Response: Crochetting with selvage strips is new to me -- I'd love to know what you make.
Response: Glad the envie arrived at a good time. If I started writing about Africa it would go on and on. I have Flickr photos, and can PM the link if you like.
Response: No, I won't host a playwrighting swap, few people, unless they studied drama in college, has a clue what's involved.technicaly We all read and know stories and they are hard enough to write. I'm glad you liked this story.
Response: I'm very glad it was meaningful to you. It's a subject we all feel strongly about.
Response: What fun! It was the gulls -- it's a Canadian goose that wakes me up. There IS a dead tree with shells and if you'd like to see a picture of it, send me our email and I'll send a picture. I got a pc from my partner that was just as hard and she hasn't told me which was the lie yet.
Response: Not right. I DO remember both those things. And now I don't remember what the lie was that I wrote. Darn!
Response: Got it backward. I thought that would be a good one to fool people; we'll see what my other partner thinks.
Response: Thanks and I'm really looking forward to your letter.
Response: Thanks, I really want others to find the world as fascinating and wonderful to live in as I do. I hope you get that sense.
Response: No, never had broccoflower -- sounds like a "super-veggie" that's probably very good for you.
Response: Isn' that what humanity if all about? We are afraid of the stranger and yet we must trust strangers -- let's hope there is more trust than fear and that it's returned in kind.
Response: Good to hear from you again, Susan -- will we ever catch up with the books beside our bed? Or will they secretly multiply when we're not looking as I oftenthink mne do?
Response: I've thought for years of writing a play with 4 or 5 women but I think this is as far as it goes. I'm into a major project and don't want to take a side road now. Thanks for the comment.
Response: no there was nothing but the postcard -- you are the second in this swap to have received it in an envelope. I suspect a clerk who hasn't dealt with quilted postcards before did it, normally they go through "as is",
Response: What questions? I might explain that I thought of it as a theatrical monologue, a sort of thing an actor might do to show off his/her technique
