Comment: Thank you so much for the fantastic filled envie. I loved everything and the envelope is just great....you did a great job. thanks so much extra hearts!!!!!!

Comment: Christie, oh my goodness! What a wonderful fall-ish package! First, you have stolen my heart with all the hot chocolate... generous, generous girl! I love your handmade recipe cards, complete with photographs! Yum and yum, they all look very tasty. And your lovely long letter - I do live in a hot climate so we don't really experience autumn here, but your description made it come alive (even though you're in spring right now.) I adore the felties - until I read the letter I thought they were grumpy koalas. Now that I know what they REALLY are, they're even better! I can't wait to try the Milo - I opened it up first thing to smell it because I am a *freak* for malt. This is going to be my new favorite thing and I may just hoard it and not share (I loved all your serving suggestions.) Thank you so much for all your thought and effort - it was such a treat to open.

Comment: Thankyou Christie for the gorgeous little spring-time Nabie, it is so cute I love him. I love his little home, so sweet.I love the felt catterpillar and love the cute food container and thankyou Christie for the butterfly broach. If I could give you more hearts for a lovely thoughtful little babie and his home, love jennifer.

Comment: What a creatively-decorated envelope and fun swap to receive! I enjoyed looking at each of the goodies - especially the Itty Bitty Baggie of postage ephemera and the beautiful ATC you made. You've inspired me to make another inside-out-art-velope and some more ATCs!!

Comment: I love this coloring book. It is by far one of the best swaps I've ever gotten. I could never actually color it. Also, I'm glad you too now like Chococat. I've always considered him a boy LOL XD but they never really say what it is.

Comment: Awesome! thank you so very much for resending such a beautiful swap. I'm so sorry the first one got lost - you must have put so much effort into it if this one is anything to go by! thank you! thank you!

Comment: Thanks for giving me the entire backstory about the little bird!! It was very cool! And I have heard that birds go back to where they were born to re-build, so there is a good chance that you might see your little guy again!!

Comment: Oh my! I LOVE them!!!! found my zines in my mailbox this morning just as we were leaving for a long drive moving my daughter back to college. What a lovely way to pass time in the car! The doodle one is my fav with the zine one a close second. Im going to try to make one tonight. Thanks again and please let me know if you ever want to do another private swap! *hugs*

Comment: Again OMG! You sent so much and one thing made me more amazed than the first. Am not sure where to start....Your tiny dotees have to sweet faces and they look just so lovely. I love especially the black angel kitty, he is so tiny and cute, reminds me so much of my dead cat. This is most special to me! Also the tiny stuffies you made are simply great. It felt like Christmas, thanks so much for such a wonderful package, made my day!

Comment: OMG! The pendant is a blast, it looks fantastic. You did such a nice job with it. I like the different beads you used, it is very creative. Thanks!

Comment: I very much enjoyed opening up your envelope and seeing your creativity burst onto paper. Your zentagles are truly beautiful and very expressing, and I liked the way you did your personal zine. It is unique and precise. Love the expression. Thank you so much. :)

Comment: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what more can I say that I have not said in the last one?? YOU ROCK!!! The whimsy button superman made me smile..The button worm was just adorable,the notebook,oh everything!!!! Hugs to you for making us smile...

Comment: WOWheeee! I am doing a happy dance and feeling giddy! (like the little girl in all of us!) I have been sick the last few days, so your package just cheered me up! Thank you for sharing your AMAZING talent with me. I feel so honored and I'm in love with my new favorite super hero "Bertrand" :) You deserve more than just one heart. How about a hundred or so for your thoughtfulness and such attention to detail? I feel your swap made up for the swaps I was flaked on.You are so sweet, very kind and generous with your swaps and talent. Thank you!! <3<3<3

Comment: I don't even have words to express how much I love the door hanger. It's *beautiful* and I love everything about it. The Fringe quotes are just perfect, I love those banters between Walter and Peter. Walter is by far my favorite character on the show, I love how he does the strangest things like they were the most normal thing ever. I can't wait till someone comes back home to show it off. Thank you very very much.

Comment: OMG!!!! This is SO fabulous! I was wondering what on earth was coming to me all the way from down under - guess I didn't go read your profile or didn't pay attention when I did - Anyway, it is hard to believe this is your vey first shrine. Love the thinking outside the (match)box! This will be so proudly displayed. I am taking it to my reg Fri.night girl's play night tonight to show off to my other "Bot friends. I know they will be sooooo jealous. Thanks again, Christie!

