Comment: Oh Neeltje, where do I start! Your package arrived just as I was heading to work and I could not wait to get home to open it. The decorated envelope was a great clue that you had some good things in store for me…so now I am drinking a cup of tea you sent and I immediately hung the ceramic platypus from my art shelf…I am calling him Pete😊 To mention all of the lovely extras you sent would turn into a small book, but I want you to know I love them all and instantly got so many ideas. Also, thank you for the little desk top garbage bins and adding the instructions on how to make them. The fabric hearts are so cute, I don’t want to stick them on a card…so I am going to drop some essential oil on them and use them as little air fresheners! Again, thank you and I hope we get to trade again sometime 🤗

Response: Thank you so much for your sweet words. It makes me so happy to read, especially about Pete. And such a clever idea about the hearts. Your comment makes this Happy Mail Swap one of the best. The Happy song will stay in my head for a long time 😊🎶

How nice that you have these cards to share her artwork with the world. She was very talented! I opened one of the gifts, the folded pocket with stickers, origami ornaments and the card making idea. Thank you so much! I love having these little surprises to open throughout December, so I will wait to open the rest of them. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Response: Did you get both the envelopes? That makes me very happy. I loved creating all the surprises and am very glad they will bring you some joy in the coming month. Have a wonderful Holiday Season too!

Comment: Well goodness gracious! Thank you so much! What a wonderful parcel. Even the packaging is lovely. I'm going to have a hard time throwing this one out. Yes, I have had Stroopwafels before (I have quite a number of Dutch friends) but goodness I am looking forward to having one of those later today. But honestly, the two very favourite parts of the package are the pouch and the card. I had to call my daughter over to show her the pouch. I just love it so much! And the card: You're probably not going to believe me but I actually started crying with the card. I absolutely LOVE that you honour both your sister and your father in a note to me. I am a very nostalgic woman and if I were to find a pen of my father's I would so desperately want to use it as well. Thanks again!

Response: Thank you so much for your sweet words. It feels so good to know how much a swap is appreciated. To feel such a connection with a “stranger” gives me a kick. It was so great swapping with you. Love to have another go.

Comment: WILL UPDATE WHEN THE REST ARRIVE 😘😊 This has truly been a fun adventure I must admit. From deciding to have a private swap to being slowed down due to COVID. Thank you so much for resending despite all the trouble. 💕Your series of mails have brightened my days. ☺️ Hence I felt my ratings should reflect the effort. ❤️ Your first package took me by surprise. Because I hadn't received anything in a long time as post had come to a standstill for me in 2020. I loved the handmade mask and the little tid bits of ephemera included. I look forward to using them in my journals. ❤️ After the 1st package, I began to anticipate the next one. And voila! This next package brought me beautiful ribbons and laces packed neatly with my most favourite vintage book pages 🥰💫🎉 ❤️The 3rd pkg was a true surprise. I absolutely loved the sewn folder you made for me. It's become a loving storage folder for all stamped images. I keep taking time to admire it whenever I'm reaching for my ephemera and think of you. ❤️ Oh my God, how do I begin to thank you for this 4th package. I don't think words could express how grateful I am for this package and believe that maybe my actions would help express my heartfelt gratitude 😘💕

Response: Our adventure has surely been a joyful one for me too. The regret about the first package getting lost is entirely made up by the fun of re-sending multiple ones. I am so glad you are enjoying it as much as I do. Thank you for your friendship and your sweet comment. Keep an eye open on the mailbox, more is coming.

You are truly an amazing artist and one of the nicest people I've encountered (via mail) on here. The pouch is fabulous; I am going to have to think some on what to put in it. I love the other items you included too. Take care and I hope we can swap again sometime in the future... just let me know!

Response: So glad it arrived so fast. Can you believe it only took 8 days? I think you can sense the joy I have in making these special swaps. It is truly what I love doing most.

Your thoughtfulness and kindness is very much appreciated! Thank you so very much! ☮️❤️☮️❤️☮️❤️☮️❤️☮️

I love everything...the 70s fashion book is a stunner (Taschen books are the best). I'm going to have to appreciate it visually for some time before I cut it up. And the package and insert with all the unique stitching is greatly appreciated! I was just running out of the last bunch someone sent me. Thank you again! It's only Monday and you've already made my week. 💖💖💖

Response: So happy it finally arrived. It took so long I was giving up on it. It was great fun to make the envelope, using all these different colors and stitches. Don't you think the pictures in this Taschen book are hilarious? Are people laughing over how we look today in 50 years? Enjoy, stay safe and create on ლ ✿(◕‿◕)✿ ✂

Response: Jeuhh, wat fijn dat het zo snel is aangekomen en dat je het leuk vindt. Pakketjes, zoals dit, maken,vind ik het leukste om te doen. Een mooie manier voor mij om nieuwe ideeën uit te proberen en te testen hoe ze het in het postvervoer volbrengen. Maak je geen zorgen over jouw swap, ik vind het juist leuk om iets totaal anders te ontvangen. Inzet en aandacht zijn belangrijker dan hoeveelheid of perfectie.Ik ben erg benieuwd naar jouw manier van creëren.

