I am happy to see another member on here. Not that it matters. But we have swapped a lot in the past so it is nice to see that connection.
Response: thanks so much for appreciating the story. I realize that I have told this to only a couple people. I don't have the painting hanging where people outside my family see it. So it is very personal for me. Thanks.

Response: Thanks and I am so glad thar you got the postcard! It is fun to see how long it takes for a postcard to reach its destination.
Response: I am glad you like the postcard. I am also happy to hear you like Vegas. Many people don't care for it. I probably would be one of those people if I didn't live here. I prefer quiet calm more rural living. Anyway... see you in future swaps.
Response: Thanks. That does sound so disgusting! It was fun to try and come up with those.

Response: Thanks so much. I had been hoarding them for a couple years and I am glad to finally have a reason to use them.

Response: Thanks a bunch. I love these swaps so much!
Response: you are welcome. I am glad you received it!
Response: My mom bought us knock off cabbage patches the first year because in our small town you couldn't get them in the store and no chance to order them from Sears Robuck or JC Penneys.
Response: I often worry that I am not doing very well as a mom. Comparison is the thief of joy. Right?!?! I need to keep just doing my best.
Response: Ahhh thanks so much. I don't watch much on You Tube... mostly just Instagram reels. I tend to just search through the You Tube feed for junk journals and I go down the rabbit hole. I am a Patreon supporter of this lady....

Response: 5 stars for a giveaway!!! ;)
Response: Thank so much. Yes... I wonder what that creature is. It is cute and ugly too.
Response: Oh I am so glad you got it and that you liked it. I was nervous that maybe you would think it was strange. I am very much into miniatures and so this was something that I wanted to create. I am glad you appreciated it. I need to make one for myself now. We got the tooth fairy as kids but only a quarter was ever left behind. I hope they host another of these swaps so that I can make other things in the future.
Response: You are welcome. It was a bit creepy. Sorry.
Response: I had fun creating it. So much fun to make up stories. Thanks!
Response: Yes, I noticed that we do have a lot in common! I really enjoyed learning about my partner. I did enjoy making that page for you. I would host it again if there was a guarantee that I we could all get new partners. But with swap-bot you can't do that. Bummer.
Response: Thanks a bunch.
Response: Ahh thank you so much!
Response: Oh thank you. I love having you all participate in this swap. It is a great way to use our ephemera stash. Please join us for future rounds.

Response: Oh yay! I am so glad that you liked what I chose to send you. I need to order some more ephemera because I am running low. I have like one of many things but I like to have duplicates so that I can hold on to one myself.
Response: Thanks. I appreciate it. You are welcome. Have a great day!
Response: You are welcome. Thanks for rating promptly! Have a beautiful day!
Response: Thanks so much. Thanks for joining these rounds.
Response: ahhh thanks so much. That makes me so happy!

Response: Ahh thanks. It was good for me to write it out. Thanks for your support.
Response: Aww thanks so much. I loved the swap too and was so happy about all that I received from my partners too. I added all the pieces into my ephemera folio.
Response: I am excited for the next one too. I had so much fun assembling the booklet of those wrapping papers. I adjusted the years for the second round to be Pre 1970 since there were some requests. So.... I may be digging a little deeper for those things.
Response: Thanks so much! I am really obsessed with the 60's and 70's ephemera. I love it so much. I am glad you like what I picked out for you. Thanks!!!
Response: You are welcome. It is always interesting to read what is on the back of the postcards. Thanks so much and have a lovely week.
Response: I love hotel pc's. I think they may be my favorite. Glad you got something new.
Response: Oh thank you so much. It would be amazing to visit there!!
Response: You are very welcome. My favorite part lately of these swaps has been to use my collection of older postage stamps. I have so many of the smaller denominations that I find it fun to fit the correct amount to cover the shipping. I love seeing old stamps on mail when I receive it. Those usually are the postcards that I end up displaying and putting somewhere where I can enjoy it.

Response: Yay so glad you got them. Thanks!
Response: Thanks so much. I really loved creating this pocket letter. I had been hoarding those letter stencils and finally just knew that I needed to use it on THIS project. Glad you liked it.

Response: Thanks so much. Have a blessed day!
Response: WOW. I haven't gotten a star in a long time! Thanks so much! :)
I did have a hard time squeezing the sentences all on there. But good challenge none the less. Thanks for joining the swap.
Response: Thanks so much. I try and make these journals as personal as possible because I want them to be saved by family when I am one day gone and my thinking is that they will value them more if there are photos and personal stories. Thanks so much!!!
Response: Thanks! The postcard that I sent you ended up being the same postcard that my partner sent me! I was so happy since I liked the Lego one and wanted my own copy. :) Thanks for the rating and ...... graham crackers are a great breakfast!
Response: Ahhh thanks. It was a lot of fun to make and I love it when things are sticking off pages. I tend to like when my closed albums are fluffy on the edges.
Response: Ah thanks so much. I love these swaps so much.
Response: Thanks so much! I added that coupon at the last minute since I felt the page just needed something extra! Thanks for joining these swaps.
Response: Ahh thanks. My kids are all teens and young adults so when I am not working my mind tends to come up with all sorts of ideas and I want to make things. Of course, I have to share them because I just find it is so much more fun to share than just keeping it to yourself. I hope you continue to join the swaps!
Response: You are welcome. I am glad you joined us this round. I look forward to seeing what you come up with as well! Thanks so much!!!
Response: Thanks so much. I have had that ad for awhile and hated to ever use it. So I only taped down one side so that I could flip it up to read and ooh and ahhh over the prices of the clothes. Thanks for joining the swaps!
Response: Ahh thanks. I had so so much fun creating this for you guys. I have lots of ideas for October and it will be quite different.
Response: Thanks so much. I had so much fun going through my ephemera drawers and picking out a collection of vintage school bits and fall stuff. That red plaid was a swatch of fabric that I had and just laid on the bottom since I wanted to fill that space. I hope we can get more to join future rounds. It will be fun to continue to see what ladies come up with since each of us have our own style and method.
Response: Thanks. I almost find myself creating these short stories in my head with every book that I read. Thanks so much and I hope that we all continue our love of reading and discovering new books.

Response: Thanks so much and as always I love your stamps and postcards you send me. I am so glad that you and I are paired up so often.

Response: Thanks so much. I love old looking postcards. I learned a few years ago that the pyramids are just on the outskirts of cities and big population centers. That is so crazy to me.
Response: I am so glad that you liked how I did the pocket letter. I only started making them this year and have explored how to make them unique and interesting. It is so much fun to try new things and see what I come up with.
Response: Thanks so much. I really love making zines. I appreciate you joining this swap.
Response: Oh cool. I am glad it made it. Thanks!
Response: I love incorporating photos into my creations mostly because I know that family members are less likely to throw them away after I am gone IF they see themselves in it. :)
Response: I hosted a swap of palettes and it was so fun to see what everyone included. Thanks so much for the rating. Have a great day!
Response: That is true. I think that I may go ahead and buy the Rockport one online. I really loved that one a lot! I can never leave a cool place without a tshirt. Thanks for the rating!

Response: You are welcome. It was hard to find a pc that started with an I. I have so very few. Thanks for joining this swap.
Response: I have just the bunny, hedgehog and bear families. I also do not have much of the accessories. It is one of my newer collections. I would like to collect the mouse family but haven't bought them yet. It sounds like you understand the desire to collect things you love.
Response: Thanks. It was simple but fun!
Response: You are welcome. When I saw you love her I had to send it to you. You are very welcome.

