Comment: Thanks Mimi, the badger is SO cute, I am planning to have it framed for the nursery - where it will keep company to the adorable bunny you sent me in a previous swap -.

Comment: I absolutely LOVED your pictures! Thank you so much. I am originally from California and have been to the Huntington Library several times, so I really enjoyed seeing it again. That bridge in the Japanese garden is SO steep! Your photo looks like a place Monet would have loved. I loved going to the beach with you, too. ;) Thank you so much for brightening my day.

Comment: Thank you for beautiful postcard! I love the vintage image, and the quotes were really lovely! Happy Valentine's Day!

Comment: Thanks for the fun vintage PC reproduction! The image and poem are amusing. Love the quotes and the matryoshka stamp, too!

Comment: I love the postcard. Thank you for letting me into this group and helping me get my start on swap-bot. Maybe I will check out a few of these books. ;)

Comment: What a fun swap to receive! I really enjoyed your guilty pleasure YA reading. Although I had never heard of any of these, they sound right up my alley, and I am eager to try the Vampire Academy books.

Comment: Thank you so very much for the wonderful PC! Our mail is so slow lately, and things are being sent to the wrong place, as it happened with yours. Thank you for your patients while waiting on the rating. HUGS! :D

Comment: Lovely!! The chocolate was OF COURSE much appreciated, the bird house is sweet! And the box you mailed it in... rockin! (Thank you for the chain as well... a RAK to go with a RAK!! You RAK! I mean rock ;)

Comment: Wow!! Thankyou very, very much Mimi for the truly wonderful package that you sent to me. I could tell from the delightfully decorated envelope that I was in for a lovely suprise when I opened it up so there was much oooing and aaahing from me as I went through all the marvellous treats inside. I just love everything, you are very creative and thoughtful, you've certainly made me smile :) I've not read that book and I look forward to doing so rightaway! Special thankyous for that and for the badge welcoming me to the group. I wish I could give you lots of hearts and a big hug, Carol x

Comment: I love the paper flower, that is amazing! The Medieval gift tags are brilliant. I will use the Wild Things postcards on the next QuoteCard Postcard swap. I love the Tailor of Gloucester, my favorite though is Duchess and the Patty Pan so those postcards will probably end up in frames. The minature envelopes are darling, the journal and book mark are sweet and I love the card with the quote from Anne of Green Gables, amethysts and violets are my second favorite flower and gemstone. The Narnia cap is great, although I am sure one of my kids will claim it before the day is out....and thanks for the 100 Acre Woods button

Comment: even my hubby likes the smell of the lotion so I may have to share....hmmmmm..Thanks for the nice swap:)

Comment: Your Pooh Gram was perfect. My Hobbits enjoyed helping me discover the surprise at the bottom!! Thank you!

Comment: Thank you so much Mimi for this amazing package! I LOVE the Santana red leather purse! This is by far my new favorite purse! XD Your such a sweetie for sending me the pretty gold tone rings and darling pearl necklace too. I hope we do many more private swaps together, it was so much fun!

Comment: Oh again I am blown away by a lovely and most thoughtful package from a dear friend =D The slippers are indeed soooo comfy and fun as they make my mum laugh and my rabbit look on perplexed! I love all the little bits, the scrabble tiles and great bookmarks, the pretty note cards and yumscious chocolate, the stamp edge scissors are fab and will be so very useful and the gorgeous felted holly brooch which makes me look at needlefelting in a different way (perhaps I have just seen the rubbish kind) and the books are great, especially as I have never seen the Rosemary Wells bunny character! And, of course, what can I say other than that I absolutely adore my gorgeous handmade rabbit ornament which will not be put away for Christmas but kept out always! He is a cute and lovely and so beautifully made, my worrysome bunny and I have named him Sir Bunny-Kins hehehe =D Thankyou so very much and I look forward to our next installment =) <3

Comment: I adore owls. Hedwig is so beautiful. I love the FrogMouth Owls we get around here. The Tawny's are also beautiful

Comment: Great picture of the Great Gray Owl, and I love all your definitions you sent along. Happy New Year.

Comment: I absolutely loved the lovely treasures in my Christmas package! I am especially fond of the hand made lovelies that were included--the sweet little Cowan House ornament and my beautiful beautiful wreath! You are amazing! My craft inspiration!!!!! XOXOXOXO

Comment: Thanks

Comment: I love this unusual pc. thanks.

Comment: Your stocking was gorgeous, thanks so much!

Comment: That is a great gift idea!

Comment: Thank you, and forgive the delay in rating. I was super sick and just put everything off until I was feeling back to myself a bit!

Comment: Thanks for the lovely extras you sent me! These will be back shortly (hopefully! This time of year is always scary with the USPS!)

Comment: Love it thanks! Let me know when you receive your package.

Comment: Thanks for the lovely card and great quote! It is certainly one I will remember!