Being able to do that in so many different places on the planet, means the world to me. Enjoy your gifts, It was a pleasure making them and now they are with you they even mean more to me.

Comment: Wow, wow, wow! I got home today to find your wonderful envelope. Firstly, the envelope is so beautiful and I love your idea of using ribbons. It's just so wonderful to look at - I took time in opening it up. I think I will use the envelope to store my decorations in after Christmas. <3 Now for the decorations. All of them really are fantastic. That icicle looks so complicated! It really is lovely and must have taken time to create. And the two ceramic decorations are so unusual. I love them. I love them all...Thank you so much for such a wonderful and lovingly created swap. Merry Christmas!

Response: You are so very welcome, I am so happy it reached you. It was fun to make the icicle, I wanted to know how it was done, and I love the shape. So, you are welcome to receive my "try out" projects and be part of my creative explorations. Merry Christmas to you too!

Comment: Thanks you for this spectacular swap! I was overwhelmed when I opened it to find the clear pocket book, the Mon Ovurage issue, the beach animal pages, the wonderfully folded note and, of course the beautiful ATC and image covered oversized envelope! This swap deserves ten Stars and I am keeping it for inspiration! I love how you used zippers for the edges of your clear pocket book in my favorite colors! The pockets will be fun put other ATCs in! In fact, I will put all my flower ATC's in it! Thanks so very much! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry

Response: As I told you, it was a real challenge to keep away from the purple. Also, it made it a real interesting project and fun to work it out. So glad you like it all and I feel honored by the fact it is an inspiration for you too, and that you have a special use for the pocketbook. Enjoy!!

Hartstikke bedankt voor je mooie gelli plate pakketje met je leuke (ingepakte) kaart, het circus boek (ik kan ook nooit boeken laten liggen en heb geen ruimte haast meer om deze te bewaren) en je leuke gehaakte visje (ik heb van andere al verschillende gehaakte dingetjes gekregen en vind ze erg leuk, maar helaas kan ik niet haken). Je verdient voor deze swap meer dan een hart!

Response: Fijn dat je het allemaal leuk vindt. Ja, ons probleem is hetzelfde, we vinden te veel dingen leuk en mooi en zien mogelijkheden voor creative toepassingen. In de praktijk betekend dat een hoop 'zooi" dat ooit nog gebruikt gaat worden. Maar zonder zooi ben ik mezelf niet. Eenmaal opgeruimd groeit de verzameling spontaan weer aan. SB is een heerlijke manier om onze creatieve lusten te delen en mensen te ontmoeten die hetzelfde zijn. Een hele leuke ontdekking. Veel plezier toch met alles.

I do love the papers that you created, especially the pine and grass-like leaves, the rose petals and a paper whose vegetation I can't identify but involved purple flowers and rose petals as well :) The extras were over the top, including the decorated envelope, the adorable pouches, the dish towel, and my favorite -- the adventurous television host cuddling various animals. I was particularly taken with the way he adored the leech on his arm! The stickers that went with the cards are also beautiful. Thank you for a fun swap and a very unexpected package :)

Comment: How do I say thank you for such a wonderful package, completely blown away by it. You are such a generous person, thank you, thank you, thank you, I loved everything. I will use the fabric in my sewing crafts, the snowflakes will be decorating my tree next christmas, they are so much like the ones my mom used to make when I was a child. I learned to crochet just a few years ago, but don't do the fine stuff. I have knit since I was young, but as I said the crocheting has been a new thing to me. I wish I could read what it says on the book cover and the post cards, but I did not learn a second language, I spent my spare time in art class. the pictures are so nice, I love the scenes, old building are a special interest of mine. I love the old barns near to where I live now, with their slate roofs and moss and rusty old equipment that lays out in the fields rotting and rusting. Makes me want to grab my sketch pad . I will remember you and this swap for some time, thank you for looking at my profile and filling so much of my interests. Please keep in touch and if I can do something for you , please let me know, if I can fill and interest of yours I will try to recipicate. Marcia ladeebug

Response: It is so much fun to fill an envelope to the max. Your profile gave me much inspiration. Would love to see your drawing, that is something I am not skilled in. Would you care for a PS?