Response: Thanks so much! I struggled with how to do that barcode. I wanted it not to be too overpowering. I also debated about whether it was worth it to try and incorporate the "list" of items for the swap on the actual layout page. Thanks so much you are so kind and very encouraging!
Response: Oh gosh. I thought I had. So sorry! I will figure it out for future swaps. Thabks so much!
Response: Thanks! I am also excited about the next series. I love having a few different filled junk journal type albums. I have a few different ones always in progress.

Response: Thanks so much!
Response: Ohh you are so sweet. Thanks so so much! I have just enough pages left in my book to finish this year.

Response: You are welcome. Road trips make the best memories! We laugh about some crazy stuff that has happened!
Response: ahhh thanks. I am having so much fun with these I have already gotten ahead and made the layouts of all the rounds that have been posted.

Response: I wonder how many people have been to all the U.S. National Parks. I hope to before I die but who knows... big goal to have! Thanks for the rating!
Response: Ohhh thanks so much. I always wonder if my pocket letters are liked or not. Everyone has such a different style and the guidelines are usually open to interpretation so I never know if I meet the expectations. Thanks so much and I am so glad that you liked my pocket letter. Maybe we will be partners again in a future PL swap.
Response: Thank you!!! I am glad that I was able to write it down to document for future ME. Thanks!
Response: Thanks so much. I am still trying to decide how to make this work for me personally. If you have any suggestions to make this better or things you would like to see please let me know. If you feel there should be more direction or a theme or more items to scavenge for PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Response: Yes.... we returned to visit Spring Break of 1989 or 90. We had a new vehicle this time... a Dodge Grand Caravan van. It was a much easier experience... plus we went down to La Paz.

Response: Thanks so much. I joined the swap not sure if I really would enjoy it or not, but I had a lot of fun exploring both partners neighborhoods. I really want to get to Chicago. I hope my husband eventually will travel there for work and let me go with him. So many things to explore.
Response: Thanks for the sweet words. I wanted to share the world and National news without the page feeling too political or divisive. I don't ever want to offend a swap partner so I wondered how to go about sharing. I hoped Zelensky was a person we all feel equally good about. Underneath him in the stack of the top 6 news events of this week are photos pertaining to the news. I was looking at my Smashbook and saw that I am almost halfway through filling the pages!!! So excited about that!!! Which means I will be able to start a new one probably in 2023 IF I do some single page layouts over the next few months. We'll see if that is even possible. 😀
Response: Sorry. I have a lot of ugly postcards. Take care.
Response: Thanks. It was hard to only share a few bits. I would want to share so many things.

My husband is giving me a few hours of a housecleaning service as a gift so I am getting a deep cleaning of the main living area and 3 baths. I am excited for that!
Response: I am so glad you got my zines. I have swapped zines with you for so many years and I worried that I may have sent you one of my zine already so I tried to get you some of the newer ones.

Response: I am glad you got it. Thank you. Thanks for joining these swaps.
Response: You are welcome. Thanks for swapping.

Response: You are welcome. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. Keep warm.
Response: Thanks so much! I have a really eclectic mix of zines. It is so much fun to decide what to create a zine about.... I love food so that tends to work its way into a lot of zines.

Response: Thanks. I grew up NOT in a game playing family, but married into one. So it has taken some effort on my part to pull out the games and play. We do have some favorites so that helps. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much. I have enjoyed this swap so much and will treasure these zines about this strange unique time in this time of change in the world. Craziness!!
Response: Ahhh thanks so much!! Thank you for sharing that and I am so glad you joined this swap.
Response: Thanks for joining!!!
Response: Aahhh. Thanks so much! I appreciate your approval! See you around!
Response: OH thank you! I tend to use strings on our wall maps to mark out routes. I enjoy marking things up. Thanks and hope to see you in future swaps.
Response: Yay! I am so glad my first Cutie got my envelope. I hope you enjoy getting fun mail... because it can be super addictive!! Thanks :)
Response: Speaking of Michigan I was super super close to buying our family plane tickets to Detroit since they were almost the cheapest location from Vegas east of the Mississippi.... and then we scored on tickets to Boston. So... Boston won out because we have ancestors who fought on Bunker Hill and came over on the Mayflower. We love doing family history.
Response: Thanks. I hope you can get somewhere eventually. It seems especially hard to stay home after a year of Covid. We try to take a long family trip once a year and so we have felt deprived since summer of 2019. Best of Luck and stay safe.
Maggie
Response: Thanks. I have to say that our postoffice has some nice stamps that they tempt me with to purchase. Rather than the ones that they always seem to carry.
Response: Thanks so much. It is pretty amazing how different our experiencs were this last year. But it is kind of awesome that two people who have never met have shared some common feelings. Take care. Stay safe. Maggie
Response: Thanks so much!! I loved learning about the year I was born and the year that everyone else was born!!
Response: This is a fun swap. I hope to remember to join every single round! Thanks for the heart.
Response: You are welcome. I am just glad it arrived!! Happy day!
Response: Thanks! I just got home from Target and got some money pulled out to get some treats for my kids. I loved this theme. I have more juicy gossip too!
Response: I am so glad that you liked what I chose for you. That was a fun package to put together. I am planning another summer journaling project... so many things going on in this brain of mine! Thanks for the heart!
Response: It has been such a rough year for so many people. I know it could have been much much worse for me personally which is why I just count my blessings. Each day is truly a gift. I miss big trips... but until those days are back... I will be happy with my family staying in watching Netflix and eating dinner around the table. Together.
Thanks so much for the heart!
Response: So glad that you got them. I was worried they were lost. I picked out.ones that matched your profile. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am so sorry that the emails kept NOT going through. I really struggle with junk journaling still and am hoping that by doing it more often I will just get better with time. I am still trying to figure out my style. I have a long way to go until something feels right. Thanks.
Response: I am so happy you have joined us! Thanks so much for the rating and glad you liked what I chose for you!
Response: Thank you so much. Every layout in my Smashbooks looks like a totally different style and they don't have any flow to them. For this layout it was just photos, a postcard and EPHEMERA. Thank you for joining this swap and the good rating!
Response: I agree. Thanks for the heart! And I hope each week gets better and better for you!
Response: It is always kind of hard for me to nail down one idea for a zine. I have a head swimming with thoughts. I can't wait to see what it ends up looking like when it is filled in. Thanks for hosting this swap!
Response: You are welcome. I loved getting all those stamps for my mail and I really enjoy using napkins!! You are welcome!
Response: That was one of the most challenging but hard swaps I have ever done. I love it! I hope she hosts it again!
Response: I am so glad they finally arrived. I sent them to all of you before leaving on a trip for a week to Hawaii. I mailed them all at the same time and then kept NOT seeing any of you saying you received it. I was worried the post office lost them all. Thanks you for joining this swap! I love using napkins as background on junk journal pages.
Response: Sending prayers to you all!! Thanks for the nice message. I hope you join us again!
Response: Awesome! Thank you! I didn't really do much on IG UNTIL I began sharing swaps on there. And now i LOVE IT!
Response: I was the same kind of fan and I hosted big movie release parties for big groups of girlfriends.
Response: Glad you got it. We just got home yesterday from Hawaii and boy are we exhausted. Wearing masks in such a humid climate is exhausting. We are so tired and drinking a lot of water. It was a great trip with a lot of beautiful scenery and shaved ice!!
Response: Thanks. I know my idea of ugly is different than others. I hope you enjoyed it. :) Best wishes. Maggie

Response: You are welcome. Hugs.

