Comment: Thanks so much for the little journal. It was a very good read. Sorry about your grandfather. Lovely swap. Thanks for sharing your journey with me.
Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely note and all the extras! That is so wonderful to hear about your garden. It is amazing how fast things can grow once it warms up. I haven't made the elderflower champagne, YET but it is still on the agenda! Your wine endeavors sound intriguing. Thank you again for a great letter.
Comment: Sarah, thank you so much for such a wonderful package!! I've already got my questions answered and I'm going to write you a letter before I send it out. I'm glad I got paired with a cool person!! Kelli
Comment: Fantastic! I feel so lucky to have been your partner! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your words, your expertise, and your finely tuned observations! As I read your words, I enjoyed, I learned, and I smiled (a lot). Thanks!
Comment: Thank you for package of maps & your note. The tea shops on the maps is a charming notion. I appreciated the hand made envelope. Best regards, M
Comment: Wow, that was fabulous. Beautiful letterpress, excellent source material, and a fun code.
Did you know that there was a typo in your code? Totally confounded me, but I figured it out eventually and that made it a lot more intriguing. The book ends on page 172, but one of the code lines refered to page 187. I finally got it when I skipped that line of code and reached a letterpressed number in your code that I couldn't tell what it was (it was an italic 2, but the ink had bled and it looked like a 3). That clued me in to think about the form of 187 - the actual page number was 137 (but that 3 in the book looked like an 8).
Message solved!
You kept me, my husband, and our geeky houseguest well entertained over breakfast. Thanks so much.
Comment: Just got your package! What can I say! Wow! I love it all! Thankyou so much. It was all so beautifully wrapped up, and I had so much fun opening all the little packages. It was like christmas all over again! :D The stationery is so beautiful, I love it so much. You should get more hearts, I wish I could give you more than one! I am ashamed that I haven't answered your letter yet, I do have it on a pile of letters I need to answer! I will write to you soon. I can't wait to use my beautiful new stationery! Off to make myself a cup of jasmine tea. :D
Comment: What a wonderful note and lovely additions (homemade card is gorgeous and I love the postcards). The separate postcard arrived today, too, and it is so perfect for my mapcard collection. I envy your small vegetable garden. We made zucchini brownies the other day... interesting way to use up extra zucchini!
Comment: Thanks for the package...sorry for taking so long in rating! The magazine is great, and I've already made one of the recipes from it. The hot cocoa was also awesome...I never knew something that wasn't chock full of calories could taste so good!
Comment: Thankyou for your lovely letter and treats. It is all wonderful. The postcards are beautiful and I can't wait to try the tea. I love the card you printed, it is amazing. I will write back to you soon. :D
Comment: Thanks so much for the great letter, envelopes & extra goodies! The paper that main envelope was made from is so lovely and I LOVE the block print mini cards :)
Comment: Lovely handmade notecard! And thanks for the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery pamphlet - can you believe I have a friend who lives in Norwich and works at that museum?!
P.S. You love doing the laundry? You need to see a doctor...lol
Response: Glad you liked it! It's a small world isn't it - I used to work in the Castle Museum too!
Comment: i was thrilled when i opened your package! thank you for the beautiful envelopes-the one you block printed is gorgeous. And thanks so much for those ad cards...I have never seen any and was so happy to receive. :)
Comment: Thanks for sharing your craft with me. Letterpress has always interested me too. Great job on your first try hopefully as you get more experience the time you spend on it will decrease.
Comment: Thanks so much for the photos, the letter and the extra notecard. Your babies are lovely. I especially loved the photo of the fellow with the chewed flowerpot in the green grass, and the two lying on the bench next to your journal.
Comment: Loads of lovely heart themed items. Thanks so much. Many of these will be great as gifts for my many yahoo groups and some, of course, will be MINE! I especially liked the postcards and notebook. Very cute!
Comment: Thank you! I do remember you from our previous swap. Your envelopes were just beautiful, especially the woodblock print, and thank you so much for the tea.
Comment: Your triplets are too sweet, Bryn looks very mischievous! But I bet Hal & Sam aren't too far behind. I have a group of very old babies too! Thanks so much for sharing. Mary
Comment: What an endearing letter you wrote about your Doxies---my husband laughed when he read it because he saw our Doxies pulling the same shenanigans! I'd love to stay in touch with you!