This was one of the best surprises I ever received in the mail :) Thank you SO much for all the lovely things you sent me, you really made my day and I wish I was able to give you more than just one heart. I love the tea (the Dutch grey is one of my favourites), the crochet pattern book (how great is that?), the little "bin" plus instructions on how to make one, oh and the coffee is really great as are the postcards. Thanks so much for reading my profile :) Have a great 2018 and lots of happy swap experiences!

Response: Great, it was so much fun to make this swap. Happy it arrived safely and you like it. Enjoy !!

Comment: Thank you so much for this beautiful package Neeltje!! I checked both envelopes and no idea why they returned you the original one, both addresses are exactly the same! But good thing is it has finally arrived and I LOVED IT!!! Beautiful paper quality (please tell me the weight)! Did you use roses? It seemed for me you did or something similar, some of the pages have a pretty flower design! Loved the botanical extra documents you included, they are AMAZING!! Thank you so much for a beautiful swap!!! â™¥â™¥â™¥

Response: Can you believe this, it only took 12 days in the end to reach you. The paper I used is 120 grams drawing paper. The other paper I cannot tell, just some paper lying around with no reference. Yes, I used roses, love the leaves especially. The flowers are probably Alstroemeriaceae and I used lose leaves of the Chrysanthemum. I am ready for my next batch. Have some different eucalyptus leaves, they turn out red, did you know?âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿âœ¿

I wish I could give you 1 million hearts. France is such an amazing place, I started exploring from the first day I arrived in Paris. I think my favorite place to go during each season was the Rodan Museum. If I were you, I'd totally go there as often as I could. Joyeux Noel and Bonne Annee.

Response: TrÃ¨s heureux que vous l'aimez. It was fun to find you as many French items as I could. And a little touch of Italy as well. A truly European package. Merci pour vos bons voeux. Bonne AnnÃ©e souhaitÃ©e.

Response: So sorry to bother you with these unopenable envelopes. I am having such a great time making them, I get carried away in the process. Yes, I wonder many times how the receiver is going to open it. But on the other hand, we are all creative people, they figure out a way , and so you did ! Thanks for the extra hearts, I store them in my imaginary box for lovely people à»’(â¤â€¿â¤)à¥

The pouch is so adorable. I love the little polar bears, the shape of the pouch, and the water resistant inside. The little bunny pin is so cute, as is the butterfly fabric. I love the pumpkin card and the stamps you sent. I don't understand how you fit so many things in such a flat envelope. Truly amazing! Thank you so much for an awesome swap.

Comment: OMG!!!! Neeltje, what an amazing package!! I absolutely love everything you did. Your postcard is so neat - I love all of the stitches and sewing. I cannot sew at all, so really appreciate the skill in others. I also love the creative way you packaged it - everything made it here in one piece!! I love the ticket you sent me from museum - I collect things just like this and am delighted. The stickers and charms are also adorable. And of course, how can I not love the HOCKEY STAMP!!! :-) Thank you so much for such a thoughtful swap. You put a huge smile on my face today. I wish I could give you multiple hearts! I can't believe that you and your family have been to both of my home towns! What a small world. I was in Holland and Belgium 2 years ago and fell in love with the countries. you are so lucky to live in and near such beautiful places. I have been trying to de-clutter my craft room for years - glad to hear you're having better luck than me. :-)

Response: Thank you for this â¤warming comment. So good to hear everything got to you in one piece. You made me smile when I put this together for you. This is why Swap Bot is so good for your healt. Enjoy!

Comment: If I could give more than one heart I would! Thanks so much for the goodies! The envelope was so pretty I hated to open it, but there was even more goodness inside!! I love it!

Response: It's so much fun to put a swap together. The thought of the spark in the eye, when a package arrives, is making me smile every time. So good to learn you hated to open it, I keep all my envelopes in a scrapbook, so I know the feeling. Holding your breath while opening it. For the unknown surprise that lies inside, and also for the sake of not ruining the envelope. Enjoy áƒšà»’(â—•â€¿â—•)à¥áƒš

I do love tripels :h) the cosmetic bag is sweet and that is creative using a piece of zipper for the finger holder. I am excited to use it :) thanks also for the ribbons and yellow button, measuring tape and clips, especially the cow! Now it is 35 days until spring!

Comment: What a gorgeous card and fun goodies! I especially enjoyed your chatty note. How fun that trip to Vietnam must have been! I am still picking up "trash" for my own entertainment too. I'm putting your card next to my sewing machine as playing with textiles on postcards is on my list for 2016. You are going to be my textile muse. Good luck with your new clock and a very Happy New Year to you too! Thanks again for the smiles!