Response: I sure hope you and your wife can get back out on the road. As more folks get vaccinated I think things will really start to open up. I already feel safer here in Vegas as the older population, teachers and those in the service industries are being vaccinated. You must have a huge collection of postcards. I am quite curious as to how many you have now. Thanks for the heart.

Response: I love reading your profile. So many fascinating things you have done in life. Your.website with recipes is very cool. I joined Swap-bot in 2008 and have had an off and on presence here and seen you through the years. We have swapped a few times in the past. It is always nice to see familiar names when I came back after a long break.
Response: When I read your profile I was pleasantly surprised at all that we have in common. I would love to do a letter exchange with you. How would you like to work ir? Make it official with a private swap we sign up for or more casual with some back and forth mail? I am good with whatever you would like!😁
Response: Thanks so much I am so thrilled to do these kinds of swaps!
Response: Thanks so much for joining this swap. I seem to have a lot of PC's that I think are ugly. It was good to have a way to get rid of a few of them.

Response: I sent you a letter yesterday. It has been years since I had a penpal. I am excited to find someone who has so many of my interests.
Response: Thanks so much!!! I appreciate you letting me resend! Have a blessed day.
Response: I have given away my dioramas to my relatives who appreciate those kinds of things. I prefer using dollhouse furniture that I can buy and then accessorize with things i make or purchase handmade by others. I know the asian bookshop you are probably talking about. I keep seeing it pop up on ads since I look at so many miniature websites... I would like to buy it as well. For now I will just focus on doing one room scenes. I hope your circus ferris wheel will work out. We will have to keep in touch. I am always on the lookout for other people that love creating things in the small scale.
Response: Hawaii was not on my list of places to visit for most of my life. But now I love the place!!! Thanks!

Then maybe in a later swap if I don't get you as partner you could send me a copy of yours. :)
Response: I am so glad that you liked that zine. I am on #4 in that fairy series and I think I may go to #20 as I develop the charactors.
Response: Thanks so much and thank the fairies of Whitebeam for attending Market day. Their wands were the talk of the town for weeks. The fairies of Ball's Pyramid do know how to work magic, but the wands were so lovely and mystical that many of them bought one.
Response: Out of all the zines that was my favorite one to create. I had so much fun coming up with each business and info. I appreciate the heart. And I'm so glad that the twins did well at the fair.... the girl with jet black hair still talks about the cute boy who sold her the beautifully carved flute. Fine workmanship!!!

