Comment: Haven't opened the wrapped package yet gonna try to hold out til Christmas, but Squealed with Delight at the 2 pattern folders of Crochet Fridge Magnets you sent.. See my Smile ! ! ! Thank you so much ! ! I haven't swapped with you in a Long time.
December 26 - Love the embroidered Linen dresser scarf you sent me - I just opened it... love the crocheted edging and all the work the maker did. Thank you and Hugs and hope you had a Merry Christmas.. ! ! !
Comment: Thanks for the scarves, Joan. I'm really a scarf person! I lived in Cazenovia for nearly 20 years and the Thift stores are a new thing (I haven't lived there for the past 30 years).This is the season of glorious leaves there -- enjoy.
Comment: Thank you so much - I put the wrapped gifts in my stocking, but did open the extra! You're right - it's not copper. I think it's brass. Still, it was cool! **Update** Thank you so much for the very cool copper cookie cutter AND the Yankee votive - one of my favorite scents!
Comment: Joan, thank you so very much for my presents. I cant wait to open them in December. I "do" have a large tote bag for these type of swaps,,,,so no worry in squeezing your presents in. Its my poor regular christmas stocking that is already bulging. I actually open 1 present a day throughout December so Christmas lasts for me. I love it :-) Thank you so much for being part of my joy. Have a blessed day.
Comment: Hi Joan I received my package and I will write you about the stocking suffer at Christmas when I open it. Thanks so much for the stickers - they will come in handy. Hope we swap again sometime soon. Pat
Comment: Thanks for your lovely recipe review! Substituting zucchini for the apples sounds really interesting-- I'll definitely be trying this dish soon! :) I also loved that you included photos of each step! :D
Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday present for Noah! He was so happy! I really appreciate you thinking of him and wish I could give you a hundred hearts! Take care and happy swapping!
Comment: What an exciting package! The kids were very excited about the carefully chosen (!) books and the goodies. The orange and apple cozies were adorable and my daughter was entranced -- "they are so cuuuuuute!" The fabric is really interesting and I like it all. Thanks so much! Now I am feeling inadequate, with the crude drawing of a catapult kit. Next time we swap I will sent a catapulting ballerina playing the bagpipes, promise!
Comment: This is a fun swap. Thanks for the sock and note (I lived near Syracuse for about 14 years so I know about cold feet!). Thanks for the bag of buttons, I especially like the big silver ones.
Comment: WOW- I am going to come back to rate when my son gets back from his trip and allow him to open up all the packages! What fun, thank you sooooooo much! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Comment: Hi Joan! Thanks for the many awesome doilies! I feel a little bit spoilt! I will surely find a great purpose for them. Have you seen the tutorials on how to make a lamp out of doilies, I want to try that and yours will be great contribution to that! Thanks again!
Comment: What a great package! I love the garland and it fits perfectly across my kitchen windows so I can admire it every day. Thanks for the little extras--love the bookmark. Hope to start a new book worth marking, beside my boring textbooks!
Comment: I can't wait to try the Zucchini Soup, although I put zucchini in a lot of my soups. Now, I have to admit that I have never used Bulgar, is it like Barley?
Comment: Thank you so much for the 2 beautiful bookmarks! I love the weaving technique! I'll be choosing my next book to read soon and one of these will be keeping my place!

I wish I could give you a hundred hearts! You truly made my Christmas wonderful!!!! I just adore the apron, you did a fantastic job on it. Everything was amazing. Thank you for helping to make this the best Christmas ever! {{{Hugs}}}}
Comment: What a wonderful envelope! It will take me a long time to go through all the delightful handmade envelopes, papers, book marks, stamped images .. thanks so much! I especially enjoyed the Escarole Monster, the vintage book pages, the shell pages and the little bird-man :) Love the kale poem, too -- I tried this once with Lacinato kale, I should try it again. I'm lucky that my kids (usually) like it. I will compost your riddance, I like that idea, I have some nice nitrogen to throw on it in the form of chicken poo, it won't last long!
Comment: Thank you for for the TWO message clips. So nice of you to send an extra. I really appreciate you looking at my profile and creating something that matches my interests. I also appreciate your note. I am going to look for the book you suggested as soon as I get home to my Kindle.
Comment: Thanks for the great sounding recipe....I'm sorry about being stuck with me so often!! I've been doing serches for crockpot recipes and finding some great ones to try and to pass to my partners.
Comment: Thanks for the recipe. As soon as I finally get a day to myself for just baking I'm gonna try all my new recipes...well maybe three...don't want to overwhelm myself...lol. ^_^

Comment: What a perfect package! The weaving booklets are so cool, and your bookmark is wonderful. The spool knitters are perfect for me...just the most awesome package I have received in pretty much forever. Thanks for swapping!

Comment: Thankyou for the lovely selection of buttons, and the extra ones! You found a really nice assortment, rather different to those which we usually can find in the UK, so they are lovely to add to my button collection. And thanks for using the bubble envie so that they arrived safe and sound through the mailing machinery. Hope we will be swapping again :-)
Comment: Joan, thanks for the great recipe. It's very different then any of my "usual" recipes and sounds delicious and easy. I buy pork roasts all the time and cut them down to size and freeze them. I am forever making pulled pork, this will give me something new to do with them, the family will be thrilled, LOL! Thanks for the extra cards, and I absolutely adored the handmade envelope!
Comment: I grew up in Eastern NY and have never heard of a beef on weck sandwich but it sounds delicious. I went to school at Le Moyne in Syracuse so I do know all about salt potatoes!

Comment: Please tell Ana that Owen's favorite bookmark was the flask she made! It's soooo cool! He loved the rest as well and was so excited to get a package! He reads several books at one time on occasion, so the bookmarks will come in handy! Thank you so much for your generosity and for the fun!

Comment: Cute creatures, and I love the color! How in the world did you manage to color them? Glad you had some fun playing in the snow, and sorry for the delay in rating. :)
Response: No problem with the delay. We colored them with food coloring & water in a spray bottle. Unfortunately it didn't last long at all. It was significantly faded by the end of the day. I'm glad I got the photos I did.
Comment: Great bag! It goes well with the fruit / veggie ones that I already have ... and now I have peas! And thanks for the tea; you're so very thoughtful :) Thanks for participating in my swap!
Comment: Thanks for putting the info in the body of the email *AND* including the PDF for easy printout for my files. I look forward to trying the recipes.
Comment: I was so surprised to receive this so soon! Thank you! I love the fabric you used with the brown/pink stripes and hearts. I can relate to the sewing issues...I gave up on my machine and I just do them by hand now. I'd love to do a daughters swap!
Comment: Thank you so much for the great potholder you made for me. Please tell your daughter that I love what she did with the colors. I love EVERYTHING you sent; your grandma is to be commended; I don't know how she made this scrubbie but it is awesome. Thanks so much for swapping with me:)
Comment: Hi! Thanks for getting my fave, Cadbury chocolate :) I didn't get a note from you, maybe it fell out? If not be sure to do that for future partners, sometimes it's hard to tell where it came from! Thanks again!!
Comment: I have wanted one of those scrubbies for a very long time. I even tried to crochet one, not my thing. Thank you so much. Oh and the Frankenstein duck is fantastic. Great goodies.
Comment: I LOVED going through your package!!! You were so thoughtful in picking out these items. I came down with the flu yesterday, so it was especially nice to open these wonderful treats today. Thank you so much! The robots ARE here :)
