Comment: It came today. You mentioned elderberry...we have elderberries here and I make elderberry syrup to use for colds and coughs for us...it works better than cough medicine!
Response: That's so cool that you grow elderberries! My cousin does that too, I think it's a wonderful alternative to medicine and has been helpful when I'm pregnant. :) Thanks for the heart!

Comment: Your journal was a pleasure to read. Thank you so much for inviting me in to your month! I hope your barista skills keep improving, and your health and comfort are staying level. I very much enjoyed hearing how you spent your days and would give you three stars if I could!
Response: Thank you!! :) I am slowly seeing improvement in my barista skills, but definitely still a bit slow and I need to study the drink recipes! Thank you for the well wishes, I'm so glad you enjoyed my journal! take care <3

Comment: Thanks for the lovely letter! Finding a good paper for fountain pens can be a bit of a pain - I have a Mnemosyne notebook that I love using... or should I say loved until I spilled my water bottle on it at work a couple of weeks ago! I will write back soon!
Response: You're welcome! :) That seems to be the case, I'm glad you found paper that works well for you! Aw man, maybe it will still work after it dries out.. just a little wrinkled :) I look forward to hearing back from you! take your time

I had to check out your profile after running into you in the group forums (and because how can I resist scoping out the other journaling redheads on this site). Your profile is really stellar. I might have to mooch the write me prompts idea for mine.
Also, for how much we absolutely do not have in common we sure have a lot in common. I hope we run into each other in a swap at some point or something. (:
ciao,
Met