Response: I am so glad that you liked the zine. I can't remember if I sent you the first or second one in the series. I also sent you artiststamps that go along with my latest fairy passion. You should get them today.
Response: Did I send you the zine about the fairies with the artiststamps? For our private series zine swap I am sending you zines 1 and 2 of my Fairy zines.
Response: Thanks so much! We got our alone time and had a wonderful date out on the strip! Thanks for the heart!
Response: As always... I love to swap with you. I have missed swapping with you. It's good to get back in communication with you!
Response: Glad that you liked the swap. I had fun making up the break up story!!! Thanks for the great rating!
Response: So glad that you like what I chose for you. It was a lot of fun to put together.
Response: Glad that you liked my zine. I hope you join us for future rounds!!! I hope you are enjoying this series.
Response: Awesome! I love making how to zines and recipes zines. They are definitely my favorites! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad that you liked it. I really enjoyed making that zine. I loved the swap!
Response: Glad that you figured out that I was sending them all together. I had planned on sending you a message to let you know, but I forgot. I am glad that you liked the envelope too!
Response: Beverly, I feel like it's really important that we do these types of swaps because although they are primarily for US they are also something that we can share with our loved ones. I am glad to have some neat smashbooks to leave to my children/grandchildren after I am gone. My health scares have been so often, that I truly don't know how much time I have left on this earth. I have been thinking a lot lately that I want to leave something behind personal for my kids (who are still very young) to be able to remember me and know me better.
Thanks for the heart.
Response: Glad that you liked it.. I had so much fun making it up. It all came from my head.... I was basically making it up as I wrote it. I wanted a story that was full of twisted details. Glad that you liked it.
Response: sO GLAD THAT YOU LIKED IT! i LOVE THESE sWAPS!
Response: So glad that you liked them! I love sharing! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad that you like them. I love to share. Thanks for the heart!
Response: My blue tapes are my favorites! Glad that you like them!
Response: Thanks so much! I loved that swap! I hope to one day go to some rain forests in South America.
Response: Yea!!! Wow! That took a long time to arrive.
Response: Thanks it was so much fun to come up with that. I love that little design.
Response: Thanks a bunch. That was a fun swap.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I love those vintage cards.
Response: Thanks for swapping. I hope you are in the next round.
Response: Thanks. I hope you joined the next round! See you.
Response: Glad you got them.awesome.
Response: I was hoping you would like the pattern that I chose. It. Was my favorite.
Response: Thanks so much! I love this swap and am excited that I almost have a completed ABC book. My kids wondered why I drew a naked picture of myself. ;)... my husband just rolled his eyes.
Response: Thanks for the sweet compliments. I tried the whole digital calendar scheduling thing and I didn't like having to open windows and typing in what I wanted. I am a total pencil/pen and paper type of girl. I like to turn pages to see everything going on in my life. And I love to have lots of extra pages for doodling, writing letters and everything else (even extra blank papers for making zines). Thanks for the heart!
Response: The theme is completely open to self interpretation. I plan to do a layout about one of my favorite actresses that I adore- Keira Knightly. My girl crush is that she makes me smile whenever I see her on TV and I think she is gorgeous. You can do it however you wish!
Response: That is funny that you were believing the story. Ha! Glad that it was somewhat realistic. That was the point! I am working on the whole backstory to this 'other place'. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much for sharing that site! Thanks for the heart!!! Glad you liked my zines!
Response: It was huge in the USA in the 80's. I don't think kids were doing it outside the USA or past the 1980's.
Response: I am glad that you liked the box. I had so much fun putting it together for you. I totally want to host another one of these. I hope you join!
Response: Thanks so much for your kind words. Admitting to my mental health issues has been a huge step towards getting better. I hate even saying that I have problems. I am a very proud person and I have a tough time admitting that there is something that I cannot do or an area where I feel like an utter failure. I am fortunate to have a loving supportive family. They make me feel normal and that things will look up. I do see a silver lining and that is enough for me. :) You are a sweetheart! So glad that you joined this swap!
Response: I hope interesting in a good way. ;) I had a lot of fun with that. I plan to do all my pc's as though they were from inhabitants of this place.
Response: I was trying to think of a way to make the PC fit my theme and that is what I came up with. I LOVE these swaps! Thanks for the heart.
Response: I loved this swap sooo much!!! You sent awesome tape! It was so much fun to share these! Thanks for the heart.
Response: I hope you have signed up for the next round!!!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! I hope you have signed up for the next round!
Response: No. I search for them on Pinterest. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I'm glad that I hadn't sent you a ton of duplicates. Whew! That was such a fun swap. That typewriter tape is my absolute favorite!!! I use it very sparingly because I can't find another roll of it either!
Response: Yay! Thanks for the heart. I love that series of PC's
Response: I look forward to hearing from you. :)
Response: Nice to know that we are all different in our own way.
Response: Thanks for the heart! Thanks for joining this swap!
Response: So glad that you liked it! I loved your package too! We will have to swap in the near future!!!! Thanks!!!!
Response: Glad it made you smile. I am enjoying seeing that I may not be as weird as I once thought I was. :)
Response: Those ghost postcards were cute.... I loved them once I saw them! Glad you liked them. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I actually had a hard time finding a vintage pc to print... but once I saw it... I had to use it! Thanks for the heart. I hope you will join Round 3 of this swap.
Response: I'm so glad to hear that this envelope made it to you! This is such a fun swap to do ! Thanks for the heart.
Response: Glad you liked it. I am having so muh fun with the planning of my new little world I really want to create a workbook template to share.... but I lost my photoshop elements program that I would normally use to create one. Dang!
Response: Thanks! This was huge here in the southwest in the 80's. Where did you grow up?
Response: Thanks for joining the swap! I hope you join us again!
Response: Ha! Yup! I know I am weird!!! Truly.... I am! I could probably fill another zine with even more weirdness. Thanks for the heart!!!
Response: I am having such an amazing experience creating this "other world". I have spent so many hours literally dreaming about the different parts of it. I love it!!! Thanks for the heart! When I am ready to share the stories of the land of Menaggio I will share them with you. :)
Response: Thanks so much Britta! YOu are always so encouraging! Thanks for being my cheerleader! :) It has been fun to see everyone's different takes on the workbook.
Response: I love putting my quotes in my book immediately too!!! I would love to hear how you organize your quote books..... or if you don't have tabs and you put them in randomly.
Response: Thanks so much! It's sometimes hard to stay on top of things.
Response: I am so glad that you liked it. I had fun putting it together for you.
Response: Yea!!! Glad you got it. I loved using watercolor pencils in that zine. It was sure a cute one!
Response: Thanks Gramma G! I hope to continue to fill my book. It's sooooo fat now! thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the nice response. I will send you a note to answer your question. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I really enjoyed the topics for the last one, I just wish that I had felt better so that I could have done them all by myself. I am feeling really good now.. no more feeling sick! Yay!!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much. You are so sweet. Thanks for the heart too!
Response: That was funny... you are mostly A, I am mostly B, and Yvonne (Wingy) is mostly C. How fun! I hope that sometime you can see the show. It is soooooo good!!!
Response: Yay! Glad that you got them!!!
Response: Thanks for the heart and the nice words! I am a road trip fanatic... I can't wait to go on our next road trip.
Response: Thanks so much. I wasn't sure how to do that page, but I wanted to use up some of those many cute little Smashbook list pages. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Ohhh... thanks for the heart!!!I am such a freezer meal addict!!!
Response: Glad that you liked it. I took the test and I was almost all B. I was hardly any A's too. She is kind of a stick in the mud. I totally love these Fill in the Blank zines!!! Its fun to come up with new ideas each round. :)
Response: I chose polish because I bite my nails so I NEVER have bought myself nail polish.... but I wish I could because it looks so cute. I loved that color too!!!!
Response: So glad that you got them. I had a lot of fun putting that together for you. I love having a cute planner!!!
Response: We have always had tiny old energy sucking fridges..... and since I have wanted the freezer on the bottom and water in the door.... this was the choice. We have 6 months to get it paid off so..... with my new job that starts in a week I plan to sock my money on that Home Depot credit card.
Response: Thanks for the heart. When we were looking for a home we walked through MANY models of homes that were around 2000 square feet. What sold me on this house was the kitchen. The buffet bar was an upgrade, but I saw the option for it and had to have it. We have used this bar for every Thanksgiving meal buffet, every family gathering and party.... oh it is my favorite part of the house!!!
Response: What a great summer! I hope that we all have an even better summer next year! Thanks for rating!
Response: Thanks for rating! It was a great summer. I hope next years is even better.
Response: Thanks for the heart. yeah... I still have the photo of my grandma in her grave and every time I see it I get freaked out by it.
Response: Glad that you loved them. I really hope you join the next round too!
Response: I am so glad that you liked it. I actually felt that I had to step up my game after seeing your awesome book. I just have a different style than you. They are equally good!!!! Thanks so much for doing this swap! I hope that you don't think I have too crazy of a life. :)
Response: I am so happy that you liked the postcard. I had a tough time deciding which bus or train to send. Then I thought it would be fun to do a different take on your theme. I hope you sign up for round 1 with a new theme.
Response: I really am loving these swaps!!! I know that I have said it before, but I love looking through my quote book and feeling happy and inspired. It's a book that I have shared with many.
Response: Out of all the postcards that I sent- yours was definitely my favorite one!!! I had to handmake a few of them... and I really had fun with yours. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay!!! So relieved that you got it!!!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the nice review! I love your zines too! So glad that you are in this zine community! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am having so much fun seeing the quotes I get and then getting to decide where to put them in my book and gluing them in. It's so much fun to take it to church and read during passing time.
Response: Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! Those are seriously fun date ideas! My husband and I have tested them all out! ;) Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I really liked the Yoda myself and thought it would be fun to get one for myself too! ;)
Response: Yay! Glad that you liked them! Thanks for the heart!
Response: It was a very fun summer.... but not long enough!!! Thanks so much for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much! That zine was a blast to create!!! I love adding bits of ephemera to the template before copying. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Hmmm.... I don't know what to tell you. The zine that I received was from the gal who created it so she didn't do a new layout in it and instead just sent me one of her zines plus some paper stuff with the zine. That was fine with me.
Response: Ummm.... yeah.... I have had a good life.... but some bad moments here and there. Regarding my stroke, my baby almost dying in the car, my dad who was a molestor and other sad or hard things.
Response: You are so sweet! Thanks a bunch! Only one swap left I hope you sign up!!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I think I was on some really good pain meds while drawing it... the kind of meds that make you feel like you are walking on the walls and really really happy! :) Thanks for the heart!
Response: Holy Cow!!! That got to you quick!!! I am so glad that you liked it. That was a tough one for me. I thought it would be an easy zine for me.... but it wasn't! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Yay! That's what I do with mine too! What kind of book are you using? Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the sweet comments and the heart!!!
Response: Thanks!!!! As always... I love this theme of swap!

Response: You are so sweet. Thanks for the heart.
Response: It took a few weeks of working away at the piles and carrying armloads of cookbooks downstairs. Thanks for the heart and thanks for joining this swap!

Response: Thanks so much! Thank you for signing up for this round!
Response: Holy Cow! That was fast!!! I got the impression that it would take weeks to get there!!! So happy you got it quickly! Thanks for the heart! My 9 year old daughter (as a reward for doing well in school this next month) is earning Wilton cake decorating classes. She already is asking for sprinkles and things for Christmas. Good to know that the company has quality products. Those sprinkles were such pretty colors!!!
Response: Thanks so much Yvonne!!!! I really am nervous about even trying to sell on Etsy, but I really want to branch out beyond Swap-bot. You are so sweet!!!!
Response: You are soooo sweet!!!!! This swap series (even though I am the one who came up with it) has been really challenging for me. I have a hard time getting motivated to do it!!! Luckily once I start it I just keep going and have fun doing it! The topics this time luckily weren't too difficult.... I already knew exactly what I wanted to do.
Response: I am so happy that you enjoyed the smashbook and zine. I had a lot of fun creating it. It took much longer to make than I had anticipated, but.... it was worth it as I have been excitedly waiting to hear from each of you if you liked it. Have you Smashbooked before? If not, it is sooo much fun!
Response: Thanks so much! I really wanted to fit complete maps of our roadtrip... but when you only have a little bit of space.. you have to prioritize don't you? Thanks so much! It was such an amazing roadtrip! We are so ready to do more each summer. Thanks for joining this swap. I hope your book is looking lovely!
Response: Ahhh.... you are a sweetheart! I can't wait to see yours!!! I really enjoyed making this one!
Maggie
Response: You are so sweet... especially considering I really haven't ever drawn before with watercolors. I am NOT talented at all in the artist department. I chose this medium because I had some pencils that were new and sharpened and looked so nice I had to use them!!! Thanks so much!!!! Maggie
Response: So glad that you liked it! It was such a fun zine to create! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks Yvonne! I knew that I had more information than space so the inside section was necessary! :) Thanks for the heart!!!