Comment: Hello Mimi, I love the card and the Quote is just right for me! Last month I buy a second hand vintage box, of the " Little house on the Prairy books", started reading on the airport waiting for my plane home and I just finished "On the banks of plum creek" ! Have a wonderful christmas too!

Comment: First of all, even though I've already said this, I just wanted to give you my deepest thanks for your patience with me and all the ideas you threw my way. The Shaun of the Dead shirt is so much more delightful in person and I'm sure that Nathan will get just as much of a kick out of it as I did with the Cat Woman shirt.

Comment: Hey Mimi, I got your homemade postcard today and I love it. The illustration is exactly what I think of when I imagine warm toasty winter nights. (when I was growing up, it was a treat to have coke with our popcorn and I always dipped my popcorn into the coke. I'd be repulsed if my kid did that!) Thanks for the recommendations - I remember the December my sister gave me "Starring Sally Jane Freedman As Herself" and I read it over the winter break. I still love it.

Comment: Oh my goodness. Your package was incredible... amazing... superlative... I'm at a loss, Mimi. Every single piece, from the heart-shaped tin, to the hand-made tags, to the McGuffey reader, vintage autograph book, apron WITH handkerchief inside... every single thing... every single stitch in the beautifully crafted stocking showed your thought and care. Hearts are not enough. "Thank you" is not enough. Even hugs are not enough. But all three to you, in abundance, and for all time, dear honeybee.

Comment: Wow, I have not read either books before. I am taking the Christmas story into my class and reading it for the first time today. Thank you :)

Comment: Thank you SO much for the great Harry Potter shirt...and the extra Penguins one you sent as well! My daughter has claimed them both...even though she's only 3 so they're much too large for her! You went above and beyond so I hope when I'm able to send off my package to you it doesn't disappoint :)

Comment: I wish there was an option for 100 hearts~you deserve them! Thank you so much. I LOVE everything. I have been searching for those little deer for months and they are always sold out. I couldn't believe it when I saw them, you made my week. :) The toppers are so cute and I adore the little buttons. I am looking so forward to dressing up my holiday cupcakes. Take care, happy holidays and thank you again!!!

Comment: WOW!!! What a wonderful kit. Very professional and eye candy that is delightful to my eyes. A hundred hearts to you my dear!

Comment: Despite your many hints, I am at a complete loss! Who is it???

Comment: Thank you for sharing!

Comment: Thank you for your card, I love Monet ;) Your story is really interesting. Thanks for sharing

Comment: Thank you so much! I adore my Red Riding Hood ornaments and can't wait to put them on the tree!! You're so awesome!

Comment: Thanks so much for the cute card! We actually have a Steinway baby grand at the historic theatre where I often work on productions.

Comment: Thanks so much for the PC, I love it! And of course the facts bears :)

Comment: Wow! What a package of choc-o-block full of amazing loveliness! You have brought many, many big smiles to my face! The owls, the Petit Prince items, the images, the addie labels, the rings... everything is perfect! I am truly over the moon, and INSPIRED!:)

Comment: Very cool! That turned out really well! Thank you for laminating it. The book you suggested - I just requested it from the library. :o)

Comment: Awesome postcard! Fantastic facts from England too! Love, love, love this card!

Comment: Thanks so much for the lovely Degas card and facts! (love the French stamps as well!)

Comment: I'm going to guess The Golden Compass" or maybe another book in the series? I really like the card you wrote it on too!

Comment: Awesome!!! you made my day with that card, glad to swap with you too and always enjoy seeing you in the forums too. I love Zombies!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment: Hi Mimi, Thanks for the wicked Edward Gorey postcard! I like Mondo too! Sharon

Comment: Got the Edward Gorey postcard and LOVE it. Thank you so much for helping me out as a newbie and giving me a second chance. So many people would have said 'sorry you didn't understand the rules' and moved on. Thank you for sharing your animal familiar with me. I'll be looking for your next confessions swaps! Elyse

Comment: Hi Mimi, thanks for the great book suggestion and pc! I'll definitely check it out. I really loved the picture on the front of the pc. This was a really lovely swap :)

Comment: !!! What an amazing package from the packaging to the contents. I adore everything. Especially the address labels! Thank you for your note and for the thought you put into everything. :)

Comment: Oh I sooo wish I could attend this tea party!! It sounds like it would be so much fun! And I am most certainly going to envision myself at the party while I try the ginger tea! =) Thank you.

Comment: Again... Just WOW! Your imagination and skill are both awesome. I enjoyed opening this package and reading the letters that went with the calling cards (and other swap gifts). Including the actual fairy tale was just over the top wonderful. Thank you!

Comment: Amazing! Beautiful! I am so lucky I got you as a partner! I adore the beautiful pin cushion, pins and scissors. Not only gorgeous, but things I'll actually use all the time. How cool is that? Thank you so much!