Comment: I liked looking at your blog and I left you a comment. My family recently got a large letterpress and I have a small one and your blog was absolutely inspiring, thanks.

Response: Wow, I wonder what the letter went through on its journey to Brazil! I'll have to buy a waterproof pen!
Comment: The ATC was fantastic and creative. I appreciate you telling me you had a hard time, because I did too - and i totally reuse those plastic thingies :)
the letter was wonderful!! So sweet to remember me in all these swaps. Some of your ideas I do do - so we're on the same wavelength :) - but some like support local craft shops and read craft magz online instead of wasting paper were GREAT and REALLY helpful, thanks!
Comment: I really liked your packaging as well! I love that you read about my wanting newspaper covered swap cards and thats exactly what you did. You are delightful!
Comment: Loved getting insight into your artistic process. Thank you for the thoughtful missive, the photos and the quirky, clever lentil print. Our art styles and processes are similar; I think if we were neighbors, we might be friends.
Comment: This matchbox was so precious! You did a wonderful job on it. I, too, have always wished to be a ballerina and actually took a ballet class as an adult but in a class filled with 13 year olds! My heart sang when the teacher would compliment us as a group and I was included with, "Look at how well my girls are dancing!" :) Thank you.
Comment: Wow, I wish two hearts were a possibility! This was a seriously awesome package, and I loved unwrapping everything. The coffee is especially amazing!
Comment: Thank-you so much for angeling me in this swap. I loved everything you sent and believe you deserve a dozen hearts for sending to me whan you didn't have to :)
Comment: Perfect in every way - Love the card and quality of it. Your cento was pieced so perfectly together and beautiful! Thanks for your effort and thoughtfulness :) This is going in my forever treasure box.
Comment: Thank you for making me 2 ATCs!!! I love them both! The "Hearts of Glass" card was so pretty. The "Journey" was a great one,too. I'm very pleased to receive some of the nicest cards ever!
Comment: Thanks for the great CD there were lots of songs on there that I didn't know but after playing it several times (it's on right now) I'm really getting into them. I love discovering new music and this is a great choice of stuff that's new to me. My fave so far is Be Gentle With Me - The boy least likely to, but I'm sure that'll change evertime I listen. Thanks again for a great compilation. Well presented and a nice explanation of all the categories. :)
Comment: Wow. Loved how the box was decorated and the lovely little items inside. Thank you for sending the extra based on my profile - very thoughtful of you.
Comment: Now I have this craving to fly to England and get some of that Indian food!!! That looked great!! Thank you so much. Now, IF I have the rate of exchange about right, then it seems like the pizza costs about the same as it does here--and the other places seem extremely reasonable compared to ours! Thanks!!
Comment: Thank you, Sarah, for your lovely package. You´ve picked so beautigul items and in my favourite colors. The PCs are so pretty I can´t use them, I keep them myself! You´re a generous and thoughtful swap partner. Thanks :)
Comment: Sarah, It is beautiful! And I love all the little "goodies" in it. This was my first time to do a matchbox, too, and I really enjoyed it. I hope we swap again sometime and I can send something to you.
Comment: thanks so much for the thoughtful envelope! not only did i get a chance to win the lottery, but i got a sachet of my fave tea which i just ran out of! :)
Comment: Sarah: It was fascinating learning more about Norwich. I loved the postcard and the lovely photo of your flat! Your letter enticed me so that next time we are over in Ipswich, I will "pop" up to Norwich! Cheers.
Comment: Wow! I wish I could give you more hearts! That was an amazing package! Oh he was sooooo surprised and pleased. He put the model together right away and is already planning the woodworking projects. The Doctor Who stickeers were a BIG hit and, like 12 yr olds, we are still giggling over the "sticky Italian figs" in the cookbook. THANK YOU!
Comment: Thanks bunches! What a great idea to take pictures of the items in your bag! I love the cute tissues and I really needed them--it's allergy season in Oklahoma! The little journal is just right to carry in my purse.
Kristi
Comment: Thank you for the ATC's. The North Sea ATC really does remind me of the North Sea - and of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans too. I like your idea for the pink hearts too.
Comment: I really like Sarah's fireplace!!!
God, how I love victorian style!
Thanks for sharing such a bueatiful place with me
Celia
p.s. also thanks for the papers and the tea!