Response: Thanks for the nice comments and the heart! I hope to see you in more swaps. I doubt I will let my husband ever read that zine.... I would be really embarrassing.

Response: Thanks so much! I love how cute my book is looking and I love the varied designs and styles of everybody's quotes.
Response: thanks for the heart! I used the stamps that I had on hand. I bought that stamp collection in the 1980's and finally got around to opening the bag up. I knew the stamps were German, but I had no idea when they date back to and I didn't know if they were for East or West Germany. I just used the stamps that I had on hand. Thanks for letting me know since I still have sooooooo many of them!!!! I had a great time making that kit for you! I did it with lots of love and friendship! :)
Response: Thanks for the heart. I spent the last few days with my mother (an artist) and being around her always is very inspiring and I spend a lot of quiet time reflecting.... so it was just natural that I include my list like a table of contents on the back cover.
Response: I love doing these swaps!!! I hope to see you in future swaps. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am having so much fun making watercolor art. I'm not a very good artist, but I don't care! I'm having so much Fun!!! Thanks for the heart!!!

Response: I hope you like the flavors that I picked for you. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am glad you liked my zine. I went through hundreds of pick up lines.... and so many were sexual (and since Joy said to keep them PG) I had a hard time finding fairly appropriate ones. I do think I will celebrate next year with volume 2. Thanks so much for the heart.
Response: I had so much fun creating them!!! I am a total zine addict!!! Thanks for the heart!!! If you ever want to do a private swap in the future I would love to!
Response: Come on over and play. Now I have plenty of room for you to join me. :) If the room were a little larger I would actually host a ladies craft night in there! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I have always wanted to visit St. Petersburg too!!!! One day I hope to go with my husband there on a trip Thanks so much for the heart!!!
Response: Shoepeg corn is a small white corn. It's extra sweet. I think you could use any canned corn (drained) with this recipe. I haven't tried any other, but I bet that you could. The sandwich is my favorite!
Response: Thanks for the heart!!! I am so addicted to making zines!!!
Response: That room was really tough to do.... soooooo time consuming, but the end result is so worth it!!! I am glad that you joined this swap! I hope you sign up for round 2. Thanks for the heart!!!
Response: Thanks so much!!! I finished this room yesterday at lunchtime and have hardly left the room since. My kids have each taken turns joining me to chat or they do their stuff and I do mine. When I woke up this morning my husband was sitting in the banana chair talking to his mother on the phone- in my studio! The room that he has been teasing me about forever!!!!
Response: So glad that you liked it. I found a website with HUNDREDS of picuplines.... the problem was that more than half of them were either nasty or much lamer.... I think I will do a #2 of this same topic next year to celebrate this very important day. :) Thanks for the heart!!!
Response: You are very welcome. When I read your profile and saw some of the things you liked I knew I had more than I needed for myself so I wanted to share. You being so happy with the package has made my day! I really needed that pick me up as well, thank you!!!!
Response: Glad you liked it. I need to write a follow up to it now that I have finally been diagnosed as mild bipolar. I feel like the doctors are finally getting somewhere. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I loved it so much I have a notation to buy one for myself!!! ;) Glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart!

Response: glad you liked them. I love making them so much!!!

Response: Thanks for the encouragement. I don't know if I will ever do a zine that is NOT my style again since I am not an artist.

Thank you for the heart and thanks a bunch of being so supportive of me as a hostess!!!!
Response: It makes me so happy that you liked them! I loved making that zine and the cards.

Response: The dreams are getting better each day thankfully! We are all very excited to get her. We are naming her Molly. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for joining the swap!
Response: Yeah! I am so glad it finally arrived! I guess it took the old boat to get there. ;) Thanks for the heart!

Response: It was sure a lot of fun! I hope we can do this swap again!
Response: Thanks! I don't expect anyone to send theirs back to me! My mother is mortified that I sent my completed one to all you guys! Hope I didn't traumatize any of you. lol
Response: Glad you liked them!
Response: Thanks for being willing to swap!
Response: I am so excited to see how this turns out! I have this crazy fantasy of one day living in a treehouse.... ever since the Swiss Family Robison movie

Response: Thanks for the heart! I'm glad you liked that PC. I thought it was pretty too.
Response: They are tasty recipes. My favorite is the chicken salad. I am having a lot of fun creating these zines! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Whenever I go through a drive thru I save the bag to use in my mail. Glad you got everything. Best wishes. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I sure hope to road trip before I am an old lady. ;) I want to take my kids with me and let them see all that the USA has to offer. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I had so much fun creating that zine! I love hosting these swaps... and wish that I could host more of them at once... but I know that I can't overwhelm the site with zine swaps! ;) I am so glad that you have been joining these swaps. Thanks for the heart. By the way... the recipe for the chicken salad is really yummy.
Response: I had such a blast creating the mad lib zine. Back in the 80's my mom bought me a few zines to do on road trips through boring central Nevada. I could spend hours on them. I am planning on creating a series of them with different quirky stories in each. You are the only person who has seen that zine, so it's great to know that it got your approval! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I don't know when I will be able to do a road trip like that... it will probably be when the kids are teenagers. I am sure that it would be more like the National Lampoon Family Vacation.
Response: I wrote it and then read it to my 7, 8, and 9 year old the night before Easter. They totally believed it! Funny. It was so much fun to make. I created a different Spring zine too. Mine was about picknicking here in Southern Nevada with some recipes. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it! I love that quote and need to be reminded of it!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks. I love to go down to the strip to look at some of the cool architecture. It is neat to watch the Bellagio water show at night from our van driving down the strip.
Response: I am glad you liked it. I bought a few of them on that trip. It's one of my favorite postcards ever!!! Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for reading! And thanks for the heart!
Response: So glad that you liked my zine. I see that you can totally relate! Thanks so much for the heart. I am already working on writing the next letter. I married a great guy, but like all couples we have our 'issues'.
Response: We just returned from our vacation to California and I got your letter from my mailbox tonight. I love the card! Thanks so much! Don't worry about me. We can still continue to do swaps. Let's wait a few weeks and then we can do another one. I am mailing you a postcard that I got on my trip.
Response: Thanks for the heart. It was fun to create! I hope you join future zine swaps.
Response: They were hard to narrow down. I have had a lot of good bad sad and hard moments to pick from. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Wow! That's great. I didn't know how I would be able to get rid of it. I am so glad that you liked it.
Response: Thanks for taking the ugly card off my hands! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: I love these swaps! Thanks for the heart! I am glad you liked my envelope. I had a blast making you that envelope!
Response: Yea. So glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart and for joining this swap.
Response: That letter was so much harder to write than I thought it would be!!!! I don't know how you were able to read it!!! I'm glad you were able to figure out some of what I said. I am glad you liked me zine. I am such a zine addict... I love to collect them and make them too!!!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I'm not sure which postcard I sent you, but I am so glad that you liked it! Thanks!!!
Response: I had a lot of fun putting this together. I purposely added Mitt Romney to be in my March birthdays so that it wouldn't just be a collection of people I like.... I don't like the guy either. I actually am one of the few Mormons who voted for (and helped campaign for) President Obama.
Response: I had so much fun putting it together! I really enjoy themed swaps. Thanks for joining. I also thank you for the heart!
Response: I thought it was creepy too! Thanks for the heart!