Comment: What a lovely letter! I've never read the Katie John books though I did hear about them as a child... how did I miss picking up this/these volumes?! I bet people didn't like being "improved..." much as the AVIS came under fire in the Anne books! Thank you for your thoughtfulness. :)

Comment: Thank you, sweet Mimi, for the lovely package(s) so reminiscent of Anne from the outside ribbon to the inside content -- all wonderfully chosen with care. I love how the vintage frame has matte glass... I've never seen that before! And what a lovely poem. The bookmark... the necklace... I feel like Anne did on that Christmas morning when she opened her box of puffed sleeves ('tho I'll admit I always think of the blue dress from the film rather than the actual brown gloria stated in the book...). I'm so glad we share a love for this Anne and are kindred spirits!

Comment: Super duper parcel of postal goodness! I loved it all. Thank you so much for putting together such a lovely package!

 

Comment: I love Edward Gorey! Thank you so much for the Snoopy stamp,too! I remember those! Love your note too - hope we swap again! : )

Comment: My apologies for not rating sooner. I got this last week, but then went on conference. I will give them a try, and am even going to check Amazon for the book.

Comment: Wow! It is so awesome to have you as my partner. Your package was spectacular! I love both sets of the stamped cupcake toppers, and the extra invites are adorable. Thank you so much! You made my day. Happy Halloween! xoxo

Comment: Wow!! What an amazing package you put together for me with all the handmade items! I love how you decorated the outside of your package. And I was just overwelmed with all the things inside. The tags are adorable I really really love that cat face! The straws are really fun and I will put them out for the Halloween party I'm having. I just went crazy over the incredibly cute address labels too!! I just love all the thought, originality and work that you put inot this swap for me! Thank you for such a fun Halloween package

Comment: Thanks so much for the awesome postcard AND for the fabulous facts :)

Comment: I love love love the labels, thank you!! I especially love the cuttlefish on the swap labels =D Thank you ever so much!!

Comment: Thanks a lot for the '8 days of food' :o)

Comment: Thanks for sharing! I hope your wrist is better :)

Comment: Holy WOWZA Lady~ This was supposed to be 1 T-shirt? I got 4, PLUS so many other things. I was down to my last strip of address labels and the ones you made for me are just perfect. Earlier this week I was looking at your Blog when I fell in love with this blue haired 'lady who lunches' and I NEVER thought you'd part with her. I am so happy you did though! She will have a great home here on a dedicated shelf with all of my favorite swaps. The lotions look lovely, the scrap book embellishments are much needed and I would never think of ripping apart this very nice pearl necklace., You went so above and BEYOND on this swap I am in awe. I give you a rare standing ovation~ Thank you so much for this wonderful swap!

Comment: OMG they are amazing!! *_*

Comment: You know you truly deserve a thousand hearts and more. This was the most thoughtful and lovely package I have ever recieved. Thankyou so very much hun, I love it all <3

Comment: The poppies are incredible! I'm likely moving out to the West Coast next year and may have to make a special trip for these!

Comment: Blessings!

Comment: Wow... oh, wow. From the outside of the package ("from one little house to the other") to the lovely hand-made tag; to the My Melody Pez; to the not only 1 sheet of candy corn labels, but THREE and with a Laura-type one; everything is amazing and just lovely. You have spoiled me with a package, and not an envelope of labels. I loved most, though, reading your note and knowing that someone else also adores the Little House and other children's books as much as I do. I can't wait to put together your package and hope it makes you smile as much as your's did for me. Warm hugs and a thousand hearts to you...

Comment: Gorgeous flowers, thank you. Mary

Comment: What an awesome book! Thank you so much! I don't think I read it as a kid, so I'll get to enjoy it for the first time now. I LOVE the picture of your koala! I still have my first teddy with me too. Every now and then nothing else helps except a hug from Red Bear.

Comment: I can't even begin to say how much I love the package you sent me! Everything was amazing. It definitely shows that you put a genuine effort into reading my profile and sending things I would love. I ate the panda cookies right away! Thank you so much!

Comment: Thanks! I'll definitely need to check out that book.

 

Comment: That's some good advice. : )

Comment: The PC you sent me is beautiful! Thank you so much! Jane Austen fans unite! ;)

Comment: Thank you for the great card. How fun it is to read the notes backward.

Comment: Great email! And a wonderful way of explaining your street and area--nice photos and trees. Well done!

Comment: Thanks for the list.

Comment: Oh dear, where to begin... Well, all the envelopes were fun to open, felt like christmas. And the letter is great, as is the certificate of adoption as well! Vella herself is adorable, she's been bonding with my octopus stuffies well. I'm flattered by the way you've read my profile; octopi, kool-aid, and you've even found out Finnish sea goddess! Plus I love the stickers that were on the envelopes. Thank you so much!

Comment: Thanks! :)

Comment: This sounds really good thanks!!

 

Comment: thanks a lot

Comment: Thank you so much for the comment!

Comment: It makes a lot of sense that hurtful words come out because you want your feelings heard. I can certainly point to moments like that in my arguments. Thank you for sharing that thought. Maybe now that I think of it that way I can simply say how I feel other than words I'll regret. Thanks for checking out my blog :-)