Comment: Christie, you did such a great job. She is elegant and your explanation letter made it all the more interesting. Dottee is right for her. Already hanging from a door in my living room. this was such a fun swap. Bless you. Coleen

Comment: I just got my package!! WOW!! First let me say my kids were so excited to get the little pom pom characters and my son has even named his. Second, your box was definitely a WOW package!! Everything was so creative and so much time was spent on great detail and making it personal-I love it all! I especially love the mini picture book, so many fun summer things packed into a mini thing-clever and cute. Great colors, artistry, talent and ideas. The extras were great too! I also liked that it all went together. Wonderful package-thank you!

Comment: Hi! I just received the swap today!!! I'm so happy it finally arrived! And what I found inside! The matchbox was the most creative thing I ever received! The mice vere so cute there, I love them! <3 And thank you for all the stuff you included is just amaising! And really useful! :) The little note book you sent is so beautiful! I am planning to use it for something special! The inchies are so artistic too! You are an amaising person, I want to thank you for all that love I felt from the each every item you made! I made 4 pictures with some notes on Flickr, here is one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/egonyan/4771065110/

Comment: WOW! What a wonderful 'bizzy bee' yellow swap package you made special for me! Thank you for so many wonderful things you've sent to me. The little book about your fiance' and the bee made me grin. LOL! The matchbox is perfect! I don't have a bee matchbox and I LOVE this one! Everything is so creative and I'll enjoy my little wind chime right outside my door where I can hear it when I cook in my kitchen or outside in my garden. I'll think of you often. Hearts to you!! <3 <3 <3

Comment: Thank you very very much for the beautiful package! your handmade items are gorgeous, i love the red glittery paper(?) you've used. the combined envelope and note papers is an interesting idea! plus it's very beautiful, as is the atc. the little red sea star is so cute! and the fish pin.. You really spoiled me. :)

Comment: Every item in this swap had a major wow factor! I could give you a ton of hearts and fives! Your ATCs are totally amazing. 'You are the Artist in ATC.' Your presentation in the beautiful folders was très magnifique! I also loved your extras, the handmade card, special butterfly ATC papers, ribbon, empheria, and the fantastic altered domino pin. You put such thought, time and effort into preparing this swap. Thank for so very much. It is one of the best handmade swaps I have received to date. It made my day and inspired me to greater heights with my own arts and crafts. They say we will learn from our children, but since I have no artistic girl children to share with I am blessed to meet such wonderful 20 somethings who teach this 48 year old school teacher new things each day. I even look up my young partners books and music that they mention on profiles, because as a musician and reader I always like new ideas. And once again the Aussie swap partners I've had have all been fantastic! You must have a Aussie crafters code of ethics. I hope we stay in touch for years to come and trade frequently. Smiles and Hugs from Canada, Le Papillon Vert

Comment: Thank you for the letter - I will try to write back as soon as possible. It was a great package to get in the mail!

Comment: Yay for long letters! I loved the doodles all over it. You sound like such a lovely person, and I'm mad jealous of your job, working with graphic design sounds like fun :] Thanks for the ATC you sent too, it's beautiful :] I'd definitely like to write you back, if that's ok with you. I'm assuming I should send it to the Rockingham address, as opposed to the one on the letter..?

Comment: I literally gasped with excitement when I opened my envelope today! This is my best swap prize yet! :) I have wanted to start making cards and loved the way you made mine. I'm going to try to make one like it for a friend. Thank you so much for such a wonderful and thoughtful gift. Also - Pincushion....ADORABLE!!!!!! Can't wait to show my friends at work tomorrow.

Comment: Oh, goooodness! I love this stuffie. The detail and thought behind it (the two little ones!) are amazing. And the extras and note were super special. Many thanks!

Comment: I got my letter last week, sorry I forgot to rate you! Thank you! I really enjoyed hearing from you, and I can't wait to write back!

Comment: I must have known somehow that this was going to be the one of the best swaps I ever got because for weeks now I've been on pins & needles waiting for it to arrive! Finally today the matchbox & all the goodies you included got here. Where do I even begin?! Did you get things off my etsy wish list? If so, you are the greatest & if not, you're a mind reader. I don't know where you found those itty bitty watch gear parts but they are just WOW, I love them. Speaking of WOW that booklet you made or found with all the engineer companion pets you can make in World of Warcraft... talk about paying attention to detail in your partners profile, you went above & beyond which I cannot thank you enough for. Plus HOLY COW ARE YOU CREATIVE!! that little mini robot and the booklet to care for it. I could hug you and squeeze you for so much awesomeness in such a tiny package. THANK YOU AND A MILLION MORE HEARTS TO YOU!!!

Comment: If I could give you a million hearts I would. Your package exceeded all expectations...brand new items, so many items, all packaged with love! Thank you so much Christie! Hugs!