Response: I love them too!!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am so glad that you liked my zine! It was a lot of fun to create! I actually got the patterned paper idea from zines on Etsy.com. I have so much scrapbook paper that I haven't been able to use and now I am finding a way to use it! Yay!!! I had so much fun collecting the winter jokes. yea... the polaroid joke made me laugh too!
Response: Belle loved her letter from Alexis too. She has written a letter to her that I will try to mail in the next few days.
Response: I have quite a few ideas for future letters to my husband. I would be so embarrassed if he ever reads them. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks for joining our swap! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Good.. I'm glad that you think it's the same story that I do. Anyway... thanks so much for the heart! I hope you can join future swaps.
Response: It is so much fun to quickly create a zine in a short matter of time. I have enjoyed joining your swaps too!
Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I was hoping you would like it. I loved yours so much and wanted mine to be as a good of quality as yours. Thanks a bunch.
Response: I am so happy that liked my envelope. It was fun to decorate and I wanted to send you a good one since you sent me such a good one.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I had so much fun making it!!!
Response: I had so much fun making that envelope... though it was really tricky making the fake red and blue lines on the edges. I had to carve my own stamp and try to ink every other one the correct color!!! Glad to know that you will be hosting this again!
Response: It was totally the best part of the whole trip. When we stepped onto the beach where the plane crashed... oh my... my heart was racing! And also the location where the 'Others' lived... their town is still there... it's actually a YMCA camp that is in constant use. And the waterfall where Jack and Kate dive into the water and see the body at the bottom still strapped in the airline seat..... oh... and where the Australian shots were filmed and the Japanese temple and water gardens where Jin and Sun have some encounters. Oh my... I could go on forever!!!! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you liked it.... I love how in the last HP book Malfoy actually shows that he doesn't always prefer evil. Thanks for joining the swap. I am really loving getting pc's that tell a story.
Response: It is as beautiful inside as it is outside. If you ever get to SLC you will have to drive by it or tour temple square.
Response: I am so glad that you liked it. It was not an easy one to assemble. You would think that vintage apron is an easy one, but it had me kind of stumped. Thank goodness for Joanne's and Etsy. I am so hsppy that you liked I!
Response: Since you actually read my story... I am going to email you the full copy. Thanks so much for your participation in this swap and thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks so much! I look forward to getting your zines too!!!
Response: I totally debated about sharing that secret.... especially in case someone's children are around when the mail comes. I am glad that you liked it. It's a secret that I keep very private. My friends complain all the time about their husbands and you know what... so.... I just sit there quiet not wanting them to know that I totally empathize with the men. ;) Thanks for the heart!!!! F.Y.I... I am creating a mini book collaborative Postsecret book. If you are at all interested in participating I can send you a message with some information. I have 6 participants. We will be sharing a secret from our 'teen years'.
Thanks again for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I love the LDS swaps!! Thanks for joining!!
Response: Thanks for the heart. Glad you liked it!
Response: Thanks for the swap! If I had known you were such a great artist I would have been hesitant to send you my Las Vegas zine... due to my horrible artistic skills!! Thanks for the heart you are so kind!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I loved participating in this swap!
Response: Wow! That is the best compliment ever! I have only ever made a couple before so I am a total newbie!! Thanks for the reassurance! I am always up for private swaps as well! Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I am so relieved that my kids don't just like Kraft! IT's so expensive!!!
Response: I had so much fun creating that zine!!! I am glad you liked it!
Response: Can I tell you a funny story? Just before assigning parters I was checking to make sure that everyone had enough items in their Etsy wishlist to pick from. I looked at your Etsy faves and saw the PuchiMo shop and saw that it is a local Las Vegas business. I went to that shop and added a few of their items to my favorites. Then I assigned partners and since you were my partner I went shopping for you. I thought those envelopes were so cute and so I bought them for you. Two days ago a package arrived in the mail from that same shop. I freaked out (before opening it) and thought they had accidently sent your surprise to ME! I got in my house and tore the package open and just started laughing... my partner ordered me a similar set of envelopes except they had cute pink and brown airmail stripes and said "Air Mail Par Avion" on them. I saw that we both ordered the envelopes the same day and told the shop gal to make a notation about the swap name. She must have thought it was funny to get requests for same items (more or less) on the same day to different places and people. lol.
Thanks so much for the the envies!!! Thanks a bunch for the heart!!!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I like that postcard too. I love to see how so many US cities have interesting parts to discover!!! Heck, I just love finding new things here in Las Vegas to do!!!
Response: So funny that I got you two swaps in a row! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I loved making that zine. I am alwAys up for a private swap.
Response: No worries. Thanks again for rating.
Response: That's always nice when I can pass on cards that I don't like, but someone else can find the beauty in them that I can't.
Response: Thanks so much! Thank you for joining these swaps!!! Is your book getting full?
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Glad you like them! Thanks for the heart! I love these kinds of swaps!
Response: Thanks so much! It took a little bit to get into this swap since the last time I did one.. it put me in a stroke the next morning.lol. ;) I love these swaps and my K and Co book is about half full now... but the pages are already bulging!!! I totally love it! Thanks for sticking with us!!!
Response: Thanks so much for the heart and sweet words. I have had so much doctor stuff to take care of since I last got out of the hospital I was in a rush last night to finish the pages. Last time I rushed to get my pages done I ended up with a stroke. lol. I am just glad that they turned out well. I love these swaps so much! You have been a sweet friend to me and I appreciate it!
Response: When I saw them on your faves I loved them myself! Thanks for swapping!

Response: I would love to see them. Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks! I had so much fun creating it!
Response: Thanks so much for heart. Thanks for caring so much about me during the difficulties of my health! You are so kind!
Response: Thanks so much! I do know one thing... if I hadn't stayed up till after midnight working on them the night before my medical crap happened... I may not have had as severe of a warning about an impending full blown stroke. I wonder if it actually saved my life working late into the night on these pages?!?
Response: Glad you liked it! I usually order my partner's gift as soon as I assign partners. When i went to your wishlist I saw that there were very few items in that price range. I plan to do this swap again soon. Hope you join us again!
Maggie
Response: Yes it was.... But I actually kind of miss it. I liked the shirtless guy in a way!
Response: Glad you liked it. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I actually printed it as a questionnaire Ono glossy photo paper then wrote my answers with a blue shrarpie marker on top. Thanks for the good rating!
Response: Thanks for the heart. Our meal group is a group of 4women who pick 4 different meals and then buy ingredients and prep each one. We come together with our 4 meals that we made 4 times each and swap with everyone. So I take home 16 meals for my freezer every 6 weeks or so. I have been doing this for 4 years. My blog all about it is www.freezermealsforus.blogspot.com

Response: Thanks for the heart. Have a wonderful day!
Response: Yep! That was why I love that pc so much. The picture may not be much to desire, but the motel description is the best! Thanks for the heart!
Response: THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HEART! My husband rolls his eyes whenever we go on a trip and are anywhere near a postcard display .... he knows that I will be spending at least $5. buying postcards for these swaps. I bought 35 of 1 postcard style that I found at Navajo Bridge in Northern Arizona. I have only a few left... it's not hard to get rid of that many here on Swap-bot!!
Response: Rachel,
I still am not done sending the swap letters to you you will be getting more from me still. I would love to keep in touch afterwards! I am mailing off another letter tomorrow.
Response: Thanks for rating! Thanks for the heart! I really did enjoy reading your blog!

Response: Thank you so much! That was so nice of you to say. i love working on my blog... I appreciate your compliments. I am definately doing it because I love to share what I know with others. Thank you thank you!

Response: Thanks for the heart. I love to share my smashbook stuff with fellow smashers. Glad you liked it!
Response: Oh it was amazing. We flew all night and arrived at 7am. We went to Pearl harbor the first day. We then went to Turtle Bay. We spent the entire time on the island of Oahu. We circled the island 5 times in 5 days.... it was wonderful! I loved the Polynesian Cultural Center and the Pali lookout... but my absolute highlight was touring the TV shooting locations of the TV show LOST. I could go on and on... it was so amazing.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I am so glad I participated in this swap because I love the many different ways of depicting the birth of Christ and the events that surrounded that special day.
Response: I have just sent you a reply. Maybe every now and then we could send each other naked addressed postcards. I love having storebought postcard penpals.
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for your response to my pen pal letter. I will be writing you back soon.
Response: That was a lot of fun! Thanks for the heart! I love Christmas secrets!

Response: Thanks for the heart and thanks for joining!
Response: Thanks for the heart and I am so glad you joined!
Response: Thanks for the heart. I loved hearing about everyone's Christmas happenings.
Response: Thanks for the heart and for joining!

Response: My best friend tells me stories about that Jacob Lake Inn from when she worked there like 15 years ago. She makes the place sound like Bates Motel.

lol.
Response: Do you want me to set it up as a private swap? Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks so much. I received your nice letter. I loved it! I love the zentangle Christmas pictures!
Response: Thanks for the heart! That was such a fun swap! I loved decorating the envelope!
Response: My kiddos are not triplets, but the girls are a year apart. I had my babies super close together.... good thing... because when I was pregnant with my boy (and age 32) I had a stroke so no more children for me. Luckily I am doing very well... but my hopes for 5 kids... won't be happening. Thanks for the sweet comments and the heart!!!!
Response: I don't get why they put you up in a crappy place that is worse than where you would have stayed if you paid for the accomodations. At that motel we walked in and the hanging light over the work station was shattered and there was glass all over the carpet! Did I mention the heated pool was like 68 degrees? Oh well... we loved Sedona, but will stay in a nice motel next time. Did you visit the awesome shopping center Tlaquepaque while you were there? Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! I would love to know what one of your favorite traditions are!!!
Response: Thanks for the heart! Glad you liked the card!
Response: Thanks for the heart. I loved that swap a lot! It felt good to do something for someone else.
Response: I loved putting that package together for you! I too was thrilled to meet another Maggie since it is NOT a common name. hello to your daughter Isabella. Is she around 6 years old like mine?
Response: I had a blast stamping and coloring the envelopes. I am glad you liked them. Love the "Ugliest Package Award" that is a great memory! Thanks for the heart!
Response: glad you got it! I also hope the other one shows up.... since it was obviously another card that I did not like. I have plenty of undesirable cards!
Response: I am glad you liked the card. I was debating about whether or not the family Christmas photo card could count as a PC... but I had purchased so many at Costco... much more than we needed... I decided to go ahead and risk it. Your Italian traditions are really neat. So.. on Christmas eve do you have to cook 13 DIFFERENT fish dishes OR does that mean you have 13 dishes with fish on each and have 13 guests to eat it... OR does it mean that you have 13 pieces of dinnerware that have fish decor? ;) Seriously.. I have never heard of this tradition. Is that hard coming up with that much fish? When my family visited relatives in Mexico when we were kids I remember opening our presents at midnight on Christmas eve. Do you open ALL your gifts that night?
Response: So glad you liked it. My girls are always so excited about my swaps too!
Response: I am so glad you got it and liked it! I had a blast putting that swap together for you. I joined the January round too!
I think it was you who asked... Yes, I can eat chocolate.
Response: What a relief!!!! I have been sweating bullets.... worrying that they would never arrive. Thanks for the heart.
Response: I am so glad you received it. I look forward to hearing from you. :)
Response: Sorry. I wish I remembered which ones I sent. Dang. ..
Response: Thanks for the heart.
Response: Sue you are so sweet. You have a nice style too :)
Response: Got it pn Easy. It is not my signature
Response: Thanks so much for sharing all that. I rarely use my handwriting cause I hate it... Thanks so much for the heart.
Response: Thanks for the.heart. I loved making the.cards.
Response: I know! She was devastated. Thanks for the heart!
Response: I hope you are enjoying creating your own pages. Thanks for the heart. :)
Response: Thanks for the heart.
Response: Thanks so much.
Response: You are welcome. Thanks For the heart. :)
Response: I am so glad you liked everything. I did read your profile and the Paris theme, hello kitty, quotes, and modern themes all stood out. I know that so many don't read profiles so I try to. I did find you to be very interesting.... Hopefully we swap again in the future. . :)
Response: Thanks so much for the good rating and heart.
Response: Thanks for the heart. Yes Vegas is stinking hot!
Response: Thanks for the heart!!!
Response: thanks for the heart!
That was seriously a fun word. what did you first think it was?
Response: I really look forward to hearing from you. So relieved that you got it!
Response: I am so glad you liked how I spent your money. I sure enjoyed learning about your town and imagining you living above your business. So cool. i love your mail blog. i may write you a real letter sometime.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I was happy to pass on some baby stuff since my little one is out of that stage. We are just now tackling preschool.
Response: Thanks for the heart. I had fun choosing which bits and pieces to share with you. :)
Response: Thanks so much for the heart! It was my first zine so please share any suggestions for improving a 12 page zine.
Response: So glad it got there. I loved yours so much too. Our styles are different, but both are a lot of fun!
Response: Oh.. I'm 37 almost 38 and that isn't stopping me! ;). Thanks for the 5 and heart.
Response: I was wondering what kind of condition the goodies arrived in. Were they crushed? Chocolate always makes my day! Thanks for the heart!
Response: I am so glad you liked it. I really was trying to find a way to make it different from our regular pen pal exchange. I got your letter in the mail two days ago. I answered it, and mailed it yesterday. Super fun! I have had a lot of fun trying to be creative in my letter writing. I think it depends the mood I am in... If I am feeling really creative and cheery then my letters will be more decorated. If life is kinda meloncholy or if I am just super busy then the letters reflect a more subdued attitude. Anyway... take care. thanks again for the heart.
Response: Heather, I am so happy that you liked it! I really did try to create a book that would be fun for you to use. If you click on my username and go to my profile page you will see if the current open swap for the International smashbook. Please join us again!
Response: I thought you might like it. ;) I almost didn't part with it. I have had it sitting on my craft table for a few months so that I could admire it.
Response: I loved them too. I picked out my favorites. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thanks for the heart! My daughter just got her ears pierced and saw me order it for you. She is now asking for a pair for Christmas.
Response: I am lucky to live in a city that has soooooo many postcards!!!!
Response: Nope. We had 1 cat until it ran away last week. My kids are devastated! The truth is that we live next door to a pig farm. Yes, it does stink a lot.
Response: Nope! Last year for our 10 year anniversary my hubby and I went to Oahu and took the amazing tour. Half was self guided using Internet resources and the scenes when Hurley plays golf and the smoke monster and the 'others' village were part of the paid tour. It was totally amazing!
Response: So glad. I had fun picking them out!
Response: So glad that you got my ideas. I love that we both have chocolate activities in the works!!!! Chocolate is truly a woman's BFF. Maybe we can do this swap again in a year and share more new ideas. Thanks for hosting. :)
Response: Glad you liked them. If you want to swap again I would love to! Maybe in a few months.
Response: So glad you loved it. I got the return address stamp from Etsy. It's a self inking stamp that I LOVE to stamp on everything! I actually purchased two different styles.
Response: Thanks for the heart!
Response: You made my day! So glad you loved it. Let me know how you use it. :)
Response: Thanks for the heart. Good seeing you again! Last time was when Isent you a box of things I don't use any more. Right? I am hosting that swap again! I still have stuff to get rid of! :)
Response: Thanks for the heart.
Response: I am so glad that you liked the package. I had a lot of fun putting together the different items. I love that IKEA book too! It's cool how it has a moveable lined template. Glad it got there in a timely manner!
Response: You are so kind. Thanks so much for the heart. I wish I could show all of you my collection... but binders just aren't pretty. The contents of them are pretty cool though. Thanks again! What do you collect?
Response: It was a ton of work... and tears.. and TIME!!!!.... but it was so so so so worth it!!!! I sent you a message! :) By the way.... what do you collect?
Response: Thanks so much! It's fun to have a collection that I can share with so much of my family! By the way, what do you collect? I am looking forward to mail from you. ;)
Response: Thanks so much. I enjoyed this swap so much and loved getting some new tapes. I think I will have to host this again, but with a twist. Take care!
Response: Thanks for the heart. I had fun answering them.
Response: I'm not sure either! I would probably rather repeat being held at gunpoint to baring all to my friend!
Response: You will have to tell me if it smells nice. I thought maybe I should order me some too! :)
Response: I really think that ephemera should naturally be part of a journal like this. I made those business cards last year and ever since I started including them with all my swaps I TOTALLY have almost gone through my stash of 250 cards~!!!!! I guess time to make me some more... but maybe with a new photo. :) thanks for the heart!
Response: The New Moon prints were fun decor on my tables for my dinner party... I still have some more that I hang as decor in my 'studio'.
Response: I am so glad you love it. It totally was made with much love. I hope everyone gets something they love.
Response: Something funny.... I have that shop on my wishlist as well... and in a swap a week after the ephemera swap my partner sent me my item from that same shop! Yes... very quality stuff!
Response: Are they just barely larger than a marble? It was hard to tell in the picture.
Response: I really had a wonderful time making this for you. I have made a few... and this was my favorite one to create so far! I enjoyed doing a private swap with you and would lovce to do more in the future!
Response: Yes... Very happy.... I am just strange. ;)
Response: This swap always suprises me that I too always get stuff that I want. I give away stuff I don't care for and get some stuff I like! Can't beat that!
Response: I truly fell in love with that book and sending it off was like losing one of my children. ;) Seriously... I truly enjoyed making that and put all my heart and soul into it. I made it after my own personal style and hoped you would love it too! So glad you liked it!
Response: I look forward to swapping another time. I love the gray and white washi tape you sent.
Response: I have always wanted some soaps like that, but have never bought myself any. Have you used them before?
Response: Well that's good! Glad you got it. I enjoyed picking out some things for you.
Response: Yes... I typed the answers to about 1 section per night for many nights. It was a long process.. but enjoyable.
Response: Thanks for reading my answers and the heart! I had a lot of fun answering them all. What a fun swap that was!
Response: Thanks for reading and the heart! Wouldn't it be amazing to share smashbooks with the First Lady and Oprah?
Response: Before I signed up for this swap I went to Pinterest to see if I could find anything with gnomes. so... once I found the paper dolls... then I felt good about signing up for this swap. I loved gnomes now!
Response: Glad you liked it. I love this type of swap. I have such a variety of items for smashing that I just send a little of everything since it is hard to know what type of epherema people prefer.
Response: How funny! I had totally forgoteen about the old Wendy's tables until you mentioned it. We grew up in a town FAR from a Wendy's... but on school trips if we stopped to eat out THEN that is how I remember seeing the tables. I am so glad you loved the goodies. So many of them were from Pinterest... I typed in 'digital ephemera' and it brought up LOTS of images. I saved them in a file on my computer called Ephemera and printed out a few for you. I also had some cute things that I bought in kits off QVC back in the day when scrapbooking was much bigger!!!
Response: I had a blast making the mini books! I think I have become a mini smashbook addict. I hope that swap didn't scare you too much. I am glad you signed up, even if you didn't know what you were in for ;) It is so much fun to look at our different styles. My book was very different from yours and also very different from Joyce's... but nonetheless they were all wonderful! You both gave me good ideas for my next ones. I loved how you used the tabs and tags glued to the pages... and I love Joyce's use of notebook paper. Have a great day!
Response: So glad you liked it. I tried to send stuff you could use in your handmade smashbooks.
Response: I am a freak for lists! I make lists in pen pal letters, in my journals, in my Smashbooks... everywhere!!! Glad you liked it.
Response: I wish you lived here too! When we had the first party we got about 28 ladies to it. Then by New Moon we were down to less than 20 fans. By Eclipse we were down to a sit down dinner party of 12... and the first Breaking Dawn was a midnight showing at the Theatre (as a group). Our numbers are totally shrinking...and now I am starting to wonder if the ladies are coming out more just because they want a night out than... they really LOVE Twilight?? I will say that we will go out with part 2 with a BOMB!!!
Response: Paper bag Albums are so much fun to make and use! I love to decorate with photos and journalist and place them on my coffee table for guests to look at.
Response: Please let me know if you end up actually using it! Let me know what you decide to do... put photos.. journaling... smashbook...
Response: Sorry. My kids and the kids I babysit love this dish. I know all kids have their own ideas of what food is good and what isn't. I just barely got my kids to like tacos... and I am half Mexican. That was killing me!!! lol Did you notice on the back of your envelope was a recipe very similiar to the casserole you sent me? I had mod podge the back days before I got yours in the mail. Then I went to mail it out and realized that the recipes were very similiar. I just love to decorate boring white envelopes so... it was funny that the recipe I picked just happened to be so much like what you sent me.
Response: I am so so glad you loved it. I had a blast putting it together. I sent a message to the hostess that we need to do the same swap for 'refill's' for our Mail to go kits.
Response: This was such a great swap idea... I hope the hostess does another one soon. I still have items to share that I won't use. My own partner sent me a few things that I LOVE and would have never thought to try before. The comment by the hostess (I think) that she LOVED something she got in the swap... one man's junk is another man's treasure.... it's totally true!!! Maggie- soyprincesa2
Response: Loved hosting this swap and will do another one soon. I enjoyed gathering the items for your box.
Response: I had a blast making your card. Each one I made was soooo different from the other. I read your profiles and from that chose your paper and quote. I have already added Swap #2 in this series. Please join!
Response: My girls had a blast picking out all the different things to send your girls. It's as much fun to give as it is to recieve!!!
So happy they were pleased!
Response: I'm the swap hostess for this one and I was having a hard time deciding what to send. It was a fun, but challenging swap. I am debating about going book by book and working our way through them all. It is encouraging to know that you thought I sent a good package. I always worry....
Response: Yes. I love pulling out some of what I sell to add to my own stash. Needless to say I have a large stash.
Response: I am so glad you like it. I joined 4 Harry Potter swaps at once and this was one of the most fun to assemble. It was assembled with much love.
Response: Oh my! You got it that quick????? Wow! I am so glad that you liked it! I have a blast picking it out!
Response: I am so glad that you enjoyed this swap! I hope you enjoy the CD it is a pretty different mix of music. I love Latin Music so much... so you will hear a lot of it! I had a blast decorating the cover. I am not sure how I will use my notebook or if it will go on my shelf with my circle journals and scrapbooks.
Response: I had so much fun with this penpal swap! I am glad you enjoyed it. Vegas is a great place to visit!!! August is stinking hot... but still worth it!
Response: I loved swapping with you!
